Ep. 79 Making Money in Social Work! ft. Teddy Nguyen
About this episode
On this episode of The Social Work Bubble Podcast, we are joined by Teddy Nguyen, a social worker & financial coach to dive into the widely held negative beliefs about money that social workers hold & to get into strategies to support financial wellbeing!
Teddy Nguyen is a Texas-based social worker and Financial Coach. He brought his experience working with addiction recovery, homelessness, mental health, and child welfare into the personal finance world. He sees an incredible amount of pessimism when it comes to personal money management, and his goal is to bring hope and optimism to people! He is living proof that you can do work you love AND be content with the lifestyle that fits within that income. It’s no secret that social workers aren’t “rich”, but we can still create rich lives for ourselves when we understand our money, our behaviors, and ourselves.
He received his LBSW in May 2022 and is on track to complete his MSW in May 2025. Hiss full time social work role is helping teenagers and young adults transition out of foster care and into adulthood. He gets to help them dream of a future they can be excited for and outline the steps to get there, very similar to his coaching practice!
