Coffee and Contemplation was a long-form podcast created by Susan Dunlop as a space for thoughtful conversation, reflection, and curiosity about people’s lives, leadership, and lived experience.

Beginning as an experiment in simply starting before everything was clear, the podcast grew to almost eighty episodes, featuring women across different decades of life, leaders, educators, facilitators, and thinkers exploring the human side of growth, work, and meaning.

Over time, the conversations evolved alongside Susan’s own work, including deep listening, inquiry, and learning that would later inform both her writing and the creation of Blue Borage.

As Susan’s focus shifted toward facilitated Conversation Cafés and trauma-aware community spaces, the podcast was intentionally brought to a close. The conversations remain available on listening platforms as a record of that season of exploration and learning.

Coffee and Contemplation now sits as part of the wider Blue Borage body of work, reflecting a commitment to thoughtful dialogue, presence, and beginning before everything is perfectly formed.
