  • Thursday Thoughts — Lessons From A Holiday
    Send us a textOn this week’s Thursday's Thoughts, Polly and I are talking all things holidays.I’ve just come back from a wonderful two-week break in Turkey — and yes, it was wonderful.But we’re also diving into something a little deeper… What does it mean if the only time you feel truly relaxed, calm or happy is when you’re away?Holidays are a beautiful reset, a chance to switch off, change the scenery, and reconnect, but the real magic? It lies in creating a life you don’t constantly need a break from. Because ultimately, aren’t we all just searching for more calm, joy, and lightness in our everyday lives?So the question becomes: how can we bring more of that holiday feeling home with us?We hope you find something helpful in here.Love,Polly & Lucy x 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'?

  • The One Where I Talk To Childfree Activist & Author, Verena Brunschweiger
    Send us a textOn this week's episode of Thrive Solo, I'm joined by Verena Brunschweiger, a 45-year-old writer, feminist, and child-free activist from Germany. Verena discusses her journey towards embracing a child-free life despite societal pressures, outlining environmental, personal, and feminist reasons for her choice. She also highlights the severe backlash and hate she's received for her activism, especially in conservative regions. Despite this, Verena and I both emphasise the importance of advocating for the child-free lifestyle and feminism. We also discuss Verena's book, 'Do Child-Free People Have Better Sex?' which explores various dimensions of the child-free movement and its benefits. The episode concludes with Verena's thoughts on the best things about being childfree.03:31 Verena's Journey to Childfree Life05:42 Environmental Impact of Being Childfree08:39 Facing Societal Pressure and Backlash15:41 Right-Wing Politics and Childfree Activism25:16 Facing Hate and Staying Motivated28:26 The Importance of Feminism Today31:29 The Benefits of a Childfree Life36:04 Dealing with Online Hate37:51 Exploring the Book: Do Childfree People Have Better Sex?43:41 Final Thoughts and FarewellCheck out Verena's website: https://verenabrunschweiger.net/english/Buy Verena's book, Do Childfree People Have Better Sex?: https://lanternpm.org/book/do-childfree-people-have-better-sex/ 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'?

  • Thursday Thoughts — Self-Worth
    Send us a textOn today's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about self-worth — the importance of which cannot be overstated.As Jamie Kern Lima says in her book, Worthy, our self-worth is our ceiling; in other words we will only ever get as far in life as we believe we're worthy of getting.Unlike self-confidence, self-worth truly is an inside job, and not something we can get from anything outside of ourselves, i.e. a job promotion, a relationship, or a medal. The truth is that we are all inherently worthy, so it's just a question of unlearning all of the subconscious beliefs that have taught us we're not. Polly & I talk about our own feelings of self-worth, as well as discussing some practical ways that we can increase our own sense of worthiness.We really hope you'll find something helpful in here.Love, Polly & Lucy x 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'?

About 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.E-mail me at [email protected]
