Episode 78 | Hush Money: Why Clinicians Are Afraid to Want Wealth with Taylor Gilbert, LCSW & Faith Voss, LCSW [Mental Health Edit]

In this episode of The Affirming Minds Podcast: Mental Health Edit, Shaina sits down with Taylor Gilbert, LCSW, and Faith Voss., LCSW, co-hosts of the Social Work to Wealth Podcast, for a candid conversation about money, sustainability, and the hidden financial narratives within helping professions.

Together, they explore:

• The “you’re not in it for the money” culture in social work and mental health
• Financial shame, burnout, and martyrdom in helping professions
• Gender, systemic inequities, and compensation disparities
• Why financial wellness is an ethical issue for clinicians
• How money impacts career sustainability, burnout, and access to opportunity
• Private practice, salary transparency, and wealth-building for social workers
• The role of systemic barriers, financial literacy, and advocacy in mental health professions
