It's the Season 6 farewell episode of Females Thriving Over 30, and we're going out with a bang.

Soraya and Jasmine get real about the AI trends that are genuinely frightening — including how social media platforms may already own your voice, how influencers are faking entire life moments with AI-generated photos, and why filters have become so convincing that a missing girl couldn't be identified from her own photos.

Jasmine opens up about her recent visit to the hospital for genetic heart testing after her dad was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy — sharing the emotional reality of facing a family health condition, what it's like to sit in a hospital waiting for results, and why she almost didn't go at all.

We also cover: completing a virtual marathon walking challenge, running a 10K in 10-year-old trainers (not recommended), learning chess, Duolingo guilt, phonics vs. the alphabet, and the joy of buying new running shoes just to justify using them.

Plus: what's coming in Season 7 — including an investing interview already booked, new guests, and big things ahead.

If you have a family history of heart conditions, Jasmine shares how she got referred for genetic testing and why you don't have to wait for a GP to bring it up. And if you're on Meta — go check your voice cloning settings after listening to this.

What if everything you've been told about self-love is wrong?

We're taught self-love means bubble baths, face masks, and affirmations in the mirror. But real self-love in your 30s often looks uncomfortable — letting friendships go, setting boundaries that disappoint people, and choosing a life that doesn't match the timeline society handed you.

This week, Jasmine and Soraya are joined by Lisa Bennett — emergency responder, open-heart surgery survivor, and the reigning Ms Universal Petite Australia 2026 — for an honest conversation about what self-love really means when you've had a brush with death and decided to live differently.

Whether you're feeling stuck, behind, or just ready to stop people-pleasing, this episode is a permission slip to start choosing yourself.

✨ What You’ll Learn in this episode

• Why self-love is uncomfortable (and why that's the point)

• Lisa's three pillars of self-love: physical, emotional, and environmental

• How to set boundaries with friends without guilt • The "love / not love" list exercise that can change your life in one afternoon

• Why your timeline doesn't have to match anyone else's

• How to stop comparing yourself to social media

• Doing things alone — and learning to enjoy your own company

• Why dressing well (even at home) genuinely changes your mood

• Trusting your gut when something in your life isn't right

If your foundation is creasing, your eyeliner is disappearing into your lid, and your "signature look" suddenly feels off — it's not you. It's that the makeup rules for skin over 30 are completely different, and nobody tells you when they change.

In this episode, Soraya and Jasmine sit down with professional makeup artist Helena Walker to break down exactly why the products and techniques that worked in our 20s stop working after 30, 35, and 40 — and what to do instead.
