S2E5: Sarah Buffie & Brad Wise - Abundance & Self-Care

Common Good Podcast is conversations at the intersection of place, belonging & remembering. The framework for the podcast is the relationship of Walter Brueggemann, Peter Block and John McKnight. In the fifth episode of the second season, Rabbi Miriam Terlinchamp speaks with Sarah Buffie and Brad Wise about abundance, trauma, and the need to care for one another and ourselves. Sarah Buffie MSW, LSW, founding director of Soul Bird Consulting (soulbirdconsulting.info), believes that nothing has the power to heal like supportive relationships. Specializing in trauma responsive care, she helps organizations and individuals disrupt current models of thinking by building empathy and understanding around the effects of trauma. Sarah has worked in community organizing- specifically, Asset Based Community Development, for over a decade and has a deep passion for her work. Her focus is to spread awareness about how trauma affects the brain and body, and teach effective approaches for developing resilience within the people organizations strive to serve, and the people closest to the work, caregivers and direct providers. Brad Wise is the Chief Creative officer at Rebel Pilgrim Creative Agency and Executive Director of Bespoken Live (bespokenlive.org). With a background in graphic design, Brad has made a career in visual storytelling on stage, page, and screen. He and his wife, Leah, have three kids under six years old and one wild hound dog.
