I have only listened to one episode with “dad hugs guy”. Loved it and am hooked!
I stumbled across this podcast while going through a divorce. I decided to be child free and that ended my marriage. Thank you Lucy for your insight, excited to listen every week!
I found the show six months ago and I wish I had found it 30 years ago. It is just so brilliant to hear everything that Lucy has to say, sticking up for single people who have been quietly wondering ‘am I actually the lucky one and not the tragic spinster everyone seems to think I am’ for far too long. Fabulous guests and such a refreshing approach - thank you Lucy, for all you do.
It is so refreshing to hear Lucy talk about thriving solo as childless single women. My world is bigger and warmer after hearing her and her guests sharing their insights in such an inclusive and inspiring way.
I found Lucy’s podcast (and book) at the perfect time. Single for the first time in over 20 years.
I love her voice, positivity and reminder - that being child free and solo is a blessing. Something to treasure, and embrace.
