Thrive Solo
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 every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and let’s build lives that feel joyful, meaningful, and wildly fulfilling — on our own terms.Let’s Thrive Solo…together.E-mail me at lucy@lucymeggeson.com

Minisode Ep.71 - Peace, Man
Send us a textSupport the showOn today's minisode, I'm talking about the peace that comes with living alone.As single, childfree women, we are in the fortunate position of not having to deal with the moods and emotions of either a partner or children in our day to day home lives. But because most of the world is busy celebrating the 'traditional' way of life, the benefits of being the only human in your living space are rarely celebrated in the same way, if at all.There is much to be said for not having to deal with a screaming toddler, a moody teenager, or an argumentative partner. Instead, we get to revel in the peace and calm of a household just for one. Heaven.

Minisode Ep.70 - Do You Want To Be Right, Or Do You Want To Be Happy?
Send us a textSupport the showOn today's minisode I talk about the choice we have between being right, and being happy.So often our ego selves are just dying to be right. Even when it's something insignificant, something that really doesn't matter, our ego is always itching to prove its point.But more often than not, needing to be right or prove our point leads to stress, conflict and discomfort which, quite frankly, we could do without. Our higher self, on the other hand, just wants to be at peace and really couldn't care less about winning the argument. So what might happen if we chose peace and happiness over being 'right'? What if we chose kindness over getting the upper hand?Press 'Play' to hear more!

The One Where I Talk About Seeing An Ex
Send us a textSupport the showOn this week's episode, I'm talking about the day I met up with an ex-boyfriend about a year ago. This is probably my most vulnerable episode yet, and it was actually recorded at the end of the day we spent together. However I sounded so emotional when I listened back to it that I decided not to put it out at the time. But here we are, just over a year later, and I thought "Screw it". So brace yourselves.
