Inside Social Work Podcast
a bit about this podcast
I’m Marie Vakakis, and this podcast takes you behind the scenes of the social work profession. Through candid conversations, practical insights, and thought-provoking discussions, we’ll explore the challenges, successes, and everyday experiences that shape the work we do.
Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner, a student, or simply curious about social work, this podcast is here to inspire, connect, and bridge the gap between research and practice. Together, we’ll reflect on lifelong learning, personal growth, and what it truly means to support people through life’s pivotal moments.
Thank you for joining me—I’m so glad you’re here!
