Conversation - The Power in Turbulent Times with James Philipp

In this episode of The Makaranda Podcast, Eleanor sits down with her dear friend, James Philipp, also known as The Turbulence Coach. James is a Certified Integral Coach®, Grief Educator, and Trauma-Informed Somatics Practitioner who helps people navigate life’s shaky transitions and build better support systems for those experiencing grief. Through coaching, courses, and community, he supports people in uncovering the magic within change—especially in times of loss, uncertainty, and transformation.

Together, they explore how to navigate shaky transitions with grace, using breathwork, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed practices. James shares a powerful meditation using the Ujjayi breath, guiding listeners to embrace impermanence like ocean waves—rising and falling, ebbing and flowing. They discuss how breaking free from autopilot patterns can unlock new possibilities and reveal our true selves.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your comfort zone or struggled to navigate unexpected change, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered to find peace within uncertainty and embrace the breaks in life’s system.

Tune in to learn how to turn turbulence into transformation and discover the beauty of impermanence.
