Today I talk to Ellen Clarke who is a Life Transitions Coach. Ellen is also an Art Therapist, Emerging Death Doula and is in the third year of her Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Training.

We talk about the big rites of passage we have in our lives, both cultural and life stage rites of passage like ageing, death, divorce, motherhood and menopause. We wonder about how life might different for all of us if we had the support of community around us during these big transitions, to hold space for us when our own foundations are feeling a bit shaky and going through their own transformation. We ask questions about if we reframed some cultural transitions could they be easier?
