Welcome to Happy, Healthy, & Wealthy Therapists! I'm Dr. Amanda Buduris—a licensed psychologist, trauma therapist, and business coach for therapists—and in this trailer episode, I'm breaking down what these three words actually mean inside our profession.   I talk about why so many therapists only feel truly happy for a sliver of their week, how we preach self-care yet struggle to live it, and why expanding your definition of wealth is one of the most trauma-informed steps you can take for yourself and your clients.   If you're tired of burnout being treated like a job requirement… If you want your practice to support your life instead of consuming it… If you're ready to redefine what's possible for therapists—financially, emotionally, and professionally—then you're in exactly the right place.   This podcast is where I'll share the mindset shifts, marketing strategies, and honest conversations that helped me build a practice (and business) that finally feels sustainable, profitable, and aligned.   I'm so glad you're here. Let's build a life where you get to be happy, healthy, and wealthy—without guilt and without apology.   Make sure to hit follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode!
