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.
ABOUT THE HOST
Lucie Burns has over 25 years of experience in the self-development and creative industries, working as a songwriter, music producer, author, coach, speaker, facilitator, and creative soul guide. She specialises in helping musicians and spiritual creatives uncover their purpose, overcome fears, and unlock their full artistic potential.
Lucie believes that to be truly happy and successful there must be a balance between mind, body and soul, a connection between awareness and responsibility and a deep desire to live life consciously and kindly, striving not only for the happiness of oneself but also for the happiness of others. This is a balance she always aims for in her personal and work life.
As an artist, Lucie is signed to Diventa Music under the name Lazy Hammock. She has written and produced 11 albums, achieving four No.1 spots in the Chill-Lounge charts. Her music has been licensed to TV and major labels, including Sony BMG, EMI, Hed Kandi, and Ministry of Sound.
Lucie is also the founder of Stage Ready Artists, coaching thousands of performers in stagecraft, confidence, songwriting, and artist development. She has appeared in two documentaries showcasing her work and is the bestselling author of The Art of Live Performance Unlocked and 15 Steps to Lasting Happiness.
Her latest project, Soul Call Sanctuary, is an inspiring, supportive, and sacred online space for women ready to awaken their creativity, honour their soul calling, and embrace their inner purpose. Whether they're rediscovering a creative spark, reigniting a passion after years away, or seeking inspiration in their craft, this community empowers, celebrates, and nurtures every step of their journey, helping them flourish creatively and holistically.
A practitioner of Nichiren Buddhism for over 20 years, Lucie combines her spiritual practice with Taoism, meditation, mindfulness, and time spent in nature—especially in the mountains—to inform her work and life philosophy.
Lucie’s mission is to uplift and inspire people through words and music, guiding them toward their own creative and personal transformation.
