SUNDAYS WITH SHAVEL
A social work inspired podcast that aims to inform and entertain by featuring inspired personal stories, and conversations of healing that fuel the growth of faith, hope, endurance, and resilience. This podcast is about growing forward, living on purpose, and enjoying life in the process. One specific topic does not define this show. It will involve a variety of topics with the central aim to inspire and empower. This podcast is meant to appeal to everyone. If you are a social worker or social work student, I hope you find the episodes from this podcast valuable for self-reflection, self-discovery and processing the intersection of the personal and professional self in practice. If you are not a social worker, I hope you appreciate the free flowing, personal nature of the show and allow the colorful and rich storied moments shared in each episode multiply investment in your own life’s journey.
