Thrive Solo

By: Lucy Meggeson
Listen for free

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.

    The One Where I Talk To Men’s Life Coach, Carl Huelin
    Jul 14 2026

    I have actual man on my podcast today, and what a gorgeous man he is!

    Carl Huelin is 46, single, doesn’t have kids, lives on the island of Jersey and works as a men’s life coach, having completed burned out in the corporate world and deciding to change things up.

    I do urge you to listen to this conversation the whole way through because I think our conversation gets better and better, and Carl is just such a lovely, lovely man and I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed speaking to him. It’s always refreshing to get a guy’s perspective on things, especially one who actually works with men, and I’m sure that you’ll find so much of what he says really interesting to hear.

    In our conversation, Carl tells me all about the work he does with men including the different kinds of men’s groups he’s been a part of, as well as giving me his take on where men and women seems to go so wrong with each other. He also tells me about how he’s lost himself inside romantic relationships before, but how he’s now much more sure of who he is and what he wants if and when he does enter into another relationship. We talk about how so many of us are running on autopilot, we talk about doing the inner work, we talk about how he feels about not having had kids, and Carl tells me that Disney and fairytales also affect men, too. I just loved this conversation and I hope you will too.

  • Minisode Ep.217 — But What About The Things We Lose?

    Minisode Ep.217 — But What About The Things We Lose?
    Jul 11 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    On this week's minisode, I’m talking about something we don’t discuss enough: how much of ourselves we can lose in romantic relationships, even good ones. I explore the invisible cost of partnership — the habits, routines, freedom, focus, control and little personal preferences that can quietly get pushed aside when a relationship becomes the centre of your life. This isn’t about saying relationships are bad; it’s about being honest that they require compromise, energy and self-adjustment, and that women are often conditioned to sacrifice themselves for the “greater good” of the relationship. If you’re single, this is a reminder to appreciate what you currently have: space, autonomy, clarity, and the chance to stay deeply connected to yourself.

  • Thursday Thoughts — Finding The Joy In Life

    Thursday Thoughts — Finding The Joy In Life
    Jul 9 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    On today’s Thursday's Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about how important it is to find the joy in life, rather than being constantly weighed down by all of the ‘shoulds’.

    The truth is that life is short, and we sometimes forget to enjoy the ride. Instead of taking it all so seriously, let’s remember that we’re all travelling on a giant sphere hurtling through space - so we might as well enjoy it while we’re here!

    We hope you’ll find something useful in here.

    Love,
    Polly & Lucy x
