    40. Is Building Wealth as a Social Worker Against the Code of Ethics?

    "Making this much money is against the code of ethics." "If you care about money, you should have been a psychologist or counselor, not a social worker. In this episode, we're addressing comments regarding our episode with Liz Rhea, a therapist in Georgia who made $224,000 in 2025. A few comments suggested that earning that kind of income is antithetical to social work ethics, that wanting financial stability makes you selfish, and that if money matters to you, maybe you shouldn't be a social worker at all. We have thoughts. 😅 We chat about: The comments that sparked this conversationWhat the NASW Code of Ethics actually says about incomeHow the savior complex shows up financially in our professionWhy struggling financially is not solidarity with our clientsWhy social workers policing each other's salaries is a form of self-oppressionWhy financial stability is important for us and the people we serve Resources mentioned: "The Obligation of White Women: Dismantling White Supremacy Culture in Social Work Education"Doin' the Work Podcast: White Supremacy Culture in Social Work Connect with us!

To receive CE credit, you must pay, register, and complete the required post-test and evaluation. Listening alone does not guarantee credit.

In this episode, we chat with Shaina Siber, LCSW, who is a therapist, author, and host of the Affirming Minds podcast. This was a very refreshing and honest conversation! We really didn't want this to be another typical conversation that includes telling you to "do more yoga". (Although I know this can be a healthy practice, it can't solve all your problems.) We dive into the real systemic, environmental, and individual factors that impact burnout, including capitalism, inadequate pay, moral injury, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. This conversation is meant for social workers at all levels to notice warning signs, critically analyze the issue, and learn tips for how to manage burnout. We chat about: Key burnout symptoms, including ones that are often missed in high performersWhy inadequate pay is an underacknowledged driver of burnoutIndividual factors that increase burnout risk: people-pleasing, perfectionism, and high empathyThe six-step burnout recovery framework from Shaina's bookThe problem with asking job candidates "What do you do for self-care?"What employers and leaders can do to create burnout-protective workplacesShaina's advice for anyone currently in the thick of burnout Resources mentioned: Using ACT and CFT for Burnout Recovery: The Beyond Burnout BlueprintAffirming Minds CE Podcast Connect with us!
