Season_2 - 173 - Sayida’s LCSW Comeback: Passed After 20 Years - Part 1

In this powerful episode, Sayida Farmer opens up about her 20-year journey to finally passing her LCSW exam. After failing the exam three times in the past by just five points total, Sayida faced major hurdles: severe test anxiety, sensory sensitivities, possible undiagnosed ADHD, and deep-rooted self-doubt.

She joined Journey To Licensure with the hope of finally breaking the cycle. With trauma-informed coaching, structured accountability, and emotional support, Sayida rebuilt her confidence and developed new ways to study that worked with her neurodivergent brain — not against it.

Listeners will learn:

• How Sayida’s mindset shifted after decades of academic trauma

• The coaching tools that helped her score higher on practice exams

• The emotional moment she realized she passed her official LCSW exam on June 6, 2025

• Why support, strategy, and believing in your growth make all the difference

Sayida’s story is not just about passing a test — it’s about reclaiming identity, building resilience, and proving that it’s never too late to succeed.
