This one has all the hallmarks of those "very special episodes" from TV days gone by. Awesome guest? Check. Witty banter? Check. A lesson on the power of vulnerability? Check.

When you step into a big project or a big pivot, you've got to carve out some space, time and energy. Meet Sarah Buino who has been doing just that. Sarah had a very full time job as a group practice owner with 12 staff people, and knew there was something else she was meant to do with healers on a larger scale. She talked to me about how she set her group practice up to require much less of her so that she could step into this new work without overworking or burning out. Here's a bit more about her: Sarah Buino, LCSW, RDDP, CADC, CDWF is a speaker, teacher, therapist and the founder and president of Head/Heart Therapy, Inc. She's a member of the adjunct faculty at Loyola University Chicago and hosts the podcast Conversations With a Wounded Healer, which examines the role of one's own healing while being a care-giving professional. Sarah is obsessed with her 10-lb chihuahua named Batman. Here's some of what we talked about: Building Head Heart Therapy, a therapy center for weirdos with a staff of 12 Hosting 2 podcasts and making that manageable Podcasting tools Sarah and Annie both use Figuring out what she needs to do less of so that she can create new things Finding her role as a mentor with her staff Moving into the work of helping therapists and therapy organizations Balancing her agenda with responding to what's happening in her organization Managing different people differently Creating The Ordinary Trauma Project and writing a book Taking a month-long sabbatical to make progress on the book Emotionally preparing for the publication Here are some takeaways that particularly stand out to me: Takeaway #1: Sarah has built a team and handed over the day-to-day of the group practice so that she can step into her life's work of helping therapists heal. "What I want to do is help therapists heal and I can't help my staff heal because I'm their boss. And so there's a place that I love mentoring and I love supervising, but it's not the same as helping them heal. And so throughout the sabbatical, I was really thinking: how is it that I can create space to make this shift so that I can really step into what I truly think is my life's work." Takeaway #2: You've got to carve out time and energy to work on new projects. You can't necessarily just pile them onto what you've already got going on. Sarah took a month-long sabbatical to focus on her book. "I could wake up and be like, what do I want to do? What time do I want to start writing today? Right. What chapter do I want to work on today? So. Yeah. So I took a month to focus on the book." Takeaway #3: In addition to carving out time and energy for a big project, we've got to gather enough permission and safety. When we do brave and visible things and ask more of ourselves, we need to set up more support because it's hard and it's vulnerable. "(When the book comes out) I think it will be an extended period of wrapping myself in love and comfort and care, and definitely not reading reviews."

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!

What is irreverent growth? How do you get help for mental health when you aren't a part of the "just be positive and say affirmations" crowd? How do you find your peeps that will go deep with you and not be afraid of catching "negative cooties"?

Therapy with a twist of irreverence is sorely needed in today's world. Balancing our head/heart connection by diving into the depths of our souls while simultaneously laughing our asses off takes some deep work. We won't call it being fearless. We all have fear. It's just owning the uncomfortable within, feeling that fear, and diving in anyway. Enter Sarah Buino and her podcast Confessions of a Wounded Healer, newly added to Mental Health News Radio Network.Join she and your host Kristin Sunanta Walker for those conversations we love - no holds barred. Sarah Buino, LCSW, CADC, CDWF founded Head/Heart Therapy, Inc. in 2014. After working for several years at respected social service agencies around Chicago, Sarah envisioned creating a new group practice that would be a welcoming place where clients can feel free to show up authentically and creatively however they so desire. Head/Heart’s vision is a reflection of Sarah’s own philosophy and personal experiences of living a rich, examined and sometimes untraditional life outside the box. Head/Heart Therapy’s name even comes from a tattoo Sarah has on her right arm as it serves as a constant reminder of Sarah’s approach to therapy – finding the key to connect the head to the heart. Years later, as Sarah was cleaning out some old files, she found her notes from Brené Brown’s Connections training in 2012 where she’d written “head/heart” across the top of one of the pages. Clearly, Head/Heart Therapy was meant to be.www.headhearttherapy.com

"If I'm willing to take a new definition of vulnerability and recognize it as 'This is part of the human condition; everyone is vulnerable to something, and no one leaves this world unscathed in some way.' If I'm willing to look at it that way, I have more of a chance to empower myself and to help myself, rather than to just stay stuck." Sarah Buino is a Chicago based therapist and founder and president of Head/Heart Therapy, a group practice that specializes in addiction, shame and complementary healing modalities. In this interview we discuss the concept of sexual abuse on the energetic level and the nuances of sexual trauma, as well as its relationship to addiction. She also shares hope for healing in discussing the approach of finding the ease in the "dis-ease" and the importance of vulnerability and empathy as the antidotes to shame. --------------------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE to the show to be the first to hear about new episodes!

"Our baseline isn't happiness, our baseline is contentment.. We have to actively seek happiness." ~Sarah Buino Connection is the only way through all of this... What if we could stop talking to ourselves like a jerk? What if we could give up shame completely? What if happiness was only a perspective shift away? In this episode, I'm talking with licensed clinical social worker, certified addictions counselor and Certified Daring WayTM (that's Brene Brown's program!) facilitator, Sarah Buino of Head/Heart Therapy all about: Sarah's struggle with impostor syndrome & shame How did Sarah get into her work, specifically with addiction counseling Why Sarah calls herself a “joy pusher” and “empathy snob” How does Sarah keep herself moving forward Happiness vs. contentment How to shift perspective Using music as therapy How to stop talking to yourself as though you're an a*@hole! What Sarah is excited about! CONNECTION Best advice for mental health from Sarah “Everybody's crazy, everyone. Including me. And anybody who says they're not crazy- run. Because they're the craziest of them all.” ~Sarah Buino Resources & Links As far as holiday self-care for mental health and shame here are a couple of things from Sarah: Take breaks. Lots of time with family can be intense, so make sure there's down time.  Pick your battles. There's still likely to be discord in politically diverse families and while we all must remain diligent in our social justice quests, conservative Uncle Joe probably won't change his mind because of that one fact you share. People don't respond to facts anyway...they respond to feelings.  Be mindful. Family can push our buttons more fiercely and quickly than anyone else and shame is often one of the strong emotions that gets kicked up by our nearest and dearest. Shame wants us to either fight, flee or people-please, so when you feel those urges coming on, take a time out!  Reach out. When you do experience shame, the best thing to do is connect with someone who can understand.  The Season of You: Self-Care Holiday Gift Bundle* - digital gifts including meditation, prompts, recipes, a scavenger hunt and more from some of my creative colleagues!
