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 performers
• Why inadequate pay is an underacknowledged driver of burnout
• Individual factors that increase burnout risk: people-pleasing, perfectionism, and high empathy
• The six-step burnout recovery framework from Shaina's book
• The problem with asking job candidates "What do you do for self-care?"
• What employers and leaders can do to create burnout-protective workplaces
• Shaina's advice for anyone currently in the thick of burnout

Social workers who work in organ transplantation can work in a variety of settings and this episode gives you an idea of what that actually means. I am joined by Sam Butler, LCSW, and Dora Vanderpool, LCSW, to get into the day-to-day of both their past and current roles in transplant social work.

We talk through the different paths you can take, from working in dialysis centers and supporting transplant recipients to walking alongside organ donor families. If medical social work or end-of-life work is of interest to you, this episode is for you!

We chat about:

• Roles of social workers in transplant and organ procurement organizations
• The emotional and logistical challenges that come with this work
• The organ donation process from donor families to recipients
• Salaries, the importance of financial stability for social workers, and money confidence encouragement
