One of the beautiful things about this work is that I get to have conversations with people about their lives and the transitions that feel important to name in their own growing up experience.

I follow a conversational structure of checking in (name, intro and how we are arriving to each other today?), followed by two or three questions that we speak to, and completing our call together with a check out.

The recordings of these conversations are not grade A podcasts. They are recorded with people who may not have told their stories before like this. As a host, part of my practice is to receive their stories and ask questions that take us from the broad to the specific, or the more intimate.

One of the things I have realised is that these stories, and what will be a collection of stories soon, are artefacts of intergenerational learning and wisdom.

Maybe one person will listen. Maybe it will just be us having a conversation in the back our imagined favourite cafe. Either way, with each conversation comes some emergent wisdom and a deeper orientation to why this work is so important.

The link to the conversation is at the bottom of the page here https://www.jamiecolston.com/transitions

Enjoy.
