The Liberated Life - When Did You Last Feel Free?

How to Thrive (and Not Just Survive) Being Single In Your Thirties With Emma Wilson

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +0100

You have been to the weddings. All of them. You have stood in the wings of what feels like everyone else's life, smiling genuinely and also, privately, wondering when yours actually starts. You have told yourself you are fine with being single, and sometimes that has been true. You have also told yourself that the reason you are single must be something fundamentally wrong with you, and that has probably not been true either. In this episode, you will find out how to hold both of those things at once without collapsing into shame or false positivity. You will hear an honest conversation about the identities we build around being single, how those identities can quietly block the very thing we say we want, and why desire and availability are not the same thing. You will also hear about what happens after the fairy tale arrives, the part nobody warns you about, the grief of leaving your single self behind, the whiplash of suddenly sharing your life, the followers lost the day the bump was announced. And you will leave with something more useful than a framework. A sense of being seen in the place you actually are. Lucy is joined by Emma Healey, life coach, founder of The Turning Community, and someone who has lived every chapter of this conversation from the inside. Find out more at www.lucymaeve.com.

Why am I not happier? (and what to do about it)

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +0100

You are not broken. You are not ungrateful. But there is a good chance that somewhere along the way, in the pursuit of the next level, the next salary, the next thing to get right, you quietly lost access to delight. Not in a dramatic way. Just a slow, almost imperceptible compression of your experience of life until you can stand somewhere genuinely beautiful and feel almost nothing. In this episode, Lucy explores why this happens so specifically to high achievers, what it actually means to live from the shadow of seriousness, and why the answer is not a bigger holiday or a more radical life change. You will hear about a client session that cracked something open, about a poem that will stop you in your tracks, and about the Gene Keys concept that describes seriousness as the most widespread disease on the planet. You will hear what it looks like when someone reconnects with their own sense of presence through a painting on a wall and a memory of drawing on a beach in Greece with a stranger. And you will be reminded that the path from numbness to aliveness is not paved with grand gestures. It is paved with breakfast. With the weight of a mug in your hand. With the moment you actually taste something instead of moving straight on to the next thing. This episode is an invitation back to your own life. Find out more at www.lucymaeve.com.

Why do I feel lonely in my relationships? AI Relationships and the Fear of Being Left

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +0100

You might have started small. A question you weren't ready to ask a friend. Something you needed to process at 11pm when calling someone felt like too much. A thought you were a little embarrassed about and needed to say somewhere without consequence. It felt fine. Maybe even helpful. But there is something happening underneath that that is worth paying attention to before it quietly costs you more than you realise. In this episode, Lucy talks about why so many of us have started turning to AI for emotional support, why it feels safer than turning to the people in our lives, and what we are actually losing in making that swap. This is not an episode about AI being bad or about the man on Esther Perel's podcast who fell in love with a chatbot, though that is in here too. It is an episode about what real intimacy actually requires and why the thing that makes AI feel so relieving, the total absence of risk, is precisely the thing that makes it useless for the kind of healing that will actually change your life. You will hear why real connection is built not in the absence of fear but in the presence of it. Why the moment you say the scary thing to a real person and are not rejected is the moment something genuinely shifts. And why for high-achieving women in particular, having a place to quietly offload the parts of yourself you are not performing, without ever having to let a real person see them, might be keeping you more stuck and more lonely than you know.

Stepping Off The Game of Life and Unearthing The Witch Within with Alaina Crystal

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 06:30:00 +0100

You have done everything right. The impressive job, the serious career, the identity built around being the person who gets things done. And somewhere along the way, the parts of you that were creative, curious, maybe even a little bit magic, got quietly filed away under things other people get to do. In this episode, you'll get to hear from someone who was global head of strategy at an advertising agency, deeply embedded in the grind, and who has spent the last five years methodically, sometimes terrifyingly, stepping off what she calls the game of life path. Brand strategist, coach, hiking nonprofit founder, podcaster and self-described baby witch Alaina Crystal talks with Lucy about what it actually costs to build your entire identity around productivity, what opens up when you stop, and why the creative wellspring so many high-achieving women have buried doesn't disappear, it just waits. You'll hear about the relationship between spirituality and creativity, and why feeding your soul work first tends to make everything else better. You'll hear an honest conversation about what it means to want to work less hard, why that is one of the most radical and difficult things a woman in a big career can allow herself to say, and what has to shift inside you before it becomes possible to mean it. And at the end of the episode, Alaina pulls tarot for Lucy live on the podcast, which is exactly as electric as it sounds. Find out more at www.lucymaeve.com.

Am I a loser for going away alone?

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0100

You know how to hold it together in a room full of strangers. You know how to come across well, how to say the right things, how to make sure people see the version of you that has it sorted. You've probably been doing it so long you don't even notice it anymore. It just feels like personality. In this episode, you'll hear what it actually costs to live like that, and what becomes possible the moment you stop. Lucy shares the story of arriving at a retreat in Italy convinced she was a loser for going alone, spending the first few days performing impressiveness at people she'd never met before, and then something unexpected happening anyway. Slowly, without a five-step plan or a breakthrough moment, the armor started to come off. And in its place came something she hadn't felt in years: the experience of being genuinely seen. Not the polished version. The actual version. This episode explores what it means to let a room of people meet you as you actually are, why that is so terrifying for high-achieving women in particular, and why it tends to unlock the clarity that no amount of journaling or strategizing has been able to produce. You'll hear why a good retreat doesn't give you answers, and what it does instead. And you'll understand why the decisions that had felt impossible for years can suddenly feel completely obvious once you've had enough ground under your feet to trust what you already know. If you've been wondering whether something like this is for you, or whether you're the kind of person who does this sort of thing, this episode is probably the most honest answer you'll get.

Before you quit your job or leave your partner - listen to this

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:30:00 +0100

In this week’s episode of The Liberated Life, we explore the quiet fantasy so many of us carry that if we could just change the right external thing, life would finally feel better - a different job, a different partner, a different city, a different version of ourselves.

This episode unpacks why changing the outside rarely creates the fulfilment we hope it will, and why the same sense of “meh” can follow us even when life looks objectively good. We explore emotional numbness, the way high-achieving women often learn to override their feelings in order to succeed, and how that disconnection from the body slowly dulls not only the difficult emotions but also our capacity for joy, awe and aliveness.

Through personal stories and reflections, this conversation looks at the difference between chasing extraordinary experiences and learning to feel deeply present in ordinary moments, and why the real shift comes from rebuilding the internal ecosystem that allows life to land again. If you’ve ever looked at your life and quietly wondered why something still feels a little flat despite everything being “good”, this is an invitation to reconnect with your own sense of aliveness rather than continuing to chase it outside yourself.

Undoing the Good Girl Complex and Stepping to Audacious Living with Amy Lavinia

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0100

You know the version of you that has an opinion but doesn't say it. That has a desire but talks herself out of it. That works incredibly hard, gives generously, and quietly makes herself smaller so no one feels uncomfortable. You probably don't call it the good girl. You just call it being professional. Being considerate. Being realistic. In this episode, you'll find out why that pattern runs so deep, where it actually comes from, and why no amount of mindset work shifts it if you haven't looked at what's underneath. You'll understand why shrinking isn't a personality flaw, it's a protection strategy, and a very intelligent one at that. You'll hear what it actually looks and feels like to start moving out of it, not by becoming louder or more controversial, but by building enough inner trust that your desires finally get more airtime than your fears. And you'll leave knowing the difference between the audacity that's performed for attention and the kind that quietly changes everything. This conversation with erotic empowerment leader Amy Lavinia is the kind that makes you want to go and do the thing you've been sitting on.

Fine Is The Most Dangerous Word In The English Language

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0100

There is a word you say so automatically you don't even notice you're saying it anymore. Someone asks how you are and before you've even checked, before you've taken a single breath, it's already out of your mouth. Fine. And here's the thing about fine. It's not neutral. It's not just a social nicety. Every time you say it, you are training yourself that your actual experience doesn't matter enough to mention. That the complex, uncomfortable, beautiful, confusing truth of how you actually are is too much for the room. And somewhere in that habit is the reason so many high-achieving women feel deeply lonely inside lives that look completely together from the outside. In this episode, you'll understand why the word fine might be one of the most quietly destructive things you say on repeat, and what it costs you in connection, in intimacy, in the simple experience of being known. You'll learn what it actually takes to come back online after years of autopilot, and why one small shift in how you ask and answer that question can change the quality of every relationship you have. This is a short one. But it will stay with you.

What To Do When You’re Confused, Exhausted and Overwhelmed

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0100

You have read the books, listened to the podcasts, done the therapy, absorbed the frameworks. You know your attachment style, you understand your nervous system, you can articulate your patterns in impressive detail. And somehow, despite all of that, something still feels off. Stuck. Foggy. Like you're doing everything right and yet the thing you're actually looking for keeps not arriving. What if that isn't because you haven't found the right answer yet? What if it's because you've consumed so many answers that you can no longer hear your own? In this episode, you'll understand why the golden age of self-improvement might actually be making some of us more lost, not less. You'll hear why constantly reaching for the next framework, the next piece of content, the next explanation is the same outsourcing habit that got you here in the first place, just wearing different clothes. And you'll leave with something that no amount of information can give you: a little more space. Space to metabolize. Space to come back to yourself. Space to hear what was there all along underneath all the noise. This is the episode to listen to when you're exhausted from trying to figure it all out.

Microdosing, Big Journeys & the Lie of the Breakthrough: What No One Tells You With Alex Artzoglou

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0100

You have probably heard the word psychedelics and felt something. Curiosity, maybe. Fear, possibly. A quiet sense that there might be something there worth understanding, but you haven't quite known where to start or who to trust with the question. This episode is for you. In this conversation, you'll find out what psychedelics actually do in the body and brain, and why the experience is so radically different from what Nixon's war on drugs wanted you to believe. You'll understand why the most meaningful journeys happen not to people chasing a peak experience, but to people who have done enough self-awareness work to handle what comes up. You'll hear why integration is the piece the psychedelic industry consistently under-delivers on, and what it actually looks like to take an insight from a ceremony and turn it into lasting change in your nervous system, your relationships, and your life. And you'll leave knowing exactly where to start if any of this is calling you, without needing to dive into the deep end first. Lucy is joined by psychedelic integration coach Alexandra Artsaglu, who has studied alongside Gabor Maté and brings rigour, warmth and hard-earned wisdom to one of the most important conversations in modern healing.

The Ache: I keep telling myself it’ll just happen when I least expect it, but I don’t know if I believe that anymore

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0100

You have been told it will just happen when it happens. And for a while, you believed it. You went on the dates, you did the work, you read the books, you know your attachment style inside out. And yet here you are, still getting anxious with the ones who like you, still getting bored with the ones who are actually good for you, still watching everyone around you pair off while quietly wondering what is wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with you. But something is being missed in the advice you are being given, and this episode is about what that is. You will leave this episode understanding why waiting for it to just happen is not comforting, it is quietly disempowering, and why that narrative can cost you years. You will understand what is actually happening in your body when you sabotage something good, and why no amount of understanding it intellectually will change the pattern on its own. And you will hear, from someone who has been exactly where you are, what the real work looks like and why it is so much bigger and more life-changing than just finding a partner. This is the episode to listen to if you are tired of knowing better and still doing the same thing.

Trust in Love

Is It My Intuition or Is It Fear?

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0100

You've done enough personal work to know your patterns. You've read about attachment styles, you know your triggers, you've probably even done the therapy. And still, something keeps happening. The ones who feel electric tend to disappear. The ones who are actually available somehow feel wrong. Off. Too easy. Maybe even boring. In this episode, you'll find out why that is, and it's not what the red flag content on Instagram is telling you. You'll understand why anxiety in a healthy relationship is not the same as a warning sign, and why treating it like one might be the most expensive mistake you keep making. You'll hear why your nervous system is not trying to protect you from the wrong person, it might actually be trying to protect you from the right one. And you'll leave with a completely different way of reading what's happening inside you when things get close and real and a little bit terrifying. This is not about lowering your standards. It's about understanding the difference between what feels familiar and what is actually good for you. Because until you can tell those two things apart, the pattern runs the show.

Why We Are All Afraid Of Love, Healing Avoidance with Adam Slawson

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 12:39:34 +0100

You have probably dated an avoidant man. Maybe you are in a relationship with one right now. Maybe you have been told, or have quietly suspected, that you have some avoidance of your own. And yet almost everything out there about avoidant attachment is written from the outside looking in, which means you understand the pattern but you still have no real idea what is happening on the inside of it. This episode changes that. In this conversation, Lucy's first ever male guest opens up about what it actually feels like to wake up numb after the best date of your life, why men pull away from the very people they want most, and what the journey from avoidance to real intimacy has looked like from inside a male nervous system. You will leave with a completely different way of understanding the men in your life, not as people who don't care, but as people who are often terrified in ways they cannot name. You will also hear an honest conversation about what women carry towards men, the ancient anger that can poison the most loving relationships, and what it takes to build something that can hold both people without either one disappearing. This is one of the most raw and genuinely useful conversations about modern love and relating that the podcast has produced.

The Ache: Dating Feels Like a Threat to Everything I’ve Worked For

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0100

In this episode of The Ache, I respond to a listener who has built a life she genuinely loves — meaningful work, strong routines, solid friendships — yet feels a deep contraction at the thought of dating. Not because she doesn’t want intimacy, but because she’s afraid of losing herself again. Together, we explore why this fear makes so much sense, how self-abandonment is a learned nervous system pattern (not a personal failing), and why hyper-independence often forms after we’ve disappeared in love before. I unpack the tension between authenticity and attachment, share why relationships tend to activate old survival strategies, and reframe dating as a space for gentle awareness rather than self-betrayal. This episode is an invitation to stay close to yourself in connection, to notice when you drift, and to practice telling the truth — slowly, imperfectly, and with compassion — so intimacy no longer requires you to leave your body to be loved. If you’ve ever thought “my life is good, so why does love feel so scary?” this one is for you.

The Ache Submission

Why It’s Never A Good Idea To Chase A Man With Ham

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0100

In this episode, I tell a very real story about a date that sent me spiralling: lonely, anxious, overthinking everything, and somehow ended with me chasing a man down the street holding a packet of ham. (Yes, really.) What starts as a funny moment opens into something much deeper: the ache beneath dating anxiety, the quiet panic of feeling unchosen, and the old relational wiring that gets activated when connection starts to matter. I share what was actually happening in my body, how childhood dynamics were playing out in real time, and why these moments aren’t evidence that you’re “too much” or doing dating wrong, they’re signals. This conversation is about relational anxiety, responsibility without self-blame, and the moment we stop trying to perform our way into love and start listening to what our bodies are protecting us from. If you’ve ever wondered why dating can make you feel a bit unhinged, why loneliness hits hardest when you’re trying not to need anyone, or why you keep repeating the same patterns even though you “know better”, this one’s for you. Not a how-to. Not a fix. Just an honest invitation to meet yourself with more truth, humour, and compassion, and maybe stop chasing men with processed meat along the way.→ Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve

The Pleasure Rebellion: Dismantling Rigidity in How We Relate with Bel Litsek

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0100

In this episode of The Liberated Life, I sit down with psychologist and pleasure mentor Bel Litsek to unravel the quiet violence of self-control—and why the path to the love we crave isn’t found through effort or perfection, but through erotic aliveness and nervous system safety. We talk about why Instagram is distorting how we relate and making us perform instead of connect, how the love most of us were taught to want is actually about ownership, not intimacy, why “getting rid of rigidity” isn’t the point—and what it actually wants to teach us, and how pleasure disrupts trauma patterns, unlocks deep softness, and becomes the foundation for sovereign, satisfying love. This one’s a soft rebellion. A sacred remembering. And a call to let pleasure do the work.→ Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve

The Ache: I Should Be Grateful For My Life But I Feel Lonely

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +0100

In this episode of The Ache, I respond to a listener who describes a quiet, persistent loneliness despite having a full life, a successful career, close friendships, travel, and years of personal growth. We explore why gratitude doesn’t cancel longing, why independence doesn’t erase the need to be met, and how it’s possible to feel proud of your life while still grieving the one you imagined. I speak about complex, often unacknowledged grief, the grief of timing, identity, and unrealised futures, and why this kind of ache doesn’t mean something has gone wrong. Drawing on Carl Jung’s understanding of loneliness, we look at how loneliness is not always about the absence of people, but about the absence of somewhere for what matters most inside us to land. This episode is an invitation to stop shaming the ache, to allow two truths to coexist, and to let longing be meaningful without turning it into a verdict on your life.→ Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve→ Join the waitlist for the group programme

Why You Become Your 12-Year-Old Self at Christmas (and What It Means for Your Love Life)

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +0100

If Christmas leaves you feeling more activated than festive… this episode is your permission slip to breathe. In today’s solo episode, we explore why going home for the holidays can pull you straight back into old patterns — the people-pleasing, the shrinking, the performing, the overthinking — even after all the therapy, the journaling, the self-awareness. Because the truth is: your family isn’t the trigger; your family is the blueprint. In this conversation, we dive into why being around family reactivates your nervous system, the identity you slip into at home (and how it shows up in dating too), the avoidant, anxious, and shutdown patterns that surface during the holidays, how Christmas can become a portal into real relational healing, five gentle things to notice in your body this week, and a simple regulation practice you can use anytime you feel yourself spiralling. This episode isn’t about fixing yourself; it’s about seeing yourself — clearly, tenderly, honestly. Because everything that gets activated around your family at Christmas is the same thing that gets activated in your relationships. When you learn to meet it with curiosity instead of self-judgment, everything begins to shift.→ Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve→ Join the waitlist for the group programme→ FREE breathing Practice

Why do I fancy someone else when I have a loving partner?

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +0100

In today’s episode, I introduce a new series called The Ache - a space where we explore the truths most women hide behind polished exteriors: the shame, the longing, the patterns that feel impossible to break. Our first submission speaks to a common but rarely admitted experience: “I love my fiancé, but every time I see this other guy, I forget my values. I feel lit up, obsessed, pulled toward him… and then ashamed. I don’t want to sabotage what I have, but I can’t seem to stop.” In this episode, we unravel what’s really happening beneath behaviour that looks “wrong” on the surface but makes perfect sense somatically. We explore why your system might feel more alive with the wrong person than with the right one, why stability can feel threatening if you grew up around unpredictable love, and why your body might confuse familiar activation with attraction. This conversation goes into the deeper layers - the younger parts who still expect love to come with anxiety, the self-protective patterns that show up as sabotage, and the real question underneath cheating: Who do you get to be with this other man that you don’t feel allowed to be in your relationship? This episode isn’t about justifying behaviour - it’s about understanding it. Because you can’t change a pattern you’re still shaming yourself for.

Why We Are All Scared Of Women

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +0100

In this episode, we explore the truth most women feel but rarely admit out loud: the fear of female intimacy, the awkwardness of walking into a room full of women, and the part of you that signs up for a group or retreat and then immediately thinks, “F***… what have I done?” We dive into the history of the sisterhood wound — how patriarchy separated women on purpose, how witch hunts traumatised female community, and how modern girlhood reinforces comparison, exclusion, and competition. We unpack how this wound shows up today as hyper-independence, intimidation, anxiety in women-only spaces, or the quiet belief that you don’t belong with other women. And we talk about what becomes possible when women feel safe together: deep regulation, co-healing, belonging, and the softening that can only happen in female community. If you’ve been feeling the pull toward women’s circles, groups, or retreats but the fear is loud, this episode will help you understand exactly why — and why that “f****” feeling is often the sign that something powerful is opening.

A Witch In Love With A Muggle with Louise Lewis

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0100

What happens when your partner doesn’t get your path—but you love them anyway?

In this intimate, no-holds-barred conversation, we explore the complex dance of staying true to your calling when the person you share your home with doesn’t speak your spiritual language.

Together, we unpack:

• The moment you realize your partner can’t meet you on the same frequency and how that lands in the body

• What it’s really like to build a purpose-led or “witchy” business with someone who’s skeptical

• The quiet ways women shrink—or shape-shift—to make love feel safer

• Navigating the line between honoring your magic and not making him the villain

• How to protect your softness without going silent

• The difference between spiritual compatibility and relational compatibility (and why it matters)

This one’s for the woman whispering her truth in a house that doesn’t quite hear it yet.

You’re not silly. You’re not alone.

And no, you don’t have to choose between love and liberation.

You're Not Irrational, You Just Can't Think Your Way Out Of It

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0100

If you’ve ever tried to “figure it out” — to logic your way out of anxiety, shame, or heartbreak — and still found yourself looping in the same patterns, this episode is for you. Lucy dives into why healing attachment wounding through the mind doesn’t work — because the body doesn’t speak the language of logic. It speaks in sensations, impulses, contractions, and the deep, wordless memory of what love once cost you. You’ll hear why your emotional reactions aren’t irrational, even when they feel that way — and how your body’s “irrational” responses are actually intelligent — shaped by the relationships that taught you what was safe (and what wasn’t). Lucy explores how to begin reconnecting with the body — not to control or bypass it — but to finally listen. Because until you feel safe in your body, your mind will keep running in circles trying to protect you. This is a powerful listen for anyone who’s exhausted from “doing the work,” but still feels stuck, self-critical, or secretly afraid they’re just broken. You’re not. You’re just healing in the wrong language.

The Mess, Beauty and Wildness of Womanhood with Kat Johnson

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0100

What happens when the life you’ve built no longer fits—when the version of you that once made sense starts to feel like a costume you can’t breathe in? In this episode of The Liberated Life, Lucy sits down with Kat Johnson, a holistic practitioner who, at forty, walked away from a twenty-year career in life sciences to follow a truth she could no longer ignore. Her body said enough. And she listened. Together, they explore what it really means to be the heroine between peaks—that raw, tender space between who you were and who you’re becoming. It’s not the glossy “after” moment. It’s the in-between: the unraveling, the trusting, the choosing-yourself-anyway. They flow through the edge Kat’s been sitting in since leaving a career of certainty for a path of purpose; the truth they both wish more women would say out loud about healing and “having it all together”; the often-unspoken realities of growth, motherhood, and what it takes to let your identity evolve; and the deep wisdom that comes from honouring your body’s no, even when your mind screams stay. This is a conversation about the wildness of following your gut when logic says don’t, and the grace it takes to live between the peaks—where the truest kind of growth happens. ✨ For the woman standing at her own edge, wondering if she can trust the fall. You can. Your body already knows the way.

The Identity Alchemist with River Ayla

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0100

What happens when the version of you that everyone admires… starts to feel like a costume?

In this raw and resonant conversation, I sit down with a woman who has shapeshifted through many lives—corporate high-flyer, healer, energy worker—and who knows firsthand the cost of clinging to identities that no longer fit.

We explore what it really takes to step out of performance and into presence. How trauma can keep us fused to old roles. And why grief is the often-ignored portal to personal liberation.

Inside the episode, we explore:

• Why letting go of “the impressive one” can feel like death

• The sacred grief work beneath every transformation

• Invisible patterns high-achieving women carry in their nervous systems

• What true readiness for change sounds, feels, and looks like

• The truth about what happens when you stop proving and start living

If you’ve been teetering on the edge of your old life—terrified to let go but aching for more—this one’s for you. Come listen. Come exhale. Come remember who you were before the world told you who to be.

Why You Nail It at Work and Lose It in Love

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 05:00:00 +0100

We’ve become professionally overdeveloped and relationally underdeveloped — brilliant at holding it all together, but not always safe enough to let ourselves be seen. In this episode, Lucy shares how her own mask of achievement became armour, and what it takes to feel safe in love, truth, and connection. You’ll explore why success can feel easier than intimacy, how control replaces safety, and what happens when you finally let yourself be real. You don’t need to shrink to be loved — you just need to feel safe enough to stay.

What to do when it feels like you don't fit in your life anymore

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 05:00:00 +0100

In this episode, I’m getting real about what it’s been like to return to London after years abroad—the grief that comes with endings, the nostalgia that sneaks up when you least expect it, and the quiet stress that commitment can stir in the body.

It’s an honest reflection on change, how it reshapes our relationships, our sense of home, and the parts of us that no longer fit the old life we left behind. I share what it’s been teaching me about sitting with uncertainty, softening into decisions that don’t have clean answers, and trusting that clarity comes through living, not forcing.

If you’ve ever felt torn between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming, this one’s for you.

The Secret Shame of the Forever Single Woman

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0100

In this raw and deeply personal episode, I talk about something I’ve never said out loud: the journey through my 20s of never having had a real, long-term relationship. No big love story. No one who fully chose me. And for years, I thought that meant I was broken. I share the hidden pain of being the "forever single girl" - the shame, the birthdays spent crying, the stories I believed about my worth. But I also share what I didn’t understand back then - the truth I had to uncover in my body, not in books or boyfriends. This episode is for every woman who’s never been chosen and thinks that means something about her. It doesn’t. And I hope this conversation helps you feel less alone - and more powerful in your becoming.

Why You Need A Break From Your Echo Chamber

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0100

In this episode, I share the story of just coming back from a retreat myself, the fear, the wobble, the unexpected breakthroughs, and why it reminded me so deeply that you can’t heal in the same room that hurt you. I talk about what happens when you step outside your everyday life and into a retreat “portal,” where the noise of the world falls away and you finally have space to see yourself clearly. I open up about the power of group work versus one-on-one, how retreats create deep connection and lifelong friendships, and why healing isn’t meant to happen in isolation. I also share what I carried home with me, clarity around my patterns, and the chance to choose differently, and why I believe every woman deserves to experience that shift.

Emotional Intelligence, Infidelity and the Experience of The Other Woman with Dr Holly Symons

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 05:00:00 +0100

What really happens when love becomes a triangle? On this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Dr. Holly Symons, a clinical psychologist with a profound focus on emotional intelligence. Dr. Symons shares insights from her groundbreaking dissertation on the lived experience of the 'other woman' in triangular relationships. Together, we explore the emotional complexity, hidden dynamics, and relational patterns that often unfold in these situations. This conversation challenges black-and-white thinking about infidelity and invites a deeper look into what such relationships reveal about longing, shame, and unmet needs. Whether you've experienced triangulation firsthand or are simply curious about what drives such dynamics, this episode is packed with wisdom and compassion. Talking Points • Psychological patterns and affairs: Why people enter these dynamics - from those who cheat to those who find themselves the 'other woman.' • Breaking down infidelity myths: Common misunderstandings, oversimplifications, and how moral binaries fail to tell the whole story. • The emotional blueprint of the 'other woman': What drives her choices, and what’s often lurking beneath the surface. • Power, attention, and longing: Exploring the deeper psychological undercurrents behind triangulated love. • Shame’s role in relational triangles: How shame obscures core wounds and unmet needs, and what’s necessary for healing. • Life after the triangle: Dr. Symons unpacks how being ‘the other’ can impact identity, self-worth, and attachment patterns moving forward. • Patterns or rupture? Are triangular relationships typically a one-time event, or do they form repeating cycles? • Compassionate support beyond binaries: How society’s fixation on right/wrong keeps us from understanding the full complexity of love.

The Mask of The High Achiever

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 05:00:00 +0100

What if the thing you're best at — the thing everyone praises you for — is also the thing you're hiding behind? In this episode, I’m exploring how work, competence, and high achievement can quietly become a mask. A place where we feel safe, validated, and in control… but also a place where we hide from the messier, more vulnerable parts of life. We explore why being “good at work” can become your whole identity, how we avoid the areas where we feel less skilled — like relationships, intimacy, or rest, the shame of being a beginner in places that actually matter, why growth often means letting yourself be “bad” at something and still feel worthy, and what it looks like to gently stretch beyond your safe zone of competence — and come home to your wholeness. This isn’t about abandoning ambition. It’s about noticing where success might be standing in for self-protection — and creating space to be fully human, not just professionally excellent. This episode is for you if: You’ve built your sense of self around being good at your job. You avoid emotional risks but feel overexposed at work. You feel stuck or underdeveloped in love, creativity, or rest. You secretly fear being “bad” at vulnerability or intimacy.

🖤 Mentioned in the episode: • The Safe Identity of Competence • Why we abandon what we’re not good at • The difference between safety and stuckness • Small ways to reclaim your humanity outside of your job

What if I never reach my potential?

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 05:00:00 +0100

For years, I had a recurring fear, waking in the middle of the night, heart racing, with the thought: What if I never reach my potential? I thought that meant I needed to be more successful, more visible, more impressive. But the more I achieved, the more that restless feeling lingered. In this episode, I share the deeper truth I came to discover: that my fear wasn’t about failure or ambition — it was about aliveness. We explore: why our culture equates potential with productivity; the hidden cost of chasing external success; the subtle shame of “not enoughness” so many of us carry; what it really means to live into your full human potential; and how to begin reclaiming it — not by doing more, but by feeling more. This is an invitation to stop striving and start softening. To redefine success on your own terms. To remember that your potential lives not in what you achieve, but in how fully you allow yourself to be. If you’re someone who has ever felt like you’re not living up to your potential (and secretly blamed yourself for it); feels professionally successful but emotionally flat; is tired of performing and ready to feel more alive; wants to live a life that feels rich, not just impressive… this one’s for you. Mentioned in the episode: the myth of “performance potential”; aliveness as the true measure of success. → Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve → https://lucymaeve133.lpages.co/the-liberated-life-retreat-2026/

Your Wild Is The Way - with Annette Muller

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 05:00:00 +0100

What if the ache you feel in relationships isn’t about being too much — or not enough — but about being unmothered? In this powerful and reverent episode, I sit down with my wonderful friend Annette for a conversation that stretches beyond therapy rooms and deep into the bones of womanhood, embodiment, and matriarchal memory. We explore: what matriarchal tribes can teach us about love, power, and belonging; why rites of passage into womanhood matter — and what happens when they’re missing; the importance of rooting into our inner winters, not just blooming in our inner summers; embodiment beyond aesthetics — what it really means to live from the body; and the healing that happens when we reconnect to the earth, our sexuality, and the wisdom of birth. This one is for the women holding it all together while quietly wondering, why do I still not feel ok? It’s not your fault. It’s your body calling you home. → Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve - Annette's teacher is Heide Göttner-Abendroth: https://goettner-abendroth.de/en/biography @annettemuller https://houseofana.substack.com/

You’re Not Alone In Having Conflicting Voices In Your Head - The Key To Relational Healing

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 05:00:00 +0100

What if your mind isn’t just one unified voice, but instead a dynamic collection of different parts, each with its own needs, fears, and purpose? In this episode, we unpack the concept of the “many parts” of the mind and explore how understanding these internal voices can transform the way we approach relationships and heal emotional wounds. Here’s what we’ll cover: the difference between the “mono mind” and the “many parts” of the mind; why curiosity and self-inquiry are vital for uncovering what’s really driving your emotions and decisions; how to spot when a part of your mind is disguising itself as intuition (and how to tell the difference); and real-world examples of how these parts shape women’s relationship challenges, from fear of vulnerability to choosing unsuitable partners. Packed with insights, practical tips, and compassionate advice, this episode is perfect for anyone ready to take a deeper look at their inner world and foster more meaningful connections. → Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve → Learn more about 1:1 coaching

Why You Feel “Behind” and What To Do About It

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 10:50:18 +0100

When you don’t feel like you belong, you start to shrink. Sometimes it’s obvious — biting your tongue in a meeting, agreeing to things you don’t want, saying “I’m fine” when you’re not. Other times it’s subtle — the way you downplay your achievements, the way you soften your edges so you’ll still be invited in. Coming back to London after time away brought this into sharp focus for me. Suddenly I was surrounded by people making huge money… and I felt behind. That old contraction showed up, the same one I’d felt when I was single and watching friends pair off, when I told myself I didn’t quite fit in the group anymore. In this episode, we explore: why moments of “I’m behind” often have nothing to do with money or dating, and everything to do with worth; how our nervous system shapes whether we feel safe to belong; the quiet cost of contorting ourselves to fit in — in work, in love, in life; and what it means to come into right relationship with money, love, and most importantly, yourself. This is for you if you’ve ever compared your salary, relationship status, or life milestones… and felt the sting of “not enough.” → Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve → Learn more about 1:1 coaching

The Myth of “Making It” and the Magic of the Messy Middle with Laura Wheatley

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0100

What if the version of success you’ve been chasing isn’t actually what your soul needs? In this heart-opening conversation, I’m joined by my dear friend and former client, Laura — a radiant, real-deal human who knows both the ache of trying to “get it right” and the freedom that comes when you stop trying to perfect your way to peace. Together, we explore the tender terrain of the messy middle — the in-between season where nothing feels certain, but everything is shifting. We talk about the illusion of “making it,” and how perfectionism often hides behind our love of learning, achievement, or constant self-improvement. Laura shares what it’s looked like to reclaim joy, to trust her body’s signals, and to soften into being seen — without needing to be polished. We also wander into some delightfully unexpected territory: from the role of AI in creativity to how we perform healing even while longing to be held. In this episode, we explore: why “making it” is often just another form of pressure, the role perfectionism plays in learning, growth, and visibility, the difference between reaching from joy vs. reaching to prove, how to stay with yourself in the messy middle, what embodiment really looks like in seasons of change, and a gentle truth for anyone stuck in the loop of not-enoughness. This one’s for the woman who feels like she’s always becoming. Who’s tired of pretending she’s fine. Who’s ready to build a life that holds her — as she is, not as she should be. Let it land. Let it soften you. → Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve → Laura’s Website

The Art of Taking Yourself Less Seriously

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 05:00:00 +0100

Ever found yourself in a room of open-hearted women drumming to meet their spirit animals and thought — who have I become?! Yeah. Same. In this week’s off-the-cuff episode, I take you inside a shamanic drumming circle, where I half-laughed, half-cringed my way into meeting… a dragonfly. Not exactly the soaring hawk or stoic wolf I imagined. But she had something to teach me. This episode is a tender-meets-hilarious reflection on what it means to move through life lightly — even when it all feels a bit absurd. We talk spiritual skepticism, the Gene Key journey from seriousness to ecstasy, and how Aldous Huxley became an unexpected guide. If you’ve ever felt heavy and oh so serious or just needed a reminder that you’re allowed to play your way free, this one’s for you. In this episode: the power animal I didn’t ask for (and what she revealed anyway), where delight fits into the healing journey, a poetic pause from Aldous Huxley, letting go of the need to “get it right” in spiritual spaces, and why life doesn’t have to be so serious. Come dance through the medicine with me. Sometimes the lesson isn’t in going deeper — it’s in going lighter. → Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve → Learn more about 1:1 coaching

Don’t Just Listen to Your Body - Get Curious With It

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +0100

We’ve all heard it: “Just listen to your body.” But what if your body says run the moment someone offers you real safety? What if the flutter you chase is actually your nervous system reenacting old wounds? In this episode, I unpack the nuance behind somatic cues — especially in relationships — and why your first bodily response isn’t always the most trustworthy. If you've ever ghosted a good man, got the ick for “no reason,” or felt bored by someone kind and steady… this one's for you. This is a conversation about what happens beneath the surface. About how trauma speaks through sensation. About learning to tell the difference between a true no and a nervous system flare-up. Because embodiment isn’t just about following the body's lead. It’s about listening with discernment. Inside, we explore: why “just listen to your body” can be misleading, what’s really happening when you get the ick with someone kind, and how to inquire into the body instead of blindly obeying it. → Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve → Learn more about 1:1 coaching → FREE DOWNLOAD: 3-Part Audio Series: Done with Almost — For the woman who’s done the work… but still ends up alone.

The Taboo of Cheating, Shame and What It Take To Find Love - with Alex Croxford

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +0100

What happens when you’re the one who crossed the line? In this deeply honest conversation, I sit down with transformational love and relationship coach Alex Croxford to talk about a kind of betrayal that doesn’t get much airtime — the kind where you’re the one who cheated. Together, we explore what it really takes to come home to yourself after breaking trust, and why cheating, especially by women, is still so taboo. Alex shares her personal story of infidelity and divorce, and the radical self-truths she had to face in order to truly heal. We talk about the deep conditioning around being a “good girl,” how shame can keep you stuck in cycles of self-abandonment, and why you’re not inherently bad if you’ve cheated. This episode is a reclamation, for the woman who feels broken, unworthy, or beyond repair. For the woman who's still trying to outrun what she did, or what was done to her. In this episode, we explore: why self-abandonment — not desire — is often the root of cheating, what emotional intimacy actually requires in a relationship, the truth about shame and female infidelity, how to reconnect to love, desire, and self-trust after rupture, and why you don’t need to be the “good girl” to be worthy of love. This conversation is for the woman who thought healing meant punishment — when really, it means coming home. — Connect with Alex: Instagram: @iamalexcroxford → Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve → Learn more about 1:1 coaching

Why Shame Is The Birthplace of Liberation

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +0100

We’re told to let it go. To get over it. To tuck it neatly into a box, never to be touched again. But shame doesn’t disappear just because we pretend it’s not there. It buries itself deep — in our bodies, our breath, our nervous systems — and quietly scripts our lives. In this episode, we go there. Into the raw, holy mess of shame. I talk about the collective denial we live in around our shame, and the quiet violence of hiding the parts of ourselves we’ve deemed unworthy. I share where shame actually comes from, why it makes sense that we carry it, and what becomes possible when we finally stop running. You’ll hear: the real cost of carrying shame in silence, how transmuting shame can unlock life force (and what that looked like for me after being trolled), why embodiment — not insight — is what liberates us, and a sacred secret invitation that might just change everything. This is not just an episode — it’s an invocation. If you’ve ever felt like you had to perform, please others, or hide your truth to be loved, this one’s for you. It’s the crux of the work I do and the gateway to building a life big enough to hold all of you. → Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve → Learn more about 1:1 coaching → Join Shameless

Self-Abandonment — The Habit That Keeps You Stuck

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +0100

You’re not stuck because you’re broken. You’re stuck because you keep leaving yourself behind. In this episode, I speak to the quiet ache so many women carry — the ache of living lives that look good on the outside but feel hollow underneath. We explore the roots of self-abandonment, from mother wounds to internalized praise, and how it’s still playing out in your “functioning.” If you’ve ever found yourself nodding yes when everything in your body whispered no — or felt like the “easy” one in rooms that couldn’t hold your depth — this one’s for you. I share personal stories, somatic truths, and spiritual reminders that will stir something in you. Not to shame. But to bring you back. You’ll hear about: the early templates we inherited around being “good” and staying small, how high-achieving women unconsciously abandon themselves daily, why breathwork cracked something open in me — and how it might for you, and the slow, sacred practice of returning to yourself. → Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve → Learn more about 1:1 coaching → Download my FREE 7 Days Back to You

When You Betray Yourself (and Others) — Meeting the Parts You’d Rather Hide

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 05:00:00 +0100

This one wasn’t planned. It just needed to come through. In today’s off-the-cuff episode, I’m speaking into the gritty, complex terrain of self-betrayal — the parts of us that act from pain, not alignment. The things we do that we swore we never would. The moments that split us from ourselves. I share a recent experience of being trolled after posting something vulnerable online — how it cracked open a deeper conversation about shame, courage, and compassion for the parts of us we’re still learning how to love. In this episode, we explore: why high-functioning women still carry unprocessed shame, what happens when we act out from a part of us that's deeply hurt, how the “good girl” identity keeps us stuck in binary thinking, the liberating truth that we are not just one self — but many, and why healing means turning toward, not away, from the parts that scare us. If you’ve ever done something that made you question who you are… if you’ve ever been scared that your darkness makes you unlovable… this one’s for you. → Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve → Learn more about 1:1 coaching

When You Break: The Edge Between Fear & Freedom

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 05:00:00 +0100

In today’s raw and unfiltered episode, I share something deeply personal — a moment I broke. Full-body sobs. Snot and all. The kind of moment that strips away the masks and brings you face to face with truth. I’ve been dancing at the edge — between the life I was taught to want and the one my soul came here to create. And in this episode, I name the fear that’s been whispering (and sometimes screaming) beneath the surface: fear of failure, fear I made a mistake, fear that I’m not cut out for this wild and liberated path. This is for you if you’ve ever wondered: “What if I got it wrong?” “What if I go back?” “What if I keep going…?” This is a love letter to the part of you that’s terrified — and still moving forward. You’re not broken. You’re remembering. And you don’t have to do it alone. In this episode, we explore: what it really feels like when the old self grips tight, why pretending, pushing, and performing no longer work, how fear can disguise itself as logic or nostalgia, the soul-stretching moment of standing on the edge between safety and truth, and an invitation to walk the path of liberation, with support. → Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve → Learn more about 1:1 coaching

The Voice Beneath the Lump in Your Throat: Why You Feel So Trapped

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 18:19:44 +0100

So much of feeling stuck — emotionally, relationally, spiritually — comes back to one thing: we’re not saying what’s true. In this raw, unfiltered solo episode, recorded just after a Diamond Approach session, I talk about what it really means to reclaim your voice — and how the inability to speak truth is often what keeps us trapped in lives, relationships, and dynamics that don’t reflect who we are. I share: the link between emotional shutdown and unexpressed truth, how not having language for your needs, emotions, or boundaries creates chronic loneliness, why so many high-functioning women feel trapped — not because of their circumstances, but because they can’t express what’s happening inside, the ancestral layers of female silence — and what it means to reclaim voice in a culture that has punished feminine expression for generations, and a reminder that we are finally safe enough to speak — and why reclaiming your voice is an act of liberation, not just communication. If you’ve ever felt like no one gets you… if you shut down in conflict, or freeze when it’s time to ask for what you need… if you’re tired of being “chill” when your body is screaming… this one’s for you. If this resonated, send it to a woman who’s still biting her tongue. The truth wants out.

Why You Keep Getting the Ick

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 18:18:40 +0100

If you're someone who keeps getting the ick — even when the person seems kind, emotionally available, and “right on paper” — this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, I’m exploring: why the ick can feel like truth but is often just protection, how our nervous system confuses safety with boredom, the very personal moment I realised the ick wasn’t about them — it was about my fear, what changed when I did a year-long trauma-informed coaching training in sex, love, and relationships, and how we unconsciously push away the thing we’re craving most: real intimacy. This is especially for the women who’ve done a lot of inner work — the therapy, the books, the healing. You’re self-aware. You know your patterns. But you still find yourself spiralling when someone nice shows up… and wondering, “Why do I always do this?” You're not broken. You’re just wired for something that once felt safer than love. Let’s unpack what the ick is really telling you — and how to start trusting something deeper. Send it to your friend who’s dating in the trenches, or share it on IG and tag me. You never know who’s quietly asking themselves: “Why do I always get the ick?”. → Follow me on Instagram: @lucy__maeve → Learn more about 1:1 coaching → FREE DOWNLOAD: 3-Part Audio Series: Done with Almost — For the woman who’s done the work… but still ends up alone.

You’re Not Broken - You’re Trapped

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 18:17:33 +0100

You have the job, the flat, the friends, the wardrobe. You have, by most measures, a good life. And yet. There it is again, that quiet pull. The one you push down on Sunday evenings. The one that shows up in the pause between one achievement and chasing the next. The one that sounds a lot like: is this actually it? In this episode, you'll find out why that feeling isn't a flaw in your character, it's a signal. You'll understand the difference between a life that looks like freedom and one that actually feels like it, and why so many high-achieving women are living the former while quietly grieving the latter. You'll hear the moment that cracked Lucy's own carefully constructed life open, and why it happened somewhere she least expected it. And you'll leave with something most podcasts won't give you: permission to stop performing and start asking the question you've been afraid to ask out loud. This is The Liberated Life. Not a self-help show. Not a fix. An honest conversation for women who are done pretending the version of themselves the world sees is the whole story. If you've ever sat in the middle of everything you worked for and felt a particular loneliness you couldn't quite name, this episode is where it starts to make sense.

Is This It? The Question That Changed Everything

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 17:24:47 +0100

You've built the life. The career, the flat, the holidays, the friends who think you have it together. And somewhere inside all of that, there's a voice you've been keeping very quiet. Not because you don't trust it. Because you're afraid of what it might say. The Liberated Life is a podcast for women who are done pretending the version of themselves they show the world is the whole story. Hosted by Lucy Maeve, somatic coach and former corporate woman who spent a decade achieving her way into disconnection, this is a space that doesn't ask you to be further along than you are, or to wrap your pain in something prettier than it is. In this trailer, Lucy shares what brought her here, what cracked her life open, and what this podcast is going to ask of you and offer you in return. If you've ever sat in the middle of a life that looks right and felt the particular loneliness of knowing something is off but not being able to name it, this is the space that was made for you. Real conversations. Honest questions. No silver bullets and no goddess vibes. Just the kind of depth that actually moves things. Find out more at www.lucymaeve.com
