Turning 30 Podcast
Turning 30 and When your Thirties Look Nothing Like you Planned in your Twenties ft Jelena Holodkova
30 Sep 2022
For most of us, a life where we hit all the milestones and tick all the ‘right’ boxes in our twenties is a path we were never on in the first place. But this is not the case for all of us. There are those who go through their twenties and successfully tick off all of the correct checklists and hit the milestones that society adores so much at exactly the expected time: Stable job in revered profession - tick Year on year promotion - tick Buying a property in London - tick Long-term relationship - tick Dream destination wedding - tick But what if something happens when you are 29 and your life turns upside down? What if you are thrown into a new reality as you face your thirties that you could never once have imagined. This is the story of this week’s podcast guest, Jelena Holodkova who seemingly had her twenties (and therefore her thirties) all figured out. Her circumstances changed, as she shares in the episode, and the result was a huge, life-altering shift into a fresh new start in her thirties. In this episode, Jelena vulnerably shares her story for the first time, of how her life once was and the big changes that ensued. We talk about how to navigate change, even when you didn’t choose it, how to deal with the aftermath of a break-up, being on autopilot and shifting into consciousness, dealing with burnout, letting go of the ‘shoulds’ and building a brand new aligned path. From leaving her successful corporate career in finance to building her own consultancy practice and business, to moving countries and traveling - Jelena’s thirties so far have been an incredible journey of self-development. Her story is powerful, inspiring and an important reminder of the resilience we have when things don’t go the way we expected. When I first heard her story, I knew one day I would share it with my audience. It’s been almost two years in the making- I hope you enjoy it!
