About this listen

Suddenly Thirty is a podcast by Emily and Lilli. We are two friends who thought we would have it all figured out by 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.

  • Wrapped Up: Christmas, ChatGPT & The Year That Was
    Dec 9 2025

    In this week’s episode, Emily and Lilli share their ChatGPT Wrapped — the hilariously accurate, slightly confronting, and strangely wholesome breakdown of their most-asked questions and the themes that shaped their year. From toddler negotiations to postpartum mysteries to naming deep-dives, nothing escapes the wrap-up.


    From the realities behind their most-Googled questions to the quiet magic of the season — The conversation moves through postpartum changes that no one warns you about, including the unexpected shift in shoe sizes and the subtle physical and emotional transformations that seem to show up long after the typical “six-week check.”

    From end-of-year reflections to bodies that keep evolving in motherhood — nothing is off limits.

  • The art of a slower Christmas
    Dec 2 2025

    In this week’s festive episode, Emily and Lilli answer all your questions about navigating the lead-up to Christmas — the joy, the pressure, and the quiet overwhelm that seems to have snuck up this year.


    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.


    From where they’re sourcing their wrapping paper to carving out rest and finding moments of magic — nothing is off limits.

    Here are some of the things Emily and Lilli mention in the episode:

    For bows and festive decor, the girls love pieces from Rose Van Eyk and Straw London. Lilli’s tree skirt and Emily’s tree skirt both make an appearance, adding a soft, elevated touch to their holiday setups.


    When it comes to wrapping paper, they’re reaching for the beautiful prints from Sharland Gift and Maileg. And for stockings, their favourites include the sweet, nostalgic styles from Pops and Piaf, Rosita, and Rylee and Cru.

  • Welcoming Grey: a home birth story
    Nov 25 2025

    After a month away, Lilli and Emily return with a heartfelt, life-filled catch up — because a lot can happen in four weeks. In this week’s episode, the duo reunites behind the mic to talk about the biggest news of all: the arrival of baby Grey and the beginning of life as a family of five.


    Lilli opens up about her home birth — an intimate and powerful experience that unfolded in the comfort of her own space. She reflects on the emotions, the surprises, the support, and the moments she’ll never forget, offering a candid look at what it felt like to welcome Grey into the world exactly as she had hoped.


    The conversation moves through the early days of newborn life and how everyone is adjusting to this new chapter. From slow mornings to the beautiful chaos of five, Lilli gives a glimpse into her world right now — tender, transformative, and very real.


    A gentle, genuine catch up to ease back in — and we're so glad to be back!
