Episode Details

In this episode, we explore the tension between the fast-paced, task-driven nature of social work and the deeper need for presence, reflection, and meaning. 

Rhian Taylor shares insights from her recent blog on why it’s so hard for practitioners to stop—and how doing so can radically improve our wellbeing and the quality of our practice.

We talk about:

• The systemic pressures that reward constant “doing”
• The emotional and professional cost of never stopping
• How rest, reflection, and inner awareness can reconnect us with our values and vocation
• Practical ways social workers can integrate “being” into their everyday work
