    Episode 35: We don’t have to work for free

    In this episode, Marie and I unpack the belief that charging for our services makes us less caring. We talk about fee transparency, the real costs of running a practice, and how the expectation of free or underpaid labour undermines both social workers and clients.

    What’s been the hardest parts of this work, what does it look like now? What are the great things? Social work doesn’t follow a straight line, it’s often what we call a squiggly career.
