STARDUST AND COURAGE PODCAST

Creative energy to go deeper, grow and imagine
Stardust and Courage is the podcast where we use writing, curiosity, intuition and imagination to see beyond challenges and make life more meaningful. Discover the power of self-expression when you write and create with stardust and courage.
Season two (2025) is about creative energy and using your intuition to write and create in flow. I'm talking to fascinating guests and sharing what I've learned about igniting the creative spirit.
Season one (2024) focused on mindful writing, with inspiring guided meditations and interviews.
I’m your host, Suzanne Alyssa Andrew and I welcome you here whether you’re a seasoned creative professional or you're reviving a creative practice from childhood. If you want to be inspired, deepen and grow you’re in the right place. So get comfortable, and listen in!

Season one: What is mindful writing?
There are different definitions for mindful writing. My methodology combines three elements:
-
GO DEEPER: The creative spirit (or if you prefer, Eckhart Tolle’s presence or Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic)
-
GROW: The drive to understand the human experience via personal development and psychology
-
IMAGINE: Creative writing across all genres and forms, including fiction, prose, poetry, song writing, play writing, screenplay writing, essays, journaling and free flow writing
It’s also an invitation to slow down and luxuriate in the writing process, where all the energy and fun is. Write with me to find out what happens when we drop the ego (hustling, performing and proving) and create from wisdom, play, purpose and generosity instead.
