In this week's episode we hear from Eliza - and we really wanted to tell this story because we think it'll resonate with so many of us. A successful, secure person, Eliza is still troubled by the thought that life is somehow passing her by.

At 35, she's tired of seeing all her friends happily settled down - and social media just rubs salt in the wound daily, with endless picture-perfect engagement and baby announcements. She always says she's happy - and most of the time she is. But deep down, she wonders when it will be her turn... Add the usual family pressures and the seemingly unavoidable dating apps and it's a recipe for an awful lot of angst which so many of us have felt.

So we're going to explore why we feel the pressure to relentlessly pursue those life milestones - and we discover that 35 is NOT an age to be giving up!
