Trauma, Round 2 | Let’s Discuss… with Dr. Jenny Hughes

Dr. Huge is BACK! We discuss the difference between Vicarious and Secondary Trauma, the importance of community, and why she prefers to call it a Dance of Life and Work rather than balance.

Further, we discuss Vicarious Resilience that can be found in helping professions that can aid us in remembering why we do the work we do, even when we experience some of the darkest times.

Trauma, Round 2 | Let’s Discuss… with Dr. Jenny Hughes
For those who listened to last week’s podcast – and if you haven’t, give it a listen and you’ll know what I’m referencing! – an update of my Mother’s Day flowers drying process!

I could not be more thrilled with how they turned out and am grateful to get to look at them all day I’m at my desk at work!

Y’all I’m on my soapbox today. Make sure you’re ready to hear my true thoughts on the things people think are useful to say to a person going through whatever their perinatal journey is.

Quick thoughts on Mother’s Day | Let’s Discuss…

I have so much more I want to say, but my dang voice just wasn’t having it.

What are your thoughts on Mother’s Day celebrations?

It’s a super mixed bag for me, which is why I wanted to discuss! #letsdiscusswithmeg

Toxic Masculinity Ruins the Party Again | Let’s Discuss!

One of my most anticipated guests to date, hop into my bio for links to listen to my childhood friend and daily hype man/sanity partner, Ryan Hammel, and I discuss all things toxic masculinity!

Y’all know how it can be when two old friends get going, so it’s no surprise to learn our chat was a hoot and a half, a deep and meaningful discussion, and we may have decided to create another podcast together?

March is #SocialWorkMonth! I appreciate the work so many of my colleagues are doing.

We are always learning and growing, and I know many of us have service of others as the main tenet of our careers!
