Send us a text On today's minisode, I'm talking about those feelings of being 'less than' that sometimes creep into our minds, even when we're happily living our single, childfree lives. I'm also talking about how, no matter how secure we might be in who we are, being around certain people from our past can make us regress back to our 17-year-old selves. The truth is that the power of the societal narrative around single women means that we may never be able to fully shake off the feeling that w...

Send us a text On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Polly & I are talking about living intentionally. Being intentional means cultivating awareness of how you're living and how you're showing up in the world. Without this awareness, it's easy to slip into autopilot, letting life pass us by without feeling like we're the ones in control. But when you choose to live with intention, you become conscious of where you're directing your thoughts and your energy. You become more present, making delibe...

Send us a text On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about embracing ageing. It’s time to change the narrative - and let’s face it, we’re talking about women here - that you are ‘past your sell by date’ once you hit 40, 50, 60 etc. The truth is that age brings with it so many wonderful things, not least confidence, wisdom and experience. And can choose to embrace getting older by looking after ourselves properly, and truly owning the fact that age is just a number. Because le...

Send us a text This week, it's a solo episode which has nothing to do with being single and childfree! Instead, I'm talking about another topic that I'm passionate about — my morning routine. I've started a 'morning routine club' named Cockadoodle-Lu (you can thank my sister for the name) for women who want to start their mornings off with positivity, calm, and intention, rather than beginning their days feeling flustered and stressed. On Mondays, Tuesday and Wednesday, we're going to meet at 6a...

Send us a text On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Polly & I are talking about embracing failure. We have been conditioned to see failure as something negative, but in fact failure is an important part of the learning process, and a very necessary step along the pathway to success. Polly & I discuss how failure gives us essential feedback, and how success is more about carrying on after a 'failure', rather than giving up. When it comes down to it, failure is something to be embraced, rathe...
