“Being on the edge is uncomfortable sometimes and you just have to stay your course whatever that is” - Lucy Peach
Our guest on today’s show has travelled the world talking about periods. Lucy Peach is the creator of the multi-award-winning Fringe show My Greatest Period Ever and the author of Period Queen.
But that’s not all — she has also won a WAMI Award, delivered TEDx talks, and created online training programs, school workshops, and retreats. She is literally my hero!
“Something that has always been a bit of a through line for me is if you’re doing something and you love it, and you’re having a good time then other people will enjoy it”- Lucy Peach
Today, we find out how on earth she became the Period Queen — PLUS we talk creativity, cycles, doing what you love, what to do in the quiet seasons, how to memorise your speeches, success, imposter syndrome, pre-show rituals, and SO MUCH MORE!!!
“I sort of have always thought if you kind of do the thing that feels good then that will bear fruit somehow at some point” - Lucy Peach
