    Minisode Ep.212 — Life Isn't Happening TO You, It's Happening THROUGH You

    06/06/2026 | 12 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    In this minisode, I’m sharing one of the most life-changing mindset shifts I’ve learned: life isn’t happening to you — it’s happening through you. I talk about the difference between a “victim of circumstances” mindset and an empowered, self-responsible one, and how your thoughts, words, feelings and actions shape the reality you experience. If you’ve been feeling stuck, reactive or disempowered, this is a practical reminder to reclaim your agency, focus on what’s within your control, and start steering your life from the inside out.

    Thursday Thoughts — How Well Do You Know Yourself?

    04/06/2026 | 32 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    On this week's Thursday's Thoughts, Polly and I are asking the question ‘How well do you know yourself?

    So many of us spend our lives reacting to what’s happening around us that we lose touch with what we actually need.

    We discuss what gives us energy, what drains us and the importance of living a life which is authentic to who we truly are.

    We hope you find something useful to you in here.

    Love, 
    Polly & Lucy x

    The One Where I Talk To 'Glorious Broads' Founder, Maryjane Fahey

    02/06/2026 | 1h 5 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    My guest on Thrive Solo this week is the completely fabulous Maryjane Fahey — and she is going to blow your socks off!
    Maryjane is 76 year old the creator of Glorious Broads, a platform that celebrates the audacious spirit of women who embrace aging with defiance, and where age is not but just a number, it’s a badge of honour. The message of Glorious Broads is that ageing should not be a journey of fading into the background, because wonderful women over 50, 60, 70 and beyond still have SO much to share with and to offer this world. 
    Maryjane previously worked in publishing, art directing, as well as rebranding and launching magazines from Women’s Health to redesigning Tatler Asia, The Boston Globe. She has written for Bustle’s TZR, Huffington Post, NPR, Next and co-authored a book called DUMPED. 
    In our conversation, Maryjane and I talk about everything from why she loathes the term ‘invisible’ for older women, living in the moment and why she loves Eckhart Tolle, how her attitude towards romantic love is very different now than it was when she was younger, the unconventional relationship she has with a man she chooses not to live with, and how the best sex of her life happened after she turned 60. Prepare yourselves to LOVE this force of a woman.

    Minisode Ep.211 — You're Never Going To Feel Ready

    30/05/2026 | 13 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    In this minisode I’m giving you a loving kick up the bum if you’ve been waiting to “feel ready” before you start the thing you know you want to do. I talk about why readiness is a myth, why motivation and clarity come from action (not the other way round), and how being single is actually a superpower because you have the space to build the life you want. I also share how I launched my podcast by picking a date and just getting scrappy and moving—proof that you don’t need the perfect plan, you just need to decide and take the first step.

    Thursday Thoughts - Mind, Mouth, Mood

    28/05/2026 | 33 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    On this week’s Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about three little words…mind, mouth, and mood.

    Ultimately, those three things - our thoughts, our words, and our emotions - are the building blocks of our reality. 

    But most of us spend our lives trying to change what’s going on in the outside world, instead of prioritising our inner world. And the outer world is simply a reflection of our inner world. 

    So…master your mind (the stories you’re telling yourself, the thoughts you repeat etc); master your mouth (are you constantly moaning and complaining?); and master your mood (by becoming aware of how you feel and learning how to gently shift into a better feeling state.) 

    We really hope you’ll find something useful in here.

    Love,
    Polly & Lucy x

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]
