Show Notes
In this powerful episode of the Goddesses of Social Work podcast, we sit down with Christie Ackmann, LCSW, whose approach to healing weaves together mindfulness, compassion, and deep social awareness. Christie shares her personal and professional journey, reflecting on how Buddhist philosophy informs her practice and how it has helped her reframe the way we understand suffering and mental health.
We explore the complex intersection of mental illness vs. social illness, examining how systems of oppression, disconnection, and cultural narratives can shape what we pathologize — and what we ignore. Christie also offers rich insight on the importance of belonging in the healing process, and how cultivating connection can be one of the most radical tools in our social work toolbox.
