  • Inspired

    I didn’t know who Lucy was until I was listening to LBC Radio and heard Vanessa Feltz interview her. It was so inspirational to listen to, as I’ve been on my own for the last 10 years, going through menopause and endometriosis. She really lit up my day! I’m now listening to the podcast — it’s amazing, down-to-earth, and empowering.

    Thank you!!

  • 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.
