Hello! How’ve you been? How are we feeling after what feels like a few months of isolation rather than weeks?

We’re back for your listening pleasure with our own self-isolation chronicles. This episode, we talk:

The best and worst things to come out of self-isolation

Call B.S. on the pressure to make the most of this time / set up a side hustle right now

Think ahead to what we’re looking forward to when this is all over.

The perfect companion for a WFH lunch.

This week, after a WhatsApp-related rant, we move on to talk about self-care for superwoman. A term we’re not really fans of, but following the massive reaction to a quote we put up on our instagram (@the30thrive), we decided to make it our topic this week.

We talk:

Our telltale signs for when we need rest

Claiming that time without guilt

How we replenish and relax

A caveat before you listen: this episode was pre-recorded owing to Mother’s Day plans. Obviously, this was also before the developments this week with Coronavirus. We do hope you’ve had as good a week as is possible, and that the lack of the c-word, actually provides some light relief. Don’t mistake us not mentioning it as insensitive.

Enjoy the episode.

And....we’re back!

This week...well, it was inevitable that we’d have to talk about the Coronavirus, right? We talk COVID, loo rolls and working from home for the foreseeable. Annette’s also got an update on her laser eye surgery. Would she do it again?

Dearly beloved,

We are gathered here today, to find out what had happened at the Love Is Blind finale!

We also discuss the trending topic Aunty Boots, getting involved in other people’s situations (our reactions then vs. now) and the generational differences in how certain situations are handled.

Have a great week!

This week we had no choice but to spend a large portion of the episode discussing Love Is Blind. The hashtags and the memes got to us, and we had to get involved.

Join us for an extended chat about the show that has everyone talking with a wider conversation about dating in 2020.

In this week’s episode we’re talking all things hair. We take a trip down hair memory lane and revisit some of our most memorable styles and hair disasters.

We also discuss the experiences and challenges we’ve dealt with in the workplace from both the employee and employer POV, and imagine what we’d do hair wise from a parent perspective if we had daughters in 2020.

Hello! We’re back, and we missed you!

Join us for season two of The 30 Thrive - a lifestyle podcast that celebrates the decade that is, our thriving thirties.

In today’s chat, Storm Ciara prompts Annette and Sasha to discuss making it through the storms of life. And how they set up their lives to thrive, when thriving means just about surviving some of life’s curviest of curve balls.

And in an analogy filled episode, they turn Annette’s impending laser eye surgery into a chat topic talking about life experiences that have given them 2020 vision in certain areas and also their plans for the year.

In the final episode of the season, we’re having a look back on our year. We talk highlights, achievements, travel and how we then gear up for a new year. Have a lovely end to 2019, and we’ll see you back here and ready to keep on thriving in 2020.

In the penultimate episode of season one, and on the cusp of a new decade, we take a deep dive into our memory boxes, and the defining cultural trends that framed us growing up in the nineties. Expect laughter and multiple memory jogs (and a fair bit of singing… you have been warned!), in this lighthearted meander down memory lane.

This week, we’re answering a listener question about making, breaking and maintaining adult friendships. Got a question? Message us: @the30thrive on Instagram or [email protected].
