Not Another PD Podcast
Professional Development… Not Really and Done Differently.
Real conversations for practitioners doing demanding work.
Not Another PD is a podcast for people working in complex helping roles who are tired of surface-level conversations about wellbeing, boundaries, and burnout.
This is a space for honest, thoughtful conversations about what it’s actually like to do this work, and what genuinely helps you stay in it without losing yourself.
No jargon.
No pretending everything is fine.
Just real reflections, practical insights, and conversations that respect the complexity of your work.
You’ll Hear From
You’ll hear from people who are living this work every day, including:
Social workers
Psychologists
Counsellors
Youth workers
Disability and NDIS practitioners
Allied health professionals
Supervisors and team leaders
Coaches working closely with frontline professionals
These are people who understand burnout, unrealistic workloads, emotional labour, blurred boundaries, team pressures, and the quiet weight many practitioners carry.
What We Talk About
Each episode explores topics that practitioners regularly raise in supervision and reflective spaces, including:
Boundaries at work (and why they’re so hard to hold)
Emotional exhaustion and over-responsibility
People-pleasing and guilt in helping roles
Vicarious trauma and cumulative stress
Navigating complex systems without burning out
Identity shifts across career stages
Leadership pressures and team dynamics
Sustainable ways of working that don’t rely on self-sacrifice
These aren’t quick fixes or motivational talks.
They’re steady, grounded conversations about what actually supports practitioners over time.
