So, some (or all) of your friends have had a baby? And you’ve heard some mutterings about a ‘biological clock’? Ugh. That old chestnut. Even the idea of caring for a small child or tiny baby gives you heart palpitations.. You are only just keeping yourself alive after all. 

And is a child even in your future?

Today we’re talking to Nell Frizzell, author of ‘The Panic Years: dates, doubts & the mother of all decisions’.

What are The Panic Years? She describes them as 'something between adolescence and menopause, a personal crisis, a transformation.. They can be triggered somewhere between the ages of twenty-five and forty' so if you're about to head into your 30s.. you may even be in your panic years right now. 

And the biggest decision during your Panic Years? Whether or not to have a baby.

You can pre-order Nell's book The Panic Years here.

How To Turn 30 is hosted and produced by Riley-Rose Harper

The transition from your 20s to your 30s isn’t always as seamless as we may have imagined it when we were growing up.

We go from a decade of semi-adulting, taking little and perfectly acceptable life-fumbles before manically trying to ‘have it all’ by the time we reach The Big Three Oh.  

Join Riley-Rose Harper (who happens to be 29 and 3/4...) as she takes a closer look at the pressures that come along with the milestone by speaking to guests who’ve been there, bought the t-shirt and.. sometimes even written a book about it.

How To Turn 30 is for anyone who's ever had a conversation with their best friend about 'how old' you're getting because, as we'll soon find out, nope.. you're not getting old. It’s just a transition, not a deadline and your most exciting age maybe hasn’t even happened yet.
