In this week’s minisode, I’m sharing some of the reasons I genuinely think I may be single forever — and why that prospect doesn’t bother me in the slightest. From my almost non-existent tolerance for bullshit and my love of independence, to the compromises, emotional responsibility and risk of losing yourself that can come with relationships, I’m exploring why partnership simply doesn’t hold the same appeal for me that it once did. Because if you don’t experience being single as a problem, then a relationship isn’t the solution — it’s just one possible life choice. And any man who came into my life now wouldn’t be competing with other men. He’d be competing with my single life…and the competition is fierce.

On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about our tendency to keep striving for the next thing, rather than appreciating what we already have.
We talk about the ‘hedonic treadmill’ - the idea that even when we achieve something we really wanted, the happiness it brings often doesn’t last, and before long we’re looking towards the next goal.
Polly shares how she sometimes forgets that she's living in the house she once dreamed of, while I talk about the freedom I have in my work and how, for example, having a post go viral doesn't fundamentally change how I feel.
We also talk about gratitude, appreciating the small, everyday things, and remembering that fulfilment isn’t necessarily waiting for us at the next milestone.
We hope you’ll find something interesting or helpful in here.
Love,
Polly & Lucy x

My gorgeous guest on this week's episode of Thrive Solo is advertising executive, Sammy Hibbard-Daniels. Thirty-seven, single, and childfree, Sammy lives with her sausage dog, Frank. She was in a ten year relationship until a few years ago when her and her partner parted ways - still sharing joint custody of Frank - and she is now leaning into all things solo life, including her solo travel adventures. 
In this conversation, Sammy and I cover topics including the terminology around single women without kids, her first solo trip to Bali when she left her job and flew across the world by herself, romanticising your life as a single woman, making new friends as an adult woman, being intentional with your time, the shi*show that is online dating, and so much more.

In Part 2 of this minisode series, I’m getting into the nitty gritty of exactly what I’ve been doing to get fitter, stronger and leaner at 50. I’m talking you through my three weekly strength-training sessions, progressive overload, how I get around 100g of protein a day, what I actually eat, the supplements I take, my daily walks, why I’m completely obsessed with rebounding, and the importance of sleep and recovery. There’s no extreme diet, punishing exercise regime or magic menopause hack involved — just a handful of simple things done consistently. If you’ve been telling yourself it’s too late to get stronger or start looking after your body, I hope this episode gives you a little kick up the arse to start.

On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about cultivating a beginner’s mindset, as well as the difference between fixed and growth mindsets.
In our conversation, we talk about how people often avoid trying new things because they're worried about not being good immediately, when the truth is that we all start knowing nothing — and we learn through effort and failure. 
Polly talks about her experience as a teacher and how she encouraged her students to resist comparison, recognise their different strengths, and understand that skills can be developed with practice. 
We also talk about the fact that talent only goes so far without persistence and self-belief, and that successful, interesting people keep learning by asking questions, embracing vulnerability, and being willing to look 'stupid'. 
We hope you'll find something interesting or helpful in here.
Love,
Polly & Lucy x
