The Niva J Podcast
nivajpodcast
Hello and welcome to The Niva J Podcast where I talk about current events and everyday life from my perspective as a Black Haitian woman and social worker. Joining me along this new podcast journey will be friends and family. I created this because I wanted to have a space to explore things in my life and share it with others. Please bear with me as this podcast world is new to me and it might not always go so smoothly.
Why Social Work?
Hello cool cats and kittens! Join some of my colleagues and I as we discuss why we became social workers, and bestow our wisdom upon future, current, and past social workers. And to all of you who haven't subjected yourself to social work, listen in just for our wisdom!

New Year, New Me
It’s a new year! That means here comes the pressure to become a “new me.” Have you ever made any New Year’s resolutions that seem out of reach and unfair? In this episode, I sit down with business owner and nutrition coach Janasa Livingston (@Janay.Livi and @LivEmpoweredFitness) as we talk about how we can be our own worst critics and how we have learned to embrace ourselves while still working towards our goals. Janasa also shares about her own health and fitness journey, as well as her business Liv Empowered Fitness.

Welcome to part two of Let’s Talk About Sex. Get ready for some not safe for work content.

You’ll hear us get very personal about how important communication is as well as all the insecurities and challenges that have come up for us all in different ways.
