  • Thank you Lucy for all you do

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The One Where I Talk To Influencer & Content Creator, Amy Untamed
Q: I wish I knew how to tune into my intuition. How did you start understanding how to tune into your intuition?
Amy explains that intuition starts with bodily sensing—learning to notice how things feel in the body, paying attention to micro-mens, and choosing what feels good over what the mind says. She emphasizes gradual trust-building, starting with everyday choices like coffee or small preferences, and using those cues to guide bigger life decisions.
The One Where I Talk To The Anxiety Healer, Alison Seponara
Q: What are some non-negotiables Alison uses for herself and for her clients to manage anxiety?
Alison describes tailored grounding, breathing techniques, emotional awareness, and regular journaling as core non-negotiables, along with a willingness to try different tools to discover what stabilizes each individual, and she emphasizes body awareness and consistency.
The One Where I Talk To New York Times Bestseller & Desert Dweller, Brianna Madia — Part 1
Q: Can you tell listeners how your life started changing when you began living in the van and what drew you to that lifestyle?
Brianna explains that moving into a van with her husband and dogs opened a radically independent life, where social media began as a hobby and grew into a career, ultimately teaching her the value of forging her own path.
The One Where I Talk To Vet & Media Personality, Dr. Kate Adams
Q: Dr. Kate Adams, thank you so much for joining me. Can you just tell our listeners briefly who you are and what you do?
I'm a vet by training and the owner of Bondi Vet Hospital in Sydney; I've also appeared on Bondi Vet and Real Housewives of Sydney, and I've built a career that blends veterinary work with media.
The One Where I Talk To Singer-Songwriter, Akosia
Q: Where are you at in terms of your single life?
Akosia emphasizes focusing on herself and her music rather than chasing a relationship, while remaining open to love but not letting it define her life.
