Join me, Tammy Roche, for another episode of Social Worker in Private Practice.

Not just for social workers anymore—this podcast dives into the work, the life, and the deeper questions in between.

In this episode, I'm talking about what it really means to tune in when our body is speaking—often louder than we realize. From fatigue and tension, to those subtle nudges we tend to dismiss, our body is constantly sending us notifications. The question is: are we paying attention, or are we too busy silencing the alerts?

I share my own experiences with ignoring the signs until they couldn't be ignored any longer, and what shifted when I finally chose to listen. Learning to honour the signals of our body isn't just about self-care—it's about creating a healthier, more sustainable way of living and working.

If you've been feeling worn out, disconnected, or like your body is waving a red flag you'd rather not see, this episode is an invitation to pause, notice, and respond with compassion.

The podcast will take a short break and will resume with all new episodes in October.

P.S. – Also in October, I'll be participating in the 2025 Shitbox Rally—a car rally fundraiser raising money for Cancer Council. It's a cause that's deeply meaningful to me, and I'd love for you to check it out. You can learn more and support my journey at tammyroche.com/giving-2025-1.

Not just for social workers anymore—this podcast dives into the work, the life, and the deeper questions in between.

In this episode, I explore the different ways we try to "keep the peace," from the chronic accommodator and the avoider, to the fixer, the chameleon, the overfunctioner, and the self-silencer. For years, I wore more than one of those hats, believing it was my job to smooth things over.

I've learned that sometimes you have to embrace discomfort in the moment to protect your well-being in the long term. Avoiding it might keep everyone else comfortable for a moment, but it can quietly drain you over time.

I'm sharing what it's looked like to choose real peace over false harmony, and how stepping into the hard moments has brought more calm into my life—not less.

Not just for social workers anymore— this podcast dives into the work, the life, and the deeper questions in between.

In this episode, I'm talking about what it really means to let go. Not in a surface-level, & just move on; kind of way, but the deeper, often uncomfortable process of releasing control, expectations, and the stories we've been carrying for too long.

Letting go doesn't mean giving up. It means making space for growth, for peace, for whatever's next. I'm sharing what that's looked like in my own life, how it's shown up in my work, and the messy, real truth behind it all.

If you've been holding on to something out of fear, habit, or identity, I hope this episode reminds you that release is possible and powerful.
