S2 Episode 10 - Thriving Solo with Lucy Meggeson

Season 2, Ep. 10

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 Through her podcast, membership, book, and content, Lucy challenges outdated narratives about singlehood, showing women that they don’t need a partner to live fully, passionately, and joyfully.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 @thrivesolowithlucymeggeson


There 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.

  • 2. S3 Episode 2 - Redirecting Rob

    57:32||Season 3, Ep. 2
    Today we have a really interesting letter - Rob is at a point in his relationship that we don't usually get to see: he's at a decision point. His marriage is stable and he loves his wife but he feels that the spark has gone and he is experiencing some of that electricity with a work colleague. At this moment it's all in his head but he is aware that he's about to step into a world of pain if he makes the wrong choice. Can he redirect that focus and choose his marriage, wholeheartedly and forever, or is the pull of a fresh and exciting new relationship too strong. Harry gives his straight talking and practical advice - just as Rob asked!We've also got some listener/follower questions and if they resonate with you, Harry's responses may give you a little insight into why you feel, react or ruminate in the ways that you do. 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.

  • 1. S3 Episode 1 - The Do-Over

    01:00:50||Season 3, Ep. 1
    We're back! Back to the familiar format of a letter from a listener - and this one is such a common theme: why do we give sympathy and care to those who hurt us the most!Anisha wrote in with details of a break up we all can understand: her husband left her for a woman he met at work. She dealt with the fallout from this and helped her three children come to terms with their new life, steering them through the upset and hurt. She watched as he created a new family with his new partner. Then when it fell apart, he reached to her for support and.......well, listen to find out! It's fascinating to explore why we feel able to feel compassion for those who have hurt us the most, to try to understand behaviour that leads to betrayal and ultimately, the consequences of not being emotionally strong when life calls for it. 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.

  • 9. S2 Episode 9 - Calming the Storm

    01:15:08||Season 2, Ep. 9
    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. 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.
