In the seventh episode, Sinéad and Melissa delve into why so many of us freak out and feel like imposters when turning 30; from the discrepancies between pop culture and reality, to pressure around milestones, and anxieties around a not-so-linear career path. But don’t worry- we’ve all learned a lot of life lessons over the past 30 years, so there’s a lot to be grateful for as we head into a new decade!

We’d love to hear your stories of feeling like an imposter, so email us at  [email protected] and each episode we’ll be sharing some on the podcast.
