Turning 30 Podcast

Today I am joined by comfort zone queen Megan Seamens, to talk about how to get out of your comfort zone. Megan is only 28 and she has spent most of her twenties living her life according to joy and not what society says you should do! That is why I knew she would be the perfect guest to tell us the theories behind why comfort zones exist and how breaking out of them can have a ripple effect to change all areas of your life. In this episode Megan shares her personal story, we discuss the link between turning 30 and why it is a time that forces us to question our comfort zones and why living according to fear can keep you stuck in a life that isn’t in line with what you really want. Most importantly, Megan gives practical steps for where to start if you finally feel ready to make some changes!

This episode is a showcase of one of the most profound client transformations I have had the pleasure to support.

My client Kam’s life looked very different two years ago when she first reached out to me for a consultation call.

She was officially stuck in a rut. Just about to turn 30 she had a ‘good, stable’ job she didn’t like and had been debating leaving for a while, was in a relationship that she knew had no long-term future, was living at home with her parents and was struggling to see how she could get out of this situation to create a new future in her thirties.

After reading books and podcasts about personal development in 2020, she decided that she actually wanted to start to actually implement some of the things she was reading about and make big life changes. That’s what led her to coaching and to signing up to a 1:1 program.

Fast forward two years, her life has done a complete 180.

She ended her relationship, found a new job, bought her own place and moved out of her parents house and has spent the past year going on solo travel adventures and enjoying her life. Most of all the goal that she set, and is continuously working on, is having so much more life in her years, a mentality that Kam also has inspired me to adopt.

All of these external results are cause for celebration, but as you will hear in the episode, the biggest change of all was her mindset. Kam took a long, hard look at her thoughts and used coaching tools to create a new internal narrative. Through coaching, she has learnt to enjoy the journey that is life, and to stop worrying so much about the destination.

From panicking about being single and never meeting anyone, to now embracing her thirties and living a life on her terms, she is the perfect example of a Turning 30 success story.

EPISODE

Do you ever feel like you have something that you really wanted to achieve by a certain age, yet it still hasn’t happened yet?

Are you sitting on a deep desire to create something in the world, yet you’re not actually taking any action?

This is what happened to this week’s guest is the author and my personal thirties role model, Jamie Varon, who I invited onto the podcast to share her turning 30 story and her journey to becoming a published author.

When Jamie turned 30 she realized that her life’s dream to write a book hadn’t yet come to fruition, and so she got to work and set out to make it happen. Her story is such a testament to how we can use our birthdays as wake up calls to get clear on what we really want and

As well as sharing her turning 30 story, we dive into so many important topics about bringing a dream into reality, including facing fear, the importance of journaling, consistency, resilience, belief and magic.

This episode is for you if you know that your thirties are destined to be better than your twenties, and you want to be inspired to make it happen.

To celebrate the 80th episode of the Turning 30 Podcast I have recorded a special episode sharing some of the findings and interesting things I have learnt from my thousands of hours spent in coaching session with thirty-something women.

As well as being a coach, I feel as though I am also running a social experiment. I get front row seats to my client’s lives, their thoughts, their emotions and their behaviour.

Day in, day out, we talk about all of the topics that are relevant to our age group. I get the privilege of seeing the inner workings of people’s minds and understanding how the affects their actions.

I hear stories unfolding and get to be a witness to the process that my clients go through when dealing with big life changes, from career shifts, to break-ups and dating adventures, friendships and more.

Almost two years ago I released an episode sharing what I have learnt from 500 hours of coaching sessions, and since then I have logged many more than that. To celebrate this milestone of 80 podcast episodes and the fact the doors are open to my Next Chapter program, I thought it was a good idea to add some near interesting insights and share them on the Podcast.

I think it’s safe to say I’m an expert in all things Turning 30! I have learnt SO much from my clients about turning 30 and growing up and in this special episode I share the findings of my social experiment of 1000 hours plus of conversations with all of you, so you can also get a true insight into turning 30 and most importantly, realizing that you are not alone.

This episode is dedicated to my amazing clients.

The Next Chapter group still has spots left!!

It is an immersive group of women (it will likely be less than 10 of us) coming together weekly to learn coaching methods/tools that will help you to reach whatever goal/thing you are currently stuck on. This can be in relation to any area in your life- from careers/relationships/friendships/lifestyle.

Themes: dating, single life, dating apps, relationships, beliefs, mindset, self-love, confidence.

On this week’s podcast episode I have invited back Caitlin Smith, better known as The Compatibility Coach, for an honest girl talk all about dating in your thirties.

Let’s be real, dating can be tough and the online dating space today can cause many people to decide to throw the towel in altogether and to focus on other areas of life.

But what does that mean for those who still want to meet somebody? Keep living your life and hope for the best?

In this episode we dive into topics surrounding the realities of dating, and why so many of us experience dating burnout and feel that we are ‘interviewing’ for jobs roles. Caitlin shares her experience of never experiencing a relationship until her late twenties, and I share my story of being on and off single and what it was like re-entering the dating world again at age 33.

We also discuss why the key to getting your sparkle back may be to take a step back and delete the apps, how our mindsets are key in transforming our dating lives, the part luck plays in meeting someone, how to not get obsessed with dating, the key differences between men and women in the dating world and how to be the one that is picking instead of waiting to be picked.

If you ever feel exhausted from dating- or tend to avoid it altogether, this episode is for you!
