Made of Stardust Podcast

“Made of Stardust” is a podcast about people who (a)spire to (in)spire. Each one of our guests has a spirited spark to them that breathes life into the people they inspire.  We’re all made of stardust, so what is the stellar force that turns aspiration into inspiration? Burlesque Star and Vintage Showgirl Singer, Jolie Goodnight, interviews influential icons of their specific niches to dive deep into what it takes to inspire people, what are celestial catalysts for inspiration, and to cultivate a deeper understanding of what it really means to aspire and inspire. Because originally “inspire” meant “to give breath to.” “in·spire” Middle English enspire, from Old French inspirer, from Latin inspirare ‘breathe or blow into’ from in- ‘into’ + spirare ‘breathe’. The word was originally used of a divine or supernatural being, in the sense impart a truth or idea to someone. Now, more than ever, we can use some extra doses of that breath, that oxygen, that divinity that comes from the people who inspire us.

    Ginger Valentine and How Failing Leads to Excellence

    Y’all this interview is ON FIRE! I sat down a year ago with one of my favorite burlesque pals, Ginger Valentine, to have a spunky, fired up, real, honest talk about the highs and lows of burlesque, ADHD, and what happens when you show up extremely authentically. Ginger was one of the first friends I made when I started doing burlesque in Texas a billion years ago and I’ve been SO OVERJOYED her watching her flourish! When we did this interview a year ago (sorry y’all time is a funny creature) she had just been named NUMBER ONE in 21st Century Magazine’s Burlesque Top 50 list, and since then she was named #1 again! It’s been fabulous witnessing her become a mega inspirational figure with her Strip School a monthly online training program for burlesque, which is why I wanted to interview her for you! There are so many people wanting to learn burlesque and she’s a fantastic place to start! And with that, I give you to oh-so-made-of-stardust, Ginger Valentine.
