How To Turn 30 Podcast Riley-Rose Harper

Welcome to a VERY special BONUS episode. Yep, this was meant to be released in season 1 but, uh, it just didn't feel right. Why? Because it's about the wondrous world of travel and we couldn't actually... travel. 

So! with international travel opening up and hopefully we'll be able to travel to more and more places... here is a special dose of travel inspo with a very avid traveller. 

Maybe you did a bit of travel in your 20s, maybe none at all... what happens if you still have the travel bug? But, you're maybe working a full-time job or working on a career. Can you fit it in? The answer according to my next guest is YES. 

Vicky Carter is a writer, radio announcer, podcaster, blogger, journalist and she's travelled far and wide. 

We speak about the importance of travel to broaden your mind, inspirational women who've traveled well beyond turning 30, and how to navigate travel with... everything else.

You can find more about Vicky on her website here and her Instagram here.

Why do we feel the pressure around The Big Three Oh? Where does it come from? What should we be focusing on in instead of beating ourselves up?

Today we're speaking to podcaster, therapist & writer - Jana Firestone. 

She is very generous with not only her thoughts around 30 but also her own experience of turning 30. 

We talk about love, we talk about babies, we talk about career.

AND she shares some very helpful ways in which we can combat the anxiety around turning 30.

Dating can be fun, it can be exciting, it can be.. Rewarding. It can also turn into a chore, be emotionally taxing & disheartening.

That is how Bad Dates Of Melbourne started for Alita Brydon - she was sharing her stories & thought maybe these should be online. Now she has a huge following spanning thousands of people across social platforms.

As a dating expert, what does Alita think about the difference in dating in your 20s ve dating in your 30s?

Remember when we’d pride ourselves on our Top Friends list on Myspace? Or when you clocked up 100 friends on Facebook and you felt just as popular as Regina George on Mean Girls? Well you’ve probably noticed that changes as you get closer to 30…

Turning 30 can give us a little nudge to look up and assess who we are spending the most time with - do they make us feel good? Are we happy after we've had brunch with them? Or.. have we just remained friends out of habit & maybe they aren't that good for us after all..?

Thank you to special guest Dr Hannah Korrel - clinical Neuropsychologist,  psychologist and author of the book How To Break Up With Friends.

So, what if you don't want kids? Or maybe you’re leaning more towards not wanting to have kids but you’re worried about the stigma that surrounds the decision? You’re worried about changing your mind later in life? You're worried about what your family will say?

It’s almost a scary prospect, isn’t it? Deciding not to have kids feels a bit like you’re zigging while maybe other people around you are zagging. 

Today we’re speaking to Australian journalist & author - Tory Shepherd. 

Her book ‘On Freedom’ explores how women's freedom to choose motherhood is reshaping their own lives as well as society.

Have you ever considered buying a house? A unit? A little piece of land to call your own?

It seems like a very adult thing to do. And maybe something your friends have already done or your parents have hinted at you to do throughout your 20s. 

BUT! It's such a huge thing, right? And often chucked in the too-hard-basket. 

Nicole Haddow knows about the 'too-hard-basket' but she did it and she wrote a book about how you can do it too.

The beauty of her story? She essentially started from scratch at 30 too. 

You can purchase Nicole's book Smashed Avocado here.
