Why One Income Doesn’t Feel Enough Anymore for Social Worker Mums

In this episode of Social Work Moms Beyond Burnout, I’m talking about something many social worker mums and helping professionals feel but don’t always say out loud — when one income no longer feels enough, even though you love the work you do.

If you’ve been feeling the pressure of motherhood, rising costs, financial responsibility, and wanting more flexibility, this episode will help you think differently about money, options, and what might be possible alongside social work.

In this episode, I explore:

• why one income started to feel limiting for me

• how motherhood made that pressure even more real

• the guilt many women carry around wanting more money

• the impact of our money story and the beliefs we absorb

• why social work skills are more transferable than many women realise

• how to begin thinking differently about income, flexibility, and possibility
