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.

My guest on this week's episode is the completely gorgeous Jordan Emily Rose, a blogger, influencer, travel and fashion content creator.
Jordan shares her journey from discovering blogging to becoming a successful influencer across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. She discusses her entry into the field, the challenges of visibility and online criticism, and her experiences dealing with mental health issues.
Jordan also reflects on societal pressures related to relationships, the rise of single women, and the evolving stigma around independent women. She talks about the importance of retaining independence within relationships, as well as her forthcoming fiction book about an enchanted library in 1950s London. Throughout our conversation, Jordan emphasises the significance of self-improvement and not settling in both personal and romantic endeavours.
