  • She’s Reading My Mind!

    I just discovered this podcast a few days ago and I’m obsessed. I also feel so thoroughly validated. Listening to episodes 225 and 226, “Why I’ll Probably Be Single Forever” I truly felt that I could have spoken 100% of those thoughts and meant them. Lucy is articulate and willing to share her honest truth. It’s great to feel a resonance with her. I look forward to bingeing more episodes and possibly taking a group trip with Lucy and listeners. Thank you, Lucy. Brava!

  • I feel you can hear my thoughts

    Just found your podcast!! I feel like you are hearing my thoughts which is great because I wasn’t sure if being single and happy was ok. I can’t wait to listen to allll your episodes and read your book. The 50 list was outstanding, as one women doing this on her own. I think you are amazing and guiding so many women to empowerment!!!
