The Enoughness with Melanie Rickey

Stacey Duguid: Divorce, Toyboys & the Contentment vs. Happiness Debate


Listen Later

Have you ever wanted to throw your whole life up in the air—just to see where it lands? Journalist and author of In Pursuit of Happiness Stacey Duguid did exactly that four years ago, and if her life since then was a Netflix series, you’d binge it in one sitting—hiding behind your hands one minute and cheering her on the next.


In this episode, she joins me to unpack it all: love, divorce, reinvention, toyboys, and the hard lessons she’s learned while searching for—and not quite finding (yet!)—the fabled greener grass on the other side.


We dive into divorce taboos, dating disasters (one word: strangler), the surprising joy of ToyboyWarehouse.com, and why her boob job was the best money she’s ever spent. Stacey also shares her biggest never again moments, what she wishes she had done instead, and her essential advice for anyone contemplating divorce.


This episode is packed with deep—and often hilarious—life lessons: we get real about burnout, ADHD and the big one: if you know your enough, are you happy, or content?  And which is better?
