After seven years of podcasting and over 200 episodes, the podcast is returning with a new name, a renewed direction and weekly episodes back in your ears.

I first started podcasting in 2018 under the name The Helpers. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to sit down with guests and explore conversations about relationships, personal development, meditation, communication, grief, loss and all the things that come with being human.

I later created Social Worker in Private Practice, a podcast centred around the business side of private practice. I shared what I was learning, what was working in my own business and the lessons along the way. My intention was always simple: to share openly, rather than gatekeep information, so that other social workers building their own practices could feel a little less alone.

Now, I’m bringing the heart of both podcasts together under one name: The Curious Social Worker.

This next chapter is about being human.

It’s a space for honest, vulnerable and thoughtful conversations about the things we experience, the things we struggle with, the things we learn and the ways we continue to grow.

I will always consider myself a student of what it means to be human. I’m endlessly curious about why we do what we do, how we relate to ourselves and others, and what helps us navigate the complexities of life.

I’ll continue to share what has helped me, inspired me and challenged me, drawing from my lived experience, my work with clients, the experience of running a values-based business and, importantly, the work I continue to do on myself.

My hope is to explore these topics in a way that feels accessible, using simple, everyday language without overcomplicating the things that are already complicated enough.

This podcast has evolved alongside me, and I imagine it will continue to do so.

I’m looking forward to sharing more, staying curious and having conversations that remind us of our shared humanity.

New episodes will be released weekly, and I’ll also be gradually bringing past episodes from the archives back into your feed.

You can listen to The Curious Social Worker on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Thank you for being here, whether you’ve been listening since 2018 or are only just finding your way here.

Here’s to staying curious about what it means to be human.
