Series 2 EP4: Lucy H. Pearce

In this rich and deeply thought-provoking episode, Julia speaks with bestselling author and publisher Lucy H. Pearce about what it means to reclaim women’s voices, creativity, and embodied experience. From discussing how Western culture has historically silenced women’s knowledge to founding her own publishing house, Womancraft, Lucy shares how her life and work challenge patriarchal norms and carve space for new ways of being. Together, they explore cycles, creativity, motherhood, identity, and the healing power of women’s circles. They also reflect on what it means to feel powerful after menopause, the role of mentors (met and unmet), and how personal transformation often begins with asking the right questions. This is a passionate, permission-giving conversation about the stories we tell, the ones we’ve lost, and the futures we can shape.
