The Singing Buddha Podcast
'An audio sanctuary sharing nuggets of creative, transformative and spiritual wisdom to uplift and inspire.' Hosted by Lucie Burns, author, musician, coach and speaker, also known as the artist, songwriter and music producer 'Lazy Hammock. 'In these episodes Lucie delivers her inspiring and thought provoking nuggets of wisdom, delving into all aspects of being a spiritual creative. She looks at what inspires us, connects us, affects us, grounds us, hinders us, makes us and breaks us, and explores various methods in which we can tap into our limitless potential so that we are able to become our best selves, not only creatively, but also mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually, enabling us to navigate our lives and emotions in a more balanced and grounded way within this world, whilst endeavouring to remain true to our core, creative selves. Listen in to either start or continue on your journey of awareness, expansion and creativity, stepping into your own rhythm and unique flow, learning to let go, allow and just be, hopefully resulting in a deeper connection to yourself, your craft and the wider universe. / MUSIC: Written and produced by Lazy Hammock (Lucie Burns) /E: thesingingbuddhapodcast@gmail.com / WEBSITE: lucieburns.com /SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://paypal.me/lucieburnscoaching

Ep.38 2025 It's Now or Never – What Do You Have To Lose?
As we step into a brand-new year, it’s time to stop putting your dreams on hold. In this episode, I share the highs and lows of my year, including the challenges I faced finishing and publishing my book—obstacles that had nothing to do with the actual writing. These experiences taught me the power of persistence and belief in my vision.
If you’ve been keeping a project or goal on the backburner, whether it’s big or small, this is your sign to start. What do you have to lose? Let this be the year you say YES to yourself and your creativity. Tune in for a dose of motivation to take that first step and make this your year of action.
