    I'm on a generational run | ThurtyFM with Elizabeth Uviebinené

    #ElizabethUviebinene #ThurtyFM #jameliadonaldson What if everything you're chasing now is really just a return to who you already were at nine years old?Elizabeth Uviebinené gets honest in this one. The girl from Peckham who used to "yap" in front of her teachers, the teenager who wrote five and ten year plans, and the woman who has pivoted from HSBC marketing to bestselling author to FT columnist to tech founder, all while staying rooted in the same vision she had at sixteen: control, direction, and never being a passenger in her own life.This conversation goes deep on something we don't talk about enough: how friendships shift in your 30s, not because of fallouts, but because life pulls people in different directions. The voice notes that replace the group chat. The friends who wouldn't make the guest list anymore, and the quiet grief that comes with that.And then there's the courage conversation. Elizabeth opens up about not being fearless, despite what her career might suggest, and why she believes avoiding failure is really just avoiding growth.Elizabeth is someone who has built in public, pivoted without apology, and turned her own personal practices into a tech company helping other people find their blueprint. This episode is one of those conversations that stays with you.If you've ever wondered whether becoming who you are is really just remembering who you've always been, this is for you.Subscribe to ThurtyFM — new episodes every Thursday.ABOUT THURTYFMThurtyFM is the podcast for women navigating their 30s on their own terms.

    I prayed for discernment, and it changed everything | ThurtyFM with Remi Burgz

    #RemiBurgz #ThurtyFM #JameliaDonaldson What happens when a car accident at 20 makes you realise just how fleeting life really is? Remi Burgz gets honest in this one. The accident that changed her perspective. The boundaries she had to learn to set, even when they felt uncomfortable. The year she spent praying for discernment, and what it taught her body to physically feel before her mind could catch up. This conversation goes deep on something we don't talk about enough: how to forgive yourself for who you used to be, and how to build a new foundation once you've outgrown the old one. And then there's the giving back. Remi founded the Energy Provider Fund to support families facing fuel poverty, an issue she lived through herself, because she refused to wait until she had "everything together" to act on her vision. Remi is someone who has grown in public, set boundaries unapologetically, and found her mojo all over again in her 30s. This episode is one of those conversations that stays with you.

    From Needing To Be Chosen to Choosing Yourself. | ThurtyFM with Jamelia Donaldson x Ciara London

    Ciara London changed online fitness forever - built a gym, a global community, and a business from the ground up. BUT before the brand, the retreats, and the sold-out programmes ... she had to get out first. In this conversation, Jamelia Donaldson sits down with Ciara London to talk about the stuff that doesn't make the highlight reel. Leaving a toxic relationship. Building something of your own when your confidence is at its lowest. And deciding, in your 30s, that you're done living by everyone else's rules. They get into something so many women feel but rarely say out loud... that hunger in your 20s to be chosen. By a partner, a job, a group, a life. And the quiet shift that happens in your 30s when you realise the only person whose approval you actually needed was your own. They also get into the Sunday blues; that specific kind of quiet that hits childfree women in their 30s when the world keeps telling you something is missing. Spoiler: nothing is.Because some of the boldest lives look nothing like the plan.If you're in the middle of rewriting your own story — this one is for you.

    #FisayoMartins #FinanceMattersUK #ThurtyFMFisayo Martins the founder of Finance Matters UK, left a Senior Manager role at Lloyds Banking Group, a career built across Central Finance, Commercial Banking, and Treasury, and chose to start over. Not because she had to. Because she had seen too many people doing everything right on paper and still not building real wealth.In this conversation, Jamelia gets Fisayo to do the thing most financial experts don't: speak plainly. No jargon, no judgment. Just the real framework behind why so many women in their 30s are earning well, ticking boxes, and still quietly wondering where it's all going.If money has ever felt like something you were supposed to have figured out by now, drop it in the comments.
