Turning 30 Podcast

Today I am sharing a solo episode that I recorded in 2021 on what I believe is the most game-changing concept that I share with my clients: Emotional Adulthood.

 

As I am getting ready to invite you all to me next Reclaim group, I have been reviewing the work I have done with past clients and their testimonials, and almost every client I have worked with says learning about emotional adulthood and applying it to their lives created a huge shift in how they showed up and their relationships (with themselves and others).

 

In this episode, you’ll learn: ⁣The difference between emotional adulthood and emotional childhood, ways emotional childhood could be showing  up in different areas of your life and limiting  you from achieving the results you desire, how our own stories keep us stuck, and practical tips to rewrite a more empowering life narrative. 

 

This is for you if you’re ready to take control of your own emotions so you can find happiness and contentment, no matter what’s going on around you.

What does it mean to choose the alternative path?

Sometimes in life we make decisions that aren’t exactly what our younger selves had in mind. Sometimes in life we make life choices that those around us don’t fully ‘get’, or that aren’t in line with the choices of our parents or peers.

It takes a certain amount of courage to be able to stay true to yourself and do what is really calling you, and that is what this week’s podcast interview is all about.

I have invited my friend and client Emily Shain to share with us her experience of not going down the conventional route, and following her intuition to become a yoga teacher, holistic therapist and coach in her twenties.

Her journey has also led her to move countries TWICE in one decade, following her wish to live in nature and move to Panama, a place where she feels connected to her values.

If you have ever considered making a life-changing decision (or have already made one) but you struggle with other people’s opinions or how to integrate what you really want with how your external reality looks, this episode is going to inspire and expand you. Most of all it's going to help you to know that you have the power to pick the path that is right for you. As well as sharing her personal story and how she has dealt with fear of other’s opinions and societies’ expectations, we also talk about practical tools of ‘embodiment’ i.e. how to actually become that person that you really want to be!

In honour of the 50th episode of the Turning 30 Podcast, I’ve invited back one of my favourite guest speakers from the first few episodes: break-up coach Dorothy Johnson.

 

Whereas last time we did a deep dive into the topic of breaking up in your thirties, this time we are in conversation all about building your next chapter when life throws you curveballs that you didn’t plan for.

 

We so often have our lives planned out in a certain way and then, when it doesn’t go exactly as we expected, we have to redirect and sometimes start from scratch. When this happens, we have two choices: to sit back and hope that things will work out, or to proactively go out and build a brand new reality.

 

Choosing to believe and taking action to recreate a new plan is the core of what both Dorothy and I do in our coaching programs and we have such a shared mission: to educate that with the power of your mind you can go out and build a life that is so amazing, you will let go of your old plan and be grateful that it didn’t work out!

 

In the episode, Dorothy tells her inspiring story of going from a gut-wrenching break-up to building a life she loves that ultimately led her to a whole new career in helping others and a brand new fiancé!

 

We talk about how it feels to go off-course, why time isn’t the only way to heal a heartbreak, practical tips for how to build your life back up again and how to not lose hope when you’re in doubt that the life you want is waiting for you just around the corner.

 

We laugh, we cry, we preach and we bring our most vulnerable selves to this very important discussion. This episode will give you goosebumps and contains a message that you didn’t even know you needed to hear to help you feel excited about your future.

Whilst many people think that making friends in your thirties is more challenging than our younger years, I’m here to remind you that not only is it possible, but it is one of the most rewarding things you can focus your energy on at this age.

In an ideal world, aligned friends that share similar values and lifestyles to us would organically appear on our doorsteps, however the reality of it is that we have to go out and consciously and intentionally make these friendships. And when we do, the connections that we create are fulfilling and uplifting.

I have created a clear six stage process for how to make new friends, tried and tested over the past two years where this has been one of my key goals.

Friendships is a topic that does not get enough airtime and this is why we are continuing our friendship month with an episode dedicated to speaking openly about some of the challenges you may face in your friendships in your thirties.

 

Never one to shy away from taboo topics and speak about things that aren't usually spoken out loud , I have recorded this solo episode discussing some of the harsh truths that happen in our thirties. Such as the fact that many people prioritize their careers and love-lives over friendships, or the complicated feelings you may experience as your friends move into a different stage of life to you.

 

If you ever feel anxious about how your friendships are evolving or if you sometimes struggle to maintain your current friendships, then this episode is for you!

Have you ever struggled with feelings that your friendships have changed over the years? Do you ever feel disappointed that your friendships are changing as you grow older? If yes, this episode is for you.

 

Listen in to a vulnerable, honest and bold conversation I had with fellow single 30-something and @openhouselife Podcast Host Louise Rumball as we girl talk all about friendships in our thirties.

 

In this episode we answer an important and ever-so relevant question: can friendships survive when our friends are in different life stages to us?

 

As well as this we discuss the ‘curse’ of the single girl friend that meets a new love, the different types of friendships we have in our thirties, and also give tips for how to meet new friends, no matter how confident you feel about it.

 

This is a candid, unfiltered conversation where Louise and I authentically share our personal lives and friendships and say out loud things that people are often too nervous to admit.

This week’s podcast episode is a replay of one of the most popular Turning 30 episodes from 2021.

 

When our big birthdays loom, whether it be 30, 40, 50 or beyond- we often see this as a signpost to check in with ourselves and evaluate where we are in life. A lot of us come to the conclusion that we aren’t doing life 'right', and that we have ‘f*cked up’ when our lives don’t look like we expected.

 

This is the topic that bestselling author Alexandra Potter writes about in her latest book ‘Confessions of a forty-something f*ck up’ and I invited her onto the podcast to talk all about it.

 

As well as diving into the characters and topics in her book, Alexandra openly shares her personal story of being published as an author for the first time the week before her 30th birthday, and her experience of being a woman in a world where ageing is seen as something negative instead of something to embrace.

 

We talk about societal pressures, friendships, loneliness, vulnerability and why we should embrace ageing and everything it has to offer. This conversation is one of the most uplifting and inspiring conversations I have ever had about growing older. If you ever have a sense of ‘time running out’, and want some reassurance that you aren’t ‘doing life wrong- this episode is for you.

Let’s be honest, those of us who are single and dating in our thirties have developed some beliefs around how straight men conduct themselves and there are some universal ‘truths’ that have developed on this topic:

To name but a few:

“All the good men are taken”

“Men this age are scared of commitment”

“Men aren’t as willing to do the work as women are” 

“All men want is sex”

“Men in their 30s are looking for younger women”

Who better to verify these theories and to ask questions that represent all of the male population than a dating and intimacy coach for men?!

 

On this episode of the Turning 30 Podcast I have invited men’s life coach David Chambers onto the podcast for a no holds barred conversation on the topic of men and commitment, and to ask him the truth about what men in their thirties are looking for in a romantic connection.

 

As well as telling his own story of how he became a dating coach and breaking down the well-known stigmas around men in their thirties, David and I also dive into what men are truly looking for inside of a committed relationship, and it’s not what you think!!

 

I also used this conversation as an opportunity to ask him some personal questions I have been struggling with in my own dating life, and I have to say, David’s responses gave me so much food for thought on the way I view men and the way I show up in dating.

 

If you are on board with any of the above beliefs, are looking for some clarity on dating, and you are intrigued to hear about what men are really looking for from a relationship, this episode is for you.

 

**DISCLAIMER** This podcast is a discussion on the dating dynamic between heterosexual men and women.

In this week’s solo episode, I am talking about something that many of us experience as we enter our thirties: FEELING COMPLETELY LOST. 

So many people panic about turning 30 because of a false societal expectation that we should have our lives in order and that we should have ticked certain boxes in a particular order.

In this episode, I am getting passionate about how normal it is to feel this way when turning 30 and reminding you all that this is nothing to worry about (take my word for it!)

Tune in to hear my personal turning 30 journey as I share what happened when I felt lost and confused when I turned 29, and how I took this and turned it into something positive which eventually led me to a huge career and lifestyle change.

This one is for you if you struggle with feeling lost and want help and support to make big life changes in your thirties.

In this episode I also announce the launch of my new course The Next Chapter which officially opens its doors on NYE 2021 with a very special offer.

In this week’s guest interview, we are diving into a topic that I believe is THE KEY to improving the way you feel about your life: self-worth!

So many of us feel (often subconsciously) that we don’t deserve happiness, we don’t deserve a life that feels good on the inside and also looks great on the outside. This lack of self-worth affects the way we show up in the world and when it is depleted, can ultimately lead us to holding back in our relationships, career choices and the way we lead our lives.

Loving ourselves more isn’t simple, but can drastically improve our lives. Sabi is a  self-love coach, feminine embodiment guide and leadership mentor. She guides women to feel deeply worthy, to connect to their bodies and soul mission, and live with purpose, passion, pleasure and prosperity.

In this episode we dive into what self-worth actually is, how we know if we have it, what happens when we don’t have it and discuss practical tips for how to improve it. We also talk about why this is specifically relevant as thirty-somethings.

This is for you if you want to work on loving yourself, feel more connected to yourself and create a life you love.
