"After reading two chapters I picked up my paintbrush after ten years and began to paint again. I picked up a pen and began to write again. I had tried to reestablish my creative side many times previously but was unable to sustain it.

"I first heard Lucy Pearce’s message on the “Creative Living with Jamie” podcast. I was working in my home studio while my daughter was at pre-school. I stood rooted to the floor, scissors in hand, stock-still, as Lucy talked about this phenomenal thing called The Rainbow Mother. It was revolutionary.
Immediately I purchased The Rainbow Way and devoured it as soon as it arrived. It’s a game-changer.
I realized: There was a name for me and for the many, many women I knew who struggled with the “Creative Mama Syndrome” and the guilt and frustration that usually accompanies it. Finally, I thought, here is someone who gets me…someone who understands that creativity is not a luxury or an indulgence but a necessity to keep us Rainbow Mamas sane and functioning.
I felt like I had been granted permission to be myself. I found my tribe. It was a gift. Thank you, Lucy, for your work, your books and your message."

"I started your book last night, and I had a hard time putting it down.
I'm feeling a spark I haven't known in years bubbling to the surface- a drive that I buried. It's a feeling of recognition and relief that others feel this way, too.
It's fantastic! Thank you."

"If you are a mama who just wants a bit of time to herself to create, to make, to do, to sing, to dance, to just be and breathe and if you sometimes feel a little bit (or a lot bit) crazy and lost when you can't find that time then do, do, dooooo pick up a copy of The Rainbow Way by Lucy Pearce. I started it last night and by the end of the prologue I was hooked. Throughout the Introduction, my heart started hurting I was identifying so much and I really can't wait to bite into the rest of the book."

"It is so beautifully written and touches on so many questions. Although I'm not a mother, this gives me a whole new perspective on what is possible for motherhood. I have already picked up my old creative projects because of this book, it's easy to forget yourself in daily life and this is a practical and inspiring piece that encourages you to honour your own creativity. Love it!"

"I honestly felt like I had very few role models as a new mum who had found a peace and rhythm with getting their own creative needs met as they parented a small being. I judged myself for still wanting to create. I felt like I wasn’t a perfect mother because I felt like I was crumbling when I didn’t have time to myself each day. I turned into an empty shell of myself when I gave up who I was entirely because I thought that’s what it was to mother.
I’m so f***ing glad Lucy wrote this book. I know that she wrote it because she was told to. I know it was dictated from the heavens. I know it because I can feel it when I read her words.
When I got it, I consumed it whole within two days. I just couldn’t stop reading it. It felt like such a balm to my soul. I wish I’d had it at the beginning. I’m so glad it’s here now.
Recommended for: Mothers. Every single one of them. Seriously. I mean it."

"There's been a lot of tearful head-nodding as I work my way through this book. I'm fighting the urge to race through it too quickly, because I know that there is important soul-work to be done."

"Wow! What a book! It's huge! I mean the power of it! Its potential to transform lives - I can feel it! It's happening for me and I'm only few chapters in! I keep thinking of all the Mamas I know who will also love it, feel it, benefit from it!
I am half way through Chapter 6 and have been beaming and crying! Your voice, offerings, hand-holding, sharing, bringing together, the women's circle (I loved what your mother said - my tears were streaming!), your guidance, questions, permission! W O W! I am so full of thanks to you for this book!
Since I became a mother I have been trying to understand why I feel that as my daughter came into this life I have felt like I am on my way out! In what ways motherhood is a spiritual journey when I feel like a worse rather than better person. Why I am not the Earth Mother I thought I would be? THE CREATIVE RAINBOW MOTHER! - It's like looking into a mirror!
THANK YOU!"

"I ordered this book for my wife, since having our children her creativity has been stifled as she has devoted her time to being a mother. This book has re-energised her and re-ignited her creative spark, there is a twinkle back in her eye it is wonderful to see. A great buy."

"My creative drive has always been a powerful undercurrent in my life - ebbing and flowing through the births and early years of my three daughters.. I'm a perfectionist by nature and have always struggled with the competing internal pressure to be creative (it's who I am) and be a 'good' mother -there for my children, having a clean and tidy house, turning up at the school gates on time, with the right stuff on the right days...
This book offers a brilliant exploration of this tension, as well as of the creative process itself. By the last page,I felt totally empowered & inspired - plus I've stopped beating myself up quite as much!"
