  • A little gem!

    I love this podcast. At 53 I’m single and childless. I’ve never been married and I’m childless by circumstance. I spent many years in my 30 and early 40s feeling desperate and believing I was missing out on something special, but now I feel alive, whilst women I know around me are unhappily married and stressed. This podcast is wonderful and I love the work that Lucy is doing to prove that you can have a wonderful and fulfilling life single and childless no matter how you got there.

Lucy seems to thrive on telling her audience she broke so many hearts in relationships . , she is a heart breaker . She also likes to brag about her single life and how superior it is to family life with children and a hubby .The time factor., the peace , the travel. Look I am single and child free but my friends who have families can do as much as me and probably more in some cases. . Curta... more

  • I have felt at home listening to this podcast - thanks Lucy!

    I am a single, child free woman who lives a very happy and interesting life. I hadn’t found a podcast that resonated with me until finding Spinsterhood Reimagined/Thrive Solo. I love the way Lucy explores how single and childfree women can live interesting and fulfilling lives outside the confines of the patriarchy. I have felt at home and understood listening to this podcast. However, for those of us who no longer need to be convinced of the benefits of being single and childfree I think some o... more
