Thrive Solo: Embracing the Freedom, Joy, and Opportunity of a Single, Childfree Life
A bold, celebratory exploration of living single and childfree from the host of the Thrive Solo podcast Are you tired of people asking why you've "ended up" single? Do you just want to do your own thing--without the pressure of marriage, kids, or expectations? In a world that still idealizes traditional marriage and motherhood, Lucy Meggeson offers a powerful counter-narrative: being single and childfree is just as joyful, meaningful, and fulfilling as being in a partnership. Drawing from personal experiences, candid conversations, and the latest research, Lucy reveals the freedoms and opportunities that come along with the single life--in spite of what the world assumes. She'll show you how to:
Whether it's creating space to pursue passion projects or embracing the spontaneity of designing days on your terms, you can celebrate all that's possible when you live life unapologetically and nurture the most important relationship of all: the one you have with yourself. It's time to reject outdated narratives and claim your solo life as one full of fabulousness and endless potential.
- Redefine happiness beyond coupledom
- Own your unique path and challenge made-up stereotypes
- Prioritize the things you truly want out of life

Praise for this book
"This delightful, insightful, and totally unapologetic take on the lives of childfree single women is a testament to thriving solo. Lucy Meggeson has so much to bring to this book - her experiences as a leading podcaster on the topic, her interviews with single childfree women, her understanding of the relevant research and contemporary context of childfree singlehood, and her own experiences, humor, and wisdom. Here's to her and all the fortunate readers who discover this gem."
-- Bella DePaulo, PhD, author of Single at Heart "Thank you to Lucy for giving the modern single woman the space to be heard for who she really is, and not who society and the press think she is - or should be."
