Welcome to The Bliss Project Podcast! In today's episode, we chat with our friend, Psychotherapist, Author and Life Coach Sarah Brokaw. Like all worthwhile endeavors in life, the path to becoming a psychotherapist and certified coach was long, challenging and incredibly rewarding. They have shaped her into the effective practitioner she is today. After graduating from Duke University, she earned my master's in social work from New York University and her license in clinical social work in New York and California., She underwent eight years of specialized training in family and couple therapy at The Ackerman Institute a two-year postgraduate program at Fielding University, for personal coaching. She has completed the National Institute for Psychotherapies psychoanalytic year-long training and completed three levels of training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. She also completed two levels of training in Trauma Resiliency Model—at the Trauma Institute, and received specialized instruction in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy under Marsha Linehan, PhD, ABPP. A major highlight of her career was her time at Four Winds Hospital, where she worked with a team of psychiatrists, nurses, and mental health professionals to develop and implement the most effective inpatient treatment plan for a group of latency-age children residing there. Another significant moment was providing group therapy for individuals directly impacted by the 9/11 attacks. During the process of writing Fortytude, she was inspired by the remarkable women she met and launched a discussion series called Wise Women of LA. Women of diverse backgrounds met and supported one another in achieving major professional and personal goals. She also created Shared Secrets, a podcast amplifying the healing power of shared vulnerability. Her volunteer work has brought her to many amazing countries, including Rwanda, Bosnia and Haiti. She currently serves as a volunteer therapist for Homeboy Industries, which provides hope, training and support to formerly gang-involved and incarcerated men and women.

Kates desire to help women advance toward their goals motivated her to write Confidence Lost / Confidence Found: How to Reclaim the Unstoppable You. She has found that developing greater self-assurance empowers women to realize their dreams and to speak out about the changes that our society desperately needs."Kate McGuinness book is such an inspiration for so many people particularly women who have struggled and continue to struggle with accomplishing the impossible, PERFECTIONISM. McGuinness words wouldnt have such power, truth, and relatability had she not gone through her own struggles in life. Furthermore, Ms. McGuinness effectively conveys the message that when faced with adversity accompanied by shame or self-doubt, there is a way to recreate ones narrative with tools that she generously shares in her book. Must read!" - Sarah Brokaw, author Fortytude"No matter what your struggle, you will find a message here that moves and calms you and the tools to take the steps you need to lead a life of authentic self-assurance. I thought I had things pretty well figured outbut I have learned, and remembered, things from Kate that I know will make a difference." - Elizabeth H. Munnell, J.D.

I believe that education is a lifelong pursuit that occurs in and outside the classroom. I graduated from Duke University, earned a Masters in Social Work from New York University, and received my License in Clinical Social Work in both New York and California. But I didn’t stop there. I also received specialized training in working with families and couples from the esteemed Ackerman Institute, and finished a postgraduate program at Fielding University for Executive Coaching. Additionally, I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and have completed the National Institute for Psychotherapies psychoanalytic training. I also recently completed Levels 1, 2, and 3 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as specialized instruction in TRM (Trauma Resiliency Model), a mind-body approach for treating affairs and trauma. My professional experience includes therapy for latency-aged children at Four Winds Hospital and group therapy for individuals who either worked in the World Trade Center or were nearby during the 9/11 attacks. Inspired by the remarkable women I met while researching Fortytude, I launched a discussion series called Wise Women of LA in which women of diverse backgrounds could meet, share and support each other in achieving their professional and personal goals. Of course, women don’t have a monopoly on hard-won wisdom. So recently, I created a podcast series called Shared Secrets in which men and women with wisdom to share graciously let us in on their secrets. I hope these enlightening discussions empower you to share your own secret wisdom. My work to help men and women harness their internal power and pursue their goals continues in my volunteer work, which has taken me to locations including Rwanda, Bosnia and Haiti. I serve on the board of Equality Now, an organization whose aim is to end violence and discrimination against women around the world.
