Season 4 Bonus Episode: From MSW to LCSW: The California Licensing Maze

Host Ramon Sanchez gets candid about his personal journey to becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California. He dives into the state's complex licensing system, from what an MSW student goes through, to the challenges of becoming an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW) to the frustration of an exam process with no official study guide.

Ramon openly shares the emotional toll of his experience, including the hit to his self-esteem after having to take the licensing exam a staggering seven times. This is a story of resilience, perseverance, and ultimately, a powerful message for anyone navigating a difficult professional journey.
