Episode Synopsis
Have you ever wondered if you’re really cut out to be an accredited mental health social worker? If you’re smart enough, good enough, or if everyone else has it figured out while you’re still feeling like an imposter? What about talking money and finances? Branding and marketing?You’re not alone.In this special 10-part collaboration, I team up with Ashton Hayes, host of Becoming an AMHSW, to share the messy, honest realities of becoming an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker. We share our own lived experiences, the winding career paths that shape who we are, impostor syndrome, self-doubt, and discuss the often-taboo topic of money stories.You won't want to miss this seriesAcross the series we talk about:The challenges and frustrations of AMHSW applications and pathwaysThe truth about starting out in private practiceWhy vulnerability and connection matter so much in this workMoney beliefs, charging clients, and financial security in social workBuilding networks and community so the work feels less lonelyThis isn’t a guidebook. It’s two social workers sharing the behind-the-scenes stories that often go unspoken.
