Six months ago, we had absolutely no idea what we were doing… and honestly, some days we still don’t 😅

But somehow between the tech disasters, emotional guest stories, late-night edits, continuous messages between each other, unexpected viral clips and therapy-session-level conversations… Becoming Lucy has been an incredible journey so far and now reaches listeners in 53 countries 🤯

In this special birthday episode, we look back at the moments that changed us, the guests that stayed with us long after recording stopped, and what six months of REAL conversations has taught us about identity, healing, confidence, grief, trauma, friendship and human connection 🫶🏻

We also play for the first time LIVE voice notes from some of our guests — including updates, life changes, emotional reflections and some moments we genuinely weren’t prepared for 🥹

From addiction, PMDD, suicide, miscarriage, IVF, toxic relationships and grief… to growth, humour, resilience and community — this episode is everything Becoming Lucy has become over the last six months.

And honestly? We’re just getting started 💛

✨ EXPECT:

• Emotional guest updates

• Unfiltered behind-the-scenes chaos

• The episodes that impacted us most

• What podcasting has taught us about ourselves

• Laughing, crying… and probably both at once

Thank you for supporting Becoming Lucy for the last 6 months. Whether you’ve listened to one episode or all of them — we honestly wouldn’t be here without you.

One moment, Charlotte was living a normal life with her family and dogs…

…and days later, she found herself trapped in every dog owner’s worst nightmare:

dog theft, blackmail, threats, trauma — and a story that would completely change her life.

But this episode goes far deeper than just the dog theft story.

In this powerful conversation, Lucy & Hana sit down with Charlotte and Cat, co-founders of The Authentic Girls Club, to talk about identity, motherhood, confidence, resilience, entrepreneurship, healing, and what happens when you realise the life you built no longer feels aligned with who you truly are.

From feeling lost, stuck and disconnected…

to building a movement helping women rediscover themselves and turn their “silly little dreams” into reality — this episode is raw, emotional, inspiring and deeply relatable.

Together they discuss:

✨ The emotional impact of dog theft and blackmail

✨ Motherhood, identity shifts & feeling lost

✨ Building confidence after trauma

✨ Women supporting women

✨ Entrepreneurship & creating The Authentic Girls Club

✨ Processing emotions, anxiety & healing

✨ Turning fear into growth

✨ Why authenticity changes everything

This is an episode about survival, self-discovery, resilience and becoming the person you were always meant to be.

You built a £1.4M business…

then got told you had 2 days to live.

In this episode of Becoming Lucy, we sit down with Moonii — entrepreneur, cancer survivor, and someone who’s lived through life at its absolute extremes.

From building a successful business from the ground up…

to a life-threatening leukaemia diagnosis, chemotherapy, sepsis, and even a coma…

This isn’t just a story about survival.

It’s about:

• Losing everything

• Facing death head-on

• And rebuilding your life from nothing — mentally, physically, and spiritually

Moonii opens up about the darkest moments, the impact on his identity and confidence, and how his support network quite literally kept him alive.

But what makes this story different…

is what came after.

A new purpose.

A mission to give back.

And a completely different perspective on life.

This episode will change how you see resilience.
