ThurtyFM

#JameliaDonaldson #ThurtyFM #SeasonFinaleWe are ending this season a little different...No guest. Just Jamelia.For the season finale of ThurtyFM, Jamelia sits down alone to do something she has spent the whole season asking other women to do... get honest.Jamelia opens up about the decade that changed everything. The checklist she spent her 20s ticking off. All the things that looked right from the outside and still left her standing in the middle of her 30s asking, but how does it actually feel?This episode goes deep on the messy middle. The silence that comes when the noise stops and you are left with nothing but your own truth. The undoing. The rebuilding. And the moment she realised that choosing yourself is not selfish, it is the only way through.She also shares why ThurtyFM exists. Not as a platform. Not as a brand. But as a genuine attempt to move the conversations that matter offline and into the open, for every woman who has ticked every box and still felt like something quietly doesn't add up.If this season has felt like company on a road you thought you were walking alone, this final episode is for you.Thank you for being here.

Estare has been creating content for nearly 15 years. She started on YouTube during her final year at the London College of Fashion, long before everyone had a ring light and a content strategy. What kept her going wasn't a formula. It was vulnerability, consistency, and a willingness to show up unpolished when the rest of the world was perfecting their aesthetic.But this conversation goes much deeper than content creation. Estare gets honest about the executive decisions she has had to make in her 30s, ending friendships, protecting her energy, and choosing her own peace over other people's comfort. Even when that means family. She talks about growing up in a large blended family, navigating complex dynamics, and what it really means to love people unconditionally while still holding your own boundaries firm.And then there's motherhood. Having her son at 17 was a curveball that reshaped everything. She is clear about what that means for her: she is his protector first, always.Estare is someone who has built something real in a crowded industry, survived things she didn't have to share, and is still in the middle of figuring out what comes next. That honesty is exactly what makes this episode one of those conversations that stay with you.If you're in a season of testing and leaning on faith to find your direction, this one is for you.Subscribe to ThurtyFM — new episodes every Thursday.ABOUT THURTYFMThurtyFM is the podcast for women navigating their 30s on their own terms.

#ElizabethUviebinene #ThurtyFM #jameliadonaldson What if everything you're chasing now is really just a return to who you already were at nine years old?Elizabeth Uviebinené gets honest in this one. The girl from Peckham who used to "yap" in front of her teachers, the teenager who wrote five and ten year plans, and the woman who has pivoted from HSBC marketing to bestselling author to FT columnist to tech founder, all while staying rooted in the same vision she had at sixteen: control, direction, and never being a passenger in her own life.This conversation goes deep on something we don't talk about enough: how friendships shift in your 30s, not because of fallouts, but because life pulls people in different directions. The voice notes that replace the group chat. The friends who wouldn't make the guest list anymore, and the quiet grief that comes with that.And then there's the courage conversation. Elizabeth opens up about not being fearless, despite what her career might suggest, and why she believes avoiding failure is really just avoiding growth.Elizabeth is someone who has built in public, pivoted without apology, and turned her own personal practices into a tech company helping other people find their blueprint. This episode is one of those conversations that stays with you.If you've ever wondered whether becoming who you are is really just remembering who you've always been, this is for you.Subscribe to ThurtyFM — new episodes every Thursday.ABOUT THURTYFMThurtyFM is the podcast for women navigating their 30s on their own terms.

#RemiBurgz #ThurtyFM #JameliaDonaldsonWhat happens when a car accident at 20 makes you realise just how fleeting life really is?Remi Burgz gets honest in this one. The accident that changed her perspective. The boundaries she had to learn to set, even when they felt uncomfortable. The year she spent praying for discernment, and what it taught her body to physically feel before her mind could catch up.This conversation goes deep on something we don't talk about enough: how to forgive yourself for who you used to be, and how to build a new foundation once you've outgrown the old one.And then there's the giving back. Remi founded the Energy Provider Fund to support families facing fuel poverty, an issue she lived through herself, because she refused to wait until she had "everything together" to act on her vision.Remi is someone who has grown in public, set boundaries unapologetically, and found her mojo all over again in her 30s.

Ciara London changed online fitness forever - built a gym, a global community, and a business from the ground up. BUT before the brand, the retreats, and the sold-out programmes ... she had to get out first.In this conversation, Jamelia Donaldson sits down with Ciara London to talk about the stuff that doesn't make the highlight reel. Leaving a toxic relationship. Building something of your own when your confidence is at its lowest. And deciding, in your 30s, that you're done living by everyone else's rules.They get into something so many women feel but rarely say out loud... that hunger in your 20s to be chosen. By a partner, a job, a group, a life. And the quiet shift that happens in your 30s when you realise the only person whose approval you actually needed was your own.They also get into the Sunday blues; that specific kind of quiet that hits childfree women in their 30s when the world keeps telling you something is missing. Spoiler: nothing is.Because some of the boldest lives look nothing like the plan.If you're in the middle of rewriting your own story — this one is for you.Subscribe to ThurtyFM so you don't miss what's next.ABOUT THURTYFMThurtyFM is the podcast for women navigating their 30s on their own terms.

#FisayoMartins #FinanceMattersUK #ThurtyFMFisayo Martins the founder of Finance Matters UK, left a Senior Manager role at Lloyds Banking Group, a career built across Central Finance, Commercial Banking, and Treasury, and chose to start over.

No jargon, no judgment. Just the real framework behind why so many women in their 30s are earning well, ticking boxes, and still quietly wondering where it's all going.If money has ever felt like something you were supposed to have figured out by now, drop it in the comments.

Beyond aesthetics, hair has the power to transform lives, instill confidence, and create connections that foster empowerment and belonging. This is a different type of episode - this time I’m the one answering the questions. Join me and Simon Squibbs as we delve into the notion that purpose is not always an immediate revelation; rather, it's a beautiful evolution that requires patience and self-discovery.  As we explore the transformative power of purpose, we uncover how it goes beyond individual fulfillment and has the ability to create meaningful connections and communities.  Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation that challenges conventional perceptions and highlights the profound role of purpose in every aspect of our lives.
