The world feels heavy.
But all around us, people are already building something different.
GLIMMERS of Another Way of Being is a podcast about stories of grounded hope in a time of collapse.
Hosted by leadership coach and community facilitator Stephanie MacKinnon, each episode is a conversation with people who are choosing a different path—through art, community, politics, food, education, care, activism and countless other acts of everyday courage.
Together, we explore what becomes possible when we loosen the grip of the systems we've inherited and begin creating lives rooted in connection, justice and collective care.
Because another way of being isn't just possible, it's already happening.

Another Way Is Already Here: Reflections on Season One of Glimmers
For the first time on Glimmers of Another Way of Being, it’s just me. In this solo episode, I’m looking back at what I’m lovingly calling the first season of the podcast: why I started it, what these conversations have reminded me about change, leadership and community, and what I want to carry forward from here. Because one of the things I keep coming back to is this: We do not need to have the whole alternative figured out before we start living differently. So much of change is more ordina...

Art, Politics & the Spaces in Between with Sorcha O'Higgins
What happens when we stop assuming there is only one way to live?
