Episode 68: Why Your 30s Can Feel Like Coming Home

Another Sheree solo episode.

Turning 32 made me pause and realise something I did not expect: my 30s are starting to feel like the decade I’ve been working toward, even though I definitely don’t have everything figured out. On a gloomy weather day with real-life mom chaos right around the corner, I wanted to capture that rare, calm, grateful headspace and talk it out like we’re voice-noting each other. If you’ve ever looked at your thirties like they were “so old,” this is your reminder that the view from here is a lot more human and a lot more hopeful.

We get into the moments that shaped this season, from celebrating big milestones like marriage and travel to finding my footing as a mom and pushing forward professionally (including earning the next license in my career). But I don’t skip the harder side of this decade either. The thirties can bring grief, shifting family dynamics, and friendships that change, whether through loss or through realising someone no longer fits your life. I share how boundaries have become less about shutting people out and more about protecting the version of me I’m trying to grow, and why having quality friends who can say “that sucks” and still stay matters so much.

We also talk practical goals for the year: getting back to feeling like me, staying on top of health and mindset, and leaning into community through the podcast, our book club, Bookstagram, and the newsletter. And because joy counts too, I’m sharing what I’ve been listening to lately for a little escapism, including Drake’s “Iceman,” Noah Kahan, Kehlani, Giveon’s “Beloved Act Two,” and new Tori Kelly singles.

If you’re navigating motherhood, adulthood, friendship shifts, or a big birthday, come hang with me for this short solo check-in.
