About this episode
In this episode, we trek deep into the untamed wilderness of social work—where the paperwork vines are endless, the emotional terrain is unpredictable, and burnout predators lurk in the shadows. Shannon, our fearless social worker, shares her origin story: what led her to brave this wild profession, the skills she's picked up along the way, and the rewarding moments that make it all worthwhile. So grab your metaphorical machete (or just some headphones) and join us as we explore the raw, real, and sometimes downright wild journey of helping others.
