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.

The One Where I Talk To Life Coach & Author, Sasha Cagen
Support the show
In this week's episode of Spinsterhood Reimagined, I talk to women’s empowerment coach and author, Sasha Cagen. I really think that you are going to love this episode because Sasha is fascinating, empowering and lots of fun!
Sasha is the founder of the QuirkyAlone movement, (founded in the early 2000’s), which gives new meaning to the word quirky, and spreads a message of self-acceptance for both single and partnered people who want to live life on their own terms.
She’s also the author of the cult hit book, Quirkyalone: A Manifesto For Uncompromising Romantics, and To-Do List: From Buying Milk to Finding A Soul Mate, What Our Lists Reveal About Us. Sasha is also working on a new book, her memoir, Wet.
In this conversation, Sasha and I talk about the sensual world of tango, the big part it’s played in her life and the time she spent living in Buenos Aires as a result; her career as a life coach focussing on women over 40; and the Quirkyalone movement which she founded in 2004.
Our conversation also includes the ‘tyranny of coupledom’; how Sasha always imagined that she would meet someone and have children but has made peace with not having children; how she would still like to have a relationship and is still a romantic; and the amazing things that have happened in her life as a result of the freedom of being single.
Also, Sasha tells me about pussy-walking, what it is and why it’s great!
I sincerely hope that you all enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.
