Send us a textThis week on Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I dive into a juicy conversation all about my brand new book Shiny Happy Singles — or Thrive Solo if you're tuning in from the US.We chat about the inspiration behind the book, what it really means to thrive on your own, and why this message is so needed.We also pull back the curtain on the creative process: the messy magic of writing, showing up consistently (even when it's hard), and trusting that clarity comes after you begin — not before.No waiting for the perfect moment or a lightning bolt of inspiration… just honest, step-by-step progress.If you’ve got a book inside you, a creative project on your heart, or a voice that’s been whispering “start”… this one’s for you.With love,Polly & Lucy xSupport 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 textIn this week's solo episode of Thrive Solo, I'm delving deep into the concept of manifestation. I'm sharing my own definition of manifestation, and highlighting its core components: energy, intention, focus, and aligned action. I'm also debunking some common misconceptions, as well as stressing the scientific underpinnings, such as the law of attraction, the law of vibration, and the observer effect. I'm giving you some practical advice on how to consciously manifest desired outcomes by shifting thoughts, focusing on positive energies, and taking decisive actions. Key takeaways include understanding the power of our thoughts and feelings, the importance of daily visualisation and meditation, and embodying the future self we aspire to be. I also encourage you to let go of the timing, and trust the process.00:00 Introduction: Embracing Singlehood02:20 Manifestation: The Basics08:01 Energy and Vibration18:46 The Science Behind Manifestation33:19 Practical Steps for Manifestation37:05 Conclusion and Call to ActionSupport 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 re-writing the script on single life.There is no doubt that we've all be conditioned to believe that being married with kids is 'superior' to being single without them. But the truth is that this is just a story, not a fact. In this episode, I talk about how the societal narrative has meant that the benefits of being single tend to go unnoticed; but WE can choose to focus on all of the wonderful advantages that our position in life affords us.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'?

Send us a textOn this week's Thursday's Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about perspective.The way we see and feel about life is largely about the lens we’re looking through - because two people with exactly the same circumstances can have two wildly different experiences of life.So the question is: how do we take off the negative glasses, and replace them with a more rosy pair? It starts with awareness, and making tiny shifts consistently over time.Polly and I talk about how we’ve both changed our perspective in recent years, and we share some tips that can make a real difference to how you perceive the world.We hope you’ll find something useful in here!Love,Polly & Lucy xSupport 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'?
