It's any one of us who works in a caring profession and is bravely doing their own work, while helping others. My goal is to share the parallel journey we as healers walk along with our clients and how we attend to our own humanity while caring for others. My podcast is about conversations and community building, what we can learn from each other, and how we can help heal each other. We're cultivating a space where we celebrate vulnerability, authenticity and \"showing up.\" It's a place to meet people I think will inspire you, help you heal and grow – and who you can relate to at the same time. I'm inspired by C.G. Jung's \"wounded healer\" concept, where the healer's own hurt that gives the measure of his own power to heal. Another one of my heroes, Brene Brown, puts it best: \"Mindfully practicing authenticity during our most soul-searching struggles is how we invite grace, joy and gratitude into our lives.\" Together, I hope this marriage of vulnerability and professionalism will inspire and entertain you...enjoy!","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/conversations-with-a-wounded-healer-682694"},"episode":{"title":"317 - Power Isn't the Problem—It's How We Use It with Francine Proulx-Kenzle","slug":"317-power-isn-t-the-problem-it-s-how-we-use-it-with-francine-proulx-kenzle","published_at":"2026-05-06T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/conversations-with-a-wounded-healer-682694/317-power-isn-t-the-problem-it-s-how-we-use-it-with-francine-proulx-kenzle","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/conversations-with-a-wounded-healer-682694","url":"https://headheartbiztherapy.com/podcast","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/convoswithawoundedhealer/317_317_-_Power_Isn_t_the_ProblemIt_s_How_We_Use_It_with_Francine_Proulx-Kenzie.mp3?dest-id=671880","summary":"What if power isn't something to avoid—but something to learn? Francine Proulx-Kenzle and Sarah Buino explore sociocracy, personal power, burnout, and how early childhood experiences shape the way we show up in systems. I'm going to say something that might make a few therapists squirm: power is not the enemy. And yet… so many of us act like it is. In this conversation with Francine Proulx-Kenzle, I kept coming back to a core truth that I think we—especially in the therapy world—need to hear again and again: power simply exists. What matters is how we relate to it. Key takeaways from this episode: Power isn't something you have or don't have—it's something you learn to use Avoiding power often leads to recreating the same harmful dynamics Burnout is often a sign of disconnection from your own needs and agency Systems like sociocracy show us what shared, humane power can look like Healing isn't about becoming perfect—it's about staying in relationship with your humanity If there's one thing I want you to take from this conversation, it's this: you don't have to reject power to be a good person. You just have to learn how to use it differently. And that work starts with you. Join The Therapist Network and receive 20% off your subscription tier when you enter the code SARAHROCKS.
