Honeydew Me

266. Welcome to 30, This Is Not What We Expected!!!!!


Listen Later

Cass turns 30 the day this episode drops, and this is the conversation we wish someone had handed us at 22. Not our Pinterest board versions of adulthood (there was too much turquoise and chevron on there anyway). The real one, where "adult money" gets spent on prenatal vitamins for thinning hair, a trampoline, and a personal finance book.

Emma found her old high school career class papers this week. Sixteen-year-old Emma wanted to open an equine therapy center, planned to go to college in the Pacific Northwest (where she'd meet her husband), wanted to fix "ignorance" in the world (misspelled), and confessed her most recent life lesson was that she didn't like pot pies but kept making them anyway. Emma's now 30, single, and living alone. Cass swore she'd be single, childfree, and a world-traveling journalist, and now she's married with a kid. We use that gap as the jumping-off point for the lives we pictured versus the lives we actually built.

In this episode:

  • Cass on what nobody tells you: trying to be skinny made her miserable. Trying to be strong made her feel hot.
  • "If you want to be someone who does, then do." How buying one shirt led to a triathlon, a solo trip to Europe, and fly fishing in Wyoming.
  • Why "have more opinions" is a real New Year's resolution.
  • The shift from being palatable for everyone to picking your people.
  • Why community asks you to be inconvenienced, and the unsexy truth that no, it doesn't just happen if it's meant for you.
  • Making and keeping friends as an adult when nobody's built-in anymore.
  • What the listener polls said about what changes most in your 30s (spoiler: 48% of you said the same thing).
  • Emma's 30th birthday recap: 90% on the couch, 5% in a hot tub, 100% a little high.
  • What we hope we're doing at 40, and what we hope we never do.
  • For anyone in their late 20s or 30s who suspects all the adults around them are also winging it.
