  • Making Room for Love When Your Life Is Already Full with Celebrity Makeup Artist Ashlee Glazer
    Feb 18 2026

    In this episode of Thirty, Flirty, and Panicking, Kelsey Murphy sits down with celebrity makeup artist Ashlee Glazer for a deeply honest conversation about ambition, love, identity, and trusting your own timeline.

    Ashlee spent over a decade building a wildly successful career in the beauty industry — from MAC counters to celebrity clients and national television. But while her professional life was thriving, she quietly wrestled with the question so many women know well: Can you have it all… and when does love fit in?

    In this episode, Ashlee opens up about dating burnout, the pressure of timelines, and the unexpected choices that reshaped her life — including reconnecting with her seventh-grade boyfriend during the pandemic, moving across the country, stepping away from her career, and navigating the identity shift that comes with motherhood.

    Together, Kelsey and Ashlee explore:

    • What it really looks like to make room for love

    • How to be intentional when dating

    • Why feeling safe matters more than chemistry

    • Letting go of who you think you should be to allow for what's right for you

    • Navigating change, and the grief that can come with leaving an old version of yourself behind

    • Trusting your own timeline and having faith that it's all going to work out

    This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt “behind,” questioned their timeline, or wondered if love, family, and fulfillment will ever fall into place.

    Spoiler Alert: They do... just not always how you expect.

  • Fertility, Explained with Dr. Lucky Sekhon: What to Know, What to Expect, and What Actually Matters
    Jan 14 2026

    In this deeply reassuring and informative episode of Thirty, Flirty, and Panicking, host Kelsey Murphy sits down with Dr. Lucky Sekhon, double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, fertility expert, and author of The Lucky Egg, for an honest, grounding conversation about fertility, timelines, and the mental load so many women carry in silence.

    Together, they unpack what most of us were never taught about reproductive health — from what actually matters in your 20s, 30s, and 40s, to when (and why) it’s helpful to seek support, and how to approach fertility decisions with clarity rather than fear.

    Dr. Lucky shares both clinical expertise and personal insight from her own IVF journey, offering perspective on common misconceptions, the realities of the biological clock, and why fertility outcomes are never a reflection of worth. Throughout the conversation, one message remains clear: you are not behind, your body is not broken, and knowledge is power — not pressure.

    This episode is for anyone who has ever felt anxious about “doing life on the right timeline,” overwhelmed by fertility noise online, or unsure what steps — if any — they should be taking right now.

    • What women should actually know about fertility in their 20s, 30s, and 40s

    • When to seek help from a medical professional

    • Why egg count and egg quality are often misunderstood

    • How IVF, egg freezing, and embryo freezing really work

    • The emotional and mental health side of fertility journeys

    • Why fertility challenges are not a personal failure

    • How partners (including men) factor into reproductive health

    • What to focus on now if pregnancy is a future goal

    Whether motherhood is something you want now, later, or simply hope to understand better, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a much-needed exhale.

  • Age Like a Girl: How Menopause Sparks a Level Up — Not a Loss (with Dr. Mindy Pelz)
    Dec 18 2025

    In this episode of Thirty, Flirty, and Panicking, Kelsey Murphy sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz — bestselling author of Age Like a Girl, and women’s health expert — for an informative, perspective-shifting conversation about aging, hormones, and the female brain.


    Dr. Pelz has spent decades studying functional medicine, women’s health, and hormonal transitions, and in this episode, she breaks down what’s actually happening in women’s bodies and brains as they move through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond — and why so many of the changes women experience are misunderstood.


    Rather than viewing aging as decline, Dr. Mindy reframes this chapter as a biologically intelligent redesign. She explains how shifts in hormones and brain chemistry are not random or punitive, but purposeful… designed to reveal a more authentic version of who we are and to help us release what no longer serves us. As she shares in Age Like a Girl, these changes are happening for us, not to us, allowing women to step into greater clarity, confidence, and power as life evolves.


    In this conversation, Dr. Pelz breaks down:

    • ​How women’s brains change at different stages of life — and why those shifts influence how we think, feel, and show up
    • ​What happens to hormones during perimenopause and menopause, and how those changes affect mood, memory, and motivation
    • ​The lifestyle changes that can help support women through hormonal transitions
    • ​How women of all ages can better understand, support, and advocate for themselves — and one another — through change
    • ​How to support someone you love through life’s shifts


    This episode isn’t about fear or quick fixes. It’s about understanding what’s happening beneath the surface — and giving women language, context, and compassion for experiences they’re often told to quietly endure.


    Whether you’re feeling foggy, overwhelmed, burned out, or simply sensing that something is shifting, this conversation helps explain why — and offers a powerful reframe of what’s possible on the other side. No matter what season you’re in, this episode invites you to see aging not as something to resist, but as an opportunity to live with more intention, authenticity, and ease.
