  • Leaks, let downs and more TMI
    Aug 5 2025

    In this week's episode, the girls are back with a good old-fashioned catch-up — and honestly, this one’s a bit of a ride. They kick things off with an unhinged deep dive into the weird, wild, and downright unexpected parts of postpartum life. From body changes to brain fog, they open up about the things they experienced that no one really prepares you for.


    They then share what they’ve been loving lately — what they’ve been buying, wearing, watching, and everything in between.


    Whether you're in the newborn bubble, deep in your shopping era, or just here for the chaos — there’s something in this one for you.

  • Selling the dream, buying the lie: The reality of MLMs
    Jul 29 2025

    In this episode, Emily and Lilli dive into the world of multi-level marketing schemes — unpacking the glossy promises, emotionally charged DMs, and the often-unseen financial and social costs behind them.


    They explore how MLMs operate, why women — particularly millennials and mothers — are so often targeted, and how the language of empowerment and entrepreneurship is used to recruit. 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.


    Whether someone has been approached, involved, or simply curious, this conversation offers clarity, context, and a moment to reflect — without shame or judgment.

  • Just Girl Things: Bieber, Coldplay & Love Island
    Jul 22 2025

    In this week’s episode of Suddenly Thirty, Emily and Lilli catch up on the chaos and culture dominating their group chats—from Coldplay headlines to Justin Bieber’s surprise album drop (which is officially on repeat).


    They dive into what’s been on their screens (hint: Love Island is taking over their lives), plus everything they’ve been reading, eating, and obsessing over lately.


    It’s a cosy mix of pop culture hot takes, honest recs, and the kind of conversation that feels like a phone call with your besties.

  • SAD girl season: how to fall in love with winter (sort of)
    Jul 15 2025

    As winter deepens, Emily and Lilli are embracing a slower, softer rhythm and reflecting on what it means to truly winter well in their thirties.


    In this episode, they explore the quiet comforts, grounding rituals and seasonal shifts that are helping them move through the cold months with a little more intention and a lot more gentleness. From the way they’re dressing to the way they’re winding down, this is a conversation about creating beauty in the everyday, finding pleasure in the practical, and allowing yourself to lean into rest.


    With seasonal low mood affecting so many during this time of year, Emily and Lilli also share how they’re supporting their mental and emotional wellbeing in subtle but powerful ways. Whether you’re thriving in your cooler months or feeling the seasonal slump, this episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and romanticise the rhythm of the quieter months.

  • TikTok made us do it: Our top five mornings
    Jul 8 2025

    It’s time for a good old-fashioned catch-up. Emily and Lilli are back in your ears chatting about what they’ve been reading, watching, wearing, eating, listening to, and loving lately. From books we couldn’t put down to shows worth bingeing, style picks, and everything in between — it's the round-up you’ve been waiting for.

    We also celebrate a special milestone as Lilli turns 32 (!), reflect on the year that was, and chat about what it really feels like to be well and truly in our thirties.

    Plus, the girls jump on the TikTok Top Five Mornings trend and share the mornings we romanticise the most — from slow weekend rituals to those sweet, surreal early days with a newborn. It’s a feel-good episode filled with inspiration, nostalgia, and plenty of laughs.

  • The questions you only ask anonymously
    Jul 1 2025

    In this week’s episode of Suddenly Thirty, Emily and Lilli dive into the anonymous question box they dropped on Instagram, where listeners sent in their life dilemmas, style queries and everything in between.


    They chat about the reality of working from home and what to do when it starts to feel isolating, especially when you’ve got young kids and crave connection. Emily opens up about her recent move and the reasons behind the change, while Lilli shares her experience navigating an unexpected baby gender. The girls also unpack the tension between being financially sensible while still wanting to shop and live stylishly. From budgeting tips to shopping smart, it’s all about balance.


    A little bit reflective, a little bit practical, and with plenty of laughs.

  • Skincare, soft furnishings and small humans
    Jun 24 2025

    In this week’s episode, the girls are taking a moment to catch up on life — no agenda, just what’s been on their minds.


    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
    Jun 17 2025

    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!
