Unless you’ve had your head in the sand the last few weeks, you will be aware that the new Netflix series ‘Nobody Wants This’ has been a huge sensation.
After watching it (and loving it) I created a post about why I believe we are all obsessed with it, and it went viral. Yes even Kristen Bell shared it in her stories!
But why are we all talking about it? What about their story is so special that it resonates with us all deeply?
In this week's episode I’ve decided to do a deep dive into why we are all loving this show right now and what we can learn from it when it comes to our own search for love.
Join me as I share why this show creates hope and is a true reflection of healthy love at the start of a new relationship.

September 30, 2024 Great Relationships Come to Those Who Wait: why it’s a good thing to find love later on

My hot take (that some may disagree with me on until you listen to this episode) is that the best relationships come to those who wait for them.
We have been fed the belief that those who end up with their high school sweethearts are the lucky ones, while those who remain single in their thirties are unlucky in love- but what if this just isn’t true? What if the greatest love stories happen later than we initially planned?
In this episode I argue my case for why I believe that when people meet when they have already established their identity and have spent a significant time alone, they can have better romantic relationships.
I also divulge the juicy details of how I met my fiancé and how our story is a great example of why a good relationship can come after two people have already got to know themselves, spent time focusing on their self-development and are ready to take the next steps.
This episode is for you if you have ever doubted your journey and how long it is taking you to find love.

June 12, 2024 Reflections On My Journey of Being Single at 33 to Becoming a Mother at 36
My journey of going through a break-up at 33 created panic about whether I would be able to have children and if time was ‘running out’ for me.

I used this time in my thirties to create a life that I love, whilst also focusing on my desire to meet someone and start a family with them.

Fast forward four years and my path unfolded and a few months before my 37th birthday I gave birth to Lenny, my first child. In this episode I am answering your questions about what it has been like to become a mother at this age, later than I had anticipated.

We live in a world where, despite the fact that becoming a mother from the ages of 35-40 is becoming more common, there are still fears and misconceptions about a woman’s ability to get pregnant after the age of 35.

The episode covers:
Was it difficult to get pregnant at this age and did I use the eggs that I had frozen at age 35
The taboo of talking about getting pregnant successfully
Was I treated differently in my pregnancy and birth because of my age (the term ‘geriatric pregnancy’ often scares women into having a baby)
An honest and vulnerable share about the positives and negatives of having a baby at this age

If you are in your thirties and looking for love, I urge you to check out my Next Chapter in Love course.

May 22, 2024 How to Deal With Panic In Your Thirties, Feeling Lost and Doing The Work To Turn It All Around Ft Kam Sagoo
This episode is a showcase of one of the most profound client transformations I have had the pleasure to support.

My client Kam’s life looked very different two years ago when she first reached out to me for a consultation call.

She was officially stuck in a rut. Just about to turn 30 she had a ‘good, stable’ job she didn’t like and had been debating leaving for a while, was in a relationship that she knew had no long-term future, was living at home with her parents and was struggling to see how she could get out of this situation to create a new future in her thirties.

After reading books and podcasts about personal development in 2020, she decided that she actually wanted to start to actually implement some of the things she was reading about and make big life changes. That’s what led her to coaching and to signing up to a 1:1 program.

Fast forward two years, her life has done a complete 180.

She ended her relationship, found a new job, bought her own place and moved out of her parents house and has spent the past year going on solo travel adventures and enjoying her life. Most of all the goal that she set, and is continuously working on, is having so much more life in her years, a mentality that Kam also has inspired me to adopt.

All of these external results are cause for celebration, but as you will hear in the episode, the biggest change of all was her mindset. Kam took a long, hard look at her thoughts and used coaching tools to create a new internal narrative. Through coaching, she has learnt to enjoy the journey that is life, and to stop worrying so much about the destination.

From panicking about being single and never meeting anyone, to now embracing her thirties and living a life on her terms, she is the perfect example of a Turning 30 success story.

May 15, 2024 How To Know If Your Partner is "The One" Ft Sarah Yudkin (Re-run)
We’ve all heard those familiar phrases when it comes to starting a new relationship: ‘when you know you know’, but what if you start a new relationship or you’re already in a partnership and you don’t instantly know that this person is ‘the one’?
For some reason, we’ve been tricked into believing that once we meet someone and get into a relationship, that we will live ‘happily ever after’ and things will just nicely slot into place. Add to this the fact we are bombarded with an array of different opinions on relationships such as ‘when you know you know’, it’s no wonder that when people start to have any doubts or questions in their relationship, they don’t know where to turn.
In this week’s guest episode, I have invited life coach Sarah Yudkin on to talk about a topic that I don’t think gets nearly enough airtime: relationship anxiety.
We dive into so many interesting topics, including:
how to know if it’s anxiety or incompatibility?
what to do (and what not to do) if you experience doubts in your relationship
how relationship anxiety shows up and how it can affect you
whether age affects anxious feelings in a relationship
the topic of settling and what it means to ‘settle’ in a relationship
‘the grass is greener’ syndrome that we can experience when we are single or in a partnership
Sarah is such a source of wisdom on this topic, based on her own personal journey of feeling anxious, doubtful, and uncertain in her own relationship to feeling a deeper sense of commitment, fulfillment, and optimism than she dreamed was possible.
Since then, she has helped over 750 people from 35 countries through online coaching, courses, and webinars.The You Love and You Learn online community consists of over 220,000 people on a journey to show up more intentionally in their relationships.

May 08, 2024 GIRL TALK: What To Do If You Are Exhausted From Dating Ft Caitlin Smith (Re-run)
Let’s be real, dating can be tough and the online dating space today can cause many people to decide to throw the towel in altogether and to focus on other areas of life.
But what does that mean for those who still want to meet somebody? Keep living your life and hope for the best?
On this week’s podcast episode I have invited back Caitlin Smith, better known as The Compatibility Coach, for an honest girl talk all about dating in your thirties.
In this episode we dive into topics surrounding the realities of dating, and why so many of us experience dating burnout and feel that we are ‘interviewing’ for jobs roles.
Caitlin shares her experience of never experiencing a relationship until her late twenties, and I share my story of being on and off single and what it was like re-entering the dating world again at age 33.
We also discuss why the key to getting your sparkle back may be to take a step back and delete the apps, how our mindsets are key in transforming our dating lives, the part luck plays in meeting someone, how to not get obsessed with dating, the key differences between men and women in the dating world and how to be the one that is picking instead of waiting to be picked.
If you ever feel exhausted from dating- or tend to avoid it altogether, this episode is for you!

April 24, 2024 GIRL TALK: Can Friendships Survive When Our Friends are in Different Life Stages to Us? Ft. Louise Rumball
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 OpenHouse 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.

April 03, 2024 How to Embrace Aging and Self-Love in Your Thirties and Beyond Ft. Dr Amanda Hanson
Dr Amanda Hanson worked for years as a clinical psychologist until pivoting to become a speaker, life coach and thought leader for women. Her brand Revolutionizing Midlife is about redefining and reclaiming what it means to be a woman and how we can refuse to subscribe to the aging ideals that dictate how women should be covering wrinkles with botox, dyeing their hair to cover up the greys, and to become less sexy and less outspoken as they mature.
In this episode we delve into why women have been taught and signaled to think of aging as something negative and how we can start to shift this paradigm to revolutionise the way that we grow older. We discuss the difference between ‘Baby Princess’ and ‘Queen Energy’ and how to shift your energy and go out into the world each day feeling powerful and sexy (no matter your age).
If you are ready to feel inspired about being in your thirties and growing older- this episode is for you!

You may have heard all about attachment styles, but you probably haven’t heard Stephanie Rigg’s take on attachment, which is such a breath of fresh air in a world where we are so quick to put people in attachment-style boxes.

We also discuss Steph’s transition from corporate lawyer to relationship coach and how she came to have one of the most popular attachment and relationship podcasts.
