In a first for the Turning 30 Podcast, I have invited my own life and business coach, Nicole Oren, to talk all about how we can learn to make better decisions, even when these decisions are tough and we have been delaying making them for a while.   Decision-making is something that so many of us struggle with and proclaim that we are ‘bad at’, but it is a skill that we have to master if we want to...

The third instalment of my guest interviews is with Amar, who left a seven year career in the finance industry to pursue full time his writing side-hustle that had taken off during the pandemic. In the episode we dive into: the expectations of turning 30 on your career, how to shift your identity from the prestige and normalisation of being in a ‘good, well-respected’ position, how to deal with ma...

For most of us, a life where we hit all the milestones and tick all the ‘right’ boxes in our twenties is a path we were never on in the first place. But this is not the case for all of us. There are those who go through their twenties and successfully tick off all of the correct checklists and hit the milestones that society adores so much at exactly the expected time: Stable job in revered profes...

For so many of us, the past two years have seen our careers taking big, unexpected turns: leaving positions, setting up own side-hustles and businesses and making unplanned career pivots. When my client Liv reached out to me in January 2021, she had reached a huge crossroads in her career and was ready to make some big decisions about what to do next. After over 10 years of working in the events i...

I LOVE quitting!! And now I want to tell you my story of how quitting led me to a career that I'm in love with.

Come with me on a journey through the times when I have quit throu...

I have invited Certified Nutrition Coach Lauren Allen onto the podcast this week for an educational and eye-opening episode all about how to eat your way to better fertility.

Lauren shares her amazing story from being told she...

Last month I turned 35 and entered a time of true self-reflection. In this solo episode I share some personal musings on how it feels to be this age and what I think many of you would like to know about turning 35. Some of the topics I dive into are: Why turning 35 is a challenging age as a single woman and how to release from age-related pressure My thoughts on the 35 fertility cliff myth, how to...

When we are growing up, many of us are told that we are capable of achieving anything in life that we want.   A good career? You go and get it! Move to a new city? Go for it! A great social life? All yours. A committed, long-term relationship? Of course it will happen for you!   But what happens when you get to 35 and you haven’t ticked off everything on the list? What happens when a relationship...

Today’s episode is about a topic that so many of us avoid talking about but has such a significant impact on the way we feel about being in our thirties: MONEY.  I have invited Ellie Austin-Williams onto the podcast for one of my most interesting guest interviews yet.

In honor of opening my Reclaim group coaching Program for the second time, I have a really special episode for you all today.    I invited three incredible women who completed the Reclaim Program in March to join me in sharing their stories of taking back control of their 30's.    In this episode you will hear all three of their journeys and what it was like for them before and after the program,...

In this bonus episode I am also sharing a short story of what happened to me a few months ago after I saw a photo of an ex of mine and how it catapulted me into a comparison spiral.   Because, sometimes, this happens- and even as a coach, I am not immune to these things!   This experience reminded me why it is so important to Reclaim your thirties and take control of your future.   That’s exactly...

Today I am sharing a solo episode that I recorded in 2021 on what I believe is the most game-changing concept that I share with my clients: Emotional Adulthood.   As I am getting ready to invite you all to me next Reclaim group, I have been reviewing the work I have done with past clients and their testimonials, and almost every client I have worked with says learning about emotional adulthood and...

What does it mean to choose the alternative path? Sometimes in life we make decisions that aren’t exactly what our younger selves had in mind. Sometimes in life we make life choices that those around us don’t fully ‘get’, or that aren’t in line with the choices of our parents or peers. It takes a certain amount of courage to be able to stay true to yourself and do what is really calling you, and t...

In honour of the 50th episode of the Turning 30 Podcast, I’ve invited back one of my favourite guest speakers from the first few episodes: break-up coach Dorothy Johnson.   Whereas last time we did a deep dive into the topic of breaking up in your thirties, this time we are in conversation all about building your next chapter when life throws you curveballs that you didn’t plan for.   We so often...

This week’s podcast episode is a replay of one of the most popular Turning 30 episodes from 2021.   When our big birthdays loom, whether it be 30, 40, 50 or beyond- we often see this as a signpost to check in with ourselves and evaluate where we are in life. A lot of us come to the conclusion that we aren’t doing life 'right', and that we have ‘f*cked up’ when our lives don’t look like we expected...

Let’s be honest, those of us who are single and dating in our thirties have developed some beliefs around how straight men conduct themselves and there are some universal ‘truths’ that have developed on this topic: To name but a few: “All the good men are taken” “Men this age are scared of commitment” “Men aren’t as willing to do the work as women are”  “All men want is sex” “Men in their 30s are...

In this week’s solo episode, I am talking about something that many of us experience as we enter our thirties: FEELING COMPLETELY LOST.  So many people panic about turning 30 because of a false societal expectation that we should have our lives in order and that we should have ticked certain boxes in a particular order. In this episode, I am getting passionate about how normal it is to feel this w...

In this week’s guest interview, we are diving into a topic that I believe is THE KEY to improving the way you feel about your life: self-worth! So many of us feel (often subconsciously) that we don’t deserve happiness, we don’t deserve a life that feels good on the inside and also looks great on the outside. This lack of self-worth affects the way we show up in the world and when it is depleted, c...

This week I am letting you in on a tool that I use with my clients, and that I have used myself over the past year!   It’s called the Solo Date Challenge and it requires your participation (who doesn’t love a bit of podcast homework?!)   Taking on this challenge is going to help you to build up your self-love, self-worth, confidence and independence. It’s going to help you to consciously spend tim...
