  Perimenopause in Your 30s: The Symptoms Nobody Warns You About with Martina Loebenberg

  Aug 6, 202656 minS7

  Anxiety that comes from nowhere. Brain fog that makes you feel incompetent at your own job. Exhaustion no amount of sleep fixes. If you're in your 30s or 40s and these symptoms sound familiar, you need to hear this conversation. This week on Females Thriving Over 30, Soraya sits down with Martina Loebenberg — former competitive bodybuilder turned corporate professional — who spent almost a decade being told her symptoms were depression, ADHD, burnout, or "just London life," before finally connecting the dots to perimenopause. Martina opens up about the years-long fight to be taken seriously by doctors, why she eventually went private for HRT, how perimenopause can intensify ADHD and neurodivergent traits, the toll it took on her relationships and sense of self, and the moment estrogen finally lifted her brain fog. This episode covers: The first signs of perimenopause most women miss (and blame on stress) Why ADHD and other neurodivergent traits can intensify during perimenopause Navigating NHS vs. private HRT prescriptions in the UK What it actually costs to see a private menopause specialist How perimenopause affects relationships, libido, and your sense of self How to advocate for yourself when a doctor tells you "everything's normal" Plus: it's a season finale!

  The Child-free Lifestyle Gets a Community ft DINK Social

  Jul 30, 202651 minS7

  "DINK" stands for Dual Income, No Kids — and it's become one of the fastest-growing lifestyle labels among couples choosing not to have children. This week, Soraya and Jasmine sit down with Charlie and Ali, the husband-and-wife founders of DINK Social, the first social app built specifically for child-free couples. They talk about how the DINK lifestyle actually plays out day to day, why the community around it took off faster than they ever expected, and what "child-free by choice" really looks like once you get past the internet's assumptions, backlash, and the cliché "lavish, carefree" stereotype. Along the way: the difference between child-free by choice and child-free by circumstance, handling family pressure over kids in your 30s and 40s, and why adult friendship might be the hardest part of any of this. Whether you're a DINK yourself, child-free by circumstance, a parent, or just DINK-curious, this episode will change how you think about what counts as a full life. In this episode we cover: What actually made them decide to be child-free (hint: it started with a puppy) How DINK Social went from a TikTok video to 500+ waitlist signups overnight The wildest assumptions people made about a couples-only app Why the online backlash against child-free couples can get so ugly The truth about the "lavish, carefree DINK lifestyle" stereotype What to say to family members who won't stop asking when you're having kids Why child-free and parent friendships can absolutely coexist What's next for DINK Social, including their first group trip to Sardinia in 2027 Find DINK Social: Instagram & socials: @dinksocial Get the App Get Tickets for our Live Event Here Watch Soraya's TEDx talk and please like, comment and share to support the channel.

  9 to 5 vs 5 to 9: Finding Meaning Beyond Your Work Title

  Jul 26, 202639 minS7

  Is your job successful — or does it actually feel meaningful? On this episode of Females Thriving Over 30, Jasmine and Soraya sit down with returning guest Urmi — a finance professional by day, self-published author, speaker, YouTuber and podcaster by night — to unpack what it really takes to build a career with purpose beyond a job title. Urmi shares the moment she realised a "successful" career (the promotions, the pay rises, the external validation) wasn't the same as a fulfilling one, why the hours between five and nine can matter as much as your nine-to-five, and how the Japanese concept of Ikigai helped her find meaning in the everyday. We talk through side hustles versus passion projects, building a personal brand on LinkedIn without burning out, the very real financial fears that keep women stuck in careers that no longer fit, and why — whatever your age — it's never too late to start over. If you're a woman in her 30s questioning your career path, feeling the pull of a passion project, or just trying to figure out what comes after "successful," this conversation is for you.

  Child-Free by Choice: Why More Women Are Opting Out of Motherhood (with Ashleigh Russell)

  Jul 16, 202650 minS7

  Is having kids still the "default" path for women — or is that starting to change? This week, Soraya and Jasmine sit down with Ashleigh Russell to talk about her decision to be child-free, and why she's never wavered on it. They get into the judgment that comes with saying "I don't want kids" out loud, the real financial cost of raising a child in the UK today, why "selfish" might actually be "self-aware," and what it's really like navigating relationships, family, and even medical professionals when children simply aren't part of your plan. Whether you're child-free, a parent, still deciding, or just curious — this is an honest, unfiltered conversation about choice, identity, and building a life that's actually yours. PS: Apologies for Soraya's sound at the beginning. The heatwave and using a fan is not a good combo for the mic and the sound Females Thriving Over 30 is the podcast for millennial women navigating love, life, confidence, finances, and starting over — one honest conversation at a time.
