In this joint episode with Bas Moreno, host of Social Work Rants, we have a real and honest conversation about the challenges happening in clinical supervision right now — and what social workers can do about it.

We talk about:

• Common clinical supervision struggles (from both supervisor and supervisee perspectives)

• The writing process behind The Rising Clinical Supervisor Log

• Building multiple income streams as a social worker

• Why generational wealth matters in our profession

• Balancing advocacy, social justice, and personal well-being

• Practical self-care strategies for stress management

With my book, The Rising Clinical Supervisor Log, publishing this Wednesday, I also share what it was like to write it, why I created it, and how it’s designed to support both clinical supervisors and associates in staying organized, ethical, and confident.
