Suddenly Thirty
Two girls, too many cups
In Episode 54, Emily and Lilli dive deep into the realities of trying to balance it all — family, career, friendships, exercise, self-care and more.. But what happens when life doesn’t let you fill every cup? Spoiler: not every cup needs to be filled at once, and that's perfectly okay. Emily and Lilli share their personal experiences, discuss the guilt that comes with trying to manage everything, and offer practical advice on how to prioritise what matters most when the demands of life are overwhelming.
Before getting into the topic of balance, the girls start off by sharing what they’ve been up to this week. Lilli is facing another week of gastro and Emily picked up her new piece of jewellery. The girls also share their gripes with marketplace (as much as they love it!) and their current must-watch tv series.

51:58||Ep. 48In this week’s episode, Lilli and Emily are sharing their thoughts on the impact of social media on their personal style. While the girls (obviously!) love social media, they have become more aware of the way algorithms are showing us what we love, appreciate and believe. However, with these algorithms, we are no longer exposed to the things that are outside our taste profile. So, has social media caused the death of personal style?The girls also catch up on their theories on the must watched series Presumed Innocent, Lilli’s experience with hair loss, Emily’s petition for free postage, and so much more!Shop Lilli’s wishlistShop Emily’s wishlistSubscribe to the Suddenly Thirty Substack where we collate all the things we’ve been into this week and share them with you.
