In this week's episode I am talking to the amazing Lucy Pearce who is an author, publisher and powerful advocate who aims to amplify female voices and create a publishing model that works for women. She shares with us how her intuition has steered her course throughout her life and how her outlook on her life has changed since discovering she is neurodiverse. She talks to us about how her updated editions of her books are written now through the lens of neurodiversity. She calls out patriarchy and the messages that we have been forced to accept as women over centuries and calls us all forward to make shifts away from these dominant and oppressive narratives. We also talk about the powerful space of women's circles and finding safe and supportive pockets of the internet. Lucy beautifully shares with us how it is possible to find a balance that works for her and her neurodiversity while at the same time making powerful changes in the world. I am so grateful to have her in my circle.
About Lucy:
Lucy H. Pearce is driven by a need to create, connect and inspire. A best-selling author, vibrant artist, respected publisher and editor, her work focuses on self-knowledge and healing through creativity, archetypes and cyclical living. She gives voice to the soul: the spiritual, the liminal, the darkness and discomfort and the magical in the midst of the mundane. Often described as raw, authentic and life-changing, her work encourages authentic paths to self-expression and is celebrated particularly by highly sensitive and neurodivergent women.
She is drawn to connecting with the seasons of the soul and world through her books, painting, digital art making, clay work, photography and seasonal spirals – made of pebbles, seaweed, leaves and more. She is ever drawn back to the circle and spiral and in her personal practice she loves circle dance, women’s ritual, sacred space and music.
Her award-winning books include: Burning Woman; Creatrix – she who makes; Moon Time; Medicine Woman and her most recent, She of the Sea. Lucy is the founder and creative director of Womancraft Publishing, established in 2014, which publishes life-changing, paradigm-shifting books by women, for women. She is the mother of three and lives on the south coast of Ireland.
