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.

In this conversation, artist and activist Sorcha O'Higgins reflects on the experiences that shaped her political consciousness, from London to Argentina to rural Mayo, and how choosing differently has transformed the way she works, creates and shows up in her community.

Together, we explore creativity, capitalism, agency, making art alongside a day job, holding contradiction, why community matters, and the quiet courage of building a life around what you truly value.

This isn't a conversation about having all the answers.

It's a conversation about remembering that another way is possible.

Sorcha O'Higgins is an artist living in Mayo, Ireland. She's passionate about freedom and equality for everyone, everywhere, and believes that politics is central to that (within the current systems we have, anyway). She's the chair of the Mayo branch of the Social Democrats, and wants to promote positivity, and real opportunities for the public good of social democracy. She loves Catherine Connolly, Zohran Mamdani and David Bowie, and is currently obsessed with Heated Rivalry.
