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 Childfree Advocate, LeNora Faye
Support the show
In this week's episode, I talk to childfree lifestyle advocate, LeNora Faye.
LeNora is a childfree lifestyle advocate who creates public and private global platforms for people choosing not to have / birth or raise children. She began her public advocacy work in 2018 after realising a need for more conversation about not wanting to have kids. Following a year of blogging, she co-created the international podcast and web series Childfree Girls which led to the development of Childfree Convention. In 2022, LeNora co-founded Childfree Media, a network of global content creators focused on choice awareness.
Topics that LeNora & I cover are:
- how she came to work in the childfree space through her blog;
- what it looks like to be a childfree lifestyle advocate;
- the discomfort of being visible;
- LeNora’s experience of growing up in a cult, and how it impacted her decision to not have children;
- how she eventually left the cult by essentially disappearing for 10 years;
- how she always felt she had a calling for more;
- the similarities between dealing with the shame of being raised in a cult, and the shame of not having children;
- how being respected for choosing not to have children is something that many childfree people would appreciate;
- how LeNora is an introvert and subsequently requires plenty of alone time to recharge;
- our mutual love of road trips;
- finding your tribe and how it happens when you’re in flow;
- internet trolls and how to deal with them;
