Turning 30 Podcast

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

In this week’s episode we dive into what attachment style is and the different types of attachment, how to manage attachment styles in dating and relationships, the anxious-avoidant dynamic, whether we need to label our attachment style and discuss it with our partner (or potential partner) and how to work on your attachment style to create a sustainable partnership.

A one-off preview of a module from my brand new course Next Chapter in Love. Within the course, there are 27 self-study modules to help you transform your current love life, and this episode offers you an exclusive preview to one of the topics in the course.

After working with hundreds of women in their thirties, a pattern I often see is how many people feel frustrated or disappointed about how their thirties were not as they expected them to be.

When we hold on to a perception of how our lives ‘should look’, it affects how we accept where we are right now- and when it comes to our love life, this can often show up in how we date and approach our relationships.

In this solo episode I share my thoughts on how to accept the path that you are on, whilst also giving space to grieve the path never taken. This way, you can learn how to take healthy and conscious action steps to build your next chapter and break free from the past.

Did you know that in astrology the age of 29 (and the lead up to it) is particularly significant because it marks our ‘Saturn Return’: a time re-evaluation and considering how you want the next chapter to be?

I have invited Alice Bell, the author of “Trust Your Timing’ and astrolger for British Vogue to explain all about Saturn Returns and how we can best navigate them. In the episode we discuss the growing pains of Saturn Returns, sharing both of our experiences of going through our own, and we also talk about the other relevant astrological ages that can mark big changes and transitions.

We also dive into the topic of Alice’s book: how you can trust the unique timing of your own journey and use astrology to support dating and your journey to a relationship.

This episode is for you if you want to work on your own trust in divine timing and explore how astrology can support you in your journey.
