Hosted by writer, editor and mandala art facilitator Sushma Tripathy, this show blends simple stories, practical insights and soulful reflections.

Most of us end our days scrolling, overthinking, or carrying unfinished emotions into sleep. In Episode 6 of The Creative Compass Podcast, I share a simple, grounding end-of-day reflection ritual that helps you pause, process, and gently reset. This episode blends mindful journaling, creative reflection, and lived experience — offering a small practice that brings clarity, calm, and emotional closure.
In this episode, host Sushma Tripathy introduces an easy daily reflection practice designed for busy minds and tired evenings. Drawing from mindfulness research, creative therapy principles, Indian cultural wisdom around sandhya (transition moments), and personal creative rituals, this episode shows how a few intentional minutes can improve emotional regulation, self-awareness, and creative clarity. Ideal for creators, writers, women entrepreneurs, or anyone seeking a calmer close to the day.
