The Becoming Podcast | Season 3; Episode 2 | Britta Bushnell on what we can learn about radical transformation from birth, how life changes affect intimate partnerships + the collective cultural rite

In this conversation, author, mythologist and childbirth educator Britta Bushnell and I talk about the domino effect that radical transformation tends to have in our lives, and how we often end up experiencing shifts and changes to many areas of our lives rather than only one.  Specifically, we dive into the experience of how to re-negotiate our intimate partnerships in the wake of major transformation - one of Britta's specialties.  Britta also shares wisdom about how to meet your needs and re-parent yourself in times of radical change.  We talk about what Britta has learned from supporting birthing people that can be applied to all rites of passage, and then we traverse into eight cultural ideals that influence birth, exploring how these are actually phenomena that deeply influence our entire culture, and might just represent the collective rite of passage of our times.
