Send us a textOn this week's minisode, I'm talking about why fancying potential partners is a non-negotiable for me when it comes to romantic relationships, despite those people who encourage single women to "give him a chance".Not to put too fine a point on it, but if I don't actually want to shag someone, then no amount of telling me I'm "too fussy" or that my "standards are too high" is going to convince me to date them.Press 'Play' and let me know what you think!

Send us a textOn this week's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about getting the damn thing done!September is a great time of year to check in with ourselves about where we are with our goals. There's still a significant amount of the year to go, but not so much that it feels overwhelming.So...what are those things you keep putting off, and how can you just get the damn thing done?!Polly and I discuss how to start taking action, including getting accountability, starting very, very small, and getting the hell out of our own way.We also talk about how we have to cultivate motivation by taking action, rather than waiting for the motivation to arrive before we take the action.We hope you'll find something helpful or interesting in here!Love,Polly & Lucy x Support the showPre-Order my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Download my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Answers To The Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?
