E212: Thriving Solo: Why Successful Women Are Choosing Single, Childfree Lives — And Loving It! with Lucy Meggeson

What if being single and childfree wasn’t a consolation prize—but a portal to deep peace, freedom, and joy? In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by the vibrant and wonderful Lucy Meggeson—host of the Thrive Solo podcast and author of the book by the same name (or Shiny Happy Singles if you're in the UK). Together, we explore the liberation, sovereignty, and delight that come from embracing a solo path.

Lucy opens up about the moment she realized that singlehood was not just her circumstance—it was her choice and her joy. We unpack the outdated societal narratives that equate coupledom with success and lovingly challenge the stigma around choosing solitude. From reclaiming the word “selfish” to transmuting sexual energy into creative power, this episode is a bold manifesto for living life on your own terms.

What we explore:

• Joyfully single is not an oxymoron—it’s a lifestyle, a choice, and a liberation.
• Reclaiming “selfish” as self-honoring and soul-serving.
• Solitude fosters emotional regulation, clarity, and inner peace.
• The myth of the “less than” single woman must be dismantled.
• Sex, or the lack thereof, can be a channel for profound creative expression.
