The Clock
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.
