Thrive Solo: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Lucy Meggeson
Let’s be real — being single and child-free? It’s pretty damn awesome. Don’t believe me? Stick around. I promise you, by listening to this podcast, you’re going to start seeing your solo life in a whole new light — one that feels empowering, exciting, and full of possibility. I’m Lucy Meggeson, and I’m here to help you stop seeing singlehood as a consolation prize and start embracing it as the incredible opportunity that it is. Because the truth? Being single isn’t second best. It’s not a waiting room. And it sure as hell isn’t a life of lack. In fact, when you lean into it, it can be just as fulfilling—if not more so—than being coupled up with kids. And besides, no matter what our relationship status, what we all really want is to feel good in the here and now. So instead of focusing on what’s ‘missing,’ let’s focus on what’s possible. The freedom. The adventure. The extra time and headspace to create a life that’s truly our own. Because here’s the thing: you are so much more powerful than you realise. Your thoughts shape your reality. And when you shift your mindset, you shift your life. My mission isn’t just to help you feel better about being single—it’s to help you recognise your own agency. To help you see that you are the creator of your own experience. And that you, and you alone, get to decide what your life looks like. So join me here, and let’s build lives that feel joyful, meaningful, and wildly fulfilling — on our own terms. Let’s Thrive Solo …together.

The One Where I Talk To Career Counsellor & Coach, Carolyn Couch
Send us Fan Mail My guest on this week's guest episode is the gorgeous Carolyn Couch. Single, childfree by choice, 64 years old, and living in North Caroline, Carolyn is a career counsellor and coach. In this conversation, Carolyn and I talk about what it was like growing up in a small town in a southern US state where, even more so back then, it was very much expected that you would get married and have children. But Carolyn just knew that the traditional path was not for her and so sh...

Minisode Ep.213 — Energy Is The Real Wealth
Send us Fan Mail In this week's minisode, I’m talking about why energy — physical and mental — is the real currency of a good life, and why it matters even more when you’re single and running your life solo. I share how energy affects everything from your mood and motivation to your creativity and confidence, how we leak it without realising, and why the “boring” basics (sleep, movement, boundaries, nourishing inputs) are actually what create freedom. I also touch on energy from a law of attr...

Thursday Thoughts — What Radio Station Are You Tuning Into?

The One Where I Talk To Actor & Late Bloomer, Sophie Way
Send us Fan Mail My completely gorgeous guest this week is Sophie Way, a 27 year old actor who is both single and doesn’t have kids. This episode came about very quickly because Sophie has written and acted in her own short film — Expectations — and I wanted to get this episode out before the screening in case any of you can get yourselves there in person (all details in the episode). Sophie is not only single but she’s also a late bloomer, having never had a boyfriend, and it’s this that ins...

Minisode Ep.212 — Life Isn't Happening TO You, It's Happening THROUGH You
Send us Fan Mail In this minisode, I’m sharing one of the most life-changing mindset shifts I’ve learned: life isn’t happening to you — it’s happening through you. I talk about the difference between a “victim of circumstances” mindset and an empowered, self-responsible one, and how your thoughts, words, feelings and actions shape the reality you experience. If you’ve been feeling stuck, reactive or disempowered, this is a practical reminder to reclaim your agency, focus on what’s within your...

Thursday Thoughts — How Well Do You Know Yourself?
Send us Fan Mail On this week's Thursday's Thoughts, Polly and I are asking the question ‘How well do you know yourself? So many of us spend our lives reacting to what’s happening around us that we lose touch with what we actually need. We discuss what gives us energy, what drains us and the importance of living a life which is authentic to who we truly are. We hope you find something useful to you in here.

Minisode Ep.211 — You're Never Going To Feel Ready
Send us Fan Mail In this minisode I’m giving you a loving kick up the bum if you’ve been waiting to “feel ready” before you start the thing you know you want to do. I talk about why readiness is a myth, why motivation and clarity come from action (not the other way round), and how being single is actually a superpower because you have the space to build the life you want. I also share how I launched my podcast by picking a date and just getting scrappy and moving—proof that you don’t need the...
