  • Thursday Thoughts — Action Absorbs Anxiety
    Send us a textOn this week's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about a concept promoted by Dan Harris: Action Absorbs Anxiety.This is the idea that taking even the smallest of actions can help to reduce feelings of powerlessness and helplessness, by channelling that restless, stuck energy and shifting it onto something more productive.Polly and I also talk about another similar idea, which is that clarity comes from taking action - something that both of us have found to be true.We hope you’ll find something of value 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 PR Consultant, Emily Ball
    Send us a textIn this week's episode of the Thrive Solo, I'm talking to the fabulous Emily Ball, a PR business owner who shares her journey of healing and self-discovery after leaving a toxic relationship. During our conversation, Emily recounts her experiences of dealing with emotional abuse, the steps she took to reclaim her life, and how she learned to embrace and love singlehood. Our discussion highlights the importance of self-worth, the joy of solo adventures, and the misconception that singlehood equates to being incomplete.

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]
