Send us a textSupport the showI’m excited to introduce my very first guest on Spinsterhood Reimagined, the fabulous Jo Good, a BBC Radio London presenter, actor and YouTuber. Jo is truly an example of someone who is happily single and childfree, and who unapologetically lives her life to the absolute fullest. She radiates joy, energy, authenticity, positivity and fun, and it was my absolute pleasure and honour to be able to spend time with her discussing all things spinsterhood. In this conversation, Jo and I cover an array of topics including how much we both love sleeping alone, her brief marriage in the 70s, meals for one, her dislike of sofas, electric blankets & hot water bottles, and being a ‘professional extrovert’. I hope that you guys enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it. Jo can be found on Instagram @middleagedminx, and on her YouTube Channel, MiddleAgedMinx, (which I highly recommend checking out), as well as on BBC Radio London Mon - Thurs at 22:00 and Sundays at 15:00.

Send us a textSupport the showThis week is another solo episode in which I talk about the topic of…being single!I reveal how I feel about being single, how I think it’s perceived and, of course, why I think it’s fabulous. Being a single woman is not second best to anything or anyone, and it is not a consolation prize. It does not mean that we’re lacking anything or that our lives are any less meaningful than anyone else’s. Being single is neither better, nor worse, than being in a relationship, and it is high time that it was normalised as such.There is a general assumption that as single women, our primary aim in life is to get a bloke at any cost, and this is not necessarily the case. Many of us are simply living our lives, and enjoying those lives, undistracted by thoughts of a boyfriend; because we have plenty of other things to occupy our minds are our time. We are single simply because we are, not because we have sworn off men or we can’t find a boyfriend. Our singleness should not always require an explanation, in exactly the same way that married woman aren’t required to explain why they’re married.Being single brings with it a multitude of benefits including freedom, independence, and a sense of excitement and anticipation about what may be around the corner, whether that comes in the form of a partner or any other wonderful opportunity that could be waiting for us.The main point is that a life alone is fabulous in and of itself, and it’s time it was recognised and acknowledged as such.Follow me on Instagram @spinsterhoodreimagined.Follow me on Twitter: @LucyMeggesonJoin my Private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=shareFeel free to either DM me on Instagram, or send me an email at  lucymeggeson@gmail.com.  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'?

Send us a textSupport the showWelcome to Episode 1 of Spinsterhood Reimagined!In this episode, I tell you a bit about why I’ve decided to do this podcast and what it’s all about.Spinsterhood Reimagined is a podcast for those of us who are tired of the stigma surrounding single and childless (I prefer childfree) women. It’s for those of us who know (and those of you who don’t yet know) that being a spinster is, actually, bloody fantastic. It’s the podcast in which we’re going to reclaim, redefine and reimagine the word ‘spinster’ to reflect the truth about women who - for whatever reason - have found themselves alone and without kids.Because the truth is - the big secret that no one seems to either realise or acknowledge - is that being alone and childfree rocks! It affords us freedom, time, possibility, potential and actual JOY if we choose to see it and embrace it. And I, for one, do just that.So there, I said it. And I’ll keep saying it over and over again in this podcast until the message has resonated across the globe! Because our lives are equally valid and equally valuable as anyone else’s, and it’s time they were normalised as such.The podcast also has another element to it in the form of conversations around personal growth. I’ll be talking about the things that I do on a regular basis to try and become the best version of myself. As spinsters, we have the advantage of time that we can use to become the people we want to be, living the lives we truly want to live.Join  me, every Tuesday, for episodes with either just me, or me with one of my fabulous guests.
