Suddenly Thirty

Happy Birthday to us! 

One whole year of Suddenly Thirty – 52 episodes, 52 weeks, and a beautiful community of listeners from 47 different countries. We have had the time of our life with you all over the past year. We love this little community – thank you for joining us every week.

In this very special episode, we catch up on the pod’s milestone birthday, chatting about the AFL grand final with Katy Perry, sharing how we feel about canines in office environments and discussing why we’re crossing AI off our worry list.

To celebrate our first birthday, we’re gifting something just for you! If you’ve loved listening each week, we would love to send you the exclusive Suddenly cap as a thank you. All you need to do is leave us a review and DM us a photo of it. The best place to leave a written review is on Apple Podcasts, but you can also rate us on Spotify. Your kind words mean the world to us – thank you for being a part of our journey!

Here’s to one year down and many more to come. Thank you for being a part of the Suddenly Thirty community – we couldn’t have done it without you!

Back by popular demand but this time with a twist. This week, the girls bring you a hilarious list of 50 icks sent in by YOU, the Suddenly Thirty listeners (or should we say, Dirty Girls!?). Prepare to laugh, cringe and maybe even feel a bit called out… 

Before getting into the icks, Lil and Em catch up on the week that’s been, including a very important debate on which days of the week are "odd" and "even" (trust us, it makes sense), and a deep dive into the unexpected history of dioramas. The girls also reveal the potential new name for Suddenly Thirty listeners, inspired by a friend’s suggestion. We want to hear your thoughts — does it stick?

In this week’s episode, Lilli and Emily dive into a thought-provoking conversation about the pressures and dynamics of being the eldest daughter. Does birth order truly shape who we are, or is it simply a societal myth? As eldest daughters themselves, the girls share personal stories and reflections, bringing a passionate and relatable perspective to the conversation.

In the less chic and sophisticated part of the episode, Lilli and Emily recount a hilarious online shopping mishap involving a pizza paddle that didn’t quite go as planned. The girls also reminisce about their weekend adventures in Bondi, and discuss an amusing question: when does a simple trip or stumble shift from being laughable to downright embarrassing?

In this week’s episode, the girls catch up on all the things that have been on their mind this week. They chat about the moon landing conspiracies and whether it ever actually happened, their dream jury duty case, more gastro diaries (trigger warning) and what is in their wishlist.

Then Lilli marks Emily’s upcoming 31st birthday with a round of questions reflecting on her 30th year and what she has learnt so far.

In this week’s episode, Lilli and Emily are sharing their thoughts on the impact of social media on their personal style. While the girls (obviously!) love social media, they have become more aware of the way algorithms are showing us what we love, appreciate and believe. However, with these algorithms, we are no longer exposed to the things that are outside our taste profile. So, has social media caused the death of personal style?

The girls also catch up on their theories on the must watched series Presumed Innocent, Lilli’s experience with hair loss, Emily’s petition for free postage, and so much more!

The girls are baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Sorry for the delay on this week’s episode and thanks for joining a day later than usual.

In this week’s episode, unsurprisingly the girls are chatting all about travelling. Lilli divulges her thoughts on jetlag and her dismal experience with travelling via plane, and the girls chat all about why Airbnb is an out (bring back hotels!). 

The girls catch up on the important topics of this week, which of course means sharing their thoughts on the Bieber baby name. They also caught each other in DISSH over the weekend and are sharing the (some regretful) purchases.

In this week’s episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Hanna Hardman, the founder of The Find Studio, to delve into her journey of building a successful fashion business and how she balances this with motherhood.

Hanna tells all on how The Find Studio operates, what a typical day looks like for her, and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into finding the most sought after pieces for her clients. She shares the most popular items and brands her clients love, and why these pieces are in such high demand. Hanna provides her recommendations for investing in your first designer piece and how to make the choice.

As a new mum, Hanna candidly discusses how motherhood has transformed her daily routine and the reality of running a business as a mum. She offers advice for other new mums who are also working, emphasising the importance of finding a balance that works for both your family and your business.

Hanna also shares her personal style, her favourite wardrobe staples, and how this has evolved in motherhood. She also reflects on her twenties and shares her feelings about turning thirty this year.

In this week's episode, the girls are talking about all things career pivots, recruitment and changing jobs. Transitioning to a new career can be a significant challenge, yet it also holds the possibility to bring personal growth and professional fulfilment. Emily opens up about her own experience of pivoting in her career, the motivation to make the change, and the process of embarking on a new career path. Lilli complements this narrative with her own insights and experiences, providing a well-rounded discussion for anyone contemplating a similar move. Lilli and Emily share valuable insights based off their own career journeys that will support you if you are questioning if it is the right time in your life to make a change.

As always, Emily and Lilli have plenty to catch up on. Like many of us, the girls have been glued to watching the Paris Olympics and share their reflections on some of the interesting sports we’ve seen. The girls are also questioning who is really enjoying iced matchas, Lilli is back using the worst toilet paper, and Emily shares her washing woes.
