The MOOD Podcast

Diana Darling is an acclaimed writer and author who has spent over 40 years living in Bali. Her work is deeply influenced by Balinese culture and mythology, blending Eastern and Western perspectives in her art and writing.
During our conversation, Diana shared the inspiration behind her novel 'The Painted Alphabet', where Balinese mythology intertwines with contemporary storytelling, providing unique perspectives on spirituality and death influenced by her experiences in both Western and Asian cultures.
Some other things we discuss were: rituals that surround death in other cultures, the meaning of life and death, how storytelling can transform opinions and inspirations, tips for how to get into writing and navigate the world of publishing and media.
