Send us Fan MailOn today's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking all about decluttering.Whether it's physical decluttering of your home, digital decluttering of your social media or inbox, or mental decluttering of those things or people you no longer want in your life, having a good old declutter can be life-changing!Polly talks about her experience of decluttering her house before a move from the home her and her family have lived in for 17 years; and I talk about getting ruthless when I had a major declutter before I bought my teeny tiny studio flat.Whatever it looks like for you, decluttering is a fabulous way of letting go of the things that are no longer serving you, so you can make space for the things that you want to come into your life.We hope you'll find something useful in here!Love,Polly & Lucy x Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/bookJoin my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesoloDownload my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacksCheck out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=shareFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!

Send us Fan MailOn today's minisode, I'm talking about love as a verb, rather than a noun.As single women, it's all too easy to passively wait for that certain someone to come along and give us love. It's like we're always waiting to receive it.But what if we started to think of love as a verb? What if we started to think of love as an action that we take, and as something that we are?  What if we placed our focus on actively putting love out into the world, instead of thinking that it needs to come to us via a romantic partner, over and above any other form of love?Press 'Play' and let me know what you think!
