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!).Subscribe to the Suddenly Thirty Substack where we collate all the things we’ve been into this week and share them with you.

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.

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.Join us as we ask: Is aging now more free—or just more curated?Subscribe to the Suddenly Thirty Substack where we collate all the things we’ve been into this week and share them with you.

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.Subscribe to the Suddenly Thirty Substack where we collate all the things we’ve been into this week and share them with you.

Trigger warning: This episode includes conversations around pregnancy and some challenging health experiences. If you’d prefer to sit this one out, that’s completely okay. Take care of yourself.After an unexpected two-week break, the girls are back with a big old catch up and some very special news! From their beautiful best friend’s wedding to life behind the scenes, there is lots to unpack!Lilli shares some very special news with you all (you heard it here first!) and opens up about the journey she has been navigating over the past few months. This is a raw and honest chat about what really happens during those first few months of growing life — the joy, the challenges and everything that comes with it. The girls also chat about the truly questionable Mother’s Day marketing that somehow has made an appearance again this year. One more time for the people in the back — Mum’s are not slobs! They don’t want polyester robes and Anko Pajamas — they just want to feel appreciated, seen and loved.And finally, we want to take a moment to acknowledge all the mums this weekend — the new mums, the mums-to-be, those longing to become mums, those missing their mums, and those who find this day tough. However you’re feeling this Mother’s Day, we see you and we’re holding space for you.It’s good to be back Dirty Girls — we have missed you!Subscribe to the Suddenly Thirty Substack where we collate all the things we’ve been into this week and share them with you.

In this week’s episode, Lilli and Emily cover all the essentials — from quick getaways to fashion in the changing season and everything in between. The girls recap Emily’s whirlwind weekend away — complete with airport antics, unexpected expenses and a few too many laughs. From bidding on flight upgrades to people watching at its finest, they share the beauty of the 24-hour holiday and why short trips are sometimes exactly what you need (and how to accidentally make them feel luxe). The girls move to a thoughtful discussion on fashion in the shifting season and what’s actually worth buying right now. They reflect on finding the balance between comfort and confidence, and how building a capsule wardrobe has brought more joy to their wardrobes (but maybe a bit less fun?). Plus the girls chat through their Easter long weekend plans, family traditions and the joy of creating rituals as life continues to grow and shift.Lilli’s new sambas Lilli’s dream Jenni Kayne knit (code: CANDY for extra 10% off)Lilli’s P Johnson pantsSubscribe to the Suddenly Thirty Substack where we collate all the things we’ve been into this week and share them with you.
