The Clearing, The Woods, The Path.....sounds like a new M. Night Shyamalan movie, but mid life transitions shouldn't be that scary.
Once they fix the tech issues, Rebecca and Lana get right into it with psychotherapist, Kate Hilton. In this episode they discuss career & life changes, transferrable skills, safe risks and taking that first step outside the clearing.
Kate Hilton is an expert on the essential role of creativity in mental health, and on the power and process of life transitions. She is a Registered Psychotherapist and neuroscience-based Creativity Coach working primarily in the area of transformational change. She is interested in how we shift in our understanding of identity as we pass through different life stages, and how we can get stuck in old stories about who we are.
Kate is also a bestselling author of 4 novels, The Hole in the Middle, Just Like Family, Better Luck Next Time, and the recently released Bury the Lead, co-authored with Elizabeth Renzetti. Kate maintains an active creative practice.
