EPISODES
Millennials VS Milestones – is 30 what you think it is?
Your 30s aren’t a deadline — they’re a decade.
In episode 2 of Home Truths, Nav and Alex get into the pressure of hitting “milestones” by a certain age. Marriage, mortgage, kids, career and why so much of it is noise. Nav reflects on the back end of her 30s, the crossroads between corporate and creative, and the regret she didn’t see coming. Alex talks about why she’s still at home despite having the deposit, the maths nobody shows you on social media, and turning 30 without dread.
They also cover:
Why “failure” feels different when you grow up in an immigrant family
The generational gap on house buying (and why your parents’ advice doesn’t translate)
Cultural expectations vs. the new normal
Becoming more assertive in your late 30s
Why social media validation is a trap
The one piece of advice they’d give their 20s selves
Plus a round of Fad or Fab — self-care Sundays, capsule wardrobes, plant parenting, health tracker obsession, nostalgia consumption and more — and a Home Truth reveal involving a webbed toe and a possible cover-up.
We’re Back! With lamb, cinnamon & Alex’s Big Lie
The girls are back for Series 2! Nav and Alex reunite at Nav’s house, joined by Tilly the dog, for a proper catch-up on everything that’s happened since we last saw them.
Expect chaotic New Year superstitions (involving cinnamon and pennies taped to a door), strong opinions on Christmas Day meats, the great Boxing Day debate, why Christmas markets are a £14 bratwurst scam, and the genuinely shocking price of mini eggs in 2026. Plus family arguments, Valentine’s vs Galentine’s, and Nav’s full retelling of the 21st birthday she famously didn’t make it to.
And somewhere along the way, Alex tries to tell a lie. Did she get away with it? You’ll have to listen to find out.
Coming up next week: Alex finally turns 30 (and Nav, nearly turns 40).
