Thrive Solo

Fréquence : 1 épisode/3j. Total Éps: 590
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.

Thursday Thoughts — What Are You Dwelling On?
jeudi 6 novembre 2025 • Durée 31:58
On today’s Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about how long we allow ourselves to dwell on things that aren’t serving us; in other words, where we’re placing our attention.
How often do you actually notice where your mind is at any given moment? And how often do you find yourself ruminating on something that isn’t making you feel good? Perhaps you had an argument with a friend, or maybe you’re worried about an email from your boss. Are you still thinking about it three days later?
Polly and I talk about why it’s so incredibly important to bring more awareness to our thoughts, and to consciously choose to shift our focus onto something else, rather than obsess over things that are completely out of our control.
Of course we need to feel our feelings - and of course some things are much bigger and more serious than others - but in the day to day of life, how long do you tend to dwell on a conversation, event, or incident that is making you feel bad?
We hope you’ll find something useful in here.
Love,
Polly & Lucy x

The One Where I Talk To Writer & Body Neutrality Coach, Rebekah Buege
Saison 1 · Épisode 194
mardi 4 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:02:36
In this week's episode of Thrive Solo, my guest is Rebekah Buege.
Rebekah lives in Minnesota, USA, and while she works a corporate 9 - 5 job, she’s also a body neutrality coach, a writer, and she posts all about her single life on TikTok and Instagram. In this conversation, Rebekah and I talk about pursuing life over relationships, the state of modern dating, overcoming societal pressures, and the liberating experience of changing her appearance with a short haircut. Rebekah emphasises the importance of living life fully without waiting for a partner, investing in friendships, and understanding one's own identity. She also discusses the benefits and challenges of single life, and how single life is often conflated with loneliness. The episode concludes with Rebecca's thoughts on how to thrive as a single person by living authentically and proactively.

The One Where I Talk To Author & Journalist, Marianne Power
Saison 1 · Épisode 191
mardi 14 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:24:56
My guest on this week's episode is the absolutely fabulous Marianne Power.
Marianne was on the podcast back in the summer of 2024, so I encourage you to go and listen to those episodes if you haven’t already (I split them into 2 because we talked for so long!), and if you don’t know who she is, then you need to.
She is the author of the phenomenal book 'Love Me! One Woman’s Search For A Different Kind Of Happy Ever After', which I urge you to read if you haven't already. She’s also the author of 'Help Me!', as well as being a journalist.
This conversation came off the back of a phone call that Marianne and I had several weeks ago where we talked about everything from how vulnerable it feels to put a book out into the world, to our very different experiences of sex in the past and in the present, to the wonderful things about being single and not having kids; and at the end of that chat we decided she needed to come back on the podcast to try out best to recreate our conversation for you!
You’re definitely going to want to listen the whole way through — trust me. We cover all manner of things from the vulnerability of writing personal stories, to the importance of connection, and the challenges and joys of navigating singlehood. This engaging conversation touches upon key themes like societal expectations, the need for self-validation, and the broader spectrum of relationships that can fill our lives with meaning and joy.
04:50 Marianne's Journey and Book Insights
10:36 Societal Expectations and Personal Validation
28:14 The Importance of Connection
36:22 Exploring Conscious Sexuality
43:47 Finding Joy in Being Single
43:56 The Importance of Touch and Connection
44:47 Breaking Relationship Norms
45:47 Discussing Our Books and Public Perception
46:44 Marianne's Mortifying Festival Talk (that turned to be a roaring success)

Thursday Thoughts — The Relationship You Have With Yourself
jeudi 13 mars 2025 • Durée 35:12
This week on Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about a topic that impacts every area of your life – the relationship you have with yourself.
Since you spend every second of every day with ‘you’, it makes sense to invest in making that relationship as strong and supportive as possible.
We explore how the way you treat and view yourself directly influences your happiness and fulfillment—whether you're in a relationship or not—and share practical ways we've found helpful to strengthen that connection.
We hope you find something that resonates with you.
Love, Polly & Lucy xxx

Minisode Ep.148 — Be-Do-Have
samedi 8 mars 2025 • Durée 12:27
On this week's minisode, I'm talking about an important life concept that we often get backwards — the idea that when we get the thing that we want to have, we'll be happy. In reality, it works entirely the other way around.

Thursday Thoughts — How Stress Impacts Fat Loss
jeudi 6 mars 2025 • Durée 34:07
On this week’s Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about how stress impacts fat loss.
We discuss how chronic stress keeps your body in survival mode—leading to increased belly fat storage, a slower metabolism, and heightened cravings.
We also explore why a regulated nervous system is key to shifting back into fat-burning mode and share practical ways to support this process.
We hope you find something helpful in this episode.
Love,
Polly & Lucy xx

The One Where I Talk To Meditation Teacher & Coach, Conor Creighton
Saison 1 · Épisode 159
mardi 4 mars 2025 • Durée 01:18:48
My guest on the podcast this week is the fabulous Conor Creighton.
Conor Creighton is an author, coach and meditation teacher from Kildare, Ireland. His podcast Hacking Love explores the relationship in a time of crisis and huge evolutionary change. He used to be a journalist for the Guardian and Vice Magazine, covering warzones, drug culture, and the rise of the far-right. However, in 2012 he discovered meditation and realised that being a meditation teacher, spiritual guide, and coach was much more up his street.
Topics that we cover are:
- how Conor is a ‘dream coach’ who unearths what makes people come alive;;
- his take on relationships and how we’ve reached a threshold as our culture is shifting;
- co-dependency, and how so many of us grew up in co-dependent homes;
- Conor’s take on the ‘new model’ of relationships;
- how things have shifted for men with the advent of the ‘new world;
- how men have always been conditioned to suppress their emotions;
- how men are almost encouraged to be angry;
- how men have a huge capacity for suffering, and how they find it hard to admit weakness;
- why struggle can often be a gift in disguise;
- Conor’s thoughts on the nature of reality;
- how we can change and curate our state of being;
- the catalyst for Conor starting his journey with meditation;
- why it’s so important to work on our magnetism, and be more in service to ourselves;
- Conor’s thoughts on the concept of scarcity mindset;
- the notion that money isn’t real, it’s energy, and how we need to work on our mindset around it;
- nervous system work around the way we feel about money;
- why meditation is so important, and what happens when we don’t do it.
