Beyond the Blank Slate: Honoring Your Needs as a Highly Sensitive Therapist with Andie Whitaker

Today I chat with Andie Whitaker, a therapist and founder of Spiral Tending, to talk about what it's like to navigate money as a highly sensitive person in a world where we are increasingly losing worker’s rights. Andie shares how they're creating spaces for therapists to explore money through art and creativity, build community instead of competition, and challenge the fragmentation that keeps helping professionals from advocating for themselves.
