Navigating Rites of Passage and Liminality with Amy Santee

Summary: Tatiana Vlahovic speaks with career strategist, Amy Santee, about navigating significant identity transitions in career and life, which Amy refers to as "rites of passage." They explore evolving career paths, movement toward identities more aligned with values and priorities, and the agency and permission to reinvent within liminal spaces, constraints, and systems. Takeaways: Rites of passage are transitions from one identity to another, and involve navigating the liminal space between the old and new identity.   Even within constraints and systems, we have agency (the ability to make choices) to craft careers that are closer to our priorities and values rather than the standard narratives and expectations we’ve been following. We’re not alone. Rites of passage and liminality are a common human experience across all societies and cultures.  Permission to reinvent and evolve oneself opens the ability to navigate liminal space.
