  • Finally someone gave voice to navigating being a woman in your 30s

    Discovered this podcast by coincidence and was a big surprise. I really struggle to find podcasts that I find relatable but this is so on point. The topics are soooo relatable and I love the vulnerality and lyds always speak about things that I also feel. Would highly recommend to give it a listen, you won’t regret it!! The best podcast for navigating your 30s 🧡

  • Totally relatable & thought-provoking

    What I love about The Weird Years is that I feel I can relate to every topic Lydia and her guests have discussed in some way, whether I’m currently experiencing it or already have. Discussions can get deep, but have you cackling out loud the next minute, but regardless they are such necessary discussions that make me - as a 30-something year old - feel seen and not alone. I love this and it has provoked many discussions with my partner and friends about our lives, wants, dreams and everyday life... more
