104: Change the systems that aren't working with Sarah Buino

Episode 104. "I will just reiterate to be kind to yourself and let's not continue to do grind culture right now. We don't have to be productive. And if you're not productive right now, you're doing it right." ~Sarah Buino, therapist, podcaster, speaker, founder Head/Heart Therapy Ready for some virtual therapy? Truthfully, I’m casting a side-eyed glance toward anyone who, at this point in the pandemic, answers, “Nah. I’m fine.”  And this is why I’m not a therapist. But returning guest Sarah Buino, LCSW, CADC, CDWF, is and she’s here to say it’s fine if you’re fine...for now. Whatever you need to do to support your mental health, to save your business, to care for your family, to get through these weird, exhausting days (weeks, months), is exactly what you should be doing.  As a fellow content creator and podcast royalty in her field, Sarah’s life on the other side of the mic hasn’t changed all that much. At Conversations With a Wounded Healer, she continues to connect with practitioners of various modalities, discussing the parallel paths of healing the self while caring for clients. As host of Transforming Trauma, a podcast produced by The NARM Training Institute, she finds no shortage of topics to explore within the world of complex trauma. As the owner of Head/Heart Therapy, however, Sarah’s on the frontlines of the tele-health battlefield.  Given the haphazard response to the pandemic by some of our institutions (looking at you, health insurance, banks), she’s cautiously optimistic that the masses will galvanize, especially around the subject of tele-health, and change is gonna bleepin’ come! Until then, how about some tips from Sarah for preserving our mental health and a delicious smoothie recipe?
