Where You Left Them - The dadhugsforyoursoul Podcast

Today we are chatting to the brilliant Lucy Meggeson. Through her podcast, membership, book, and content, Lucy challenges outdated narratives about singlehood, showing women that they don’t need a partner to live fully, passionately, and joyfully.  You can see why Harry was so keen to get her on our podcast!You can find Lucy at https://www.lucymeggeson.com/ and also on Instagram @thrivesolowithlucymeggesonThere are so many themes that we have ALL heard "have you met anyone yet?" "are you going to start a family?" - painful, intrusive, unnecessary! We hear personal examples of this and discuss the impact that being single, by choice or not, has on friendships, our outlook on life and our mindset. As we always say, if you're having relationship problems, going through a relationship breakup or experiencing heartbreak, then know this: we are with you. Because you can and will survive, heal and thrive.Everyone who appears on our podcast can take positive steps forward, and so can you.Listen to the audio version on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Deezer, and anywhere you get your podcasts.

We see that there's always hope. And we see that there's a lesson in every story for our own lives.Big Hug x

Lisa's Story — A No Contact Update That Will Give You HopeEight months ago, Lisa wrote to Harry at one of the lowest points of her life — 53 years old, 30 years with her partner and suddenly it was all gone. She wasn't sleeping, she couldn't stop checking his social media, and she had no idea who she was anymore.This week we revisit Lisa's story; as one of the earliest users of the No Contact Pack we hear just how far she has come. Because the update she sent in? It made Emma cry (of course it did) and Harry? Well he's not surprised one bit - he always knew it would work for her!Harry answers the big questions Lisa's story raises — why do we torture ourselves going over the past, why is the phone so hard to put down, and how do you rediscover who you are after decades of being half of a couple?Oh and can you spot the enormous - can we pretend it was deliberate - mistake? One of us (*coughs* Emma *coughs*) can't count......As we always say, if you're having relationship problems, going through a relationship breakup or experiencing heartbreak, then know this: we are with you.

Where you left them - the Queasy Q&AThis week, as Emma is unwell, we've taken the pressure off her with a 'listener Q&A' session instead of a story - from Moving on, to finding your self-worth - we cover a lot in this episode and still save some questions for next time. As we always say, if you’re having relationship problems, going through a relationship breakup or experiencing heartbreak, then know this: we are with you.

When relationships end, there's often a lot more than feelings at stake.For many partners, women especially, there's a risk of being left in a financially precarious positition.This story, sent in by listener Sally, takes us through that journey from pure trust and love to betrayal - and then into the details of what the fallout can mean not just emotionally, but financially.She talks of her wonderful supportive friend and we find out if it is too late to recover her financial independence, as we hear from her at the beginning of that journeyIt's raw, frightening and sadly all too common.The message here is that no matter how perfect everything is, maintain as much financial independence as you can - it's not unromantic, it's vital to your future security, whether things go south or not.Then it’s on to questions of the week. “How Do You Know When It’s Really Over?” “How Do You Start Again After a Breakup in Midlife?”As we always say, if you’re having relationship problems, going through a relationship breakup or experiencing heartbreak, then know this: we are with you.
