Charlotte Mortlock
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.
Money, Promotions & $mart Choices w Meggie Palmer
If you’re married or in a relationship, it’s a nice idea to think you’ll be with that person forever. But reality is - half of us won’t. And women over 55 are one of the fastest-growing groups of homeless people. There are things you can be doing right now to add to your financial security which the 50 year-old version of yourself will thank you for.  This episode I speak with money and promotion guru Meggie Palmer, founder of Pep Talk Her, for some very easy tips and ideas on how to save, invest, get promoted, get a payrise - and ultimately close the pay gap.

Schema Therapy & Attachment Styles w Dr Gemma Gladstone + Dr Justine Corry
We all form schemas based on our experiences in childhood. Once established, they can be incredibly stubborn, and they’ll often dictate the type of relationships we’ll have in the future. The good news is, you can rewire your brain. This episode I am joined by two fantastic female psychologists. We discuss how schemas impact dating, relationships and parenting.  Host and show instagram: @LarlmortlockGet in touch: [email protected]: Dr Gemma Glastone and Dr Justine Corryhttps://theredflagproject.com/

The Pandemic Bride & Unexpected Pregnancy w Emily Herbert
Every bride will tell you they are well aware their pandemic wedding was nowhere near the worst thing that’s happened in the last two years. But that doesn’t mean it’s any less heartbreaking or insignificant. Emily Herbert was living in Wanaka in New Zealand with her Welsh fiancé, but traveling back to her home town near Tamworth in north west NSW to get married when the pandemic hit Australia. They bizarrely ended up stranded on her families property for the next 18 months and falling pregnant much sooner than they planned.Hosted and produced by Charlotte Mortlock - @LarlMortlockGet in touch: [email protected]

Creativity, Heartbreak & Measuring Success w Jessie Stephens
Jessie Stephens and I met around five years ago when I slid into her DMs. Since then she has gone on to publish a critically acclaimed first book, Heartsick, which encapsulates the rawness and pain of heartbreak. Jessie speaks candidly about how sometimes there can be a lack of sparkle in the creative process, and that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad idea. We also discuss what it's like dating a dude seven years her junior (and her boss's son) + and how career success can sometimes be oddly deflating. Hosted by Charlotte Mortlock @larlmortlock

Society has an obsession with a single narrative for women. The world (and your mother) like to remind us our biological clock is ticking, in case we could ever forget. But truth is, we’re doing lots of things! As Charlotte Mortlock explores,  our 30s are nuanced, exciting, humbling and fulfilling. For some, that means starting a family. But it isn’t one size fits all.
