Your Fellow Human

Casey is many things among which social worker, mental health researcher, prison abolitionist, Muy Thai fighter, parent, advocate for others, and a partner in a relationship.  She shares in a way I wish more of us were honest about when it comes to parenting: The feedback from work and others about how patient she is paralleled with being a parent and where patience can feel like a struggle, and how It just takes so much work to be the parent she wants to be. We talk about what it would look like to be more self critical as a social worker, what it means to live out a belief within her career and practice, and the responsibility and conversation between police and social workers. She shares an honest and open description of what depression feels like and what it feels like having that managed. We talk about feminism and how it isn’t about hating men but the reason for it’s need to be understood and accepted, but also how that awareness does not lessen the disadvantage in cisgender men. So tune in and meet this powerful and compassionate human that I am truly honored to share with you.
