Suddenly Thirty Podcast
Suddenly Thirty
Suddenly Thirty is a podcast by Emily and Lilli. We are two friends who thought we would have it all figured out by thirty. After ticking all the so-called boxes; getting married, buying a home, becoming mothers and navigating careers, we were suddenly thirty and trying to find ourselves in the messiness of modern womanhood. Suddenly Thirty will bring you candid, lighthearted and unfiltered conversations about moving through careers, managing relationships, transitioning into motherhood and everything in between. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
