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 Plant Based Chef & Author, Frankie Paz
My guest on the podcast this week is the one-of-a-kind, Frankie Paz.
Frankie is a plant-based chef and the author of Plant Feasts: Recipes For Slow Living In A Fast Paced World. She also hosts various events including supper clubs, retreats and ‘moon jams’, and she is absolutely passionate about living a life where she is connecting to the land and finding balance in the modern world.
Frankie is single, childfree, and lives alone on her canal boat in East London.
Topics that we cover are:
- Frankie’s marriage and subsequent divorce from a man she met in Columbia;
- how she feels about her single life since the end of her marriage;
- the empowerment that comes from falling in love with yourself;
- what it’s like living alone on a canal boat;
- what purpose means to Frankie;
- living in a small space and what that looks like for Frankie;
- how we tend to focus on finding a partner, but should focus more on our connection with the land;
- the importance of courage and why we need to stop caring what others think;
- female friendships, and how important they have always been for Frankie;
- being honest with yourself, and how hard that can be;
- how the worst kind of loneliness can be within a relationship;
- Frankie’s experiences in the world of polyamory;
- how she has lost herself to relationships in the past, but will never allow that to happen again;
- how Frankie likes to bring romance into her everyday life;
- how Frankie’s cooking isn’t just about the food, it’s about connection;
- her book, Plant Feasts, how it came into being, and why it’s much more than a cook book;
- cooking for one, and her solo rituals;
- Frankie’s words of advice for single women.
