January 27, 2021 Turning 30 and Re-writing Your 30 Manual
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.

January 20, 2021 Turning 30 and Being a Late Bloomer with Mena Kezia Emuh
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’.

January 04, 2021 Turning 30 and Facing Fear Feat. Ben Harris 'The Fear Guy'
To celebrate the release of the 20th episode of the Podcast, I am interviewing my first ever male guest, life coach Ben Harris @the.fear.guy.

After 13 episodes interviewing women, I finally got to ask a male on the eve of his 30th birthday his point of view around the pressures men feel around turning 30 and if this is different from the way women approach this transitional time.

As well as discussing turning 30 (my favourite topic of course), I invited Ben to talk about all things fear. Fear is one of our greatest teachers, but it can be so delimitating when we try to resist it. We dive into what keeps us in our comfort zones, our worst case scenarios and our want to avoid them at all costs, fear of failure, fear of what people thing and most importantly: how to overcome these fears.

Tune in for a role play where I play a fearful client and Ben coaches me and gives me practical tips to help embrace fear and make life changes.
