Hosted by Laura Swanson, a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Central New York, The Social Work Bubble Podcast is an ongoing conversation meant to fortify the community of care providers. Laura started this podcast out of a recognized need for more connection and shared dialogue within the profession, moving beyond isolated practice to a collective space. Each episode delves into the real, often unspoken, aspects of social work. You’ll hear frank discussions about navigating complex clinical decisions, the nuances of ethical intervention, and the practical realities of licensure and MSW programs. The show also explores detailed case studies, not as abstract lessons, but as lived experiences from the field. This podcast is designed as a resource for both seasoned professionals and those just considering a career in social work, covering the vast terrain in between. It’s more than an informational listen; it’s an invitation to a supportive network. By sharing knowledge and personal reflections, Laura aims to create an audio hub where social workers can find solidarity, reduce professional burnout, and ultimately thrive together. Tune in to be part of a community that understands the unique pressures and profound rewards of this essential work.
