About this listen

Unless you’ve had a baby or got married, women in their 30s are often forgotten - or at least, rarely celebrated. The Clock aims to find common ground between women and connect us through honest, relatable conversations. Journalist Charlotte Mortlock chats to women who have taken their lives in all sorts of bold directions in a bid to remind us that while your 30s are nuanced, exciting, humbling and fulfilling, it’s certainly not one size fits all.© 2024 The Clock Social Sciences

  • I Don't Want Children, Don't Try Convince Me Otherwise w Hannah Latham
    Jan 11 2023

    Hannah Latham is a woman in her 30s who doesn’t want children, and she doesn’t need anyone to convince her otherwise. She leads a fulfilling and happy life and she thinks she’d be a great mum – but she has no desire to be a parent. In this episode Hannah and I discuss why saying that makes some people so uncomfortable.

  • Trying for a Baby Again and Again, All While Running a Business w Keira Rumble.
    Jan 4 2023

    Keira Rumble, or Krumble as you may know her, has 365,000 Instagram followers. She shot to fame as an early day influencer as she shared her pictures of travel abroad and her love for food. But what sets her aside is that she then launched a number of incredible businesses, showing her ability to have her finger on the pulse and fill niches that reflect evolving consumer demand - whether its Beauty Bites collagen bars or Habitual Beauty skincare line. 

    As well as being an influencer, she is also now respected entrepreneur - with one Beauty Bite bar sold every 15 seconds. We’ll talk about her success in this episode, but some years ago, Keira started sharing her very real fertility journey with her followers. Keira is pregnant and has one toddler, but she's had nine pregnancies. In this episode we discuss miscarriage, IVF, endometriosis and hyperemesis gravidarum.

  • Breaking Up at 30 Was the Best Thing I Ever Did w Clare Todhunter
    Dec 28 2022

    Deciding to end a long term relationship is one of the hardest decisions you’ll ever make. It often feels like you’re too far down the rabbit hole to start again, or, like you’ll be going back to square one. Clare Todhunter and I were both news reporters for Sky when she started to question her long term relationship. I had two big break ups in my late 20s and am a big proponent for starting again. A year on from Clare’s break up, she speaks candidly about how she’s settled in to being single and how she and sees the break up as a huge step forward, not backwards.
