We’re coming up to our 35th birthday’s, and we can’t stop thinking about all the milestones society expects us to hit by this age.

So, Lauren’s coming up to her 35th birthday. The age when everyone tells you your fertility “falls of a cliff”. And after growing up in a world that expects every woman to marry, have babies, and hit all kinds of milestones this birthday is hitting particularly hard. So in this week’s episode we’re talking about all the milestones we’ve felt pressured by, from motherhood to marriage, uni to career success, and money to mortgages. The pressures we put on ourselves can be unbearable, and hopefully this episode brings a bit of comfort to you.

TW: this episode contains references to trauma, mental illness, and infertility.

Sexy Selfies, Weight Loss Ads and Emotional Letters

About a year ago, Laura suggested getting Styled By Susie onto the podcast and Lauren was a bit unsure. Because when we hear the word stylist, we immediately think of someone who is going to tell us everything we can't wear.

But Susie couldn't be more the opposite of that!

In this episode, Susie tells us what colour are going to make our eyes POP and our skin glow and why finding your style means so much more than how our bodies look on the outside.
