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.

Support the show
In this week's episode, I talk to award-winning writer, actor, comedian and musician, Lane Moore.
Lane’s first book, How To Be Alone: If You Want To And Even If You Don’t, became an instant No.1 bestseller and was praised as one of the best books of the year by The New York Times, New York Magazine, NPR, Good Morning America, Fast Company, Marie Claire, and many others. She also gave a TEDx Talk based on the book, called How To Be Alone. Her second book, You Will Find Your People: How To Make Meaningful Friendships As An Adult, was released on 25th April 2023.
Lane’s comedy show, Tinder Live, is regarded as one of the best comedy shows in the the world and has been praised by The New York Times, Spin Magazine, Entertainment Tonight, CBS, Time Out New York, and New York Magazine.
As a musician, she is the front person and songwriter in the band, It Was Romance, which has been praised by Pitchfork, Vogue, Village Voice, and Billboard named it one of 16 Female-Fronted Bands You Should Know.
Topics that Lane & I cover are:
- how she came to write a book called ‘How To Be Alone’;
- how we are socialised to think that being alone is the worst thing in the world;
- how, because of her upbringing, Lane had no choice but to learn how to be alone;
- how important it is for all of us to a find a home within ourselves;
- how we all need to find a community of people who have chosen themselves, over and above a partner;
- how if you find your people, you’re less likely to settle for a relationship that isn’t right for you;
- how awkward it can be to make new friends as an adult;
- how important it is to Lane to de-stigmatise how or when you meet your friends;
- the minefield that is friendship breakups;
- how she went through a friendship breakup whilst writing her book, You Will Find Your People;
- how we need to release the idea that our friends will be our friends forever, and cultivate more ease around friendships.
