Voices of Emergence

What happens when the stories we grew up with no longer make sense?
In this episode, we sit down with Brendan Graham Dempsey—writer, poet, and cultural philosopher—to explore how we find meaning in uncertain times. Brendan shares his personal journey from losing faith to rebuilding a new relationship with spirituality, story, and culture.
We talk about:
  • How to face collapse without falling into despair
  • Why grief is a necessary step in any transformation
  • What role myth, art, and ritual still play in a modern world
  • And how new archetypes might be emerging to guide us
It’s a conversation about meaning-making, inner change, and the bigger picture of where we go from here—individually and collectively.
Whether you're questioning old beliefs, navigating a period of change, or just curious about where culture might be heading, this one’s for you.
