Suddenly Thirty

Nothing Fits and Everything’s Expensive

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 18:00:00 GMT

In this week’s episode of Suddenly Thirty, Lilli and Emily are coming in hot.

They start with a proper rant about supermarkets and the cost of living, unpacking the little things that feel increasingly hard to justify when everything is already so expensive.

They then share what they have been loving lately, from recent purchases to the brands currently on their radar.

The conversation turns to fashion, as they question why good tops feel impossible to find right now, with most outfits relying on the same basic pieces.

The girls also reflect on Lilli’s Easter egg saga, and reflect on the chaos, the confusion, and why the mystery still lingers.

Wait… Is Fun Back?

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 18:00:00 GMT

In this week’s episode of Suddenly Thirty, Lilli and Emily unpack a cultural shift they can’t stop noticing: is fun… back?

They start with the moment that sparked the conversation — the latest Chanel campaign featuring Margot Robbie and Kylie Minogue — and why it feels bigger than just a fashion campaign. There is something about it that feels different — more expressive, more playful, and a little less serious.

This leads to a bigger question: are we moving out of the era of quiet luxury, restraint, and “perfect taste,” and into something lighter, more expressive, and actually enjoyable again?

They explore what’s happening culturally — from the dominance of minimal, curated aesthetics to a growing craving for whimsy, nostalgia, and personality. With the resurgence of playful pop music and a return to more emotional, stylised storytelling, they discuss how “fun” is re-entering the chat, but in a more elevated, self-aware way.

They also touch on why this shift might be happening now. With heavy global politics, economic pressure, and the rapid rise of AI and digital saturation, there’s a sense that people are craving something more human — more tactile, emotional, and real. They question whether this return to nostalgia, archives, and “realness” is actually a form of cultural coping.

They also look at how fashion is leading the shift. Designers are moving away from rigid minimalism toward softness, storytelling, and personality — reintroducing optimism and play in a way that still feels chic. Casting choices and campaign direction point toward a softer, more human kind of cool.

Throughout the episode, they come back to a central idea: maybe it’s not that everything is becoming more casual or chaotic — it’s that we’re entering a phase of curated fun. Less irony, less perfection, and more feeling.

So… is fun cool again?

This Week’s Quiet Obsessions

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 18:00:00 GMT

In this week’s episode of Suddenly Thirty, Lilli and Emily are back with a catch-up — sharing everything they’ve been watching, wearing, buying, eating and doing lately.

They chat through what’s been on their screens — a headline-making documentary on Australia’s biggest media moguls, a must-watch series set against the backdrop of the modern-day oil boom, and a love story that’s got the girls feeling all loved up.

On the style front, it’s all about ease. Emily’s leaning into barrel leg pants and flowy dresses as her current uniform, alongside a few key pieces in her wardrobe that are making getting dressed feel simpler and more effortless. Lilli continues to approach her wardrobe more thoughtfully — focusing on considered purchases and being more intentional with what she’s bringing in.

They get into the small things they’ve been buying and loving, including a recent obsession with Sadele, a new evergreen flower brand, pantry staples from Mingle Seasoning that are making weeknight dinners feel easier, and the ongoing appeal of Nature Baby for simple, well-made essentials for kids.

It’s a lighter episode — part recommendations, part reset — and feels like the kind of conversation you’d have at the end of the week when you finally sit down and exhale.

Nothing to Wear & Everything to Overthink

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 18:00:00 GMT

In this week’s episode of Suddenly Thirty, Lilli and Emily are back for a classic catch-up.

They share what they’ve been buying lately — what’s been worth it, what hasn’t, and the reality of spending money in this season of life. Emily opens up about her shopping dilemma: the buyer's remorse, the unopened packages sitting there judging her, and the very real struggle of getting dressed while pregnant and not quite feeling like herself.

The girls chat about the power of AI and the things their algorithm keeps feeding them — from the Loewe rattan pram to the Rhode x Stanley collaboration — and what it all says about influence and aspiration. Which naturally leads into a deeper conversation around dressing for context — what’s okay to wear where, and who actually decides.

They also touch on the half-season drops on Netflix (why split it in two?!), the plane food that absolutely does not need to exist, and the end of this season of Love Island All Stars, which has them questioning: can you really fall in love on a TV show?

It’s fashion, culture, pregnancy feelings, reality TV debriefs and the kind of chaotic catch-up that feels like a long voice note between friends.

Do We Need a New Word for Motherhood?

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 18:00:00 GMT

This week, Emily and Lilli are unpacking the campaign led by Michelle Battersby, who recently took out a full-page ad in The New York Times calling for the word matrescence — the developmental transition into motherhood — to be officially recognised.

The girls reflect on whether becoming a mother felt like adding to who they already were, or quietly becoming someone new. They talk about identity grief and joy coexisting, the loss of autonomy no one quite prepares you for, shifting careers and friendships, relationship recalibration, and the pressure to “bounce back” physically while barely having space to emotionally recalibrate.

They share that without language for the transition, parts of early motherhood can feel like personal failure rather than developmental change — and that knowing the word matrescence earlier might have made them feel less alone and more understood.

The girls also explore whether naming something actually matters. From the neuroscience of labelling emotions (yes, the amygdala gets involved) to the cultural power of giving experiences legitimacy, they ask: what changes when we finally have the words.

A thoughtful conversation about motherhood, identity, and the quiet rebuilding that happens in seasons of transition.

Hailey Bieber on the Power of Saying No

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 18:00:00 GMT

In this week's episode of the Suddenly Thirty podcast, Lilli and Emily debrief a very PR week and everything currently dominating the group chat.

They start with Hailey Bieber’s Australia visit and the relatable takeaway from her talk at Vogue Forces of Fashion, including saying no, shifting priorities and the realisation that you actually cannot do everything.

The conversation then moves to the Rhode launch event in Sydney, and the discourse, influencer sameness and why audiences are starting to notice the lack of diversity at brand events.

Love Island All Stars follows, diving into the drama, shifting friendships and undeniable mean-girl energy taking over the villa.

To finish, they share what they are loving, what they are over and what they are romanticising this week.

Of note:

The Unexpected Path to Growing Our Family

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 18:00:00 GMT

This episode includes discussion of pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss. If this is something you’re currently navigating, or if today isn’t the right time to listen, please take care of yourself and come back whenever it feels right. Our hearts are with you.

In this episode, Emily shares a story she never imagined would be hers.

She opens up about the journey to having a second baby — from going into it naïvely, to experiencing two early pregnancy losses, and navigating pregnancy after loss. Emily reflects on how loss reshaped her relationship with pregnancy, control, and hope, and what it’s been like to hold fear and gratitude in the same breath.

With the support of Lilli, this conversation is held gently and honestly. It makes space for the reality of grief, guarded joy, anxiety, and the quiet resilience that comes from walking a path you never expected.

They explore the heartbreak of loss, the exhaustion of the first trimester, and the slow, steady shift into reassurance — while acknowledging that pregnancy after loss is never carefree.

If this story resonates with you in any way, please know you’re not alone. Wherever you are right now, we’re holding space for you.

If this episode brings anything up for you, and you feel like you need a little extra support, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Pink Elephants Support Network offers compassionate support, resources, and community for those impacted by pregnancy loss.

The 2026 Chic List

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 18:00:00 GMT

This week on Suddenly Thirty, Emily and Lilli are marking a big milestone — the 100th episode — the only way they know how: by sharing their ultimate Chic List for 2026.

In this celebratory episode, the girls unpack all the little and big things they believe define chic living right now. From crisp cotton white sheets and natural, understated nails, to signature drinks, softly dimmed warm lighting, and the rituals that make everyday life feel intentional and elevated, nothing is off the table.

The conversation flows through personal tastes, evolving preferences, and the quiet luxuries that feel especially meaningful in this season of life. It’s a reflective and feel-good chat about creating beauty in the mundane, embracing simplicity, and leaning into what feels timeless rather than trendy.

Whether you’re listening for inspiration, validation, or simply to romanticise your own routines a little more, this episode is a love letter to the details that make life feel chic — and a joyful toast to 100 episodes.

The Cost of the Aesthetic: Fake Tuscany & the Beckhams

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Suddenly Thirty returns for its first episode of the year, with Emily and Lilli easing back in after the holiday break and catching up on the conversations that took over while they were away.

They dive into everything unfolding within the Beckham family, unpacking the ongoing Brooklyn drama and sharing their opinions on how the family fallout has played out. From family dynamics to public perception, the girls do not hold back.

The episode then shifts to the growing trend of birth announcements without ever publicly announcing a pregnancy, exploring why more people are choosing to keep pregnancies entirely offline. They discuss how this approach feels chic, intentional, and reflective of changing boundaries around privacy and performance on social media.

Australian Open fashion also gets its moment, with commentary on the look everyone is talking about, the intersection of sport and style, and why the tournament continues to be the place to be each summer.

To close, the girls introduce their new segment, Taste Court. This week, the rise of the European farmhouse aesthetic is put on trial, with thoughts on why it is everywhere right now and whether it is already reaching peak saturation.

They speak candidly about not feeling particularly inspired this season, what’s on their own Christmas wish lists, and the sweet traditions they’re bringing into their homes. The conversation moves through setting boundaries with family, navigating Christmas with a new baby, managing expectations, and finding pockets of calm in a time that can feel full-on.

Notes, nightmares and no boundaries

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 19:00:00 GMT

This week on Suddenly Thirty, Emily and Lilli unpack the chaos and spirals of adulthood — where personalised stationery becomes an essential, insurance claims turn into nightmares, and the to-do list never seems to end.

Lilli reveals her oddly life-changing personalised stationery hack (proof that pretty paper can change your life), while Emily is deep in post-accident car chaos, insurance woes, and the joyless reality of car shopping post-accident.

In between, there’s the pressure to please, awkward social obligations, parenting balance (or lack thereof), and the usual dose of unfiltered honesty that makes the mess feel a little lighter.

From the pressure to turn friendships into business opportunities to the emotional toll of constant hustle, this episode offers a thoughtful and honest look at a system that rarely delivers what it promises.

Emily finally has a happy ending to the lounge saga (spoiler: it was worth the wait), while Lilli shares the skincare routine that’s been keeping her skin hydrated and glowing this season. They chat about party planning for little people, what they're actually buying for our almost-three-year-olds, and the lessons they've learned from past gift mistakes.

They may have also discovered the best Uniqlo wool knit hack that they didn’t know we needed — one that might just help rescue those accidentally shrunken cashmere sweaters. From there, they dive into the reality of travelling with kids, what’s working, what’s not, and how they're making it through (they're here for the solo and girls trips please!).

Cold snaps, clear outs and creeping anxiety

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 19:00:00 GMT

This week’s episode is a proper catch-up. Emily and Lilli are talking about our peaks and pits — including the lounge Emily couldn't wait to get rid of, to Lilli’s ongoing vision challenges and the reality of navigating life with blurred vision.

They dive into the rise of vaping and the strange way it has become a part of everyday life — from strangers on the street to packed buses and fancy restaurants — and reflect on how we might one day look back on this moment much like we did with smoking.

The girls also unpack some of the more personal stuff, like the creeping anxiety that can come with pregnancy and postpartum — particularly the fear of getting sick, the mental load that lingers and the vulnerability that comes with this chapter.

In lighter moments, they share everything they have been watching, including the obsession with Love Island UK!

This is a thoughtful listen that moves between the deep and the light, just as real conversations often do. We hope you enjoy!

From babies to botox: how aging has changed

Tue, 27 May 2025 19:00:00 GMT

Are we aging differently than our mums did? Short answer: absolutely. But the deeper answer is more nuanced—and more revealing of our generation than you might expect.

In this episode, Emily and Lilli unpack how beauty standards, careers, motherhood, and marriage timelines have radically shifted. From anti-wrinkle cream at 30 to preventative Botox at 25, from babies by 26 to freezing eggs at 36, this conversation explores what aging looks and feels like in a completely different era.

They explore how today’s skincare culture and beauty routines are more intense and accessible than ever, how social media has transformed comparison into a daily experience, and how the age of 30 has evolved from a milestone of settling down to one of self-discovery and expansion.

With plenty of surprising stats and personal reflections woven in, this episode will make you rethink what aging “gracefully” really means.

Join us as we ask: Is aging now more free—or just more curated?

Pinterest, pleats and other delicate matters

Tue, 20 May 2025 19:00:00 GMT

This week on Suddenly Thirty, Emily and Lilli dive into a little bit of everything — from the strange world of Pinterest algorithms to dreamy head spas, chaotic Uber rides, and the documentaries they can’t stop watching.

The girls chat about the new true crime documentaries and shows they’ve been watching, along with a few unexpected viewing highlights. In a more reflective moment, they discuss the lasting emotional impact of world-changing events and what it means to live through defining moments in history.

Pinterest has taken a very strange turn — they keep getting served photos of feet. Safe to say, if someone’s feet are going to be on their feed, they’d rather it be on FeetFinder and not while they’re searching for interior inspo.

Everyone’s talking about Uber ratings, and the girls couldn’t help but take a look. They dive into their own ride-share experiences, exploring the highs and lows of Uber culture and questioning what really influences those mysterious scores.

To wrap things up, they share some stunning home decor finds, including the chicest (and cheapest) pleated lampshade currently on the market.

Gossiping, gifting and spiralling over the Kardashians

Mon, 12 May 2025 19:00:00 GMT

In this week’s catch-up episode, Emily and Lilli sit down for a good old-fashioned chat. They debrief on their Mother’s Day — from gifts and celebrations to the sweet (and not-so-sweet) moments that made up the day.

They also unpack some neighbour dramas, discuss whether they’ll ever feel “done” having kids, and reflect on their recent shopping habits and seasonal wardrobe updates.

Plus, a deep (and slightly unhinged) dive into the Kardashians — including thoughts on Kris Jenner’s legacy and what might happen when the era of the Kardashian-Jenners comes to an end.

Big news, big feels and a bit of chaos

Mon, 05 May 2025 19:00:00 GMT

Trigger warning: This episode includes conversations around pregnancy and some challenging health experiences. If you’d prefer to sit this one out, that’s completely okay. Take care of yourself.

After an unexpected two-week break, the girls are back with a big old catch up and some very special news! From their beautiful best friend’s wedding to life behind the scenes, there is lots to unpack!

Lilli shares some very special news with you all (you heard it here first!) and opens up about the journey she has been navigating over the past few months. This is a raw and honest chat about what really happens during those first few months of growing life — the joy, the challenges and everything that comes with it.

The girls also chat about the truly questionable Mother’s Day marketing that somehow has made an appearance again this year. One more time for the people in the back — Mum’s are not slobs! They don’t want polyester robes and Anko Pajamas — they just want to feel appreciated, seen and loved.

And finally, we want to take a moment to acknowledge all the mums this weekend — the new mums, the mums-to-be, those longing to become mums, those missing their mums, and those who find this day tough. However you’re feeling this Mother’s Day, we see you and we’re holding space for you.

It’s good to be back Dirty Girls — we have missed you!

Out of office, into autumn and home for Easter

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 19:00:00 GMT

In this week’s episode, Lilli and Emily cover all the essentials — from quick getaways to fashion in the changing season and everything in between.

The girls recap Emily’s whirlwind weekend away — complete with airport antics, unexpected expenses and a few too many laughs. From bidding on flight upgrades to people watching at its finest, they share the beauty of the 24-hour holiday and why short trips are sometimes exactly what you need (and how to accidentally make them feel luxe).

The girls move to a thoughtful discussion on fashion in the shifting season and what’s actually worth buying right now. They reflect on finding the balance between comfort and confidence, and how building a capsule wardrobe has brought more joy to their wardrobes (but maybe a bit less fun?).

Plus the girls chat through their Easter long weekend plans, family traditions and the joy of creating rituals as life continues to grow and shift.

They unpack big relationship shifts (including how to keep the spark alive), feeling lost when friends are in a different life stage, and the things they wished they considered before the big wedding!

Big feels, small screens and changing friendships

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 18:00:00 GMT

In this week’s episode, Lilli and Emily catch up on all things screen time, storytelling and the slow shift to the cooler months. From reflections on what’s been living rent-free on their screens to conversations about friendship dynamics, parenting shows, and the joy of a good dopamine dressing moment, the girls dive deep into the things that have been on their minds.

They chat about the shows that have captivated them lately and how delayed gratification can sometimes make a story all the more rewarding. The girls unpack friendship dynamics in their thirties — how easy it is to fall into the catch-up trap and the importance of creating new memories rather than just rehashing old ones.

We hope you enjoy!

The rise and fall of the girl boss era

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 18:00:00 GMT

In this week’s episode, Emily and Lilli explore the fall of the ‘girl boss’ era—a time that dominated much of their early twenties and career beginnings, where working yourself to the bone was worn like a badge of honour. They reflect on how hustle culture was glorified, sold to us as empowerment, and how productivity was tied to our worth. From side hustles and start-ups to full-time jobs and passion projects, it felt like the only way to succeed was to do more — more hours, more effort, more visibility, more pressure.

But now, as they settle further into their thirties, the narrative is shifting. Emily and Lilli talk about the growing rejection of that relentless grind, and the quiet power in doing enough. They unpack the societal pressure to love your job, the myth that turning your passion into your career is the ultimate goal, and the reality that many people are stepping back from burnout and choosing slower, more balanced paths.

It’s a thoughtful, honest chat about ambition, identity, and the beauty in redefining success on your own terms — whether that’s climbing the ladder, building something of your own or simply finding peace in doing work that supports the life you want to live.

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 18:00:00 GMT

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 20:00:00 GMT

Fashion, feelings and the five second rule

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 18:00:00 GMT

In this week’s episode, we’re catching up on all the things that have been on our minds - from the emotional rollercoaster of our menstrual cycles to marketplace mayhem, the girls tell all!

Emily shares her ongoing mission to be a marketplace lover, but let’s just say… it’s not going well. Between dishonest sellers and unexpected dog hair disasters, the girls unpack the struggles of buying second hand and why full disclosure is so important when selling online. Luckily, Lilli comes to the rescue with her vintage shopping expertise - sharing her tips on what to look for and how to find the best vintage pieces.

The conversation shifts to personal growth and lifestyle changes. Lilli gives an update on the shifts and changes she is making to help feel her best, including her latest hack - the five second rule - which is already changing her approach to everyday life.

The girls also chat about their latest fashion and beauty finds, from game-changing eyebrow gel to new wardrobe staples.

It’s a bit of everything - laughs, lessons and a whole lot of chat. We hope you enjoy catching up!

Preventative botox or just good skincare: What’s worth it?

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 18:00:00 GMT

In this week’s episode, Lilli and Emily dive deep into the world of beauty, skincare and self-perception in your thirties. As the girls become more aware of what actually works and what’s just clever marketing, they reflect on their skincare journeys and how the approach has changed over the years. In this episode, they unpack everything from the products they swear by to the growing influence of injectables.

As they navigate this new area of skincare awareness, they discuss the benefits of ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, and how they work to support our skin as we age. Should you start Botox in your 20s and 30s to prevent wrinkles, or can a solid skincare routine do the trick? With the rise of cosmetic injectables, more people are opting for this earlier than ever — but is it necessary?

As we get old, the changes in our skin become more noticeable and with that, comes a whole new set of choices. The girls talk about what happens to our skin as we age, the increasing popularity of injectables and the pressure that comes with it. They reflect on the societal expectations around ageing, the impact of social media in shaping our beauty ideals, and the fine line between personal empowerment and external pressure.

Beyond the science and trends, this conversation is really about how we choose to engage with beauty in a way that really aligns with our values. Whether you’re all about a dedicated skincare routine, love regular injectables or simply trying to make a choice, they’re breaking it all down — without judgment, just honest conversations about what feels right for you.

How TikTok has changed the way we dress, learn and live

Mon, 27 Jan 2025 18:00:00 GMT

In this week’s episode, Emily and Lilli share how TikTok has profoundly changed their lives in unexpected and positive ways. The girls chat about how the platform has influenced their personal style, sharing the fashion trends and styling tips they’ve learned and incorporated into their everyday lives. They reflect on how TikTok has not only provided fun and creativity, but has also impacted their daily lives. Whether it’s through styling tips, beauty advice or lifestyle hacks, the girls love that TikTok can influence real-life habits for the better.

Lilli has found a new styling hack that will make shopping and getting dressed even more effortless and chic. Inspired by Styling with Kenzie on TikTok, this hack focuses on how to make sure every piece in your wardrobe works together seamlessly, helping reduce decision fatigue and ensuring your outfit always looks polished.

The girls discuss their approach to drinking and the summer spritz (Zonzo Limoncello) that everyone is drinking. Emily shares her chic recommendation for mindful and moderate drinking - a fresh, simple way to enjoy a spritz while being intentional about alcohol consumption. It’s the perfect way to keep things light and refreshing during social events, without compromising on flavour or fun.

Lilli gives an update on her health journey and the aspects she is focusing on this year. And she also has the chicest recommendation for you all - the La Bonne Brosse Brush. Lilli also wants you to watch this doco - Don’t Die!

The birth of Emily's daughter

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 18:00:00 GMT

In this weeks episode, Emily shares the story of one of the most life-changing experiences of her life – the birth to her daughter, Posie. She shares the raw and real story of her journey into motherhood, from the final days of pregnancy to those first precious moments after birth. Emily reflects on the naivety of not knowing whether she was in labour, her decision to have a medicated birth and the joy of finding out the gender of her baby when she was born.

The girls remind us that no two birth experiences are the same - every journey is deeply personal and unique. They remind us that no matter how your birth unfolds, it can still be a positive and empowering experience. Whether it goes how you imagined or takes unexpected turns, there is beauty in embracing your own story.

As always, the girls catch up on what they have been up to - Emily’s tyre drama, Lilli’s slow return to work, their recent well-thought purchases and so much more!

Designed for all genders, it prevents vaginal imbalances, soothes irritation, and fosters a thriving genital microbiome. This innovative product empower individuals to take control of their sexual health, addressing the often-overlooked challenges of microbiome disruption caused by intimacy.

Back by popular demand but this time with a twist. This week, the girls bring you a hilarious list of 50 icks sent in by YOU, the Suddenly Thirty listeners (or should we say, Dirty Girls!?). Prepare to laugh, cringe and maybe even feel a bit called out…

Before getting into the icks, Lil and Em catch up on the week that’s been, including a very important debate on which days of the week are "odd" and "even" (trust us, it makes sense), and a deep dive into the unexpected history of dioramas. The girls also reveal the potential new name for Suddenly Thirty listeners, inspired by a friend’s suggestion. We want to hear your thoughts — does it stick?

Mon, 16 Sep 2024 19:00:02 GMT

In this week’s episode, Lilli and Emily dive into a thought-provoking conversation about the pressures and dynamics of being the eldest daughter.

In the less chic and sophisticated part of the episode, Lilli and Emily recount a hilarious online shopping mishap involving a pizza paddle that didn’t quite go as planned.

Do we like this or is it just all over Instagram?

Mon, 02 Sep 2024 19:00:29 GMT

In this week’s episode, Lilli and Emily are sharing their thoughts on the impact of social media on their personal style. While the girls (obviously!) love social media, they have become more aware of the way algorithms are showing us what we love, appreciate and believe. However, with these algorithms, we are no longer exposed to the things that are outside our taste profile. So, has social media caused the death of personal style?

The girls also catch up on their theories on the must watched series Presumed Innocent, Lilli’s experience with hair loss, Emily’s petition for free postage, and so much more!

Why is motherhood overwhelming and overstimulating?

Mon, 27 May 2024 19:00:49 GMT

In this week’s episode, the girls discuss a recent opinion piece they read, ‘Motherhood is killing me in so many ways’ which explores how we have not evolved to care for children in the capacity that we are required to today. The author describes the overwhelming stress and lack of support that many parents, especially mothers, experience. She likens motherhood to a draining job where there’s no escape, highlighting how the absence of a supportive community exacerbates parental burnout. She argues that in the past, multigenerational and community-based support systems helped share the burden of raising children, but today’s parents often navigate these challenges alone due to the rise of individualism. The author works in the wellness space and discusses how chronic stress can lead to chronic pain, heart conditions, hormonal imbalance, allergies and many more.

While the girls don’t agree with all of the opinions, they felt it warranted a pretty important discussion - what does it really take to be a mother?

As always, the girls catch up on the week that was, some new thoughts on shopping, their go-to jeans for this season, some more deodorant chats, the Taylor Swift songs that we are all sleeping on and more!

Introducing: Suddenly Thirty with Lilli and Emily

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 23:45:41 GMT

Suddenly Thirty is a podcast by Emily and Lilli. We are two friends who thought we would have it all figured out about thirty. After ticking all the so-called boxes; getting married, buying a home, becoming mothers and navigating careers, we were suddenly thirty and trying to find ourselves in the messiness of modern womanhood.

Suddenly Thirty will bring you candid, lighthearted and unfiltered conversations about moving through careers, managing relationships, transitioning into motherhood and everything in between.
