Changed my life/outlook

I'm a current BSW student who is a white female. This podcast has honestly guided my educational journey within social work more than my regular college classes. I cannot thank you guys enough for sacrificing time and vulnerability to help this world and field become a better place. I know that because of this podcast, I have rethought my career path and outlook as a future professional in the social work field. I am a rambler so I apologize haha but I just really love this podcast and recommend it not just for anyone involved in the social work field, but as a human in general. Much love and respect. ❤️
