In this empowering episode, I sit down with the incredible Jenny Claffey for an open and honest conversation about what it really means to grow older—especially as a woman. Far too often, women fear the transition from their 20s to their 30s, but Jenny and I are here to dismantle those fears. Jenny shares how she’s learned to love the process of getting to know herself in her 30s and how she’s embraced being comfortable with who she is. We dive into the chaotic years of our 20s, the brooding intensity of our teenage years, and the reality that nostalgia can sometimes hold us back. Most importantly, we explore what makes your 30s a time to look forward to, with more self-acceptance, growth, and freedom than ever before. Tune in for a refreshing perspective on aging with grace, confidence, and a whole lot of laughter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Learn about the powerful impact of this initiative on both the environment and the lives of women, as Nora discusses the journey of building the enterprise and the invaluable support they’ve received from the EU Just Transition Fund.

In this episode, I dive deep into the complex intersection of alcohol, friendships, and the evolving landscape of social life in your twenties. I explore how drinking culture influences our relationships, how shifting dynamics in friendships often reflect larger changes in our personal values, and how the quest for meaning and connection evolves over time. From the rise of "sober curiosity" and the growing movement of individuals questioning their relationship with alcohol, to the challenges of building authentic community in an age dominated by capitalism, we unpack it all. How does alcohol shape our sense of self and our social interactions? What does it mean to "outgrow" certain friendships as your life priorities shift? And what happens when traditional spaces for gathering and connection — bars, clubs, and other third spaces — become increasingly commodified or inaccessible? Tune in for a thoughtful conversation on how to navigate these transitions, build healthier relationships with alcohol (and ourselves), and find meaningful ways to connect in a world that often feels disconnected.
