Social work is often described as planting seeds of change, nurturing growth, and helping people flourish in difficult conditions. But if social work were a flower, it would undoubtedly be a sunflower—strong, resilient, and always seeking the light.

I’m a little late in sharing this reflection—because life happens, and self-care matters. As social workers, we emphasise the importance of balance, yet we often need reminders to practice what we preach! January was a month of growth, challenges, and meaningful connections, reinforcing why social work is not just a profession but a calling.

As the sun sets on 2024, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey this year has been for Let's Reseed. Starting a private practice as a social worker felt like planting a seed in unknown soil – equal parts excitement and uncertainty.
