The Clock

Allira Potter grew up with a single mum who worked multiple jobs to keep the family afloat. When she lost her mum at just 17, her life became a wild ride of ups and downs. Married by 22 and divorced five years later, she then navigated mental health issues, financial insecurity, substance abuse and hitting rock bottom... until she came across a deck of oracle cards her mum had left her. In this episode Allira and I delve into her sudden ride to prominence, her new book,  her spirituality and grief.

Allira's book: Wild & Witchy, A Guide to Self-love, Manifestation & Spiritual Sassiness

No matter how much we might panic in our 30s, the consensus is undoubtedly that they're better. You're better. In this episode we chat with Melissa Mason who has been a big wig dating and relationships writer for some of Australia's biggest publications. She's also a fantastic and celebrated podcaster.

Mel did a post online about turning 36 that encapsulated a lot of the issues we're all struggling with.

Mel and Charlotte have wide ranging conversations from the worst relationships we've had, to how who we are attracted to  has changed. We also speak about faux emotions, personal accountability and how it feels when your single friends get into relationships.

After watching most of her friends meet their partners and settle down in their 30s, Sophie Bailey began to panic. Despite always wanting the traditional life of having a partner, children and the white picket fence home, Sophie wasn't as close to that dream as she thought she would be at this stage in her life. After suffering from poor mental health Sophie looked at her options pragmatically and decided to look into sperm donors. Sophie's son is now three years old and she's never been happier.

In a year Tory Dart went from being heartbroken in Sydney to living out her lifelong dream working for the UN in Laos, in the middle of a pandemic. In this episode Charlotte Mortlock chats to her former roomie about the importance of making bold decisions, even when our brain tells us to play it safe.

If you’re married or in a relationship, it’s a nice idea to think you’ll be with that person forever. But reality is - half of us won’t. And women over 55 are one of the fastest-growing groups of homeless people. There are things you can be doing right now to add to your financial security which the 50 year-old version of yourself will thank you for.  This episode I speak with money and promotion guru Meggie Palmer, founder of Pep Talk Her, for some very easy tips and ideas on how to save, invest, get promoted, get a payrise - and ultimately close the pay gap.

We all form schemas based on our experiences in childhood. Once established, they can be incredibly stubborn, and they’ll often dictate the type of relationships we’ll have in the future. The good news is, you can rewire your brain. This episode I am joined by two fantastic female psychologists. We discuss how schemas impact dating, relationships and parenting.

Every bride will tell you they are well aware their pandemic wedding was nowhere near the worst thing that’s happened in the last two years. But that doesn’t mean it’s any less heartbreaking or insignificant. Emily Herbert was living in Wanaka in New Zealand with her Welsh fiancé, but traveling back to her home town near Tamworth in north west NSW to get married when the pandemic hit Australia. They bizarrely ended up stranded on her families property for the next 18 months and falling pregnant much sooner than they planned.

Jessie Stephens and I met around five years ago when I slid into her DMs. Since then she has gone on to publish a critically acclaimed first book, Heartsick, which encapsulates the rawness and pain of heartbreak. Jessie speaks candidly about how sometimes there can be a lack of sparkle in the creative process, and that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad idea. We also discuss what it's like dating a dude seven years her junior (and her boss's son) + and how career success can sometimes be oddly deflating.

Dating can feel like a whole new world in your 30s - and that is what we’re exploring in today’s episode. Carrying past baggage into new relationships, cutting the crap and dating with intention, why ghosting is so common on dating apps and why your self esteem may be a huge part of why it hasn’t been working out….This episode I’m joined by dating expert and podcaster Jana Hocking and my best friend Hayely Olsson.
