Why Has Tino Been MIA?

Welcome back to Black and Raww Podcast, I know I've been a bit MIA lately, but I promise there's a good reason. So, grab your headphones and settle in as I spill the tea on what's been happening in my world.   First things first, I graduated from social work last year and took a well-deserved year off. It's been an incredible year, and I can't wait to share more details in our upcoming yearly review episode.   Now, let's talk job hunting. I had my sights set on a specific local authority, and I was so confident in my skills that I didn't apply anywhere else. Crazy, right? Well, my mom thought so too, and she nudged me to broaden my horizons. Spoiler alert: it worked, and I'm excited to spill the tea on my first two weeks as a social worker.   In these reflections, I'll dish on why I chose this path, spill the deets on my amazing team (Christmas duo, anyone?), and share my experiences with the diverse group of colleagues, including unexpected Zimbabwean connections.   Life is all about duality, right? I've been contemplating this concept as I navigate the complexities of social work. From heartbreaking moments to making kids laugh, there's a unique joy in the sadness.   Surprisingly, I'm loving the job, despite its stressful reputation. Join me as I delve into the fears, nerves, and unexpected joys that come with being a social worker. And yes, I'll spill some tea on how this journey ties into my passion project, Black & Raww.   But wait, there's more! I'll also touch on Movember and how it's impacted my mental health. From a solid work routine to hitting the basketball court, I've found ways to keep my sanity intact. I spill the beans on my stress management tricks and how my morning routine is my secret weapon.   As we wrap up, I want to explain my recent podcast hiatus and reassure you that more episodes are on the way. Plus, if you're curious about my social work journey or just want to chat, hit me up on Insta, Twitter, TikTok, or shoot me an email.   Thanks for tuning in, and let's keep this conversation going!
