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.

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.

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.
