Ah dating - brings back glorious memories of being ghosted, falling for the (obvious) wrong guy, and getting the worst mixed signals EVER, that not even the world’s top psychologist could figure out. But, alas…that’s just my heart-warming recollection, and rather than it be about me (which is quite unfortunate, really), I have invited a guest on the show to give us insights about what men REALLY think about dating in their 20s Vs. 30s. If you’re dating in your 30s and your fingers have gotten more swiping action than you have lip-locking a decent bloke, then this honest, no-bs view of what men in their 30s think about dating is for you. We cover: What do men do differently when it comes to dating in their 20s vs 30s What are men looking for in their 30s How to spot red flags What women (and men) in their 30s can expect when it comes to dating men in their 30s Why can’t there be more decent men!! (Oh wait, that’s not covered in the episode just a frank observation by me!)

In this episode, we get real and raw and talk about my journey into motherhood as a 38-year-old. Pregnancy is hard at any age but as a 37-38-year-old who had NO idea about pregnancy and who fell pregnant first go... it was a crazy bloody journey, to say the least!  I give you my no-BS take on my experience on everything to do with pregnancy including: The plan to fall pregnant – discussion of when we agreed and age-related issues Reality hit – boom you're pregnant, now what!? Telling family & friends What do I do next? Useless doctors & doctor Google + Covid What hospital do I go to – Please not Fairfield! Oh shit, what to buy for me & baby People's useless advice! I'm scared – the things they don’t tell you. Birth...just wow Dr Dre Feat Eminem – The (placenta) aftermath! I'm a mum! Reflecting on my journey. Show notes: Youtube videos we watched every week - cute to watch and super helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4UPKPv7v38  The App I used during my pregnancy: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/pregnancy-tracker-app/id505864483 

Hi, I'm Janine Marin and welcome to the NO BS Beyond 30 podcast - the show for people like us who want to hear real stories about what life is like in our 30's and beyond without the bullsh*t! If you're anything like me, you don't mind: a bit of healthy confrontation about matters that matter to you; you have a strong sense of standing up for your values; you revel in breaking open the can of worms that many are so scared to talk about and; you want to belong to a group of likeminded people who have the balls to say what's on their mind without the BS! Every episode I'll share stories - either from myself or guests - about everyday life in our 30's and beyond and I warn you: it's totally unfiltered, so if swearing, stigmas or sensitive topics aren't your thang, then move right along...please.  At most I hope you find this podcast entertaining and at best, I hope you feel like you've found your people - a community of likeminded folk who share stories that make you feel like you're not alone in this wonderful (at the best of times) journey we call life.
