Trauma & Finances

Welcome, it’s so nice to meet you.

Trauma & Finances was founded by Sarah Mendivel (a.k.a. Everyday Empath) with you in mind. With over 15 years experience in the field of trauma, and recent author of Sam’s Theory, Sarah began to also recognize the significance of how trauma impacts personal decision-making in regards to finances. As a Masters-level pediatric milieu therapist on the inpatient psychiatric unit, Sarah has worked with hundreds of children and teens burdened by trauma. She was the founder and editor-in-chief of Light Spinner Quarterly, a publication that advocated for children exposed to medical trauma and her story 150 Real-Life Stories of Resilience, Joy, and Hope was published in Reader's Digest. These roles offered the opportunity to advocate for children by speaking nationally at conferences, colleges, and in the media.
