Thrive Solo
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 The Thrive Solo Ladies - Part 1
In this week’s episode, I’m talking to five of my Thrive Solo members: Victoria, Lindsay, Maddie, Jess & Kriss.
In Part 1 of this ‘round table’ conversation, we delve into the topic of loneliness and find out how these women deal with feeling lonely.
They are all single and childfree.
Topics that we cover are:
- comparison, and the life we feel we should have had;
- how feelings of shame can go alongside loneliness;
- the importance of sitting with our feelings;
- the benefits of a having a good cry;
- how Friday evenings can be the worst;
- some strategies for coping with loneliness;
- getting ‘stuck’ in loneliness;
- how we become convinced that everyone is having a better time than us;
- noticing and accepting feelings of loneliness;
- the parts of our body where we physically feel loneliness;
- how breathwork can be incredible for reducing anxiety;
- how the research has shown that loneliness has a negative impact on our health;
- how loneliness doesn’t have to be a state of being - it’s just an emotion brought on by our thoughts;
- why we have to learn to connect with ourselves, and spend time with ourselves;
- how we do have agency over our feelings, and why we have to choose to shift our focus;
- how some of us still have moments of feeling sad about not having had kids;
- how not all women feel broody.
