This week on the Females Thriving Over 30 Podcast, we’re back with Part 2 of the hobbies and low-cost activities that have been bringing us joy, peace, and sanity lately — especially after a wild, exhausting weekend at the International Ms UK finals!

From pottery to hand-knitting chunky blankets to rediscovering old diaries (and the chaos inside them), this episode is full of nostalgia, laughter, and plenty of “we are definitely getting older” moments.

We also talk MOT fails, murder mystery pageant drama, getting colder with age, and the hilarious reality of becoming the kind of adults who get excited about sewing boxes and warm coats.
