In Part 2 of the Setting Boundaries series, I am addressing why we find boundary setting so difficult and I share some real-life examples from my clients, to show the results that are possible when you set boundaries. In addition to this, I give four practical steps that you can already start taking today, in order to start setting boundaries. 

This is the THIRTIETH episode of the Turning 30 Podcast so I also give a little back story of how the podcast came into existence and give details of a podcast competition where you could win over £1000 worth of coaching.

In today’s solo podcast episode I am diving into a topic that has quickly become one of my favourite and most common topics to coach on: boundaries. This is the first in a two part series on boundaries, in which I teach the foundational concepts to help you live a life in alignment with who you really are and what you want to achieve. 

In this first episode I explain what boundaries are, give examples of the different types of boundaries that you can set, and an explanation as to why setting boundaries is so important and powerful. 

You will resonate with this episode and the concepts in it if you identify yourself as ‘people-pleaser’, someone who struggles to put their own needs before others, is highly sensitive to other people’s emotional states, often reflects on what other people will think before taking action, struggle with work-life boundaries, or if you find it difficult to commit to doing things for yourself on a regular basis. If any of these sound familiar, learning about boundaries is going to be a game-changer for you. 

This is one of the main topics I am teaching in my upcoming group course ‘The Next Chapter’. To be the first to get details of the course and special offers, click on the link below.

I’ve invited my good friend Karina, known as @styleidealist, back onto the podcast this week to talk about Turning 30 and 'Not Liking Your Job’. Karina and I have such a shared passion for helping others to overcome struggles in the workplace and we felt compelled to publish a no holds barred conversation about what it is really like when you don’t see a future in your job.

After our own personal experiences of being stuck in jobs that weren’t for the long-term, we decided to talk openly about our  trials and tribulations and our eventual path to finding careers that fit. The result: an insightful and slightly ranty (from my side) podcast episode that is a must-listen if you and your job haven’t been getting along.

As well as revealing details of our string of non-starter jobs, discussing workplace red-flags and some of our lowest moments, we also give practical tips of what to do if this is something you are currently going through.

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.

People talk about ‘self-care’ all the time- but what does it REALLY mean to take care of yourself? And why is it so important?

I’ve invited my friend, past client and coaching colleague Karli Van Heel onto the Podcast to talk all about Self-care.  Karli run’s Studio Self, a well-being based community dedicated to helping people become a better version of themselves. The truth is, self-care isn’t really about how often you have a hot bubble bath and treating yourself to a massage. It’s actually about how in tune you are with your own needs, putting yourself first even when other things are demanding your attention, and your ability to love and trust yourself.

Do you feel like you are constantly rushing around in overwhelm and never get time for yourself? 

Do you feel like you are balancing a million things and are always expected to be switched ‘on’. 

Do you want practical tips on how to implement a self-care regime that works for you? If yes, then this episode is for you!

Have you ever had one of those days, weeks, or even months where it seems like NOTHING seems to be going your way? Maybe you’ve even felt like the universe is conspiring against you? 

I know this feeling very well, and after recently experience a very funky funk, I decided to share my take on it and outline some practical advice on what you can do to get out of it. Tune in for some simple strategies on how to clear out negative energy to feel better and learn how to hold space for your thoughts, process your emotions, be kind to yourself and most importantly, accept that you are a human having a human experience.

In the next instalment of my coaching tools series, I am sharing practical tools to help overcome comparison. When we reach our thirties, we often have lives that look different to our friends and peers, and our brains go into overdrive looking around to find evidence of this. The truth is, comparison is normal for our brains, but the problem is that we often take this to mean that there is something wrong with us, or the way that our lives have panned out.

 

If you have ever felt this way, this episode provides you with an explanation of why we indulge in comparison as we enter our thirties, and gives practical steps for how to overcome this to focus on living a life that is all about you, and not those around you. If you want to take these practical tips and learn how to apply them in the comfort of a group of people on the same journey as you- apply now to my Turning 30 Group Program.

Our 30 Manual is a concept that I teach in my Coaching Program. It is an instruction manual that lays out a set of rules for how we believe our lives will look in our thirties. When we don’t meet these expectations, we often feel like we have ‘missed the boat’ or that we have been left behind from others. The truth is, these goals are fictitious and have been created (often subconsciously) by a younger version of ourselves, who unfortunately did not have a crystal ball to predict the twists and turns of our twenties. 

 

Today’s Podcast episode takes a deep-dive into understanding everything about our 30 Manuals and it kicks off a special series of coaching episodes where I am sharing concepts that I use in my coaching program with my clients. In the episode I explain what a 30 Manual is, how it has been playing out in your life and then I outline my four-step guide for how to re-write it. If you have ever felt that you have 'failed' as your life doesn't look exactly as you would like by now, this episode is for you.

Often our twenties don’t work out exactly the way we planned. We graduate and don’t get the dream job, we experience breakups, rejection, grief and uncertainty and we aren’t taught how to deal with any of these things or the inevitable way they affect our mental health.

Mena Kezia Emuh experienced this herself,  and at the age of 27 reached a breaking point that ultimately led her to create her community of @thel8bloomers. She bravely decided to speak out about her mental health and from there she has become a spokesperson for people who feel left behind, dedicating her time to a platform for millennials navigating the complexities of adulting in the 21st Century. In this episode, Mena shares her personal story with me and we have an authentic and vulnerable conversation about timelines, the pressure to be ‘normal’, religious and cultural expectations and why it is so important to speak out about mental health.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt that things didn’t work out exactly as planned and if you’ve ever felt like a ‘late-bloomer’.
