Pip Lincolne on heartbreak, wobbly routines and solitude

Prioritsing yourself isn't selfish, says writer, crafter and blogger behind Meet Me At Mikes, Pip Lincolne – but it sure can be difficult. In this conversation, Pip opens up about the difficult period she faced after the end of a 23-year-relationship – and the book it has since inspired, When Life Is Not Peachy. We delve into winding and twisting path Pip took to a creative career and writing books after she left high school in year eleven, but also feeling like an outsider, parenting and creativity, falling back into yourself, wobbly routines, social media and success, fitting in writing around a day job, solitude and resilience.Extraordinary Findings:– Read When Life Is Not Peachy by Pip Lincolne– Illustrator Gorkie– Sign up to Pip's 'Something good for the weekend' newsletter– Find Pip Lincolne on Facebook and Instagram or meetmeatmikes.com* * *Thank you for listening to Routines & Ruts, a labour of love fuelled by time and curiosity.
