Diving into Writing Lucinda Pebre and Mariëlle Smith

Over the next couple of episodes, Lucinda and Mariëlle will be diving into the topic of Future Thinking and how it can benefit our creative lives. During this episode, Mariëlle will guide you into meditation to find out what you truly want so you can start working towards your truest desire today.







Here’s what came up during the episode:









* Lucinda is meeting her writing goals, including writing an hour a day when on holiday!







* Mariëlle and Lucinda talk about their vision boards and that it’s not necessarily about achieving what’s on your board but moving towards it







* When Mariëlle mentions it can be hard to get back to writing on Monday because she doesn’t write fiction on weekends, Lucinda throws Mariëlle’s own advice back at her by suggesting she doesn’t have to do the full hour…







* Properly schooled, Mariëlle then commits to at least looking at where she was in the story on Saturdays and Sundays so the story stays fresh in her mind







* After the meditation, Lucinda shares what came up for her during, which felt like the exact opposite of what she’d experienced last time – but was it? 









Next episode, Mariëlle will do one final Future Thinking meditation about where you truly want to in the future and how to get there.

Over the next couple of episodes, Lucinda and Mariëlle will be diving into the topic of Future Thinking and how it can benefit our creative lives. During this episode, they ask themselves whether it’s harder for women to see themselves in their full creative potential, and why that might be.







Here’s what came up during the episode:









* Why we, as women, put pressure on ourselves







* That both Lucinda and Mariëlle are very much still affected by how their mothers behaved as they grew up







* That being non-conformist does not mean you’re immune to external pressures







* That it takes time to unlearn the stories we tell ourselves about what women should and shouldn’t do and want, much to Lucinda’s chagrin







* How important it is to remember that having the freedom to achieve ANYthing does not mean we have to achieve EVERYthing, no matter how much society tries to convince us of this







* That, after this episode, Lucinda is no longer certain dogs are more than cats
