Send us a textOn today's minisode, I'm talking all about starting over, starting again, or finally starting that thing you've always wanted to do.We are often led to believe that once you get to a certain age, or a certain stage in life, that it would be foolish, or embarrassing, or even pointless to start all over again. I, for one, do not believe this to be the case.Even if the people around us think we're crazy, and even if we're scared, it is more than  possible to take the leap and make a fresh start. What is crazier and scarier is to continue living a life that feels mediocre. And we don't need to know exactly what it'll look like, how it'll pan out, or even how we're going to go about it; we just need to start, because clarity comes through action. So many of the best things in life appear on the other side of uncertainty. So what are you waiting for? It's never too late to start over.   Support the showOrder 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'?

Send us a textToday's episode is a solo one where I'm talking about being single at Christmas - and a couple of other random things. I talk about some of the reasons why it's great to be single at Christmas, as well as a couple of things we can do to feel better about our solo Christmas. I also talk about why Christmas as a single woman does not have to be any less fun or less lovely than Christmas as part of a couple.Finally, I share my thoughts on the changing narrative around singlehood, and why I believe there is a shift in consciousness around women on their own. I hope you find something in here that is useful.Happy Christmas! xxxSupport the showOrder 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'?

Send us a textOn today’s Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about self-love.From learning to accept all parts of ourselves, having the courage to get out of a bad situation, or refusing to dumb down the parts of ourselves that are ‘too much’, self love is more important than we might realise.

Send us a textIn this week’s episode, I’m talking to the very cool and very awesome, Jayne Archer.Jayne works in the field of mental health, specifically children and young people, and has done so for 20 years. She also has her own small business called Grow In Your Own Direction, in which she offers counselling and coaching for people who are looking for meaning, direction, or purpose in their lives, including single, childfree women. She has been single for 10 years, and lives alone in Bristol.Topics that Jayne & I cover are:how her journey of being single and childfree has been full of twists and turns;how she grew up with two conflicting female role models in her life, and how this caused her confusion in terms of what she wanted for herself;how Jayne always knew that she didn’t want kids or a ‘traditional’ life;her love of music and how that and the community around it helped her to feel a sense of self for many years;feeling as though she was an outsider whilst all of her peers were getting married and having babies;how she’s always found her sense of belonging and ‘forward motion’ through her career in mental health;being in and out of relationships since her teens, and how a part of her wanted to be with somebody;how the end of her most recent relationship was the catalyst for Jayne to focus inwards and work on building the relationship with herself;how she quit online dating, and how that allowed her to let go of any control or time frame around any future relationship;whether or not Jayne feels she is the best version of herself when she’s alone;Jayne’s experience of living in a spiritual community;what spirituality means to Jayne, and how it can look very different for different people;why Jayne feels so strongly that there shouldn’t be any shame in admitting to feeling lonely;how being single and childfree gives us an opportunity to cultivate intergenerational friendships, and how Jayne truly loves having those relationships in her life;our shadow selves, and how to confront those darker parts of us;Jayne’s thoughts on the possibility of being single forever;why living a simple life is equally valid if you’re single and childfree.Check out Jane’s website:www.growinyourowndirection.co.ukEmail Jayne:growinyourowndirection@gmail.com Support the showOrder 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'?

Send us a textOn today's minisode, I'm talking about the power of consistency.We sometimes overlook how much can be achieved by taking small steps...consistently. It’s not about the grand, sweeping actions, but the tiny little things that we do over and over again that create the big wins. It’s not about the scope of what we do, it’s about the consistency with which we do it.Press 'Play' and let me know what you think!Support the showOrder 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'?
