promoting AI :(
Love the show, host, and concept but I just heard an episode where she encourages listeners to use AI to help get unstuck. Wasting water and resources and disrupting communities and stealing from artists is not conducive to thriving. Nor is it healthy for single people who might be at risk of isolating :/

She’s Reading My Mind!
I just discovered this podcast a few days ago and I’m obsessed. I also feel so thoroughly validated. Listening to episodes 225 and 226, “Why I’ll Probably Be Single Forever” I truly felt that I could have spoken 100% of those thoughts and meant them. Lucy is articulate and willing to share her honest truth. It’s great to feel a resonance with her. I look forward to bingeing more episodes and possibly taking a group trip with Lucy and listeners. Thank you, Lucy. Brava!

Necessary for Solo women
Fantastic talks and pearls of wisdom. How to normalize the completely benign and acceptable position of being solo in our current landscape of desperately chasing “The One”.

Sucks
Self indulgent pandering. Your mundane conversations don’t need to be broadcast.

Exactly What I Needed
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!

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.

Love the show but…..
Stumbled upon this podcast and listened to a few episodes. Love it, but I think the title limits it… as in I’m 65, divorced 15 years, two amazing children. Relocated to Europe at 50 to teach English. I’m strong, independent, love living alone, travel solo and don’t need a man to fulfil me. I’m not a spinster, but the issues you raise still apply to women like me. 😊

I love this pod cast!!!
I have learned more about myself! First get her empowerment music!! I have learned about myself. I love. Ring alone with myself and in doing so, the times I am with others, is better! I am so grateful for the way she explains things.

Positive and uplifting
Happy new year, Lucy! Thank you for all the work you do to shine a light on the single and child-free community.

Love this podcast
Her conversational style and humor are a pure joy to listen to. This podcast is essential listening for anyone who has found themselves eschewing the notion that coupledom is the natural state of human existence. Spoiler alert: it’s not.

Spinsters Rule!
While not the target audience per se, being a gay male & single, I still very much relate to the themes of this podcast. I believe I found this via an article in the DM & then binged the episodes on a very long solo road trip. Lucy is engaging, confident, listens to her guests and is like that best friend you call when you need a pick me up. If you distill this podcast down to its very essence, it’s about taking the road less travelled (whether by choice or not) & discovering all the delights along the way. Well done Lucy for bringing this topic to light with a sense of fun, cheekiness, curiosity & realism! 5 stars all around!

Thanks Lucy 🤗
I so look forward to Lucy’s Saturday minisodes. The happy music that plays at the start “oh oh oh oh” totally sets the mood and I know I’m going to learn something or at least feel so much more calm. Lucy’s soothing voice and gal pal demeanor always puts me at ease. Thank you Lucy for hard work. I’m very grateful (see, practicing gratitude!) for your content. Byee!

Charmed and Comforted
I found this lovely podcast after reading a book with a “spinster” character, I typed “spinster” into the search bar for podcasts and was charmed to find Lucy’s podcast! She has such a positive perspective, and I’ve been so comforted to know there are other women out there who feel like I do. She has an engaging demeanor and brings out the best in whoever she interviews. Absolutely chuffed to have found this wonderful podcast. Brightens up my day in so many ways! Thank you Lucy, keep up the incredible work <3

Listen, Rise
I’ve found my tribe with Lucy and her band of smart and sassy ladies! I enjoy hearing all the fabulous ways women are empowering themselves, not waiting to be coupled in order to follow their dreams. I am obsessed with this podcast as it is so professionally produced, Lucy’s voice and her astute questions, the quality of guests, the topics of discussion…I am learning so much and inspired to thrive in a new way I hadn’t imagined.

My Favorite Podcast
I am so glad I discovered this podcast, it is by far my favorite. I am a divorced woman with grown children and I still can relate so much to a lot of the content. Lucy is insightful, and I love that she is doing a lot of self-help work on herself as I am so I can relate to her so much. I respect her honesty and I can’t wait to hear more. Thanks Lucy for all your hard work, I can’t imagine how time consuming 2 episodes per week is. I know that one day you’re gonna have Jennifer Aniston on your podcast, much love.

Single mama
I am a single mother so not truly a spinster but I love this podcast! I have been searching for a podcast and resources about embracing being single, I find that most podcast for singles are about dating and finding a relationship. I greatly appreciate this wisdom of being enough & enjoying being alone.

Very inspiring
One of my favorite podcasts.

Loving this podcast
Found this podcast through Lucy’s interview w/ Shani Silver. Love having another like minded, positive, child free voice!

Validating and Necessary
I share this podcast with all my single friends, because it is very validating to hear about all the different, and positive, ways a single life can look. Spinsterhood Reimagined doesn’t only *reimagine* outdated single-woman stereotypes, but flips those stereotypes on their heads and reshapes them into positive, progressive messages about the inherent worth of women, regardless of relationship status. Refreshing and fun!

Love Lucy’s Podcast - makes me feel wonderful
Lucy has a wonderful voice and such clarity of thought around the JOY of being single and embracing and validating the choice not to have children while making space for a variety of other voices. We need to embrace that not everyone wants to be on the conventional escalator 💕

Single Wish
Lucy!!!! My single wish of the day is that I would have found this podcast sooner!
Down to earth, insightful and entertaining! I find myself saying ‘Yes!!!!’ frequently when listening to episodes.
I have work to do to fully overcome decades of ‘social norms’ and getting out of the ‘comparison’ or ‘should’ game. This podcast is a great tool for me!
Lucy - keep up the brilliant work!

Love this show!
I have been a spinster(I don’t like that word!)for most of my life, was married for 6 years a decade ago, always a cat MOM, and I have to say its not be an easy path to take, and with most of my friends married, with or without kids, grandchildren and some without, I have often felt lonely on weekends, and like I am left out. Lucy’s podcast helps so much to not feel alone in this lifestyle! She is so interesting, has great guests, and she feels like your best friend that you could have a meal with and hang. She has a great personality, and fun! I learn a lot. Keep on keepin’ on Lucy! Oh and I am an Anglophile and adore her English accent.

Thank goodness
It’s so validating to hear—over and over, and in different ways each episode—that living the life of an unmarried, childfree by choice woman is not only legitimate, but pretty much awesome. Thank you for this important content, Lucy!

What an excellent and meaningful podcast! I am happily solo, and listening to Spinsterhood Reimagined feels like home. Lucy is genuine and thoughtful, and I appreciate her, her guests, and the content greatly! ❤️

I can’t stop listening!
This is such a great podcast. Lucy is so genuine and fun. I really appreciate her methods on growing a positive mindset. She has really interesting and inspiring guests as well. I started listening as my regular childfree podcast is on hiatus, but this is my new favorite. Thanks Lucy!

My new favorite podcast!!!
Learned about spinsterhood reimagined from another favorite podcast of mine (Solo with Peter McGraw) and have been listening every day since. Lucy is wonderful and relatable. Like having a cozy conversation with a close friend. Her work normalizing singlehood in world designed for couples is exactly what is needed. If you are single or contemplating singlehood, this podcast is a must listen!

A fresh perspective on modern life without children with a twist!
I first heard Lucy Meggeson on a recent call with Cathy Heller's "Don't Keep Your Day Job" podcast and instantly fell in love with her enthusiam for life and her spectacular voice. We had both taken a podcasting course from Cathy and when Cathy gave a little shout out for Lucy's new podcast, I decided to take a listen. Despite the show's provocative title, rest assured that you are instantly and safely brought to shore by Lucy and her soothing siren call to surrender any shame you might feel so you can fully appreciate the next stages of your life, wherever you are in its journey. I chose not to have children and don't regret it. Lucy has interesting guests and conversations about turning the shame conversation into a curated excavation of divine timing. If you related to Elizabeth Gilbert's story behind "Eat, Pray, Love" – then the future that awaits you without children can be a "Color Me Mine" adventure. You can enjoy your life fully with or without a life partner - so don't rule anything out! It's all good! Her early episode with Jody Day is fabulous! Don't miss it!

Great podcast!
I’ve been listening to Lucy’s podcast for the past 6 months and I have absolutely loved it. She has a variety of guests and discusses so many things that pertain to me as a childless single woman.

edson1058
So much fun to listen to
OK, I'm biased because Lucy interviewed me on episode 13, but really, Lucy is such a talented interviewer (I so enjoyed chatting with her!) that I am quite sure this podcast is going to skyrocket up the charts :) Give it a listen!
