On today's Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are discussing a piece that came out recently in The Telegraph, in which Lucy talks about being happily single and childfree.

The hate she received in the comments has been mind blowing and there are over 1,200 comments.

We hope you'll enjoy our conversation about haters, mindset, and the fear we all have of other people's opinions and judgements.

Love,

Polly & Lucy x

This week on Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I dive into a juicy conversation all about her brand new book Shiny Happy Singles — or Thrive Solo if you're tuning in from the US.

We chat about the inspiration behind the book, what it really means to thrive on your own, and why this message is so needed.

We also pull back the curtain on the creative process: the messy magic of writing, showing up consistently (even when it's hard), and trusting that clarity comes after you begin — not before. No waiting for the perfect moment or a lightning bolt of inspiration… just honest, step-by-step progress.

If you’ve got a book inside you, a creative project on your heart, or a voice that’s been whispering “start”… this one’s for you.

With love,
Polly & Lucy xx

Midlife doesn’t have to be a crisis — it can be a genuine metamorphosis.

In this episode, I’m not talking about just surviving menopause.
I’m talking about moving through it with more ease, clarity, and actual calm.

You’ll hear a segment from a training I recently ran, where I shared seven essential habits that helped me feel more like myself again — and can do the same for you.

They’re rooted in science, backed by real results, and designed to work with your body, not against it.

This isn’t about overhauling your life overnight.
It’s about understanding your body’s new language — and responding with choices that actually support it.

Here’s what we cover:

➡️ The one habit that helped me stop spiralling and reclaim a sense of control

➡️ How just 10 minutes a day can improve your sleep and steady your nervous system

➡️ What the science really says about food, muscle, and mood in perimenopause

➡️ The conversation around HRT and breast cancer risk — without fear or fluff

➡️ Why reconnection (with others and yourself) is non-negotiable at this time

✨ Whether you’re deep in the menopause transition or just beginning to notice changes, this episode is here to remind you:
You’re not alone. And you’re not powerless.

Small shifts. Big difference.
You’ve got this.

On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about perspective.

The way we see and feel about life is largely about the lens we’re looking through - because two people with exactly the same circumstances can have two wildly different experiences of life.

So the question is: how do we take off the negative glasses, and replace them with a more rosy pair? It starts with awareness, and making tiny shifts consistently over time.

Polly and I talk about how we’ve both changed our perspective in recent years, and we share some tips that can make a real difference to how you perceive the world.

We hope you’ll find something useful in here!

Love,
Polly & Lucy x

In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Laura Lambe—Menopause Practitioner, Nutritionist, and founder of Menopause Mastery and The Menopause Lab. Laura has supported hundreds of women through menopause using a results-driven, evidence-based approach—and she’s here to share why every menopause symptom is treatable, whether you’re using HRT or not.

We dive into the real, often overlooked drivers behind symptoms like brain fog, sleep issues and joint pain—and how nutrition, movement and stress support can make a world of difference.

In this conversation, we cover:

• Why so many women are actually undereating during menopause—and how that’s making symptoms worse
• What different types of joint pain can tell you about your body’s needs
• Practical ways to reduce inflammation and improve sleep without supplements or strict routines
• How to make exercise work for you, including mobility and pelvic floor support
• Why menopause can be a powerful invitation to reset your priorities and reclaim your energy

✨ You’ll also hear about The Menopause Lab—Laura’s free resource hub packed with expert guidance, real-world tips, and zero paywalls.

This week on Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about three truths about other people (taken from @melrobbins) that can totally transform your peace of mind.

We explore why trying to change someone never works, and why there’s no point getting mad at them when they’re not who you want them to be.

We also discuss how much freedom there is in accepting people exactly as they are, not as you wish they’d be.

Enjoy!

Love Polly & Lucy xx

• How proper breathing can regulate your emotions and energy in minutes
• The difference between movement and exercise — and why serotonin is your natural antidepressant
• The power of embracing challenge to slow aging and sharpen your edge
• Dan’s radical reminder: self-love isn’t selfish — it’s essential biology
• The belief flip that can change your life: “Somebody has to do it — why not you?”
