Samantha Holdsworth is the Founder and CEO of Clowns Without Borders UK, an international humanitarian charity that delivers joy and play to children living in refugee and displacement camps. As a Facilitator, Clown and Producer, Sam has devised and delivered countless community-based and arts-led projects around the world. She is passionate about the arts as a catalyst for social change.
In this episode, we talk about stepping into your power at 40, setting up an international humanitarian charity single handed, creating a safe space for women to play in crisis zones, and navigating orgasms, presence and the impulse to burn all our existing systems of governance down to the ground, in a post-birth body.
