Hi, I’m Brandi 👋
Professionally, I’m a Chief of Staff who partners with visionary leaders to build organizations that serve life.
At my core, I’m simply a fellow earthling who cares deeply about the well-being of people, animals, and the planet we share.
I’m grateful that our paths have crossed 🖤
A Time Between Worlds
As the reality of the metacrisis becomes more apparent, it’s no surprise that many people feel overwhelmed, anxious, and uncertain about the future. Most people can sense that something feels “off”.
We like to comfort ourselves by imagining that we are too smart and technologically advanced for society to collapse. But, for many people around the world, collapse is already happening.
It’s true that life today is better in many ways than it was 500 years ago. But in chasing our narrow idea of progress, there has been an enormous cost to our earth and all beings that live here.
We are now faced with a convergence of truly catastrophic crises, from dying oceans, to depleted soil, to deteriorating mental and physical health, to record level species extinction, among others. We are swimming in a toxic soup, both literally and figuratively.
I believe that somewhere deep down, beneath our conditioning, and denial, and coping mechanisms, most of us know this isn’t the path forward. If we want our civilization to continue, it simply can’t be.
But acknowledging the need for change would mean letting go of everything we have built our lives around, and there is grief and fear in that. It’s difficult to imagine things being different when this is all we’ve ever known.
I hesitate to use the word awakening because it’s so cliche, but I’ve observed something interesting emerging in our shared consciousness. There is a growing awareness of issues related to the polycrisis. But, more than that, I’m sensing some sort of renaissance within our hearts and minds.
Inspired by Daniel Schmachtenberger’s concept of the Third Attractor, Third Path isn’t a solution. Rather, you’ll find an eclectic mix of the ideas that have helped me formulate more coherence around what is happening in the world and what my role is in all of this.
I’ve poured my heart out on these pages because it was only through reading the raw and unfiltered stories of others that I was able to make sense of my own.
I hope you’ll find something here that comforts, inspires, or empowers you in some small way, as so many others have done for me.
