    The Cornell 7: Why Women Still Don't Feel Safe

    Cornell sexual assault lawsuit: what's alleged, why the case is back in the headlines, and why so many women still don't feel safe. Content note: this episode discusses sexual assault. Please skip if that's not something you want to hear today. A former Cornell student alleges she was drugged and sexually assaulted at the Chi Phi fraternity house in 2024. Her civil lawsuit is now public, prosecutors have reopened the case, and the internet is asking how it was handled. (Cornell disputes that essays were the only consequence and says the allegations were investigated under its policies. These are allegations, and the legal process is ongoing.) Our guest cancelled at the last minute, so Soraya and Jasmine had the conversation that needed to happen. In this episode: - What the Cornell lawsuit alleges and why it has sparked such anger - Why women are still told to take every precaution while accountability lags behind - The bystander effect: what it means when a whole group chat stays silent - Why women don't report, and why reporting still matters, including to the police - Elite universities, institutions protecting themselves, and The Hunting Ground and Promising Young Woman - Is violence against women escalating? Social media, the manosphere and the under-16 ban debate - The New York video that asked women what they'd do if they were guaranteed safe for a day - More stories that show how often women aren't listened to, including the Tokyo Medical University admissions scandal - What we can actually do: speak up, don't assume someone else has reported it, and teach both boys and girls Females Thriving Over 30 is the podcast for women in their thirties, forties, fifties and beyond, and for the twenty-somethings quietly dreading the big 3-0. Every week we talk career, identity, self-worth and building a life that feels as good as it looks.

    How to Stop People Pleasing & Find Alignment: Subconscious Beliefs, Boundaries & Self-Worth with Yana German

    Why do you keep saying yes when you mean no? Transformational coach Yana German reveals why 97% of your daily life runs on subconscious programming and how to find your way back to alignment. What if the life you're living looks right on the outside but doesn't feel right anymore? In this episode of Females Thriving Over 30, Soraya and Jasmine sit down with Yana German, the Chicago-based coach, spoken word poet and creator of SoulScript Poetry, known as the "Architect of Awareness & Alignment." With nearly three decades of experience, Yana shares how she turned her own healing from trauma into a calling. She explains how inherited beliefs and generational patterns quietly shape our relationships, our self-worth and our ability to set boundaries. In this episode we cover: - Why affirmations alone don't work, and how subconscious beliefs really change - How your parents' fears and anxieties can become your patterns - Why "I don't know who I am anymore" is actually a breakthrough moment - The quiet within: how to hear your intuition over your ego - Why meditation doesn't work for everyone (and what to do instead) - The best times of day for reflection, journaling and gratitude - People pleasing, overgiving and why you can't pour from an empty cup - How to create your own integrity map - The 7 types of boundaries and why self-love is the key to setting them If you're a recovering people pleaser, an overachiever or simply feeling stuck, this conversation is your reminder that worthiness is your birthright. Content note: this episode includes discussion of childhood trauma, abuse and suicidal thoughts.

    50 and Fabulous: Confidence, Reinvention & the Glow Up Nobody Warned You About (with Emily Sanders)

    What if turning 50 wasn't something to dread — but the moment you finally stop apologizing for who you are? This week Soraya and Jasmine sit down with Emily Sanders: a single mom of two, licensed massage therapist, pageant titleholder, and aspiring children's book author who's redefining what confidence after 50 actually looks like. Emily gets real about the parts nobody posts about — rebuilding her identity after divorce, losing a business she spent five years building, competing in pageants in her 40s and 50s, and the exact moment she decided she had "no more Fs to give." We talk about midlife reinvention, why starting over in your 50s isn't a setback, how journaling (even with ChatGPT) can help you process the chaos, and why your journey was never meant to make sense to anyone but you. If you've ever felt like you're behind on some invisible timeline, or wondered whether it's "too late" to chase something new — this conversation is proof it isn't. It's a masterclass in self-worth, women's empowerment, and building a life on your own terms, at any age. This episode covers: midlife confidence, reinventing yourself after divorce, single motherhood, pageant life after 40, journaling for mental clarity, and letting go of other people's expectations.

    Perimenopause in Your 30s: The Symptoms Nobody Warns You About with Martina Loebenberg

    Anxiety that comes from nowhere. Brain fog that makes you feel incompetent at your own job. Exhaustion no amount of sleep fixes. If you're in your 30s or 40s and these symptoms sound familiar, you need to hear this conversation. This week on Females Thriving Over 30, Soraya sits down with Martina Loebenberg — former competitive bodybuilder turned corporate professional — who spent almost a decade being told her symptoms were depression, ADHD, burnout, or "just London life," before finally connecting the dots to perimenopause. Martina opens up about the years-long fight to be taken seriously by doctors, why she eventually went private for HRT, how perimenopause can intensify ADHD and neurodivergent traits, the toll it took on her relationships and sense of self, and the moment estrogen finally lifted her brain fog. This episode covers: The first signs of perimenopause most women miss (and blame on stress)Why ADHD and other neurodivergent traits can intensify during perimenopauseNavigating NHS vs. private HRT prescriptions in the UKWhat it actually costs to see a private menopause specialistHow perimenopause affects relationships, libido, and your sense of selfHow to advocate for yourself when a doctor tells you "everything's normal"Plus: it's a season finale!

    The Child-free Lifestyle Gets a Community ft DINK Social

    "DINK" stands for Dual Income, No Kids — and it's become one of the fastest-growing lifestyle labels among couples choosing not to have children. This week, Soraya and Jasmine sit down with Charlie and Ali, the husband-and-wife founders of DINK Social, the first social app built specifically for child-free couples. They talk about how the DINK lifestyle actually plays out day to day, why the community around it took off faster than they ever expected, and what "child-free by choice" really looks like once you get past the internet's assumptions, backlash, and the cliché "lavish, carefree" stereotype. Along the way: the difference between child-free by choice and child-free by circumstance, handling family pressure over kids in your 30s and 40s, and why adult friendship might be the hardest part of any of this. Whether you're a DINK yourself, child-free by circumstance, a parent, or just DINK-curious, this episode will change how you think about what counts as a full life. In this episode we cover: What actually made them decide to be child-free (hint: it started with a puppy)How DINK Social went from a TikTok video to 500+ waitlist signups overnightThe wildest assumptions people made about a couples-only appWhy the online backlash against child-free couples can get so uglyThe truth about the "lavish, carefree DINK lifestyle" stereotypeWhat to say to family members who won't stop asking when you're having kidsWhy child-free and parent friendships can absolutely coexistWhat's next for DINK Social, including their first group trip to Sardinia in 2027 Find DINK Social: 📲 Instagram & socials: @dinksocial 🌐 Get the App Get Tickets for our Live Event Here Watch Soraya's TEDx talk and please like, comment and share to support the channel. 💌 Stay Connected Subscribe for more real-life conversations that uplift, inform, and empower women 30+.

    9 to 5 vs 5 to 9: Finding Meaning Beyond Your Work Title

    Is your job successful — or does it actually feel meaningful? On this episode of Females Thriving Over 30, Jasmine and Soraya sit down with returning guest Urmi — a finance professional by day, self-published author, speaker, YouTuber and podcaster by night — to unpack what it really takes to build a career with purpose beyond a job title. Urmi shares the moment she realised a "successful" career (the promotions, the pay rises, the external validation) wasn't the same as a fulfilling one, why the hours between five and nine can matter as much as your nine-to-five, and how the Japanese concept of Ikigai helped her find meaning in the everyday. We talk through side hustles versus passion projects, building a personal brand on LinkedIn without burning out, the very real financial fears that keep women stuck in careers that no longer fit, and why — whatever your age — it's never too late to start over. If you're a woman in her 30s questioning your career path, feeling the pull of a passion project, or just trying to figure out what comes after "successful," this conversation is for you. Find Urmi's book, Discovering Your Identity: A Rebirth from Iteration of Struggle, on Amazon, and her podcast, Stories Beyond Borders, on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. FTO30 LIVE EVENT!

    Child-Free by Choice: Why More Women Are Opting Out of Motherhood (with Ashleigh Russell)

    Is having kids still the "default" path for women — or is that starting to change? This week, Soraya and Jasmine sit down with Ashleigh Russell to talk about her decision to be child-free, and why she's never wavered on it. They get into the judgment that comes with saying "I don't want kids" out loud, the real financial cost of raising a child in the UK today, why "selfish" might actually be "self-aware," and what it's really like navigating relationships, family, and even medical professionals when children simply aren't part of your plan. Whether you're child-free, a parent, still deciding, or just curious — this is an honest, unfiltered conversation about choice, identity, and building a life that's actually yours. PS: Apologies for Soraya's sound at the beginning. The heatwave and using a fan is not a good combo for the mic and the sound Females Thriving Over 30 is the podcast for millennial women navigating love, life, confidence, finances, and starting over — one honest conversation at a time.
