2026/02/24

Send a text It’s a very special episode today because my guest is someone I really do love, even though I’ve only known him for a matter of weeks. His name is Einar Thorsteinsson, and he was the wonderful, wonderful guide on my recent trip to Iceland in January. This trip was a first for me, not only because I’d never been to Iceland before, but also because I was hosting the trip - having partnered with Explore Worldwide for a Thrive Solo trip for single women. There were 13 of us from...

Thursday Thoughts — Breaking The Cycle Of Negativity

Thrive Solo ·

2026/02/19

Send a text On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about breaking the cycle of negativity. We explore how easy it is to get caught in those negative spirals where one thought leads to another and suddenly we're knee-deep in a full-on wallow, feeling pretty rubbish about everything. We chat about how the way we feel most of the time becomes the energy we're putting out into the world — and how that energy attracts more of the same right back to us. We also share some of the ...

Thursday Thoughts — The Patriarchy

Thrive Solo ·

2026/02/12

Send a text On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking all about the patriarchy. This social system that historically centres white men as the default holders of power, money, status and authority, is woven into the very fabric of society. It shows up in a million subtle - and not so subtle - ways: women playing small because they’ve been taught to be pleasing, quiet, polite and accommodating; women taking on the ‘invisible load’ of housework and kid-min; women being put down...

In her 30s, Sarah felt under huge pressure to find a partner and have children. As friends settled down and started families, she often felt left behind.

Send us a text On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I talk about what it really means to shift out of the background and into the lead role of your own life. We chat about how easy it is, especially for women, to unconsciously slip into a supporting role, putting everyone else’s needs first, waiting for the “right time,” or playing small out of habit rather than intention. We explore how being the main character doesn’t mean being loud or dramatic. It simply means taking up space in ...

Why aren’t we running like we are on fire towards our wildest dreams,” and get honest about fear, perfectionism, and waiting for permission. This is a nudge to choose aliveness over hesitation — pick a direction, take the tiniest step, keep it consistent, and stop treating your real life like a rehearsal.
