Thrive Solo

Lucy Meggeson

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 Author & Modern-Day Nomad, Lisa Jansen
Send us Fan Mail Support the show In this week's episode, I’m talking to author and modern-day nomad, Lisa Jansen. Lisa was born and raised in Germany, but has lived in New Zealand for 17 years. When she was 33, she realised that the ‘traditional’ life path of marriage and babies wasn’t necessarily for her, and she decided to buy a camper van which she lived and travelled around New Zealand in for four and a half years. During her travels around New Zealand, Lisa wrote her first book, ‘One Size Does Not Fit All’, and she has since written ‘Life Done Differently’ which documents the high and the lows of her time on the road. Lisa is happily single and childfree, and is currently housesitting in Auckland, whilst working part-time in marketing which has been her career since she arrived in New Zealand. Topics that Lisa & I cover are: how her 33rd birthday weekend was the beginning of her ‘mini life crisis’; how the ‘dream’ of marriage and babies didn’t seem to resonate with her; how Lisa initially planned to live and travel in her camper van for a summer; Lisa’s journey of personal growth and how important self-awareness and mindset are to her; thinking ‘outside the box’ and considering other options when it comes to the 9 - 5; the challenges of ‘swimming against the tide’ and how Lisa’s whole life had prepared her for it; relishing alone time, and how Lisa has a very rich inner world; how the most valuable lesson Lisa has learned from her nomadic lifestyle, is how little she needs to be happy; the idea in society that the ‘normal’ path in life inevitably leads to happiness, whereas anything else is ‘risky’; how and why Lisa differentiates between being ‘solo’ and being single; Lisa’s top three places in New Zealand; what can be gained from travelling on your own.

We've all been there, when your to-do list is longer than your arm and you'd rather hide under the duvet than actually face everything you need to do.

Thursday Thoughts - Taking Responsibility
Send us Fan Mail Support the show On today's Thursday Thoughts, Polly & I are talking about taking responsibility. This subject can be triggering for many, and in this conversation we don't hold back...but if you want to change your life for the better, then it starts with taking responsibility for yourself and your life. We can make excuses all day long as to why we haven't started the exercise regime, or left the job that's making us unhappy. We can blame other people and circumstances, and play the victim until the cows come home, but ultimately it's up to us. We hope you'll find something useful in the 'tough love' in this conversation!

The One Where I Talk To Sex Historian & Journalist, Kate Lister
Send us Fan Mail Support the show In this week's episode, I’m talking to sex historian and journalist, Kate Lister. Kate is a sex historian and lecturer at Leeds Trinity University whose primary research interest is the history of sexuality, with a particular focus on the figure of the sex worker. She has published in the field of Victorian studies and the medical humanities in this area. Kate is passionate about using applied literary studies, and currently works with several charities, women’s rights organisations, and campaign groups where she uses historical research to contextualise current debates around sex work law. She is a board member of the sex work research hub. Kate is also a journalist with the Inews, where she regularly contributes articles on historical sexuality. She also writes for the Wellcome Trust online. She is happily single and childfree. Topics that Kate & I cover are: how Kate was in a 10 year relationship before her current 10 years of singlehood; the realisation that most of the stress and anxiety in her life had come from her romantic relationships; how the longer she remains single, the more she loves it; why Kate thinks that women are more suited to singlehood than men; how studies have found that single women are happier than those who are coupled; the notion that perhaps long-term relationships aren’t necessarily a great idea; why Kate thinks that being a single woman might be the best thing ever; the ‘emotional labour’ of internet dating; how we both lost ourselves in previous relationships; how Kate absolutely loves living alone, and spending time on her own; how both of us feel genuinely grateful to be single; how we need to move away from the idea that one person can be everything; how there are so many other kinds of love that are equally meaningful; how, whilst Kate isn’t averse to a relationship, she realises that she’s choosing to be single.

Minisode Ep.73 - Why Rebounding Rocks!
Send us Fan Mail Support the show On today's minisode, I'm talking about my love of rebounding - and no, I don't mean rebounding of the relationship variety. I'm talking about my mini exercise trampoline! So obsessed am I by this incredible way of working out, that I decided to do a minisode all about how I discovered it, why I love it, and why you should absolutely give it a go. Not only does it feel way more fun than running or going to the gym, there are a whole host of health benefits that mean this little trampoline will be your new best friend in no time; not least the fact that it's one of the best ways to get rid of cellulite, AND it burns more calories than going for a run. Yup. So, take a listen and let me know if you're going to get one!

The One Where I Talk To My Niece, Blue!
Send us Fan Mail Support the show On today's episode, I'm talking to my gorgeous, amazing, brilliant niece, Blue! At the tender age of 17, Blue most certainly has her head screwed on, and I feel very lucky to have a niece like her. She also happens to be one third of a triplet, and the only girl out of four siblings including her older brother. But, Blue manages to more than hold her own in a male-dominated household! Our conversation includes: Blue's memories of me in relationships; how we're more like sisters than auntie and niece; her thoughts on having a ‘spinster’ auntie; her views on marriage and babies; Blue’s thoughts around how our parents effect what we want from a relationship; her own non-traditional upbringing; how she feels that she’ll be fine if she ends up alone because of having a single auntie; how she’s not convinced that she’ll get married; how Blue thinks there is less pressure these days to get married and have kids; her views on the love lives of some well-known fictional characters; what she thinks about the environment in relation to overpopulation; and why Blue thinks we should all ‘be a Samantha’!

Minisode Ep.72 - Self-Compassion
Send us Fan Mail Support the show On today's minisode, I'm talking about self-compassion. Why is it that so many of us berate ourselves, judge ourselves, and punish ourselves, when really we should have our own backs? Why don't we talk to ourselves kindly in the same way we would a friend? Inspired by our Book Club book in my Thrive Solo membership, Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff, I talk about my own journey to self-compassion, including how I used to be (and still can be) extremely self-critical. I also talk about the three components of self-compassion according to Kristin Neff, as well as some of the benefits of practicing it. Press 'Play' and let me know what you think!

The One Where I Talk To Author & Founder Of Thought Leadership PR, Helen Croydon
Send us Fan Mail Support the show In this week's episode, I’m talking to author, journalist, and founder of Thought Leadership PR, Helen Croydon. Helen is a former journalist, the author of three books including ‘Screw The Fairytale: A Modern Girl’s Guide To Sex & Love’, and the founder of her own PR practice, Thought Leadership. She is also a passionate triathlete and lover of the outdoors.

Minisode Ep.71 - Peace, Man
Send us Fan Mail Support the show On today's minisode, I'm talking about the peace that comes with living alone. As single, childfree women, we are in the fortunate position of not having to deal with the moods and emotions of either a partner or children in our day to day home lives. But because most of the world is busy celebrating the 'traditional' way of life, the benefits of being the only human in your living space are rarely celebrated in the same way, if at all. There is much to be said for not having to deal with a screaming toddler, a moody teenager, or an argumentative partner. Instead, we get to revel in the peace and calm of a household just for one. Heaven.

Minisode Ep.70 - Do You Want To Be Right, Or Do You Want To Be Happy?
Send us Fan Mail Support the show On today's minisode I talk about the choice we have between being right, and being happy. So often our ego selves are just dying to be right. Even when it's something insignificant, something that really doesn't matter, our ego is always itching to prove its point. But more often than not, needing to be right or prove our point leads to stress, conflict and discomfort which, quite frankly, we could do without. Our higher self, on the other hand, just wants to be at peace and really couldn't care less about winning the argument. So what might happen if we chose peace and happiness over being 'right'? What if we chose kindness over getting the upper hand? Press 'Play' to hear more!

Minisode Ep.68 - 10 Things They Should Have Taught Us In School
Send us Fan Mail Support the show On today's minisode, I'm talking about 10 things I think we should have been taught in school. It's all very well teaching kids maths, science and history, but what about the more intangible things that can really move the needle when it comes to actual LIFE? From aiming to fail and embracing fear, to taking messy action and being authentic, these are some of the things I share my thoughts on. I hope you enjoy it!
