Turning 30 is something that a lot of us dread. It’s as if the age that we thought was so “old” when we were young has finally crept up on us and there’s nothing that you can do about it. A lot of us are scared to turn 30 because we loved our 20s so much. In our 20s we had the freedom to figure it out but once you turn 30, you feel like you should be who you’re gonna be for the rest of your life and that couldn’t be further from the truth.
I couldn’t be more stoked to bring you my conversation with the incomparable, Melissa Vega-Magbitang.
Melissa is a brand and social media strategist who works with purpose-forward organizations, blending storytelling with brand clarity and confidence. After a decade of combined agency and in-house experience, (and a layoff) she pivoted to solopreneurship and opened up her own consulting services.
Other titles she's proud of include co-founder and co-host of Piloting, a podcast for those who refuse to live on autopilot, dog mom, godmother, CEO of the Magbitang Gang (aka wife), and connector.
If you’re in your 30s or said goodbye to your 30s a long time ago, I hope you are encouraged after listening to this episode. And if you’re nervous about turning 30 I hope this gives you some hope that they’re not that bad.

- Shedding previous versions of ourselves
- Feeling stuck
- Overcoming self-doubt
- Building confidence in your 30s
- The fragility and growth of confidence

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
