We all know the names—Eve, Jezebel, Sheba, Medusa.
But what if these weren’t just stories from the past... What if they’ve been shaping how we see women, power, and leadership all along?
In this episode of Sense-Making Conversations, Andrea Sampson sits down with Kadie Philp, the creator of The Garden of Even, a storytelling project that re-examines the origin myths we've inherited—and reclaims them.
Together, Andrea and Kadie explore:
How cultural myths quietly shape our systems and beliefs
Why female archetypes were rewritten as warnings
What changes when we tell the truth beneath the story
This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt the tension between who they are and who they were told to be. Because when we change the story, we don’t just change perception—we reshape possibility.
🎧 Stay through to the end for a powerful reflection on how to begin rewriting the narratives that no longer serve us.
