S2 E6: Lucy Pearson

Hosting a podcast is a wonderful thing, not least because I regularly find myself talking to truly fascinating individuals who inspire me and open my eyes to what work can look like for women across the world.Lucy Pearson is testament to this. She is a freelance writer, a bibliotherapist (listen to find out what that is), a curator of libraries for hotels and a literary salon host. Her work is centred around books and words and her journey to this point has been anything but straightforward. In this interview Lucy shares honest and frank reflections on money, explains how her book blog eventually landed her a dream job at the Women’s Prize for Fiction and ends with recommendations for books I should read. It’s a seriously good listen!Do say hello and leave us a comment if any of this resonates with you.“There’s a special place in hell for gatekeepers who don’t share knowledge when they’re in a position to do so.” - Lucy PearsonLinks* Lucy Pearson’s Substack - The Literary Edit* Lucy’s website: thelitedit.com* Follow Lucy on Instagram @the_litedit * Sandwich by Catherine Newman* Places I Stopped On The Way Home by Meg FeeA note from the authorI’m aware that those in the thick of a career change, who have left a job or taken a pay cut, may not have the means to pay to listen and so the Creative Career Change podcast will always be free to all subscribers. I hope the conversations may inspire others to make changes in the way they approach their work in order to seek more balance in their life.Making this podcast is a labour of love and I do everything myself. This includes finding guests, writing questions, recording the conversation, editing, mixing, composing music and publishing the episode.By becoming a paid subscriber, you help to ensure I can continue to record new episodes and make the Creative Career Change podcast available to all who can be inspired by it. Alternatively, if you’d prefer to make a one-off contribution to the podcast you can buy me a coffee here. I’m hugely grateful for all and any contributions!Thank you.Hannah x This is a public episode.
