Ever wondered how a natural disaster could redefine your career path? Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Constance McConnell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Financial Social Worker, (CFSW) whose journey into social work began after a tornado struck her town during her senior year of high school. Constance reveals how this life-altering event led her to pivot from psychology to social work, and she shares her experiences working with students on individualized educational plans in elementary schools. You'll gain valuable insights into the day-to-day responsibilities of a school social worker and the profound impact they have on young lives.
But that's not all. We also explore the world of financial social work with Constance, uncovering the psychological and behavioral challenges individuals face regarding personal finances. She offers practical strategies for helping clients open up about their financial histories, understand their money attitudes, and align their financial goals with personal values. We'll tackle the stigma around financial discussions and the importance of fair compensation in the social work profession. Through motivational interviewing and real-life success stories, Constance illustrates how combining financial social work with coaching can empower clients to manage their finances confidently and destigmatize money talk. Tune in for an episode packed with actionable advice and inspiring stories!
