    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!

  • 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.

  • Inspiring!

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
The One Where I Talk To 'Dad Hugs For Your Soul' Founder, Harry Hardisty
Q: Given the male loneliness discussion, what should single women look for in potential partners?
Look for people who are happy with themselves and not merely skilled at dating apps; the best partners are those who demonstrate peace and security, not perfection or strategic performance.
The One Where I Talk To 'Dad Hugs For Your Soul' Founder, Harry Hardisty
Q: What are your thoughts on chasing happiness in a romantic partner?
Chasing happiness through another person is a mistake; true happiness comes from within and from building a secure foundation in yourself before pursuing or evaluating relationships.
The One Where I Talk To 'Dad Hugs For Your Soul' Founder, Harry Hardisty
Q: Can you tell our listeners briefly who you are and what you do?
I run Dad Hugs for Your Soul, a set of social channels focusing on breakup recovery and emotional healing, built from my own experiences with anxious and avoidant attachment and a desire to help others heal with honesty and compassion.
