663. Why Does Finding Purpose Feel Painful? With Sara Kuburic, Millennial Therapist Jan 23, 2024

You might know Sara Kuburic as the Millennial Therapist on Instagram, where she shares insanely relatable advice about navigating the human experience with her 1.6 million followers. Sara’s new book, It’s On Me, encourages us to get to know ourselves fully and take responsibility for our lives.

In this episode, Sara opens up to Krista about her struggles with panic attacks and a dissociation from her body – a deep state of suffering that eventually led her to a life of authenticity. When we ignore the signs our body sends us, we ignore the parts of ourselves that are longing to be seen, nurtured, and healed.

Sara talks us through her journey of accepting her highly sensitive nature and beginning to connect the dots between what she was feeling in her body and the parts of her life that required change. She empowers us to tune out the noise of everyday life, tune into our own beings, and ask ourselves, ‘who am I really?’ to find true peace and freedom within.

We also talk about:

Why searching for purpose can be painful
Healing abusive relationships with our bodies
Acknowledging your suffering
Authenticity vs. self loss
The ups and downs of discovering yourself
Why self awareness is the ultimate self care
Why we must engage with life fully

Find out how soon you should be getting off the apps, why intense attraction on the first date is a red flag, how to listen to your intuition as you swipe, and more. As always, K+L advise us to be our most authentic selves, check in with our hearts, and of course, have fun in the process.

We hope this episode helps you in your dating era!

Happy 2024! We’re excited to kick off the new year by welcoming Chani Nicholas back on the podcast, and this time she unearths the insecurities and hardships that developed her into the powerhouse she is today.

643. The HR-ification of Relationships + "Spiritual" People Dating Nov 16, 2023

Get ready to laugh (and cry a little bit) during this insanely relatable conversation between Krista and her actor-director-musician BFF, Joey Pollari! Krista and Joey chat about the ways we may be overusing “therapy talk” – a.k.a. things only you and your therapist talk about – in our relationships. Instead of slapping labels on someone or going overboard with “honest feedback,” sometimes it’s best to lead with how we’re actually feeling.

Krista and Joey recount stories of their own shortcomings in relationships as well as how they’ve grown in their self-awareness and communication skills. At the end of the day, therapy is one of our greatest tools for evolution, but learning how to integrate what we do in therapy with our real-time interactions is the ultimate relationship game changer!

We also talk about:

Why birthdays are triggering
Giving loving feedback in relationship
The HR-ification of relationships
Boundaries vs. walls
“Spiritual” people on dating apps
Forgiveness + accepting people
The power of stating your emotions
Why labels aren’t effective tools for healing
Raising the bar in dating
The myth of being “special”
Going after your creative dreams

634. The Part of Your Body That You're Overlooking: The Pelvic Floor + It's Power Oct 17, 2023

Do kegels actually work? Is painful sex normal? How can breathing help alleviate pelvic tension and pain?

In this episode, we go there and answer all of your burning questions with Dr. Sonia Bahlani, who is an expert in the fields of gynecology and urology―sought purposefully because she was interested in helping patients with pelvic pain.

In her efforts to bring the topics of pelvic pain and women’s sexual health out from behind closed doors and find real, proven solutions for those in pain, Dr. Bahlani joins Lindsey to discuss the key to feeling good “down there,” starting with what exactly is your pelvic floor. She provides valuable insight on what might be causing your pain, what you can expect in a doctor’s office and what to do at home.

So much of women’s sexual health remains unexplored, leaving us to wonder and question if specific experiences are normal…but no more. We’re deeply grateful to welcome Dr. Bahlani to the show to unpack the many misconceptions about this important topic.

We also talk about:

What is your pelvic floor
How to connect with your pelvic floor
The relationship between your jaw + pelvic floor
Pain during sex: Why it’s happening + what to do
The importance of pleasurable sex + foreplay
Women’s healthcare in the U.S.
Everyday habits to support your pelvic floor
Understanding your urination habits
The truth about kegels
Side effects of birth control

614. How to Both Accept Yourself and Change Yourself Jul 18, 2023

Does self acceptance mean no self-improvement? When do we lean into self-development practices and when do we just accept ourselves as we are? In this solo episode, Krista shares tangible steps on how to balance self-love + self-improvement because—spoiler—the two ways of being can co-exist.

When you love yourself, there’s a vibrancy to your energy that supports you to live a productive life, i.e., you might give back to your community, spend your free time in nature or leave an impact on your family and friends.

The idea that we need to control or manage who we are, so that we don’t overeat, spend an excess amount of time on our phones or stay in our homes for days on end is interesting to think about and a topic Krista doesn’t hold back on.

We also talk about:

The spiritual ego
Mindful eating + being present
What it means to be in control
Befriending the manager part of us
How to be self-accepting
Scheduling in time for complacency
Celebrating through the process
Understanding perfectionist tendencies
Being mindful of self-loathing or hate

612. Love Yourself More, Fix Yourself Less with Danielle LaPorte Jul 11, 2023

In Oprah Winfrey’s words, Danielle LaPorte “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters,” and here at Almost 30, we couldn’t agree more.

We’re so grateful to welcome Danielle back on the show. In this episode, Krista + Danielle, talk about the true meaning of spirituality and concepts of her recently published book, How to Be Loving…when your heart is breaking open and the world is waking up.

Danielle believes that we should focus less on fixing ourselves because when we focus on living from our heart center, anything that’s not in alignment with that Light falls away. Get ready for a nuanced perspective on the life changing power of self compassion, shadow work and being more receptive to higher guidance.

We also talk about:

Unwounded parts of self
Taking breaks in life
Having spiritual seasons
Striving for success + self acceptance
The universe + selfishness
Desire + aversion
Living from your heart
Manifesting with intention
Defining the law of attraction

598. Drop Perfectionism + Be Yourself in Relationships May 04, 2023

In this solo episode, Krista talks about how relationship (whether friendship, romantic or familial) breakups and endings can provide you with an opportunity to grow and be who you really are, as well as reclaim the parts of you that have been lost and step into more magnetism and truth.

Recently, she vulnerably shared about the ending of her 10-year partnership and in this episode, she dives into conscious uncoupling. Instead of trying to be perfect or make someone else be perfect, sometimes setting each other free is the greatest act of love. In the end, if it’s best for you, it’s best for them too.

While your decisions might not make sense to others, if you hear the call, it's important to listen, process and act on your truth.

We also talk about:

Ending relationships
Stepping into truth + love
Respecting the process
How to support your friends
Making hard decisions
Letting go of people pleasing tendencies

Today, she joins Krista on the show to discuss her first book, The Origins of You. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been in therapy for decades, or if therapy just isn’t for you.

595. Imposter Syndrome, Narcissism + Adult Friendships with Mel Robbins Apr 18, 2023

Are you jealous of something or someone? What scares you? Where do you see friction in your life? As dreams grow, fears do too. Few know this as well as Mel Robbins. A New York Times Bestselling author and self-publishing phenom, Mel’s work includes The High 5 Habit, The 5 Second Rule, and The Mel Robbins Podcast. Her female-led media company produces provocative, life-changing content, with millions of books sold, billions of video views, six #1 audiobooks, and one of the most viewed TEDx talks in the world.

In this episode, Mel teaches us about unveiling desires, following dreams and shifting identities. And perhaps most importantly: calling your own bullshit.

We learn how to discover, follow and commit to what we truly want through emotions that are usually identified as negative. Mel opens up about the courage it took her to overcome imposter syndrome – in spite of being one of the most successful speakers – in order to launch her podcast and how she learned to liberate herself of labels.

To put it simply, Mel and K+L covered and uncovered a lot, learned new tools and had major perspective shifts, and their hope is the same for you!

We also talk about:

Imposter syndrome
Why your fears grow concurrently with your dreams
Learning from jealousy
How to get in touch with your true desires
Steps to approach your goals easily
The research behind procrastination
The science behind motivating yourself
Moving into a space of self-love and motivation
Learning attachment styles in relationships
The truth behind narcissism and narcissistic tendencies
How social media affects our interpersonal connections
Why adult friendships are so hard
The natural evolution of friendship

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the amount of self-help information, courses and books that are at your disposal? Time and time again, K+L have found that the simplest methods, like breathing, meditation…and tapping, are some of the best techniques to ground and open their hearts.

We also talk about:

What are meridian points
The benefits of tapping
How to move stuck energy
The problem with affirmations

588. There Are No Bad Parts of You: Accepting Yourself with IFS Mar 14, 2023

Is there just one “you”? We have been taught that we have a single identity, but when the voices inside our heads don’t match our own self perception, emotions heighten and we might even question our entire existence. Want to know a little secret? You’re not alone in feeling this way, but feel liberated in knowing that there are no “bad” parts of you.

Dr. Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems (IFS) model has been transforming psychology for decades and we are honored to have him on the show to talk about his new book “No Bad Parts.” In this episode, you’ll learn what IFS is and why it has been so effective in areas such as trauma recovery.

You’ll also hear role play with both K+L, as Dr. Schwartz walks them through uncovering their own abandoned parts. When we learn to love all of our parts, we can learn to love all people, and ultimately this can help heal ourselves and the world.

We also talk about:

What is the Internal Family System model?
The importance of honoring and communicating with our parts
Making often maligned parts into powerful allies
How IFS reveals that there are no bad parts
K+L on their abandoned parts
Psychedelics and IFS
The power of your “protector” part

586. How to Know and When to Let Go Mar 02, 2023

In this solo episode, Krista opens her heart for a deeply personal and vulnerable conversation about how to know and when to let go. In a society obsessed with adding more into our lives via to-do lists, courses, books, posts, etc., we hardly ever stop to think about what we can release.

Krista has found that when she let go of relationships, careers, friendships and parts of herself that were no longer aligned, she experienced greater expansion, growth and ultimately, love. In order to create a life you love, you have to create space—and that’s what this episode is all about.

To put it simply, you cannot open the door to the future you seek while holding onto your past…and when love no longer helps us to be the person we want to be, it’s time to let go.

We also talk about:

Why we over consume to protect ourselves
Letting go of relationships and careers
What is the Life Edit program
How to create space to receive clarity
The pain of leaving people behind
Following your heart and soul
Consciously uncoupling
The importance of choosing again and again
Recognizing pain as a portal towards growth
Creating the future you seek
Seeing forgiveness as freedom
Empowering yourself to take action

585. Toxic Positivity: How It's Holding You Back From Processing Emotions and Connecting Authentically Feb 28, 2023

Do you ever feel like you’re constantly being told to be positive? Whether its through mantras like “good vibes only” and “look on the brightside,” not to mention the endless inspirational quotes and often well intended advice (both online and off), it can feel like silencing our emotions is the only way to live a “happy life.”

Whitney Goodman is a radically honest psychotherapist, whose new book, Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real In A World Obsessed With Being Happy, shows readers how to shift the goal from being happy to being authentic in order to live fully. A millennial on a quest to make mental health information accessible and easy to understand, Whitney helps people who want to improve their relationships and emotional wellness.

In this episode, Lindsey and Whitney unpack how damaging toxic positivity can be to both ourselves and our relationships. She also provides us with tangible tools on how to work through and process difficult emotions to experience a more fulfilled and authentic life.

We also talk about:

What is toxic positivity
How to hold space for yourself and others
Developing a solid foundation in your relationships
Feeling connected to your body
Recognizing and preventing burn out
Unpacking your lifestyle and your systems
Why humans resist loneliness and change
Releasing the need to control your emotions

584. Navigating Grief, Letting Go of Identities and Living Fully with Bozoma Saint John Feb 21, 2023

The iconic business leader, Bozoma Saint John, comes on the show to discuss her latest venture—her memoir, The Urgent Life. She takes readers through the numbing days of multiple griefs and the courage which these sparked in her to live a life in accordance with her values. K+L have a meaningful, vulnerable conversation that, despites its heavy topics, still features a lot of laughter (one of the many reasons they love Bozoma).

In this episode, the girls dive deep into why Bozoma decided to live life urgently. Her life has been encompassed by many highs and lows, one of which was the death of her husband, Peter. No stranger to adversity, Bozoma recounts life’s tragedies and how she learned to build a remarkable life worth living (even in her brokenness).

Bozoma’s story is heartbreakingly beautiful, though many of its themes are not uncommon. Our hope is this conversation will inspire any listener who has loved, mourned and is finding their way forward, to live life to the fullest.

We also talk about:

Being a Black woman in corporate America
Embracing her identity unapologetically
Knowing when to make a career change
Wrestling with the ego and learning to let go of identities
Trusting the Soul to light the path forward
Dealing with the loss of her husband and daughter
Navigating and carrying two different types of grief
How grief shifted her perspective on life and self

583. How to Find, Cultivate and Keep Real Love with Jay Shetty Feb 16, 2023

We are so thrilled to welcome back to the show, Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author, award-winning storyteller, podcast host, and former monk, dedicated to helping people train their mind for peace and purpose every day. He recently released his second book, “8 Rules of Love: How to Find It, Keep It, and Let It Go.”

The truth is, nobody sits down and teaches us love—how to give and fully receive it. Oftentimes, our idea of romance is based on pop culture or movies, but love is nuanced and should be cherished and cultivated. All too often, people feel lonely (even when in a relationship) and lack the fundamental tools needed to make their partnerships last.

That’s why in this episode, Jay and Krista go deep and talk about specific, actionable steps to help you develop the skills to practice and nurture love, so that you can better love yourself, others and the world around you.

We also talk about:

Why many people feel lonely in relationship
Cultural expectations of love
How social media and pop culture have perpetuated a false sense of love
The difference between solitude and loneliness
What love is not (Hint: attraction, attention seeking, validation and control)
Defining love through three main components
How to grow with your partner (even if you’re growing at a different pace)
The varying roles in a relationship—”fixer,” “dependent,” and “supporter”

Jay’s second book, 8 Rules of Love is available for purchase at 8RulesofLove.com and wherever books are sold! To catch Jay on his first ever global tour 'Love Rules', go to JayShettyTour.com for tickets. Follow Jay on Instagram and subscribe to his podcast On Purpose.

582. The Energetics of Distraction and How to Reclaim Your Focus Feb 14, 2023

Join Lindsey for this honest and revealing solo journey into the energetics of distraction and focus. Recently back from an Instagram hiatus, she’s observed some pretty stark truths about her own behavior, and shares how she’s using those lessons to discover a truer, deeper sense of self.

But make no mistake. There is no right and wrong at play today. Your distractions are not faults to fix; they are merely reactions we may seek to further understand.

We’re not blaming the phone. We’re not blaming the gym, or social media, or even other people. We’re getting curious about why we do the things we do – replacing the noise of guilt and shame with the stillness and quiet of focus.

We also talk about:

Finding compassion for self
Looking back at her single season
Reasons we lean into distractions
How can distraction serve us
Examples of distraction
Getting curious with your own behavior
Energetics of distraction
Reclaiming your focus
Practices for getting curious

578. Transform Your Water, Transform Your Life: The How and Why of Coherent H2O Jan 31, 2023

Here on Almost 30, we like to talk about spirituality, health, and wellness – and this fascinating conversation marries all three subjects in a way that we know you'll love.

K+L chat with Mario Brainovic of Analemma, a cosmically inspired technology company that’s on a mission to infuse consciousness (back) into all of the world’s water. We’re welcoming in some new and inspiring ideas for this one, as we do a dive deep on the research, the science, and the significance of structured water.

In short, the new information presented in this conversation will change how you see and interact with water forever. Don’t worry – it all makes perfect sense as soon as we get into it.

It’s a concept Mario has been developing for fifteen years, but one that’s still brand new on the scene in terms of awareness and understanding. We’re excited for you all to hear the studies that they've done with people, and with plants, that prove how structured water affects your light body, as well as your ability to grow, thrive and be vibrant.

In addition to the technology, we talk a lot about the state of water today, access to structured water around the world, and what Mario sees as the future of water – and life as we know it.

Your brain changes when you're on birth control, that’s just the reality of it.

The conversation around birth control and contraception, and even fertility, is one we've been having for a while on the podcast. It’s an incredibly complex subject and one we’re excited to delve further into with Dr. Sarah E. Hill.

We also talk about:

Your brain on birth control

576. You’re Not Broken (Even if The Self Help World Makes You Think So) Jan 19, 2023

If you're listening to this podcast, you probably are already doing a lot of work, a lot of personal growth work, a lot of therapy, a lot of courses, a lot of programs. You're probably following all the right quote accounts and all the right inspirational creators – all of it, all of it, all of it.

But today, we ask: Why?

This special solo episode with Krista is all about bringing our intentions into question. Especially in 2023, our intention behind all of these personal growth and self-development practices is critically important. Our intention is truly everything – it even changes our molecules! And without it, we end up on a negative feedback loop, right where we started.

We also talk about:

Intention behind self-development work
Showing gratitude for nourishment
Enjoying food vs. negative thoughts
Internal Family Systems
Energetics of intention
Accepting who we are
Owning the path of an empath

570. Twerking As a Tool for Liberation, Social Media and The Matrix with Sahara Rose Dec 20, 2022

The holiday time is beautiful, and powerful, and magical – and so fucking stressful and confronting. It’s important that we take some time to track spiritual progress with some introspective time alone or with a friend to push and challenge the conversation.

In this one, Krista is joined by Sahara Rose to reflect on their spiritual growth, dream about what’s to come, diagnose the great ills of the world, and align their energies to addressing them for the collective – and for themselves.

They go into the Matrix for a preview of the future, parse social media’s place in the development of our brains (and species), and make a declarative stand on twerking as a beautiful and ancestral form of female empowerment and sexual power!

K+L on holiday family dynamics

569. Finding Everything in Nothing: Darkness Retreat Recap Dec 15, 2022

As you know by now, Krista is someone who loves to push the limits of what’s possible, to expand her own lived experience and learn new ways of seeing or thinking about things. She travels this path (mostly) unafraid and open-minded.

But the prospect of a darkness retreat, she admits, was a scary one.

In this special solo episode, Krista recaps her three-day, four-night darkness retreat at Sky Cave Retreats in Oregon and recounts the deep spiritual and emotional lessons she’s taken away from it.

There was rage, sadness, and grief; great joy and hours of bodywork; daily peanut butter and jelly sandwiches – and of course, complete and utter darkness. You don’t want to miss this.

We also talk about:

What is a darkness retreat?
Setting her intentions
Patience with bodywork (5+ hrs/day)
Waves of rage, grief, and sadness
Logistics, food, and environment
Sleeping and how to determine time

564. This Is Your Brain on Food: Connecting Mental Health & Nutrition with Dr. Uma Naidoo Nov 29, 2022

Our guest today is the brilliant Uma Naidoo, MD, a Harvard board-certified psychiatrist, professional chef, author, and nutrition specialist. Dr. Uma's book is called This is Your Brain on Food. It's a full guide to the surprising foods that fight things like depression, PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, and more.

We go super cutting edge in this one as we talk about the undeniable relationship between our mental health and diet/nutrition.

We start with her own health journey and integrated practice before getting honest with a few familiar faces in our cupboards at home – coffee, alcohol, sugar, seed oils, etc. – myth busting and truth telling on what’s good, and what isn’t, for our mental wellbeing.

We all know the difference between feeling good after eating good, and feeling bad after eating poorly. Listen in to get the science on why that happens, and how we can design our diets (not restrict them) to unlock our best selves.

We also talk about:

Relatively new field of nutritional psychiatry
A lesson from a patient
Uma’s cancer diagnosis and treatment
Precision-based integrated nutrition
Connection between mental health and food
Toxicity of a leaky gut (and fixing it)
The brain chemistry of stress and sugar
Fast food and marketing messages
The serotonin hypothesis
Pros and cons of coffee
Nutrition in schools, then and now
Gaps in the current medical system
Eat the rainbow

563. What Are You Using To Build Boundaries – Love or Fear? Nov 22, 2022

Are you building healthy boundaries, or putting up restricting walls? With the former taking center stage amongst the collective, it’s an important question to ask.

This episode was inspired by the journey Krista’s been on to have deep and real intimacy in her relationships – a growing desire to untangle defensive mechanisms that create negative static between people and move toward a more heart-centered exchange with the people in and around her life.

The truth is that some forms of boundary building have evolved into a method for gaslighting ourselves, a means to create a cozy victimhood to hide away in, an excuse for closing ourselves off from things, situations, or people that may expand us.

We also talk about:

A different angle of boundary building
What boundaries are meant to be
Honesty and open heartedness
Building walls makes a victim
How to receive a boundary
The need for control
Wall building instance from Krista’s life
Good friction between two people
Bad examples from The Hills
Leaning into love and connectedness

Earlier this week on the podcast, K+L spoke with Lee Harris, renowned channel and author of Conversations with The Z's. With luck, and maybe some divine intervention, Lee received a second download – a message from The Z’s urging him to channel, live, here on the show.

This episode, part two of our conversation, presents his channeling of The Z’s in full – a very special honor and one we’re so thrilled to share with you today.

Expecting and prompting them for a general message to the collective, K+L are surprised with an intimate and intuitive perspective on their own relationship (and relationships) past, present, and future. As specific as some of their observations are, The Z’s share paradigm-breaking lessons which ring true for all of us.

We also talk about:

The Z’s address K+L
Poking and stoking the fire
Grounding the energy
Extraordinary sisterhood
A message to the collective
Symbology of the number 30

In today’s solo episode, Krista drops in for part two of her deep dive on empathy, codependency, and enmeshment to break down their similarities and importance differences. Who are you, really? And why is it so hard for highly sensitive people to untangle the answer from everything around them?

542. Unlocking True Enlightenment (There Are Levels to This Shit) with Peter Crone Aug 25, 2022

Peter Crone is a modern-day thought leader who’s unafraid to speak, and live, his truth. He joins Krista today for a deeply expansive and thought provoking episode where they untangle the complexities of the masculine/feminine dynamic, both in an ideal (Nirvana-state, as he describes it) and in the strained environment of our current reality.

He’s the kind of person who elicits a feeling of hope for all of us, that what pains us or challenges us may, not only be washed away in an instant, but be repurposed as fuel for further evolution, for allowing us to unlock the next plane of consciousness and enlightenment.

It all sounds so easy, and at times, so hard. But he reminds us of the deep beauty contained in the process itself.

The elevation of this conversation sheds light on many perspectives that we overlook in our day-to-day lives, perspectives that determine our being and who we will, or can, become. Settle in for a deep one, family.

We also talk about:

Presence is beauty
How words affect us reveals how we really feel
Identifying a victim mindset
Frequency precedes form
Criticism vs. encouragement
The mechanism of lying
The potential in masculinity
Being willing to think, and live, differently

541. Reclaiming Our Feminine Super Powers and Learning to Receive Unconditional Love with Vylana Marcus Aug 23, 2022

Vylana Marcus is on a mission to share the divine process of healing and evolution, of continual death and rebirth, that she’s experienced since 2020. She drops in for this juicy (and honest) conversation on the true meaning of shadow work, healing the complicated sister wound, her high-vibe soul partnership with Aubrey, and so much more.

Channeled through Vylana’s clarity and courage, we’re invited into taboo subjects like anger, even rage – sex and intimacy, such as the God energy of the orgasm. Oh yeah, we’re going there.

She describes how all of these lessons have culminated in a recently recorded album (and visual production) that's been her life’s work, Goddess Rising. She beams as the artworks being a beacon of healing and community for – well, people like you, in like-minded, spiritually empowered, and curious communities like this.

We also talk about:

Who was Vylana before this Dharmic path?
Emerging from a death portal
Seeing + doing the shadow work
Healing the sister wound
Getting addicted to healing
Learning from anger
Vylana’a album: Goddess Rising
Reclaiming your sexuality
Love and honor alongside Aubrey

540. How to Thrive as an Empath: Understand The Shadow Side and Your Gifts Aug 16, 2022

Empaths of the world – you may have seen, or felt, this one coming.

Krista’s been open and expressive about her ongoing journey of exploring the oceanic depths of her ability to sense, to feel, and to absorb the emotions and energies around her, so it’s only right that we sit down as a community to unpack what she’s learned.

The truth is that empathy means deeply caring for everyone and everything, but the answer in maintaining, even thriving, amidst all of that input is to focus on self. Self-care and energetic cleansing are great for the empathic souls within all of us.

We also talk about:

Energy matching
Tuning into vibrational frequency
Losing yourself to outside experiences
How we interact with overstimulating environments
Checking in with your own needs
What the scroll is actually doing for our mind
Krista’s physical heart boundary practice
Observed traits of an empath

537. Friendship Breakups: How to Deal + How to Heal Aug 04, 2022

It’s a touchy topic that’s been in the zeitgeist for the last couple of years – either spurred by our general societal upheaval and the change it’s bringing about within people, something less, or something even more – friend break ups are sometimes a part of life. And they can be even more painful than breaking things off in a romantic relationship. There’s often more time invested and thus, more depth. More experience and trust.

K+L drop in for today’s solo episode to discuss this very thing. When do you know it’s time to break up with a friend? What are the signs, both within yourself and between the two of you, that might be clues that something is off? And, most importantly, how do you talk about it with them? Or, do you at all?

We can all agree at this point in our evolution that toxicity and rudeness are not the answers. So, how do we approach this change with grace? With compassion and understanding? Tune in to get real life advice from these two open hearts.

We also talk about:

How do you know when it's time to break up with a friend?
Listening to your body’s clues
Having a conversation vs. letting it dissolve
What might cause a friendship breakup?
Feeling your emotions
Taking accountability
Recognizing subconscious patterns
Taking your time with the situation

533. Exploring the Feminine Experience and its Relationship to Capitalism, Feminism, and Burnout Jul 21, 2022

We are completely burning ourselves out – full stop.

In this stream-of-consciousness solo episode, Krista delves into her perceptions of our current reality, specifically, that related to the deepening bond between capitalism and modern feminism.

What does it mean to be a feminist in 2022? Or, more importantly, what are we being told that it means? How has a grinding life of hustling and climbing the corporate ladder become so much more heavily favored over a loving, soft, nurturing life at home raising a family? There’s got to be room for all shades of the feminine palette.

Krista opens the door to a wider experience, for a more inclusive ideology that, instead of shaming or shutting people out, makes space for respect, freedom, and happiness for all of the many manifestations of our time here on earth.

We also talk about:

The connections between modern feminism + capitalism
Harmful social norms + where they came from
Reclaiming words that were taken from us
Giving up the negative baggage
Living in true freedom + choice
Embracing all parts of us as divine

531. Demystifying the Conscious Relationship Jul 14, 2022

Conscious relationship... It's one of the most common buzzwords that's in the relational space right now.

In this episode, Lindsey walks us through what she thought a relationship should be before finding Sean, what she assumed a conscious relationship would be, and the truth of what living in this aligned mutual practice actually looks and feels like.

She’s an all-around superstar and role model to us, a mother, marketing expert, coach, and a newly published author – something she swore she’d never be.

527. The Business of Birth Control with Ricki Lake & Abby Epstein Jun 23, 2022

Ricki Lake and her longtime business partner and filmmaker, Abby Epstein, join the show today to talk about their groundbreaking new documentary film, The Business of Birth Control – a truth finding journey where they tell the impactful stories of women who’ve had a whole range of experiences on, and coming off of, hormonal contraceptives.

As we’ve seen and heard in past episodes on this subject, this community has a very direct connection to the modern birth control story. Until very recently, our knowledge had been strictly experiential. Now, with documentaries like this and other dedicated research, we’re learning more about what these drugs do in our bodies, and to our minds. It’s critically important work, and so important for all women, especially young girls, to know and understand.

From June 22nd to 26th, The Business of Birth Control will be available to watch for FREE in the USA and Canada! You can grab your ticket here. And for those who miss the free streaming event, you can use the code "Almost30" for 50% off by clicking here.

We encourage you to share this one with a friend or family member to, as Ricki mentions, pay it forward and empower the next generation with information they can act upon for their best interests. Enjoy.

We also talk about:

526. Can You Be Addicted to Self Help? Dr. Thema Bryant Explains! Jun 21, 2022

Drop in and open your heart for this warm hug of an episode as the amazing author and psychologist, Dr. Thema Bryant, walks us through the most relatable and actionable self-help practices you’ll ever come across. K + L get personal with their own experiences and lessons from therapy during this truthful, energetic, and enlightening episode.

Dr. Thema helps us unpack the impact of social media on our sense of self, explaining the nuance to how and why narcissism seems (it actually isn’t!) so apparent in the space. We also learn how the most outward and seemingly self-promotional actions can actually be manifestations of shame, fear, and guilt – and how to understand that dynamic in yourself and in others.

How to live more authentically, foster more meaningful relationships, avoid the pitfalls of self-erasure, and process the endless wave of Insta therapy – you don’t want to miss it.

We also talk about:

Unpacking nuggets of information for what they mean to you
K + L share therapy experiences
Self-erasure and how we trick ourselves into it
Reintroducing yourself – as yourself
Learning love languages
Showing love during times of conflict
Is everyone a narcissist?
The intersection between therapy and spirituality
Inspiration for her new book

524. The Gift of Being in a Body + How To Tune In Jun 14, 2022

It is what it is, right? But, that’s not a mindset that comes easily – or quickly.

For many of us, our teens and twenties are filled with changing – wanting to change, feeling pressures to change. After thirty, and after doing the work, a shift starts to happen. We look in the mirror and wink at ourselves instead of wishing for something to be different.

Lindsey sits down for this deeply personal solo episode to walk listeners through her own body attunement journey, from watching herself in home movies as a wiggling four year-old, to learned familial beliefs on body, her (sometimes toxic) relationship with fitness, and unpacking early sexual encounters.

Everything is on the table, because everything in life is connected to our physical self.

Tune in and take note to start feeling better in your body, more harmonized in the feminine, restorative, juicy goodness that is this physical vehicle, on this planet. It’s a beautiful thing, and when we can truly celebrate it, it shines through in the rest of our lives.

We also talk about:

Everything is everything
What is body attunement to me?
Reprogramming negative familial beliefs
Being aware of how social media makes us feel
Unpacking impactful sexual experiences
How we process outside information
Identifying areas where we can be more attuned with our body
Considering our cycles as the seasons
Infusing your food with intention

523. Free Yourself With 4 Questions with Byron Katie Jun 07, 2022

Byron Katie is known around the world as an author and a thought leader among thought leaders, a voice so clear and yet so intellectually complex that you might find yourself replaying this episode once or twice to grasp the beautiful concept of radical inquiry that she presents in her work.

Calling her process “The Work,” she invites readers (and listeners!) to ask four questions of themselves in times of angst, challenge, or overthinking: Is it true? Can you absolutely know it's true? How do you react when you believe that thought? Who would you be without the thought?

It seems simple enough. But, sit with even the first question, truly – and you'll realize we’re headed down a path of the divine, but unknown.

Weaving metaphors and vivid imagery like an artist, Byron Katie takes K+L on a spiritual journey, starting with a morning walk, where the only thing bigger than the ideas are the questions. You’re invited to open your mind and let it all (nothing) wash over you.

We also talk about:

The importance and beauty of a morning walk
Her spiritual awakening journey
The 4 questions from Loving What Is
How to become an observer of our thoughts
How everyone in the world is our teacher
Taking radical responsibility
How to work on our stories related to body image, relationships, and fear
How to deal with pain and suffering in the world aka how to approach reality

522. Use This Method for a Better Relationship with Your Body Jun 02, 2022

Do you ever feel like there are a few different versions of yourself that come out during certain situations? In some recent therapy work, Krista has learned that… well, maybe there are.

In this episode, she takes Almost 30 nation into her personal therapy journey, unpacking her self-leadership work using the Internal Family System (IFS) method to identify, observe, respect, and understand the distinct parts of her being that protect and project less-than-ideal behavior, especially as it relates to her body acceptance.

We meet the Manager, the Firefighter, and the Exile. But, no parts of us are bad. This is an important caveat to remember. Meeting and understanding these different forces within us is what helps us observe our lives and environments for ways we may encourage, or discourage, their appearances in place of Self, our highest and most pure form.

This one goes deep, and invites us to look within ourselves for a different perspective, or two, on who we are, and why. Enjoy.

We also talk about:

Check ins on projects and processing long creative gestation periods
Krista shares her body acceptance journey
Introducing Internal Family Systems (IFS) method
The manager, keeping you busy, productive, and distracted
The firefighter, doing whatever it takes to bring you to equilibrium
Exiles, forgotten and missing parts of your past and present
Understanding and acknowledging their roles
Feeling their love and working in unison with Self

521. Rich Roll Makes His Process Public: Purpose, Sobriety and Partnership May 31, 2022

Rich Roll is an inspiration, both in the general sense and in a very specific way. Believe it or not, his podcast played a big part in K+L launching Almost 30.

After years of struggling with alcohol and drug addiction, Rich turned his life around to become an award-winning ultra endurance athlete, vegan advocate, best-selling author, and host of the incredible Rich Roll Podcast. You may have heard his story before, but this conversation pushes him to go a little deeper on some less-explored details.

Rich goes into his personal journey including his marriage with Julie and their financial collapse, alcoholism as it relates to the sober-curious movement, finding purpose and what that means, and picking apart the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous as it relates to a spiritual experience.

It’s a super dynamic conversation with someone who’s accomplished so much in life. You won’t want to miss it.

We also talk about:

Starting the Rich Roll podcast
Advice for finding your purpose
Taking next steps when you’re in a dark place

520. Sexuality: Coming Home to Your Body and Womb May 26, 2022

Focusing on our own personal growth and expansion can so often shift the focus onto external goals, routines, and mindsets—but we can’t forget about the body. A big part of that is our sexuality, whether it’s relating to our own body or our partners. Sex is a powerful energetic force, so how can we get to a place where we are approaching it from a spiritual, elevated place?

Tiffany Janay is a sought after motivational speaker, sacred sexuality educator, women's empowerment guide, and the owner of YoniEggs.com. She's made a career of connecting on a personal level with people, assisting them in getting past their fears, hurt, and anxiety as it pertains to their sexuality through her work as a womb wellness advocate and sacred sexuality guide.

We dive into the powerful spiritual connection to the womb, how it relates to the ability to create, and practices to honor the womb more deeply. We also tap into the essence of sacred sexuality, what it means, and how you can practice it in your own life. You owe it to yourself to love your whole self.

We also talk about:

Leading your way through life by your feelings and curiosity
Having a prayer for your life
Being thankful for the moments life kicks you down
Coming into yourself and your sexuality
Common blocks to making progress
Men's relationships to their bodies
The language we use to describe our body parts

519. Animal Communication: How to Connect with Your Pets May 24, 2022

Animals are such an important part of our emotional, mental, and physical health. They seem to understand our emotions – sometimes even more than we do. And if they can sense our emotions, it shouldn’t surprise us to find out that we can communicate with them on an even deeper level.

Miranda Alcott is an animal and human communications counselor and she’s dedicated her life to facilitating greater understanding between animals and those that care for them. As children, we communicate intuitively with animals. So as adults working on healing our inner child, it’s important that we learn to get back in touch with that aspect of ourselves.

Miranda dives into topics such as supporting our animals as their lives change alongside our own, how to listen harmoniously, and the lessons we can learn from our animals.

We also talk about:

Miranda’s story and how she came to recognize her gifts
The HarmoniousListening™ approach and what it entails
Personalities of animals and how they differ
Learning to interpret what our animals teach us
Ongoing growth in your relationship with your animal
Listening to our animals effectively and responding appropriately
Common themes with animals and their messages during the pandemic
Higher-self communication vs. the animal in its 3D body
Supporting your animals when you go on vacation
Animal synchronicities and stories

518. Taking Care Of Yourself While You Help Others With Karena Dawn May 17, 2022

Karena Dawn has been on the podcast before talking about fitness and entrepreneurship as the co-founder of Tone It Up. Today, she joins us to talk about her new book, The Big Silence, a memoir about mental illness and healing.

The title comes from the idea that there is still such a stigma surrounding mental health and discussing it openly. In it, she goes deep into parts of her life that are so evocative and powerful, from dealing with drugs, being arrested, and managing a strained relationship with her schizophrenic mother.

We talk about her story, how to support someone with mental health issues while still taking care of yourself, and how she’s integrated her husband into the mental health discussion. It’s so important for us to break this silence together, have meaningful conversations around mental health, and shut down the stigma once and for all.

We also talk about:

Karena’s background of dealing with mental illness in her family
Recognizing the complexity of everyone’s lived experiences
Finding clarity at the end
Taking care of yourself while you help others
Discovering where to set boundaries
Turning your childhood struggles into something beautiful
Teaching people how to work with others who have mental health conditions
The goal of The Big Silence

517. Healing Doesn't Always Have To Be Hard May 12, 2022

Self-reflection isn’t easy.

When it comes to doing the hard work, sometimes we’re drawn to looking for easy answers outside of ourselves, pushing us further from the answers that we already hold within.

Jenna Reiss is a breathwork facilitator in Los Angeles, a doula, and also works with clients one-on-one. She has her own beautiful practice and teaches online, supporting people in their spiritual evolution through breathwork.

In this conversation, she talks about the idea of coming home to yourself, what that means, and why, in our rush to heal, we so often get pushed further outside of ourselves.

She also dives into the personal healing journey, and how having compassion for everyone’s individual process starts with self-compassion. Jenna has an open heart and makes you feel good about being yourself. So get ready to laugh, go deep, and come home.

We also talk about:

Practicing the art of listening
Taking responsibility for your own healing
Learning to trust yourself
How intuition is not a binary
Getting stuck in a loop
Setting up a support system for yourself
Being with your feelings

516. When You’ve Lost Your Center May 10, 2022

You know what it feels like to hold the pose? Those moments where you feel fully present, embodied, and like you can just weather the storm and come out feeling strong? When you’re able to hold your own without reacting to it in the moment, you find so much more clarity and truth on the other side of things. We could all use a little more of that.

In this solo episode with Lindsey, she’s going to share some tactical ways you can hold your pose, whether in a hard conversation, a physical reaction to an experience, or something that takes a long time to process and work through. It’s all about being intentional instead of reactive, and asking yourself what you really want to get out of a situation and responding accordingly.

If you want to increase your confidence, increase your self-trust, and abandon yourself less, be your highest self in every moment. This one’s for you.

We also talk about:

What it means to be in your center
Identifying what it feels like to be in or off your center
Action vs activity
How Lindsey comes back to center
Cultivating a relationship with your center
Breathwork as a way of coming back to the center
Finding a centering tone
Snapping back to your center
Finding tools to help you build healthy habits
Auditing your lifestyle

513. Defining Our Own Wellness Narrative with Dr. Zach Bush Apr 21, 2022

Look, we KNOW y’all love Dr. Zach Bush. How? Because the last time he was on the show was one of our highest downloaded and most widely discussed episodes of all time. The numbers don’t lie, folks.

In the off chance you aren’t familiar, though, here’s the short of it: he’s a triple-board certified doctor, he owns the company Ion, and he runs his own non-profit. In other words, the man’s a mother-loving fountain of wisdom.

His conversation with K+L is hard to quantify, but he touches on a bit of everything, from our physical, mental, and spiritual health, the troubling direction our society is heading in, and what he views to be the antidote to it all.

We also talk about:

Changing the public perception around health
Giving up our sovereignty for the sake of convenience
The biodiversity of feelings
Creativity as the path towards self-expression
Redefining the family unit
What comes after consumerism
Embracing the love and support of Mother Nature

512. Lilly Singh: Come Home to Yourself Apr 19, 2022

Lilly Singh is at the top of her game – and for good reason. She’s the definition of multifaceted, and she embodies that energy in her career and everything she does. Entertainer, actress, producer, writer, creator, she’s a multi-hyphenated megastar.

Hot off the heels of her historic late-night talk show, we dive into all that she’s accomplished, how having a seat at the table doesn’t guarantee you have a voice, and managing to take care of yourself while trying to accomplish it all.

Lilly still believes hustle is an important ingredient to success, but she doesn’t think you have to sacrifice your physical and mental health for years to get there. In her new book, Be A Triangle, Lilly outlines the discovery process she went through to create a strong, unshakable foundation within herself – one she could come home to no matter what season her life was in.

We also talk about:

Why Lilly doesn’t recommend anyone give a TED Talk
The changing cultural landscape around traditional TV
Understanding your parents’ experience and what’s relevant (or not) to your life
Lilly’s coming out story
Being discerning with your creativity
What it means to become a triangle

511. Here's to Your Rising with Sheleana Aiyana Apr 12, 2022

Sheleana Aiyana is the real deal when it comes to processing family trauma. After you hear the story of what she went through as a child – and how she overcame it – you'll be a believer as well.

Sheleana knows that, if more of us could understand the impact of inherited family trauma and how to move through it, the world would be a brighter place. She’s the founder of Rising Woman, a community of more than three million readers. Sheleana is very truthful, very heart-centered, and she’s doing work that helps so many people.

Her new book, “Becoming the One,” debunks the myth that we need someone from outside ourselves, “the one,” to come into our life and save us. You have everything within you to become the one in your own life. And if you doubt it now, Sheleana can be very convincing.

We also talk about:

Coming into your voice
Allowing yourself to be seen
How different internal wounds are healed
Bringing conscious work into your relationship
The power struggle phase of relationships
The myth of The One
Coming back to the body
The journey of inner teen work

510. Building a Support System for Growth with Manoj Dias Apr 07, 2022

How many of us truly understand what it means to be mindful?

Manoj Dias was raised under Buddhist mindfulness traditions. Today, he’s also deeply embedded in the modern world. For some time, he was chasing a different life working in marketing and finance, but that experience – and the toll it took on his health – only strengthened his resolve as he found his way back to his roots.

Having learned so much about the art of being present, he co-founded Open, a modern mindfulness studio merging technology, culture, and cinematography, with proven practices to grow community and nurture presence. He dives deep into the mindfulness of embracing pain, what it means to be mindful in your relationships, and how it feels to be truly embodied.

We also talk about:

The brokenheartedness of disembodiment
Being mindful in your friendships
Creating a relationship with pain
Changing your narrative around love
Leaving your old life behind
Making the decision to cut people out of your life
Transformative Buddhist philosophies
Cultivating a healthy relationship with technology
Why Manoj started Open

506. Your Inner Teenager Healing Guide Mar 22, 2022

You may remember Bethany Webster from our most recent Camp Almost 30 where she, we have to say, brought the freaking house down. She also joined us in March of 2021, where she introduced the community to the life-changing idea of the “Mother Wound,” and about healing and dealing with the multi-generational trauma that gets passed on to us.

Now, she’s helping us to identify another unheard part of ourselves, our inner teenager. By now, the idea of the inner child is totally understood, but our inner teenager still hangs out in there. Like most teenagers, yours is probably misunderstood or completely ignored.

That part of you has so much to give and Bethany Webster helps us get on the level to understand those lessons. Tune in.

We also talk about:

The undermining and exploitation of teenagers in society
The function of shame
Teenagers’ pressure to grow up fast
Healing the inner teen vs. the inner child
How the inner teen gets activated
Defining and finding sovereignty
Ending friendships that are no longer aligned
Finding peace with your inner teen

494. I Left Instagram for 30 Days + This is What Happened Feb 08, 2022

When Lindsey first received the download to take a break from Instagram, she pushed the thought aside and went back to scrolling. After some intentional reflection – and a good bit of planning – she decided to listen to the call, logging off of all social media for thirty days.

In this episode, Lindsey opens up about what came through during this period of intentional nothingness. From self-judgment to an unleashed sense of creativity and purpose, she explores how she found meaning and came home to self in the absence of screen.

We also talk about:

Receiving the download to take a break off social media
Setting energetic intentions and realigning priorities
Imbuing life with intention
Finding purpose in self

490. Get Lost to Find Yourself with Kimberly Snyder Jan 25, 2022

Nutrition is so much more than chugging green juice smoothies and smashing out sessions on a Peloton. Our relationship to food is an energetic extension of self. It reflects our mental and environmental nourishment on a deep level.

When renowned celebrity nutritionist and bestselling author, Kimberly Snyder, made the conscious decision to create something that veered from the existing food narrative, she found her authentic essence. Up close, it wasn’t the number on the scale, the figure in her bank account, or even a partner. It was the groundedness of her daily mindfulness practice, the activation of love as a frequency, and the conscious attention and devotion spent with life’s teachers, such as guru Paramahansa Yogananda.

When she was 34-weeks pregnant, she received the download for her next passion project: to distill her life lessons and teachings into a guide to help others discover their limitless potential.

In this episode, we dive into her mindfulness masterpiece, “You Are More Than You Think You Are,” and explore how to cultivate practical enlightenment into every fold and fiber of your being.

We also talk about:

Finding a spiritual connection to nutrition
Why getting lost can help you find yourself
How to cultivate conscious connection
Detaching from ego and external validation
Creativity and channeling a book

488. Making Sense of God, Religion and Spirituality Jan 18, 2022

Do you believe in God?

Contemplating your relationship to spirit can feel supercharged with triggering emotions, especially if we’ve had negative or uninspiring interactions with religion in the past.

In this episode, K + L reflect on their spiritual evolution and relationship with God. From traditional rituals of childhood conditioning to the framework they feel aligned with today. They discuss how they navigated resistance around what it means to believe in God, and how the process of unlearning conventions has helped them cultivate a connection with God that feels unconditional, authentic, and life-affirming.

We also talk about:

Individual journeys with religion
Coming back to a relationship with God
Spectrums of religion
Judgements in religion and consequences

487. Sexual Pleasure + Clearing Blocks in Partnership Jan 11, 2022

Sex carries so much currency in our internal and external landscapes. For many, sexuality is cloaked in shame, fear, or heady expectations that leave us feeling short-changed and disempowered. Fortunately, the tides are shifting with the help of pioneers like Dr. Kate Balestrieri, a sex therapist helping people integrate the physical and emotional components of sex, sexuality, and relationships.

True sexual embodiment is a journey, not a destination (the same can be said for orgasms). This conversation undresses all the topics you’ve probably been thinking about but were too scared to utter out loud. Krista, Lindsey, and Dr. Kate candidly untangle the narrative surrounding porn, patriarchy, and partnerships while boldly confronting the common intimacy challenges in modern relationships today.

We also talk about:

How the nervous system affects pleasure
Navigating expectations around sex
Exploring blocks in partnership
Why couples therapy works
The spectrum of sex positivity
Patriarchy and internalized misogyny
Desire, fetish, and ethical porn
Tips for elevating your sexual practice
Processing sexual trauma

483. The Truth About Being an Influencer with Quigley Dec 28, 2021

Quigley tries on roles like beautiful outfits. She’s a singer/performer, blogger, influencer, and creative director. Yet, even with all the accomplishments, glamorous gowns, and a blue tick on Instagram, there are times when Quigley doesn’t feel like she’s enough.

Plus, we get her behind-the-scenes takes on parenthood, sexuality as a mother, and talk about her new mission to help people connect on social media.

475. Something is Wrong with Health in America with Shawn Stevenson Nov 30, 2021

We're trapped in a web of narratives. Right now, the United States is crippled by an obesity epidemic that's getting bigger, made worse by the endless wave of related "facts" coming at us from every screen.

If there is a pill for every ill, why are we so sick?

Shawn Stevenson has been on a 20-year mission to learn and research where we went wrong and how we can get out of this mess. Forget about "burning fat" and instead learn the facts that will free us from this prison of chronic illness. Shawn's exit strategy is to share information from an objective place, without an agenda, and truly respect the human body as a complex lab.

Your value is not based on a number. Fat is not your enemy, it's more of an overprotective parent. Let's step back, look within, and see what we find.

We also talk about:

The current state of health
A nuanced approach to obesity and weight loss
Fat: what it is and why we need it
Gut health and immunity
The biology of fear
How do we move forward?

470. Out of the Mind and Into The Body with Taryn Toomey Nov 09, 2021

Taryn Toomey, founder of The Class, helps regulate the mental gymnastics of our mind with intentional movement. Her mission has flipped the notion that self-awakening is solely a job for the intellectual brain by spotlighting exercise as a means to exorcise what needs releasing.

Taryn shares her personal journey, working through a challenging childhood and the kismet ways The Class snowballed during the pandemic. As she sheds old skin, releasing relationships, “guru” projections, and past versions of self, The Class has grown into a movement that not only serves others but is a mirror to measure her own internal landscape.

We also talk about:

Reframing shadow work
Working through enmeshment and unprocessed trauma
How Taryn protects her energy
The science behind The Class
Superficial spirituality and guru projections
Being of service
Healing after a relationship

469. What if my partner isn't spiritual? Nov 02, 2021

Anger, disappointment, betrayal. These are the textbook reactions to your partner when they show no interest in your self-awakening. It feels like everyone else on Instagram are #spiritualcouplegoals, casually going to ayahuasca retreats in Costa Rica. Meanwhile, you can’t get your other half to go to a yoga class. So, what do you do when you’re filling your cup with all the self-help books, crystals – ALL the things – but your partner is not interested in following the same path?

If you feel yourself falling down a rabbit hole of spiritual manipulation, tune into this solo episode with Krista, where she unpacks the do’s and don'ts of addressing spiritual imbalance in partnership and how to silence the spiritual ego from rearing its not-so-enlightened head.

We also talk about:

The spiritual ego and how it manifests
Celebrating similarities in partnership
Finding a sacred community
How to appreciate your partner where they’re at
Feeling independent on your spiritual journey
Spiritual red flags

468. Animals and Their Healing Powers with Alyson Charles Oct 28, 2021

During Alyson Charles' brutal yet beautiful spiritual awakening, animals were a daily medicine that coaxed repressed traumas to the surface. Through the initiation, she rebirthed as "RockStar Shaman" with a mission to collaborate directly with the wisdoms of Mother Earth and Great Spirit/Source, and bridge the gap between animals and humans.

Her spiritual allegiance to the animal world comes full circle with her new book, Animal Power, which decodes the spiritual significance of 100 species along with transformative practices to deepen your relationship with the power animal wanting to support you at this time. In this episode, Alyson reveals the emotionally-charged backstory to birthing her living, breathing medicine book, the responsibility of owning her role as a shaman, and how lessons from surrender and celibacy led her to find sacred union with Luke Storey.

We also talk about:

Exploring the death portal
The potency of illustrations in Animal Power
The meaning behind The Eagle Condor Prophecy
How to connect to your power animal
The responsibility that comes with spiritual gifts
Advice on surviving a spiritual awakening
The inner work to finding an aligned relationship

467. Jenna Kutcher: Blending Motherhood and Entrepreneurship Oct 26, 2021

Minnesota mama and marketing pro, Jenna Kutcher, has ticked off all the things on “the list.” She built a seven-figure digital business from scratch (thanks to a $300 camera purchase on Craigslist), married her life partner, and is a mother after years of trying.

Now, Jenna’s sights are set beyond Instagram strategy. She’s changing the blueprint of what motherhood should look like, and is focusing on the present. The gifts she’s received have been tenfold. She learned how to delegate as a CEO, became the sole breadwinner of her (growing) family, and made actionable steps towards inclusivity in her business.

The goal is not set in stone. Jenna is constantly shedding, cleaning out her closet, trying things on for size, and reclaiming the titles she’s picked up along the way. After all, isn’t that the point of living?

We also talk about:

The path to motherhood and experience miscarrying
Jenna’s hormone reset, getting pregnant and coming home to her body
Taking maternity leave as an entrepreneur and parenting arrangements
Accepting your own timeline and allowing yourself to evolve
How to be an entrepreneur, business owner, and maintain your creative vision
Lessons learned from the pandemic and how it shifted her focus
Leveraging social media for good

465. Living Authentically with Emma Zeck Oct 14, 2021

Emma Zeck has logged off. She skipped New York and a relationship that wasn’t serving her, and let conditional friendships fall away. Sometimes, she even ejects herself from the rabbit hole of Instagram to dance in the woods. When was the last time you immersed yourself in nature without capturing it on camera?

Living authentically has proven to be true medicine for Emma, even if it’s a hard concoction to swallow at times. Getting canceled is no walk in the park. Breakups suck, and we all want someone to hold our hand sometimes.

In this episode, K + L provide a safe space for Emma to speak uninterrupted and unfiltered about her self-discovery journey thus far, searching for validation in self-help books, partners, and people before realizing she already had all the answers within herself.

We also talk about:

Isolation, community, and self-censorship
Evolving friendships, losing friends, and searching for validation
Public persona, self-abandonment, and lessons learned from being canceled
Intuitive movement, and trusting your intuition
Unconditional love, and loving without labels

464. Psilocybin, Mental Health + Reshaping Relationships with Organic Olivia Oct 12, 2021

For Olivia Amitrano, herbalism is everything. In college, a concoction of Chinese medical herbs would heal her crippling skin and gut issues, and, at 28 years old, a profound psilocybin journey lifted the veil on her shadow and transformed her life outlook. Now her sights are set on the powerful properties and rituals of tea. Did we mention, she's the founder of modern herbal medicine brand Organic Olivia?

Olivia is creating space in her life, whether that's taking three weeks to go offline and learning new ways to hold a safe container for friendship or simply going for a long walk.

In this episode, she divulges how her self-awareness journey is shaping her relationships and how her passion for herbalism was planted, and why it just keeps on growing.

We also talk about:

What that looks and feels like to go completely offline
The transformational psilocybin journey that lifted the veil
Navigating anxiety, hormonal and gut health
Reframing exercise + the wonders of walking
How she found herbalism and future business plans

463. Morning Rituals to Unleash Your Creativity with Morgan Harper Nichols Oct 05, 2021

K + L get the tea on Morgan Harper Nichols morning routine, and what lays the groundwork for birthing all the beautiful gifts she brings to the world. She shares how she creates something every day, and why getting smaller with your artistic expression doesn't mean playing small. Now, thanks to her collaboration with Starbucks, your morning coffee can be an act of self-care.

Before you roll your eyes at yet another "morning routine" chat, know that this convo steers clear from dogmatic formulas (who is really journaling for 30 minutes every day anyway)? Instead, think of it as an open-ended invitation for you to explore the small rituals that fuel your creativity and celebrate your life. So feel free to hit the snooze button, and indulge in donuts in bed. You can still sit with us.

We also talk about:

K + L’s morning routines
Why coffee grounds Morgan for her day
The question she asks every morning to stay present
Creating art in any environment

460. Mel Robbins: Change Your Life with This Simple Habit Sep 23, 2021

What do you feel when you look at yourself in the mirror?

In 2020, Mel Robbins found herself spiraling with panic and fear in the thick of the pandemic. It was the same panic and anxiety she felt when her entire world fell apart in 2008, and she found herself knee-deep in $800,000 of debt. She saw herself in the mirror, raised her hand, and gave herself a high-five. She did it again the next day and the day after that. Her fear subsided, and The High 5 Habit was born.

Mel Robbins is living proof that breakdowns lead to breakthroughs. Yet even with financial success, recognition, and all other societal markers of success, you can still feel jealous, hurt, triggered, and helpless. Throughout all of it, you deserve a pat on the back, or better yet, a high five in the mirror.

In this episode, Mel shares the science behind the simple act of raising your hands, stressing the importance of celebrating the small wins and why one effortless, free, and slightly cringe-inducing action, can change the course of your day.

We also talk about:

How she birthed The High 5 Habit and the science behind it
Conquering resistance and negative self talk
Feeling loveable and celebrating small triumphs
How to use jealousy as a signal for self discovery
Why being kind to yourself is everything
Her financial rock bottom that changed everything
Creating The Five Second Rule
Liberating ourselves from the stories we create

459. Peta Kelly: Walk Your Path Sep 21, 2021

Peta Kelly is the poster girl for radical self-acceptance. She owns her s**t and does not play by the polarity rulebook. In a world that's split with black-and-white labels and categories, Peta stands out in glorious technicolor. Let's face it, that can be jarring for some people–especially in the cancel-culture vortex we live in. Rest easy, no one can cancel Peta because she is not giving up on herself.

In this authentic AF episode, Krista and Peta talk about the paradigm shift going on right now in the world, how to break free from virtue signalling rhetoric, and choose the path of sovereignty–even when no one else is on your side.

We also talk about:

Navigating disordered eating and living in your authentic body
Social media overstimulation and online drama
Virtue signaling and cancel culture
Showing up online and self-validation
Walking your own path

458. Embracing Abundance & Cultivating Conscious Relationships Sep 16, 2021

Financial ruin, divorce, and the death of a child drove Danette May away from a life that wasn't her own. Once she began stepping into her true calling to serve Mother Earth and humanity, abundance flowed in all its forms. She's here today to show you how you can do it too.

You don't have to empty your bank account to unlock abundance. Danette's juiciest spiritual takeaways come from connecting to herself (soul writing, gratitude lists), nature (eating one green thing from Mother Earth every day), and cultivating conscious relationships at work and home (weekly meditations, intimacy dates, and so much more)!

Lastly, Danette opens up about her deep-rooted reverence for cacao, its powerful heart-opening ingredients, and the intention behind her food brand, Earth Echo Foods. She inspires everyone to live out, eat, pray, love beyond the pages of a book, and harness the passion and power that's burning inside us all.

We also talk about:

Reaching rock bottom and growing into the woman she is today
The spiritual energetics behind building a successful business
Rewriting her money story
Life strategies that support purpose and relationships
Consistently showing up in partnership

455. The Stories We Tell Ourselves Sep 07, 2021

The narrative loops we contain ourselves in can limit our potential to be free. K + L have spent years untying the threads, which take them back to the childhood origins of specific stories that play out in adulthood. Some are good, others are not so great, but all are creations built from ego; not from soul.

In this episode, K + L divulge how they have confronted stories in their lives, from money to body image, and give radical permission for you to explore your own so that you can rewrite your self-narrative from an empowered place.

We also talk about:

What are stories and why we create them
How K + L healed their stories surrounding money and body image
Dropping into your heart
Rewriting the narrative

This episode is an opportunity to swim in Julie’s multitude of gifts and dive into her fascinating life story. From the creative freedom and grace she found during her financial rock bottom – or “unstable moment” as she calls it – to how she is redefining partnership, creating community, and reclaiming sexuality during this new paradigm shift that the collective is experiencing right now.

453. Unlocking Your Sacred Sexuality Aug 24, 2021

[Please be advised, this episode includes sensitive subject matter including sexual assault and trauma.]

Dr. Sheila Cambell’s mission is to help us understand the (sexual) body as a container from which energy – or Jing Qi – flows. Our sexual bodies host our ecstasy, vulnerability, and carry sexual trauma – a frequency that haunts our bodies and can shadow intimate relationships.

K + L’s chat with Dr. Sheila Cambell is the sex education you never knew you needed. Not only does she give you a myriad of rituals and practices rooted in inter-connectivity and self-awareness to help you connect with your body beyond the physical, but you’ll walk away ready to cut the cords of your sexual past and tune into your sacred sexuality: a space that will take you to the highest peaks – if you just learn how to trust it.

We also talk about:

The sexual body in science and Chinese medicine
How our body holds sexual trauma
Morning rituals and workouts to tune into your body
Dr. Sheila Campbell’s sexual healing treatment and Krista’s session
Orgasms, sexual blocks, and connecting with sex

452. Sex, Stress, and Sleep: Empowering Women to Take Control Aug 19, 2021

451. Dr. Zach Bush on Fear, The Immune System & The Real Meaning of Life Aug 17, 2021

We live in a fear-inducing world. It’s wrecking our immune systems, eco-systems, and sense of community. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but curious minds like Dr. Zach Bush are carving a new path for people beyond the “pill-for-every-ill” philosophy that doesn’t seem to be leading anywhere good.

In this eye-opening episode that confronts the mental, physical and environmental vortex we all find ourselves in, Dr. Zach Bush lays down the facts: from how the pharmaceutical industry has failed to help us heal to the toxic food industry that’s bleached the soil and harmed our bodies. But, there is hope. To truly fix this, we will have to work together, move away from fear, and turn to Mother Nature for her true medicine.

We also talk about:

Working in traditional medicine and experience with depression
The health insurance crisis we don’t want to talk about
The fear paradigm and how it affects our health
The viruses we’re currently fighting
How glyphosate is attacking humanity and the environment
Mother Nature as a teacher

450. Comparison: Why We Do It + How to Deal Aug 10, 2021

In this episode, Krista examines the scientific root of comparison and the knock-on effects it can have on one's confidence and sense of self.

Everyone can relate to the sensation of seeing green when a friend or someone you know or admire achieves a life milestone you're yearning for. It's human, it's real, and can be mentally excruciating – if you fall down the rabbit hole of negative self-talk.

When Krista caught herself slipping down the comparison spiral, she decided to delve into the rationale behind it, and explore the theme with Almost 30 Nation in greater detail. Tune in to uncover Krista's spiritual support system that allows you to break free from comparative thought loops and step back into your power.

Why some people are prone to comparing themselves to others

Here to talk about the psychology of money – sans the BS – is Ramit Sethi. A finance entrepreneur who actually meets you exactly where you are, Ramit helps you create the rich life you deserve – the one your bank told you that you couldn’t have.

Ground-breaking yogi, author, and activist, Jessamyn Stanley, jams with K + L for another heart-opening conversation about “living life off the book.” For Jessamyn, that translates to consciously keeping check of what she is consuming on social media and how she positions herself in the public sphere as one of the only black, female business owners in the digital, yoga space.

440. The Science of Manifestation with Dr. Tara Swart Jul 06, 2021

Neuroscientist, medical doctor, and neuroscience and psychological advisor for To Be Magnetic, Dr. Tara Swart, joins “Almost 30” to discuss the scientific roots behind manifestation.

Everyone loves to drop words like “dopamine,” “oxytocin,” “serotonin,” and “endorphins” when talking about career, relationships, and our everyday device-dependent lives. But who really gets to grips with the nitty-gritty details behind such big terminology or what Dr. Swart refers to as the DOSE hormones?

Tara’s pragmatic approach and research-backed perspective are a grounded way to filter the woo-woo from the lofty themes of the trending spiritual practices you see pop up on your Insta-feeds so that you can really connect with the roots of manifestation.

In this episode, Dr. Tara Swart dissects the dynamics of the brain, neural pathways, and explains how societal programming stems from human evolution. You’ll also learn why the brain is malleable, flexible, and how you can connect neuroplasticity to a manifestation practice (such as To Be Magnetic) to unlock your true potential.

We also talk about:

Money blocks and income flows
Risk and reward dynamics
Dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins
Numbing processes and subconscious reprogramming
Inner child work and trauma
Envy and jealousy reprogramming
Maintaining brain flexibility

439. Are We All Healers? Jun 29, 2021

Energy healer, entrepreneur – and Krista's wedding officiant, Millana Snow, shares space and profound wisdom with a conversation centered on her journey to becoming a healer, self-empowerment, and spiritual growth. It's a beautiful closing of a circle from her last episode back in 2017, as she has made monumental strides in just about every aspect of her life since her previous pod chat with K + L.

Millana unpacks her initial resistance to publically “coming out” as a healer. Since doing so, she has seriously up-leveled into the upper echelons of the wellness world (yay, abundance!), evolving her spiritual practice by teaching herself and her clients to jump into the unknown and release attachments to narratives that no longer serve them.

This truly enriching conversation will inspire you to believe manifesting your dream life is 100% possible, and you don't have to look outside yourself to do so.

We also talk about:

Friendship origins
Stepping into being a healer
Belief mindset and leaning into healing
Analyzing attachment to old narratives and constructs
Work, money, time, and sense of worth
Cutting cords and setting boundaries
Deep learnings and manifesting partnership
Millana’s offerings and online courses!

437. Behind The Scenes of Krista’s Spiritual Wedding Vortex Jun 22, 2021

Krista reflects on her wedding, including the lead-up to the ceremony and the takeaways from the emotionally charged event

By tying the knot, Krista had to untie herself from the anti-marriage narrative she had lived since childhood. She had to redefine what a sacred union meant to her and Justin as a spiritually-evolved couple.

In this episode, Krista shares how she moved away from tradition to tap into the natural flow of the day; from getting ready alone and adding intentional moments to the ceremony, to allowing herself to sit in the more somber shades of such an emotionally heightened experience.

We also talk about:

Emotions and challenges coming up, pre-wedding
Navigating the guest list and feelings of disappointment
How she made the ceremony personal
Surrendering to the moment and celebrating (real) life in vows

436. $150 B Industry: Child Sex Trafficking and Exploitation Jun 17, 2021

This episode is a hard pill to swallow, but sex trafficking is too important of an issue for “Almost 30” – or anyone else – to sweep under the rug. This is not a drill: modern slavery, sex trafficking, and organ harvesting are rampant worldwide.

This week’s guest, Tim Ballard, has dedicated the past 20 years to infiltrating the rings where this unimaginable level of abuse happens. Today he talks about his organization, Operation Underground Railroad, and their mission to crush a 150 billion dollar industry, saving one child at a time.

In addition, he reflects on his years working for the US government and educates the audience on how they can help a cause that’s so hard to get your head around. Shedding innocence is as challenging as it is gut-wrenching, but K + L hope this enlightening conversation is a step in the right direction.

You can watch Tim Ballard’s recent Emmy-nominated documentary, “Operation Toussaint,” on Amazon Prime.

We also talk about:

His political backstory and why he left the US government to work privately
How sex trafficking has been politized and the detrimental consequences
Following leads and building relationships
The organ harvesting industry
How the pandemic has affected sex trafficking
Internet, social media, and the porn industry
What is happening on US soil

Plus, Nedra advises on how to self-advocate for what feels safe and right for you and dives into the ways we communicate with each other from face to face, to social media, to behind each other’s backs.

We also talk about:

She talks about evolving as an artist and how her inner development led to her book, How Far You Have Come, a visual and literary retrospective on the vastness of human experience and growth through the lens of place.

We also talk about:

Creating your story
Morgan’s creative upbringing and influences
How spirituality influences her practice
Online boundaries and showing up authentically and respectfully to her online community

429. Jamie Kern Lima Built a Billion Dollar Business by Being Herself May 25, 2021

It’s hard to believe that someone who has built a billion-dollar brand could ever feel doubts about anything in their life, especially when they’ve ticked off all the things. But today’s Almost 30 guest, Jamie Kern Lima, isn’t afraid to get real and vulnerable about what goes on behind the mask.

Today, she reveals all her doubts, from the, Are You There-God? It’s Me, Jamie moments and past career qualms to questions about self-worth and her body – the last puzzle piece she’s currently dead set on solving (aren’t we all)?

Her latest book, “Believe IT,” illustrates how she became resolute in her mission to, not only, build a cosmetic empire, but to do it her way, even when doors were slamming in her face. She made it, BIG, but found herself dimming her light in the name of “being humble” and not owning her achievements. Today, she wholly owns her story, hoping that it will help inspire everyone out there to BELIEVE they can do IT too.

Can we get an amen?

428. Biohack Your Skin + Dental Care with Trina Felber May 20, 2021

Today’s guest, Trina Felber, used to be your typical commercial skincare addict with a bathroom shelf laden with (toxic) products that weren’t delivering what they said on their (plastic) packaging.

After discovering the benefits of using natural olive oil on her face (the true first paleo-friendly skincare), she cured her acne, scars and found her skin looking dewier and plumper than ever before. It took her on a long detoxification journey which eventually led her to launch her own organic, non-toxic, clean skincare and dental hygiene company, Primal Life Organics.

Together we get real on the beauty products and ingredients that are failing us and talk about why skin, teeth, and gums are mirrors to your inner ecosystem. She breaks down the elements you should be adding to your skincare and dental routine and the dangerous devils you should be scoping out on your toiletry labels.

We also talk about:

The fantastic results she found changing her skincare regime
Launching Primal Life Organics
The nutrients found in natural oils
What to look out for on labels
Using clay and carbon to detoxify

425. Astrology for the Collective Awakening with David Palmer May 11, 2021

There’s no smoke and mirrors when it comes to celebrity astrologer and spiritual influencer David Palmer, aka The Leo King, devoted truth-seeker and student of the stars. He was making waves on the astrological scene long before astrology morphed into the trending topic that it is, today.

So much of mainstream astrology orbits the specifics, leaving you sated but not wholly satisfied. David's profound strides towards the truth, however, push through the darkness, to search for the real deal.

Kristi, Lindsey, and David unpack science, the planets, pandemics, relationships, and God through the lens of astrology and piece together the multi-dimensional shifts we've been experiencing as a collective since 2012. After discussing the foundations of hermeticism and the outlook for 2021 (FYI: you're in for a wild ride), David dives into Almost 30's birth charts, examining K + L's astrological focus for the rest of the year.

Lindsey walks through her experience with enmeshment and how she is processing behavioral patterns with her therapist and her loved ones.

Through the support of a therapist, dedicated research, and breathwork, Lindsey has found liberation in setting boundaries with those closest to her and is reprogramming her brain to not seek outside validation at the expense of her own growth and happiness.

Lindsey hopes this episode will inspire you to reflect on where enmeshment shows up in your life and seek the support necessary to step into your highest self.

Family enmeshment and self-advocacy

423. The Science of Meditation with Emily Fletcher May 04, 2021

In the first episode dedicated to the science of meditation, Lindsey and Krista connect with grounded guru and renowned meditation teacher, Emily Fletcher, (who’s had 50,000 students and counting). She’s also the founder of Ziva Meditation.

Emily delivers some serious science mic drops in the conversation as she dispels meditation myths that encourage the eye-roll response from naysayers when you say, “meditation changed your life.” The facts can’t be swept under the mediation cushion anymore because this s*** actually affects your brain chemistry and has been scientifically proven to turn you into a productive powerhouse.

Almost 30 decodes the cognitive benefits of meditation and how leaning into the practice can help you process your feelings (ugly crying included), listen to nature’s signals, and manifest from your highest, most present self.

We also talk about:

Her breakdown in Broadway to her breakthrough in India
Myths around meditation
How meditation impacts the physical body
Productivity and meditation
Meditation, manifestation, and the in-between
Toxic positivity and surrendering to your feelings

421. How To Create Boundaries & Reclaim Your Power with Terri Cole Apr 27, 2021

Boundary boss babe, Terri Cole, has the last word when it comes to the power of personal boundaries. As a top psychotherapist, she’s helped thousands of women set and sustain effective boundaries with ease and grace for over two decades.

Her modern diagnosis of codependent behavior is going to hit home for so many of you out there who are seriously slaying it hard in life but become shrinking violets when it comes to articulating your needs with those closest to you — or feel shackled by the need/yearning to people-please, even at the expense of your sanity.

We get it. We relate, and boy, have we been there!

The good news is, there is a way out. Terri has it all mapped out in her boundary blueprint, Boundary Boss, right down to conversation scripts! In this episode, we deep dive into different boundary scenarios and how you can set limits with anyone using her specific set of tools to help you become the boss of you!

Remember, boundaries are not a punishment; instead, they are an opportunity to cultivate healthy relationships and expectations that nourish us rather than deplete our inner resources.

We also talk about:

Why setting boundaries is a trending topic
Codependency vs. high-functioning codependency
Creating boundaries with family
The importance of preference
The path to becoming a boundary boss
Self-growth and reflection
Narcissism and narcissistic behavior

420. Addiction Recovery + Celebrating Evolution with Arielle Lorre Apr 22, 2021

Arielle Lorre doesn’t put a Disney spin on anything. She’s a unique wellness and lifestyle influencer who candidly reveals the ebbs and flows of self-improvement with brutal honesty and vulnerability.

Her backstory is no fairytale. While most of her 20-somethings peers took a hop, skip, and a jump from graduating college to living their best SATC-style lives in NYC, Arielle was, at her lowest point, delirious in a 2-month blackout, snorting dust from the floor as she battered her body with alcohol and drugs. Seizures were the norm, as were half-ditched attempts at rehab between the ages of 20 to 28.

Today, she unpacks her journey from addiction to recovery and the stepping stones it took her to get to where she is today – 7 years sober, happily married, and a bad-ass entrepreneur dedicated to living her best life possible, which now includes meditation, morning Matcha, intuitive eating – and a little cosmetic surgery along the way!

We also talk about:

The roots of her addiction
The rehab and relapse cycle
Rock bottom and rehabilitation process
Sobriety and the importance of her support system
Spirituality, community, and Transcendental Meditation
Starting a high-profile relationship in the public eye
Body healing, eating habits, and diet journey
Evolving with her audience
Cosmetic surgery and self-love
Morning routines

419. A Holistic Approach to the Body and Home with Kelly LeVeque Apr 20, 2021

As females, our plates are full – with spiked-up hormones, food drama, mommy pressures, and family dynamics. No one understands this more than Kelly, and she encourages her clients to check in with their mental well-being as much as their shopping list. Her Body Love Journal is a beautiful opportunity to reflect on your relationship with food and celebrate life’s little treasures along the way.

We love chatting with Kelly LeVeque – an OG guest and supporter of the podcast – and just marinating in her nutritional knowledge. Today she delivers the facts on clean water, salt intake, gluten, non-dairy milk – and how to deal with your partner’s penchant for pizza.

Proper body nourishment goes beyond food. Kelly unpacks how she released the mental residue from a traumatic birth and how non-science-based healing modalities transformed her life and approach with clients. In short, you can gulp all the green juice you want but can’t truly fill your cup without releasing energy/trauma and pain that’s carried subconsciously in the body.

We also talk about:

Our relationship with food
How to tackle mold damage in the home
High-quality water and hydration benefits
Processing grief and trauma
Preparing the body for pregnancy and birth
Embracing science and spirituality for self-care
Motherhood pressures
Aligning with your partner on wellness

Gluten, non-dairy milk, and making healthy choices

418. Why We’re Leaving LA Apr 15, 2021

Everything is as it was, and everything has changed.

Lindsey is closing the door on her LA chapter and moving back to New York. Krista is contemplating motherhood and a potential move to Austin. Today, they give gratitude to the city that gifted them life-long connections, boundless creativity, and the opportunity to live out their authentic truth. Not to mention, drop woo-woo one-liners in social circles without any sense of irony! They also open up about the harder edges of LA life; from the hollowness of Hollywood and spiraling homelessness crisis to the impact of the pandemic on local businesses.

If you were waiting for an LA-bashing episode, this isn’t it. This is a celebration of what is, what’s coming, and what the hell was that? It’s an active shedding of old beliefs, and a permission slip to re-write the rules, lean into your intuition, go big, and go (to a new) home.

We also talk about:

Celebrating community and creativity in LA
Sober reflections on Hollywood industry
Trusting your decisions, following your truth
Our next destinations!
Why it’s normal to feel hesitant about starting a family
Creating narratives in your head
Spirituality 2.0
Friendship transitions

417. Embrace Your Inner Troublemaker with Luvvie Ajayi Apr 13, 2021

We all have a troublemaker inside of us: that part of us gets put in its place at an early age. It's up to us to learn how to awaken this part of ourselves — that's what Luvvie Ajayi is all about.

The troublemaker is the part of us that's committed to pushing past the fear. Luvvie almost let fear make her say no to the TED talk that ultimately changed her life. Inspired by that event, her book Professional Troublemaker: The Fear-Fighter Manual is full of Luvvie's trademark wit and warmth while dispensing life-changing advice.

It's so important that we shake things up in society and culture and stand up for what we believe in. Being a troublemaker means being a changemaker, and we all know the world is ready for some change. That's why we're here, right?

We also talk about:

Doing the thing that feels too easy
How imposter syndrome is the cousin of fear
How Luvvie almost passed up a life defining moment due to fear
Being purposeful about who you reach out to for advice
The importance of being fearless
The pros and cons of social media
Bringing about constructive conversations
Writing your life’s mission statement

416. Lonely on Your Spiritual Path? Apr 08, 2021

The path to spiritual awakening can be so lonely. Chances are, the people in your life are going to be skeptical, especially if they haven't made space for their own growth. They'll sow doubt, and can make you feel alone, different, and isolated from the world you thought you knew.

Too much outside noise and influence started to make Krista feel like she was doing something wrong by going on this journey – but she had to trust her gut above all else. When you know in your heart and soul that you're doing the right thing, you HAVE to keep pushing forward – even when society tries to tell you that you're wrong or make you feel unsafe.

Throughout this type of transition, things will feel shaky, and uneasy. You may lose some friends (let's be honest, you probably will). But it's all part of making space for your own growth. On the other side, you're going to find a beautiful support system, and a powerful alignment to who you TRULY are that feels better than you could have imagined.

We also talk about:

Coming to the realization of how lonely the spiritual journey can be
Knowing that you are never alone
Having a relationship with Source
Embracing change + letting go of the illusion of permanence
Being unattached to how others think
Outsourcing our intuition
Building up a new community
Being comfortable in solitude

415. Body Acceptance Roundtable Apr 06, 2021

Body image is something women are acutely aware of from a young age, and a topic we don’t shy away from on Almost 30. Everyone - no matter what they look like - has a complicated relationship with their body, and it’s important not to judge or assume things based on how someone looks. In today’s conversation, K+L got together with close friends and influencers Shayla Quinn + Britney Vest for a roundtable reality session to shine a light on the internal dialogue we all have around weight and body image. Although our stories are different, we all still experience hardships and shame around our bodies. It takes years of reprogramming and conscious effort to change the narratives we’ve grown up with about our bodies, but it is possible to get to a place of love and acceptance. . Shayla and Britney talk about when they first started noticing their bodies, how well-meaning people can warp our self-perspective, and how we can learn to move on from the need for validation. We’re so grateful that they’re willing to vulnerably share their experience with all of us, remind us that we’re not alone, and that truly loving and accepting ourselves is the most powerful and healing thing we can do.

We also talk about:

Where our body image issues come from
How diet culture benefits from our insecurities
Changing your relationship with weight loss
Healing the need for validation
The lessons we pick up from our parents
The power of showing up

Jordan joins K+L to talk about her healing journey that has led to her own intuitive way of eating called the "celestial lifestyle."

Jordan is committed to sharing her story for others who may not have access to those resources, making her a beloved educator in the wellness space. As such, she has been the subject of negative commentary in the media.

413. Cancel Culture, Moral Superiority, and the Woke Cult with Africa Brooke Mar 30, 2021

It's incredible how empowering it can be to bring in different perspectives to our decision making process. When we ask questions, do research, trust ourselves, consult with multiple authorities, and make decisions from there, then we can truly feel secure in our choices, regardless of the outcome. That's what we dive into on today’s podcast with Africa Brooke: a mindset coach, business consultant, podcaster, and speaker, who specializes in helping people overcome what is commonly known as self-sabotage. This conversation covers woke culture (and toxic forms of it), self-censorship, cancel culture, and so much more. They also dive into Africa's journey to sobriety, and how she developed self-responsibility from that.

This episode is a reminder that we live in a world of endless creativity. If we cut off that creativity by putting ourselves into a shameful mindset, or preventing ourselves from moving away from our past, we're doing a disservice to ourselves and to the world. Africa encourages us to stay open-minded, take what works for us, and create our own opinion.

We also talk about:

How sobriety has led to radical responsibility
Why being offended robs you of your power
The moral superiority trap
Fighting the pull to join the cancel culture mob
How people are leveraging language
Being wary of self-censorship
Moving towards being solution-oriented instead of problem-oriented
Cultivating confidence within yourself

We talk about learning to lean on others without falling into codependency patterns, creating positive boundaries, and setting up expectations in your relationships. Wherever you are in your healing journey, Dr. Nicole is going to help you do the work.

Ep. 409 - Overcoming the Fear of Feedback with Dr. Therese Huston Mar 16, 2021

Feedback — both giving and receiving it — is such an integral part of life. These are often the pivotal moments that define our futures. So why do so many of us suck at feedback… and how do we get better? Therese Huston, a cognitive scientist at Seattle University, literally wrote the book on feedback. “Let’s Talk” blends research with personal stories that share how to say what needs to be said in a way that people hear what they need to hear. And remote work makes things more complicated with a new set of etiquette that we haven’t mastered yet! So, let’s learn to make the most of feedback moments so that we can do our best work and lift others up as well.

We also talk about:

The difference in digital feedback
The negativity bias and how to combat it when giving feedback
The nuances between different communication methods
How we wrap up our identity in our work
Why we dread giving and receiving feedback
Handling feedback during short-term relationships
Creating a culture of feedback
How to best integrate feedback in your life

Ep. 407 - How to Heal the Mother Wound with Bethany Webster Mar 09, 2021

Bethany Webster is a global expert on healing the “Mother Wound,” something K+L have been intimately working with for a while now. It’s the source of so much trauma in our lives, with generation after generation of mothers passing along the damaging beliefs embedded into them by the patriarchy and their parents. But Bethany helps women heal this core wound by teaching them how to discover and tap into their “Inner Mother.” The Mother Wound feeds into all areas of our life, from our diets to our interactions with other women to our own self-worth. It’s foundational to the way we interact with the world. How incredible would it be, then, to change it for the better? Way better.

We also talk about:

Lindsey was single for seven years, and it wasn’t until about five years in that she realized the purpose of that season in her life, that she stopped trying to find validation, reason, and purpose solely in a relationship. Being in a committed relationship now, she is in the unique position to look back on how powerful reconnecting to herself during that time was and how it opened her up to be able to connect with another person like she had never been capable of before. So, what is the source of this pressure to find a partner? Let’s look inside and find out.

Ep. 404 - Receiving: How Productivity Keeps Us From the Life We Want Feb 25, 2021

Almost 30 has gone through a lot of growth lately! We launched our membership, did a complete rebrand, and built out entirely new systems. And as that all settled, Krista’s first thought was: What’s next? But it is so, SO important that we make time and space to receive from all of the hard work that we put in. We can get so caught up in the manifesting and the goal-setting that we forget to actually enjoy the fruits of our labor. Receiving and expressing gratitude are huge parts of manifesting, and we have to be able to receive all the things we’re striving for.

We talk about:

The focus in our culture on productivity - and how we can get out of it
How to work on your unconscious beliefs to support your ability to receive
Understanding the importance of receiving
How to feel what it feels like receiving in your body

Ep. 399 - The Joy of Healing with Devi Brown Feb 09, 2021

THE INTERVIEW

So many women are so afraid to pivot and follow their calling when they’ve found something that’s comfortable. At the height of her career, Devi Brown was interviewing greats in the music industry such as Quincy Jones and Kendrick Lamar, but she felt called to do something else with her life. So she mustered up the courage to leave her dream job and dove into a world of personal growth and spirituality. Now she is a Reiki healer, founder of KARMA BLISS, and an advocate for creating more space for women of color in the wellness industry — both as educators and as participants. She talks about taking that leap, the growth she’s done throughout quarantine, how she’s owned it, some of her favorite modes of healing, and being a mother.

The mindset around money and abundance necessary for taking a leap

Late in her life, Lindsey had the realization that she deeply deserved discipline.

But, actually, creativity is like a puppy: You have to train it in order for it to be happy and feel safe. Lindsey dives into her journey to create discipline around her music, art, and self-expression, and how this process allowed her to trust herself more, feel more inspired, and create momentum in her life. She also gives tactical ways in which you can build discipline into your life to help you create that thing you keep pushing down the to-do list.

K+L originally spoke to Alok Vaid Menon about two years ago — or, in 2020 terms, a lifetime ago — and it continues to be a relevant and important conversation for us to share. There are few people who have had such a lasting impact, not just from the show but from life. K+L left this conversation feeling more human, more connected, more aware of how they affect others: exactly what our world desperately needs more of right now.

Growing up (emotionally repressed) in a small Texas town

Visibility does not mean safety for women and trans people
Where Alok developed their emotional vocabulary
Gender + shame
Learning not to fear their own gender nonconformity
The psychology of fascism
Why Alok is frustrated by the individualism of self-care

Being alone is a chance to come back to center and recognize your own energy, and by doing something active and engaging alone, without having to juggle others’ expectations, it can be a great opportunity to tune into your own wants, needs, and desires.

369. Danielle LaPorte: Death, Christ Consciousness, + Saving The Children Oct 20, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

Danielle LaPorte’s books “Desire Map” and “White Hot Truth” were game changers for K+L when they first moved to LA, and they’ve followed her teachings ever since. They *go there* in this interview. We’re talking about Christ consciousness, the spiritual warfare happening in the world today, saving the children, atonement, leadership, finding peace in unstable times, living a reflective life, and so much more. She’s leaning out her spiritual menu and dropping what isn’t moving her along. She’s trying to feel her own suffering instead of distracting from it, like so many of us do. It’s pure medicine for the soul

We also talk about:

Maintaining peace through all the chaos of the world
Our collective relationship with death
The importance of forgiveness
The distinction between Jesus and Christ
Looking for a relationship with God
Stepping into a new age
“Save the Children”
Getting rid of what we don’t need
Understanding true leadership

368. The Natural Path: Beauty, Oral Care + Yoni Health with Nadine Artemis Oct 15, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

Nadine Artemis knows there’s a better, more natural path to overall wellness than the standards our society has shown us. She’s helping us break through old standards of health and caring for our bodies that aren’t working and making way for more natural, effective solutions. She’s the founder of Living Libations, a hugely popular organic beauty product company. Everything they offer is totally natural, and they have an impressive range of products. Nadine wrote "Holistic Dental Care" in 2013 and she goes into the effects everything we put into our mouth have on the microbiome of the mouth and our system. If we can get our oral and dental care natural, we are on our way. She also talks about being in the sun and how important that is to our health as a natural way to heal us and improve our mood and immunity. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, and in her new book, “Renegade Beauty,” she breaks down everything you need to know about clean beauty. Can she be our second mom?

We also talk about:

Our spiritual connection to the sun

366. Healing Through Sound + Mantra with Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary Oct 08, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary is an integrative neurologist, a neuroscientist, and the author of “Sound Medicine: How to Use the Ancient Science of Sound to Heal the Body and Mind.” She is currently working in India, integrating the use of sound medicine into the treatment of chronic disease and studying how ancient mantras affect people. Both K + L have had amazingly transformative experiences with sound healing, from ancient practices like sound baths to modern biohacks like binaural beats. But what makes sound and mantra so exciting and special is that they are such accessible transformational tools. We are all electric beings, affected by vibration and sound, and we can heal through the use of sound. This is so important for anyone who is looking for new ways to de-stress and heal right now.

365. Human Design + Healing Your Relationship with Money with Jas the Moon Mother Oct 06, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

Jas the Moon Mother recently entered our orbit and has already been a grounding force in elevating our understanding of our purpose. Jas is a human design guide and energy healer who is passionate about awakening your soul’s purpose and self-sovereignty. She’s always been years ahead of the crowd, but because of that she never really felt like part of the crowd. When she experienced her spiritual awakening, she realized how connected all life on earth is and how much we impact each other, which led to the realization that we are all part of the same source—we are all God. In this enlightening conversation, the girls talk about human design, Jas’ calling, spirituality in general, God, Christ consciousness, transformation, and our broken views about money.

We also talk about:

Being ahead of your time
Healing your relationship with money
How what we do affects people’s lives
Jas’ spiritual awakening
Zero-point manifestation
Applying human design in your life
Reprogramming your life for the life you want
The connection between human design and purpose

364. Breathwork: The Mind Release + Soul Remembering with Samantha Skelly Oct 01, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

One time Samantha Skelly showed up for her meditation class late, so she was offered a breathwork class instead. She was skeptical, but tried it out anyway. She thought it looked like an orgy, the energy healer leading the session told her that her brain was broken, and she bawled her eyes out… and she LOVED it. So she asked herself: how does the whole world not know we have the ability to feel this? Samantha and Lindsey dive into the life-changing experience of breathwork and how we can ALL tap into the healing available inside each and every one of us to release our minds and learn to feel again. Lindsey found breathwork two years ago and was completely changed for the better by this practice. In this episode, the girls share personal experiences and the soul shifting effects of this powerful healing modality.

We also talk about:

Finding breathwork
How emotions get caught in the body
The ways breathwork heals us (or allows us to heal ourselves)
Integrating breathwork into your everyday life
Getting started with breathwork
Vocal releasing during breathwork

363. Gabby Bernstein: You Are The Guru Sep 29, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

Gabby Bernstein certainly needs no introduction. She has this ability to be so present in her own life and share what’s happening in real-time while translating that into her new message and teaching, all with a no-BS attitude that you just have to love, and we are here for it. No matter what is going on around her or in the world, she’s found a way to anchor into her own truth and intuition, and she’s sharing how we all can do the same. As we see gurus fall from the pedestals we’ve put them on, it falls upon us to figure out what messages work and what messages don’t for ourselves. We dive into her new audiobook, “You Are The Guru,” how her relationship with eating has evolved, and the difference between surrendering and finding creative solutions. She also shares how compassion creates connection and why that is so important to foster during this time.

We also talk about:

How she’s feeling after postpartum depression
The choices we face during times of crisis
How to work through your excuses + find creative opportunities

She knows that nobody really has it together and unapologetically points it out at any occasion — to hilarious results. We chat about why everyone’s leaving Los Angeles, how it feels moving to a new city for the first time (and how much easier it is the second time), jiving with your partner during quarantine, and why it’s so damn expensive just living in this world. This is a fun one.

359. The Power of Airing Ugly Truths with Chinae Alexander Sep 15, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

Chinae Alexander is the kind of person you just want to be friends with. She’s vulnerable about the process of improving herself and figuring shit out, but she owns who she is with confidence. By showing the imperfect side of herself, it allows the people who follow her to see that they, too, can do the work AND be confident. Now, that’s an inspiring thing we don’t often see in the sometimes too-perfect-to-be-real world of Instagram influencers. She believes in showing up as the taste menu of yourself instead of the full ten-course meal — giving people enough of the real you to satisfy them and keep them full. In this thoughtful conversation, she dives into showing up as yourself online, finding a therapist who doesn’t freak you out, processing your emotions out loud, and handling anxiety in whatever way you can.

We also talk about:

Stepping in as a leader
Navigating the last few months
Processing emotions in public
Fully existing as yourself online
Dealing with anxiety
How coronavirus has given us more gratitude

357. Jay Shetty on Spirituality, Leadership + Finding Your Purpose Sep 08, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

Welcome to a highlight of our podcasting career: a conversation with Jay Shetty. Jay started this interview by saying “Let’s have a conversation I’ve never had before.” And so we did. If you don’t already know and love Jay, he’s known for his viral social media videos where he teaches the principles he learned during his time as a monk. He’s now the host of the FIRE podcast, On Purpose, and author of the new book “Think Like A Monk,” and let us just say - he is everything you feel from him online and more. 😍 We don’t all have to be monks to adopt the same principles that allow them to lead lives of service and purpose. Jay shares the wisdom he gained from that time in his life and how we can bring the pillars of that lifestyle into our own lives for peace, groundedness, and connection. We dive into leadership, ego, creativity, and flow, as well as how you can stay inspired on the daily. We also go deep into his spirituality and connection to source, and it’s beautiful to hear his relationship with the universe in an easy-to-access way.

We also talk about:

Learning marketing and business in order to let your art see the world
Being in service of others
Living as a monk
Becoming more adaptable
Blocking creativity through structure

But as she vulnerably shares with us, her life isn’t all Instagram inspo 24/7. Camila was diagnosed with epilepsy as a teen and just recently began to open up and talk about how it impacts her life. Camila also gets real + emotional about the difficulties of navigating a pregnancy while being epileptic. We already loved following her, but now are even more impressed by the woman, business leader, and style icon she is!

THE INTERVIEW

Gabby Reece is iconic. She’s an athlete, a leader, an author, a wife, a mother, and an entrepreneur, and yet still so down-to-earth it’s kinda hard to believe. She popularized the idea of “going first” when interacting with other people: smile first, wave first, talk first, and break the tension without allowing awkwardness to grow between you. It’s a welcoming invitation to be present. She has such a liberating perspective on purpose, parenting, embracing the beauty and lessons in different phases of your life, and just being a good person on this planet. This is such an incredibly dynamic conversation from a true LEGEND that will hopefully encourage you to do things in your own way!

In today’s episode, he talks about Atlantis, predictions for 2020, what’s going on in the world right now, his relationship and how releasing your inner child can be part of our collective healing. And you REALLY don’t want to miss the ending where Shaman Durek confesses what he loves about country music—complete with a knee-slapping sing-along. You’re going to *feel* this one.

We also talk about:

Giving yourself permission to shine
Learning to trust yourself for who you want to be
Getting in touch with the ET part of you
Remembering your past lives
The history of Atlantis
Viewing your ego as a protector
Why people are afraid of the synergy of masculinity and femininity

349. Baring It all with The Birds Papaya Aug 11, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

Known as @thebirdspapaya on Instagram, Sarah Nicole Landry unpacks what it means to be out there in the world with confidence and love. Being super honest, open, and vulnerable with yourself is hard enough. Embodying that around other people is a whole different level of uncomfortable… but it’s such a transformative way to live your life! It’s hard to slow down and think of the effect that having eyes on our social media all the time has had on our emotional and mental wellbeing—the spiral of comparison or self-doubt—but she puts it into such a clear perspective. She is still, like all of us, in process, and that’s part of what’s so beautiful about her and her story.

We also talk about:

Being honest about your growth and transformation instead of ashamed of your past
The shame of wrapping your value up in external circumstances
Hitting rock bottom and healing
Having your own opinions instead of being a sponge for everyone elses
Learning to heal in relationships and love
The difficulties of vulnerability

336. The Spiritual Text that Changed My Life - with Aaron Abke Jun 25, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

“The Law of One” is the most profound text Krista has ever read, and after reading it, she knew she HAD to share it with #almost30nation. It’s one of those texts where, after you read it, you know you will never be the same. It’s a historical text that was translated from a consciousness of the sixth dimension, known as Ra, through a woman. If you’re just starting to explore your spirituality in earnest, the book may be diving into the deep end — but if you are interested in aliens, history, sacred geometry, or metaphysics, “The Law of One” is a must read.

Aaron Abke is a YouTuber + a conscious influencer. He’s done several videos where he breaks down the Law of One, and if you don’t feel that you can read the text, that’s an excellent place to start. He is the perfect person to dive DEEP into all things consciousness, dimensions, aliens, pyramids — everything K + L LOVE to talk about!

We also talk about:

The trajectory of Aaron’s spiritual awakening
What the Law of One is
The relationship between Venus and aliens
The differences between dimensions and densities
Why people want to skip the fourth dimension
Wrestling between the two polarities of service to others or service to self
The role of free will
How they were able to channel Ra
The elements of each density
The galactic federation
The healing parts of the Law of One
Tarot in the Law of One

335. Dismantling White Supremacy in the Coaching Industry with Trudi Lebron Jun 23, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

Coaching is an increasingly popular career choice, but rarely do we see advice addressing the impact of diversity and inclusion, or lack thereof. That’s why it was so important for us to invite Trudi Lebron to share your knowledge and insight into the Impact + Equity Coaching space.

She sees coaching as the biggest opportunity for impact in the world, and she’s making sure it’s approachable, affordable, and equitable for everyone.

We dive into topics of diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-racism, and what all the differences are between them. We also talk about what spiritual bypassing is, as well as some of the microaggressions Trudi has experienced in her work.

Doing things to prove people wrong
Creating the conditions for success equitably
Realizing the kind of life you want

THE SOLO

Everyone has had different experiences in quarantine and isolation — those who are enjoying it and others who are struggling & riddled with anxiety. As we see the world opening up again, we find ourselves thinking, “How can we maintain a sense of peace, groundedness, and a commitment to our evolution and growth?” That’s always been the point of this show, and this collective pause has really put a spotlight on the ways in which we must protect our energy and reflect on what’s truly important. We’ve also seen how focusing on personal growth can help us live a more aligned life and how making ourselves a priority positively affects other areas of our lives.

332. White Privilege: Waking Up to Our Unconscious Biases (re-release) Jun 11, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

K + L are here, as always, to have real, honest conversations — ones that challenge us, make us uncomfortable, and help us grow. This conversation with Thaís Sky on white privilege and white fragility from 2018 is one of those. These are important parts of who many of us are and what we experience that we need to look at in order to be better and do better. Our hope is that you are inspired to dismantle your attachment and support of systems that, for centuries, have contributed to blatant racism and inequality. Enough is enough. We ask that in listening, you have an open mind, are ready to learn, and are willing to explore how you can be a part of the change. .

We also talk about:

Opportunities for growth
Being addicted to our shitty thoughts + shitty people
Trying not to compartmentalize our own spirituality
Feeling unworthy of your own self-care: we can't show up for others if we’re not showing up for ourselves.
The governmental + societal systems that keep certain groups of people oppressed
How white women contribute to + benefit from racism
How we can REALLY educate ourselves about systematic oppression + privilege
When you have privilege, what is your place in the conversation?
Living in an emotionally illiterate culture
How to avoid tokenizing people of color
What’s wrong when people say they’re “color blind”
The importance of doing this work, even imperfectly (because perfect just isn’t going to happen)
Deciding what kind of legacy we want to leave

330. Triggers: How to identify + work through them with Aaron Rose Jun 04, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

Aaron Rose is the coach that K + L have been working with to help them uncover unconscious biases, be more intentional, and nurture inclusivity. There can be so much information, news, and things we’re seeing daily that can be very triggering right now. We hear that word a lot, trigger, and it’s important for us to unpack what that really means and how we can work against that. It’s okay to be triggered, but there’s something underneath that trigger that needs to be examined. How do we fix these deep-rooted issues that go so far back? Aaron teaches us his method of inner work for dealing with triggers.

We also talk about:

A nuanced understanding of manifestation
Finding the root cause of your feelings and allowing yourself to feel them
Not policing ourselves internally
What triggers are and how to deal with them
How we confirm our reality
Steps to deal with a trigger

329. “Revolution Now” - In Conversation with Rachel Cargle (re-release) Jun 02, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

This week we’re bringing back an interview we had with Rachel Cargle in December of 2018 because it is incredibly relevant to things that are happening in our world today. She has done an amazing job building a platform and resources for people, she raises money for marginalized communities, and she hosts The Great Unlearn on Patreon. We’ve talked about white fragility, white supremacy, allyship, and the issue of race, and these are all things that need to be brought back to the forefront. Rachel is doing so much to show us how to engage with white supremacy, how we as white people play a huge role in the race conversations going on, and how we can be better to support anti-racism. We need to work together against the system that has created this huge rift in society. We have so much power, we need to use that power for good.

We also talk about:

Deciding to start teaching what she was learning
Her college experience
Where to start in order to make a difference
Social media posting being taken down
Rachel answers questions from Almost 30 Nation

326. 6 Tips for Building Confidence May 21, 2020

THE SOLO

Confidence is so key. Yes, we’ve all heard it before, but some things are cliché for a reason. K + L each offer three tried-and-true tips for being more confident, all born from their personal experiences. But remember — confidence is always going to be something personal to you. It doesn’t have to look the same as someone else, and it doesn’t even have to look like sunshine and rainbows. Confidence is something you work on getting closer to, and you never quite get there fully, but it’s so worth working towards all the same.

We also talk about:

Working towards confidence
Facing hard things
Finding quiet to hear our own voices
Channeled writing
Appreciating your body
Engaging in self-care
Looking back on your progress

322. Community Call #1: Finding Confidence in Community May 07, 2020

THE SOLO

K + L have been wanting to connect with the community two-on-one for a while and are so excited to finally share the first of many conversations in their new series, “Community Call”! We’ve been wanting to hear from YOU - Almost 30 nation - and how you’ve been impacted by the show, taken the messages shared by guests or other members of the community, and have made serious, positive changes in your life. Joining them this week is Emily Feikls, who first discovered the podcast when she was 18 and struggling with finding like-minded friends in her rural town. At the time, Emily felt like an outsider, like she didn’t belong to any community — but she felt an instant connection to #ALMOST30NATION as soon as she found it. She then took small steps to take control of her life and live in her truth - including attending last year’s retreat and starting her very own podcast and community. Emily is an inspiration, modeling for all of us how you can alchemize pain + grief into a beautiful life that you love.

We also talk about:

How an 18-year old gets into Almost 30
Feeling like an outsider in your geographical community

320. 3 Practices to Build Self-Trust Apr 30, 2020

THE SOLO

Trust is so, so important in any healthy relationship — that’s obvious, right? It shouldn’t be any different when it comes to ourselves. Trusting yourself and the way you live your life is transformational. We all reach a moment where it’s time to break up with this expectation — whether from our parents or someone else — of how our life was supposed to go and to trust ourselves to live life the way we want. Lindsey shares her experience making the transition from not trusting herself to a more consistent and confident level of trust and the three practices she follows to help build that self trust every day.

We also talk about:

The experiences that damaged Lindsey’s self trust

319. Ramit Sethi on Elevating Your Wealth Consciousness Apr 28, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

Ramit Sethi’s book, I Will Teach You To Be Rich, is an absolute game-changer in the finance world. He is charismatic, grounded, and relatable — not to mention one of the most progressive voices in the financial literacy and wellness space. He does not sugar coat things, and when it comes to finances and getting really good at managing them, you have to be real about it. He infamously pushes back against the tired advice of “cutting out lattes” in order to save money. Instead, Ramit focuses on indulging in the things you actually care about and noticing when you spend money on things you don’t really care about.

We also talk about:

How to get over making excuses when it comes to finances
The connection between human behavior and finance
Getting your finances together in your 20’s
Creating money rules around “yes” instead of “no”

318. The Journey of Body Acceptance Apr 23, 2020

THE SOLO

Instagram loves to kindly remind us of photos we’ve taken in the past, which can be great! But it can also invite us to criticize and compare ourselves. When this happened to Krista, what she noticed so clearly was the ways in which her body has changed over the past few years — namely, weight gain.

A few months ago, Krista was in New York City reflecting on the habits and mentalities around her body and how she has shifted away from the behaviors that kept her at the lowest weight she’s ever been. She has been learning how to live with her new body and wanted to share how she deals with body image issues, how her relationship with her body has changed over time, and some tips and resources regarding health and diet.

We also talk about:

How being okay with your body is an act of defiance
Mindset is the problem, not body
The energy we waste worrying about our bodies
Motivating yourself to do what you know is healthy
Answering your questions about body acceptance
Not letting the patriarchy win

Ep. 311 - Julie Nguyen on Healing Dis-ease With Food Mar 31, 2020

CATCH UP WITH K + L

Even though the state of the world is uneasy right now, people are supporting people in such a beautiful way — and K+L want to celebrate that! Remember, all of the things that are happening in the world right now will pass as we step into our light. If you need some support in these times, you can find a community of super supportive women in the secret Almost 30 Facebook groups.

THE INTERVIEW

Julie Nguyen lived the first 30 years of her life believing that her health problems were chronic and incurable. When she realized that changing her diet improved her mood, her eczema, her weight, and her happiness, she had to share that life-changing info with others. But she ran into a roadblock: healthy food has a branding problem, and the bland food churned out by the ‘health food’ industry isn’t doing anything to help it. Julie devoted her life to making healthy, tasty food and nutrition education more accessible through Methodology, an innovative company that delivers fresh, chef-curated food to your door. Not all heroes wear capes, and not all medicine comes in capsules.

We are so glad to have author, filmmaker, health and science journalist Max Lugavere back on the show! Max’s new book, The Genius Life, is all about providing actionable research that anyone can use to start feeling stronger, happier, and healthier immediately.

THE SOLO

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been overwhelmed. 🙌 At some point or another it’s a feeling we’ve all had to uncomfortably confront — you’re not alone. In today’s solo episode with Lindsey, she shares how she has dealt with the feeling of overwhelm head on. Although it is tempting to avoid, Lindsey has learned to embrace the feeling because it is one of the most powerful opportunities for growth that the Universe gives us. When we’re open to understanding how and why it happens, we can harness that energy and turn it into something incredible.

Lindsey has been feeling this ebb and flow of overwhelm over the past two years, and with that consistency, she had to ask: What is the purpose of this overwhelm? She shares the answers that came through during a channeled writing session with her higher self, why she avoided overwhelm for so long, and 3 tips for reframing the idea of being overwhelmed.

We also talk about:

Where we learn that overwhelm is bad
How overwhelm is a challenge to our ego + why that’s a gift
Doing the inner work necessary to understand why you are avoiding overwhelm
Increasing your tolerance for overwhelm

Ep. 305 - The Freedom in Forgiving with Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt Mar 10, 2020

THE INTERVIEW

Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt joins us today for a conversation on forgiveness. Her new book, The Gift of Forgiveness, gives readers an opportunity to deeply understand the act of forgiving and how doing so can positively affect everyone involved. But let’s be real: Forgiveness is SO layered. It requires us to be vulnerable, release the ego, and allow change. Katherine’s book speaks to those layers and how we can work out our “forgiveness muscle” daily. Newly married, Katherine gushes about her relationship with Chris Pratt and shares how forgiveness will always play a huge role in their relationship. We are all going to be faced with opportunities to forgive, and Katherine’s hope is that, by reading the inspiring stories of those who were able to forgive in situations you wouldn’t imagine, you will be able to move forward in practicing forgiveness in your life.

We also talk about:

Her book, I Just Graduated… Now What? and why she felt inspired to speak to this formative time
How Katherine got over her fear of sharing details about her life
How forgiveness can be a gift you give yourself
How to ask for help + advice when you need it
The process of finding stories for her book
The physicality of holding on to anger
Times when you don’t have to forgive

K & L have some exciting information to share about the 2020 Almost 30 retreat coming up in May! Last year, 24 women attended the the retreat in Malibu and it was so transformative they had to do it again. They’ve invited their favorite healers, speakers, tarot card readers, astrologists, trainers, and more to support women through this life-changing experience! If you feel like you need four days away in a beautiful Malibu oasis to deeply connect with yourself and other women, this retreat is for YOU!

For more information, you can go to almost30podcast.com/retreat.

THE SOLO

Krista is exploring this one popular concept in today’s episode: authenticity.Catch that gag reflex! Although authenticity has become such a buzz word cliche lately that it doesn’t really mean anything, that’s exactly why it’s worth discussing. K & L were recently asked how they were so authentic during an interview and it gave Krista some pause because it’s not a word that she identifies with. It feels like a word that doesn’t allow you to change. This is why Krista wants to hash out the details of what true authenticity really is, and how we can balance being an authentic human while also allowing ourselves to change and grow.

We also talk about:

Why K hasn’t identified with the term “authentic”
The benefits of authenticity
K’s goals for her future self
How growth and authenticity interplay
Accepting growth as a part of yourself
Being authentic to the person you are at any given time
The expression of the true self

In our conversation, we talk greatly about the differences in the masculine and feminine approaches to healing.

He explains his structure for checking in with your partner on how each of you is doing, and Krista and Justin share how they implement this practice. We wrap up the conversation with insightful books, and Heath reveals the key to a successful self-care ritual.

Ep. 276 - Digital Minimalism +The Importance of Deep Work with Cal Newport Nov 28, 2019

CATCH UP WITH K + L

Is it a negative sign to feel pain after the chiropractor? Or could it be locked up emotions that need to be released? Krista is looking for your feedback! K + L also share a personal anecdote from an Almost 30 listener. This sparks a conversation around the power of micro impacts and how messages come to us at the right time.

THE INTERVIEW

Buckle up for today’s episode with Georgetown University professor and New York Times bestselling author, Cal Newport! Cal has written six books, including Digital Minimalism, Deep Work, and So Good They Can’t Ignore You. Today, we are scratching the surface of these incredibly powerful and insightful reads.

Are you searching for an answer as to why we compulsively look at our phones? Cal reveals the role Facebook and social approval indicators have played in our increased usage. We talk about how phones keep us from feeling boredom and loneliness, and why feeling boredom is actually beneficial. When it comes to the concept of ‘deep work,’ Cal explains why it is a valuable yet rare skill, and how practicing it will allow you to produce higher quality work at a faster rate. He explains factors that affect our ability to do deep work, and we discuss how being unavailable due to an appointment is more socially acceptable than taking deep work time. We then ask Cal why “follow your passion” is actually bad advice, and he shares how passion is something you cultivate over time, which leads to fulfillment and success in your career.

You’ll learn daily hacks for minimizing the time on your phone, and a strategy for families that want to use phones as a tool versus a constant companion. Cal emphasizes being intentional about what you use, why you use it, and how you use it. Let’s go!

We also talk about:

Why ‘focusing’ takes practice
How deep work reduces the phenomenon “attention residue”
The effect of A.I. on deep work
How servicing communications affect our anxiety levels
The positives and negatives of “Screen Time”

Today we are vibin’ so high with this powerful and impactful episode. It resonates so deeply with us; we can’t wait to share it with you. Our guest, Aaron Rose, is a conscious culture and life design coach, and motivational speaker. We recently started working with him to expand our knowledge on being conscious leaders.

Today Aaron joins us to illustrate his journey of growth, and how he began living his truth after growing up in a religious household that limited self-expression. For example, Aaron talks about the family newspaper he started to advocate for himself due to the discord he felt toward their religion’s lack of acceptance. He shares his coming out process, the painful conversations of trying to explain himself to his family, and how his relationship has evolved with them over the years. We then ask what it means to be ‘real’ on Instagram, and love Aaron’s answer about searching for our relatable brilliance versus flaws.

CATCH UP WITH K + L

We’ve admired him from afar for so long, and in meeting this sweet being we were confirmed in our admiration for his authenticity, humor, thoughtfulness, and ability to truly see people and make them feel special by way of the deepest conversations.

In our conversation today, we start by discussing music, concerts and releasing energy such as anger. Jedidiah then begins sharing his story, and paints a picture of his journey in writing his book. From his experience with imposter syndrome to meeting one of his favorites, Cheryl Strayed, and how she came to write a blurb for his book—he has us laughing the whole time. Jedidiah talks about his relationship with his parents after coming out, and shares how he’s never felt shame around his sexuality, even after growing up in an Evangelical Christian household. He also shares how he’s cultivated deep friendships, and how he fosters those relationships and builds community. We have been long awaiting this conversation, and can’t wait to share it with you!

We also talk about:

Societies view of the body as carnal and animalistic
A mixing board as a metaphor for human life
Jedidiah’s deep dive into Christianity
The repression of sexuality impacting other aspects of life

Ep. 255 - Brittany Piper on Life After Sexual Assault + Healing a Broken System Sep 17, 2019

If you’ve experienced sexual assault or some form of trauma, may today’s guest inspire you with her powerful story of resilience and hope. Brittany Piper is a sexual assault survivor who has taken her pain and turned it into purpose. She is a motivational speaker, sexual violence prevention expert, and healing coach who helps others transform their pain and believe in second chances.

Our conversation begins with Brittany recounting her story (this may be triggering for some). This leads into how sexual assault has been normalized by the sensationalization of it, and the sheer lack of sex education in the United States. Brittany explains the science behind why trauma survivors have lapses in memory, and physical ways trauma manifests in the body. She details her experience with learning to love herself again after being so disconnected, and shares thoughtful, grounding questions you can use to help heal your own trauma. We know you’ll be touched by her story, and the work she now does to make a difference in trauma survivors’ lives.

We also talk about:

Sex education in the U.S. & abroad
Media attention focused on attractiveness
The role race plays in sentencing
Tonic immobility & disassociation
Brittany’s modes of healing
Reintegration as a foundation of healing
The healing curriculum Brittany is building for women
Putting resources into those who are incarcerated
Brittany’s female healing retreats

Ep. 247 - Jane Wurwand on Playing the Long Game, Never Shrinking + Leading with Purpose Aug 20, 2019

Today we are sitting down with skin therapist and co-founder of Dermalogica, Jane Wurwand! At the age of 24, Jane, an immigrant from the United Kingdom, recognized the lack of training in continuing skin therapy education in the United States.

Dermalogica was born alongside IDM to provide quality skin care that was effective and free of irritants. It is now the #1 professional skin care brand in the world.

Our conversation with Jane is motivating and inspirational, regardless of whether or not you’re a female entrepreneur. Her wisdom as it relates to trusting your inner truth and never doubting or shrinking yourself is GOLD. Jane shares her knowledge on creating a company culture, the importance of knowing your values, and building a community around your brand. Her passion and devotion for changing the conversation around labels and the idea of beauty is so refreshing. Jane also gives recommendations and tips for taking care of your skin. You don’t want to miss it!

Ep. 235 - Sheri Salata on ‘The Beautiful No’ and What It Means To Truly Live Jul 09, 2019

Today’s conversation highlights how the heartbreaking “no’s” we receive in life can take us in a better and more meaningful direction. Our guest is Sheri Salata, whose humor and wild spirit is infectious. After a twenty year career as the Executive Producer of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Sheri is now the author of The Beautiful No, co-host of The Sheri + Nancy Show, and co-founder of thepillarlife.com.

Our conversation begins with an emotional recounting of when Sheri’s brother passed away suddenly from a heart attack nine years ago. For years, she avoided processing her grief by immersing herself in work and caring for family. She shares the ways she was able to move through her grief by deepening her spirituality and making self-care a top priority every single day.

Sheri’s humor and honesty as she reflects on every single job she’s had, how each one has made her who she is today as an entrepreneur, and how the No’s ultimately gave her everything she needed to succeed, one lesson at a time. From managing a convenience store and a toy store, to working as a secretary. Sheri has started over and felt lost countless times, but kept searching for something to fill her with meaning. At age 35, she landed an entry level job at The Oprah Winfrey Show, and finally found what she was searching for—purpose.

We also talk about:

Using gratitude for your growth
Importance of dreaming and creating
Uplifting others, seeing their potential and verbalizing it
Being choosy about who you share your space with
Cherishing our bodies in a deliberate way
Sheri’s decision to have a plant-based diet

Ep. 234 - The Intimacy of Motherhood, Ancestral Healing, + Living Authentically with Peta Kelly Jul 04, 2019

Today we are sitting down with author, mother, and one of our favorite humans, Peta Kelly. Let us give you a few reasons why we love this woman so much: 1) Peta holds family as one of her greatest values 2) She is funny as hell 3) She walks the talk 4) She has taught us how to have hard conversations 4) She is constantly evolving without needing anything from anyone. The list continues to grow—especially after today’s interview.

Since becoming a mom, she has really focused on the intimacy of motherhood, and shares the outside fears pushed on her during pregnancy, and the trust she maintained within herself. Peta explains what ancestral healing is and the work she does to help heal the painful experiences of her family’s past, like having open conversations with her husband.

While in her twenties, Peta focused on soul growth, while working hard as an entrepreneur to set herself up financially before moving into motherhood. We discuss how she’s evolved spiritually since then, since writing her book, Earth is Hiring, and how her self-care rituals, such as stepping off of social media and Cacao ceremonies, have changed since becoming a mom. We could talk to our girl all day, but we hope this conversation will fill you up for a while—self-expression, personal growth, and relationships—LET’S GO!

We also talk about:

Peta’s preparation & rituals for her home birth
Relationships with plant medicine
Importance of trust in soul growth
The masculine & feminine in relationships

Ep. 233 - From Homeless Heroin Addict to Millionaire: Khalil Rafati on Addiction, Forgiveness + The Definition of Success Jul 02, 2019

If you’ve ever struggled with substance abuse, or are the loved one of someone with addiction problems, today’s transformational episode is for you. We are joined with Khalil Rafati, author of I Forgot to Die, owner of SunLife Organics, and founder of the transitional living facility, Riviera Recovery.

The son of immigrants, Khalil describes his childhood, especially school, as riddled with racism and bullying. At home, he dealt with violence, neglect, and sexual abuse, which triggered decades of self-hatred. Khalil found alcohol and marijuana at a young age, eventually dropped out of high-school, and found himself in a downward spiral of heroin and cocaine abuse.

At 33 years old and 109 pounds, living on Skid Row in Los Angeles, he decided to get sober. He takes us back to the moment that he chose life over death and we get an in depth, raw look at his journey to overcome addiction.Khalil also shares his thoughts on money’s role in happiness,his relationship with God, and his love of crystals.

Be on the lookout for his second book (working title of Remembering to Live) and upcoming documentary, as well as SunLife Organics smoothie/juice bars opening near you!

Ep. 232 - Ayana Young on Climate Change + How We Can Reconnect with and Save Mother Earth Jun 27, 2019

Our relationship with Mother Earth, and the need for even the smallest of actions to protect her, is our focus in today’s podcast with Ayana Young. She is the founder of the nonprofit For The Wild which now encompasses the 1 Million Redwoods reforestation project, For the Wild podcast, and a new spinoff series birthed from a preservation campaign around the Tongass National Forest. Ayana’s journey as an advocate and protector of our Earth began when she was studying Ecology at Columbia University. She eventually dropped out to become a full time political organizer. She intertwined the environmental concerns with the “Occupy Wall Street” movement to bring awareness to the decline of our planet’s health.

Ayana’s passion comes through as she illustrates how we are connected to everything; our modern lives are directly related to taking resources from the planet and not reciprocating. She explains the detriments of logging and building dams and howgold mining has created genocide in the west by producing high volumes of waste water. She urges us to invest in our local communities, and to educate ourselves and become more aware of climate change even when it’s overwhelming and heartbreaking. Ayana shares how she recommits herself to the Earth every day, and how each of us can reestablish that connection.

We also talk about:

The politics behind forest fires
What organic really means
Funding of scientific studies
The extinction of animals
Being a steward of the earth

Ep. 231 - Dr. Jen Esquer on Overcoming Infidelity + Reconnecting to Your Body + Intuition Jun 25, 2019

This episode if for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from their body and intuition, for anyone navigating life after betrayal and for anyone wanting to forgive others and themselves. This is an intimate conversation on relationships, trust, listening to your physical and emotional bodies. Joining us is physical therapist Dr. Jen Esquer, founder of the The Mobility Method, known for relieving pain, preventing injury, and optimizing movement. Jen is all about affecting change in the body through education, movement, and building appreciation for what our unique bodies are capable of doing.

But we are honored to have Jen talk about more than mobility today. She opens up about her past relationship ending in infidelity, the way she handled the heartbreak, and how connected she became to her inner knowing. It really struck a chord with us when she discusses the importance of having friends that can hold a safe space, without judgment, to release the spectrum of emotions that may arise. We unpack the benefits of breathwork and the effect it can have on your parasympathetic nervous system. For example, it allows one to release emotions so they don’t stay trapped. Jen gives a generous tool box if we ever lose ourselves in someone or a situation and want to reconnect with who we really are.

We also talk about:

Knowing when to leave and when to work on a relationship
How our triggers may affect other people
Finding forgiveness for yourself
Expectations versus reality (when someone shows you who they are, believe them!)
Understanding pain, mobility, and breath

Today we are joined by Lauren Scruggs Kennedy, a business woman, NY Times Best-Selling Author, activist and blogger. Lauren’s story is one of extreme determination and growth after a tragic accident.

The foundation provides beautiful cosmetic coverings for prostheses. In our conversation today, Lauren shares her personal journey with us all, the work she’s doing to help other women living with limb loss, and how her parent’s relationship influenced all of her future relationships.

Ep. 218 - The Science of Ayahuasca + Processing Trauma with Dr. Jeff McNairy May 09, 2019

Today we have Dr. Jeff McNairy from Rythmia joining us on the podcast. Dr. McNairy is bridging the gap between ancient modalities and western psychology through plant medicine practices. Dr. McNairy has worked in a variety of medical environments and seen the struggle individuals have when actually trying to heal. Through Dr. McNairy’s intense experience with the most desperate patient populations (addiction, acute mental health, and trauma), he has seen that the only real healing can come from within. In this conversation, recorded in Costa Rica at Rythmia, Dr. McNairy shares the medical perspective on what is happening in our brains and bodies while taking plant medicine, what about the medicine is creating the reprogramming, and his own personal journey of connecting with Gerard Powell and joining the team at Rythmia.

We also talk about:

Jeff’s work at Passages Malibu
Why we face our traumas while taking plant medicine
Purging and why that happens
How to dose ayahuasca
The research aspects of plant medicine

Ep. 211 - The LA Foster Care System, Social Work + How We Can Help Apr 16, 2019

We are so grateful for today’s episode and today’s guest, sharing her story and providing an inside look at what it’s like to be a social worker in the foster care system today. On a previous episode, we had mentioned how we’d like to be educated more on the foster care system, and an incredible member of #almost30nation reached out to share her story. This conversation today is emotional, insightful, and is sure to offer you a clearer picture of the field of social work and the world foster kids live in today.

Words from our guest:

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working and residing in Los Angeles County. I work with children, teenagers, and families with severe histories of trauma and mental illness. The children and families I work with are a part of the LA County foster care system. I support my clients by helping them process their trauma, empowering them to reach their full potential, advocating for their needs, navigating the foster care system, and guiding them through the roller coaster journey they are on. I have never met more resilient people than my clients, and they inspire me to do this challenging work and be the best version of myself day in and day out.

I am originally from the Bay Area and moved to the East Coast to complete my Master of Social Work (MSW) program at New York University. About 5 years ago, I moved to Los Angeles and began working within the LA County Department of Mental Health and Department of Children and Family Services. I was working with a 13 yr old female client who was very suicidal. I was going to her home 3-4 times weekly for therapy sessions to ensure she was safe, had someone to talk to, and could work through her suicidal thoughts. As our time was coming to an end, we wrote each other letters as part of our termination and goodbye process. In her letter to me she wrote, "thank you for letting me realize that life is worth living" THIS is the reason I do what I do.

Helping one person might not change the whole world, but it can change the world for one person. Honestly, that is what motivates me day in and day in. That is what I find so rewarding about my job. I know I am not going to “save” all my clients. I know some will fall through the cracks. But I also know that if I can make an impact on just one child, that I am helping change the world for that one person.

Statistics (from CASA organization):

Foster youth in LA is 30,000

33% of California’s foster youth currently reside in LA County

73% of foster youth have spent two or more years in the system

38% of youth have had five or more foster care placements

Less than 50% of foster youth graduate from high school and only 3% graduate from college

33% of girls in foster care become pregnant at least once by age 17

25% of youth aging out of foster care will be incarcerated within two years

At age 19, 60% of former foster youth are unemployed

27% of the homeless population spent time in foster care

Only 3% graduate from college

Half of all young adults who age out of foster care end up homeless or incarcerated.

75% of young women in foster care report at least one pregnancy by age 21

Ep. 205 - Pregnancy + Postpartum: Optimizing Nutrition and Harnessing Your Power with Daniela Kende Mar 26, 2019

Daniela Kende, holistic health coach and natural birthing expert, joins us on today’s episode. Daniela runs her coaching programs on the foundation that no one knows your body better than you do– how refreshing is that? She asks her clients to set aside their self-judgements, and give themselves permission to rebel against the rules of the popular “diets” out there. Daniela believes that by strengthening your intuition, you will begin to actually hear what your body needs. In today’s conversation, we go deep into nutrition while pregnant and trying to get pregnant– what to eat, what to pay attention to, and ultimately figuring out what works best for you. Daniela also shares her own personal pregnancy journey, her labor story, what it’s been like since her daughter was born, and the conversation around having a natural birth at a hospital.

We also talk about…

Taking herbs during pregnancy
Morning sickness
What a doula is, and why Daniela decided to use one
The different trimesters in pregnancy
Other lifestyle changes and adaptations that she made while pregnant
The benefits of delayed cord clamping + ingesting the placenta
The effect on the pelvic floor
Being a part of the motherhood community
Daniela’s advice for moms and mom’s to be

Ep. 193 - Breaking the Holding Pattern with Lindsey Simcik Feb 12, 2019

We are back at it with another solo episode from Lindsey! Today, Lindsey is shining a light on something she is working on in real time. Sparked by her recent energy healing session with Milliana Snow (episode 103), this episode explores “holding patterns”. Lindsey speaks to where she thinks this patterning started, the areas of her life that tend to get stuck in a loop, and the ways that she’s been able to break free of them. From relationships, career, family to health, and of course, her personal relationship with herself, this conversation covers it all in hopes that you can relate.

Lindsey also talks about…

Being born with an intuitive feeling + how that changed
Stuck in the side-gig holding pattern
The holding pattern of romantic relationships + how therapy is helping break this
How the drinking culture is affecting holding patterns
Being stuck in the creative holding pattern
Ways she recognizes her patterns

Ep. 173 - Creating An Allyship + Feminism for All with Rachel Cargle Dec 06, 2018

Today we are joined by Rachel Cargle; activist, writer, and lecturer. Her activist and academic works are rooted in providing intellectual discourse, tools, and resources that explore the intersection of race and womanhood. Rachel also created an organization called The Loveland Group, which houses multiple companies dedicated to lifelong culture, learning, and opportunity. Rachel was in town from NYC, so the girls hopped on the opportunity to spend time with Rachel in person. She is leading the movement on some incredibly issues plaguing our society. In today’s episode, we talk about what it was like for Rachel growing up in a predominantly white community, socioeconomic differences between races, and using her platform to create accessible educational lectures. Rachel shares her view on the feminist movement, how the health and wellness space reacts to her, and the way that the welfare system works. We hope this conversation inspires you to have conversations within your community, friend groups, and families—conversations that might not be comfortable but conversations that could, ultimately, change history.

Ep. 166 - ‘She’s All Fat Podcast’: Finding Your Way To Body Positivity + Social Change with April K. Quioh and Sophia Carter-Kahn Nov 13, 2018

Sophia Carter-Kahn and April K. Quioh, the voices behind the She’s All Fat podcast, join us for an open and honest conversation about varying opinions and their experience in building a body positive podcast. Both April and Sophia have backgrounds in writing, and that’s how the two initially met! We chat about why they decided to create a podcast, and how they picked the name, She’s All Fat, plus we get into their favorites topics to cover on their show. Sophia and April also share their own personal journey towards self-love, and how the road to loving their own bodies and self acceptance—it hasn’t always been linear. The girls all laugh over the ways they take a break to digest all of the (at times heartbreaking) media, mainly in the forms of binge-watching new television series. In our conversation we go deep into how words like “fat” and “skinny” are neutral, and how we need to change the way that these topics are approached, especially in today’s social media-driven culture.

We also talk about…

Influence from our parents + how that affects us as we grow
Comments + backlash
How having a podcast has become therapeutic
The importance of having a therapist
April + Sophia’s life outside of their podcast
Where they go to stay educated
What’s to come for She’s All Fat

The founders of Your Super, Michael Kuech and Kristel DeGroot, join us today for their first ever podcast interview. Your Super is a superfood company focused on the health benefits of the superfood ingredients used. Their inspiring story began after Michael was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 24.

In our conversation, we talk about the highs and lows of running a company as a couple, bringing spirituality into the workplace, eating plant-based as an athlete, plus the different superfoods they use in their products and what they do for your body. We even get into how the two practice self care outside of the workplace, and how they handle the life/business balance.

The products Kristel and Michael have created are not only delicious, but they are made of quality ingredients that are properly sourced.

Ep. 161 - Vulnerability + Female Empowerment in Comedy with Iliza Shlesinger Oct 30, 2018

We have been big fans of Iliza Shlesinger for-ev-er. Her ability to find humor to connect people around important topics, to stay relevant and inclusive, and to make audiences laugh show after show, is so inspiring. Iliza has been a comedian for over a decade now, but since winning Season 6 of Last Comic Standing, she has truly been unstoppable and ever-evolving. With four Netflix comedy specials, a co-star in her first movie out next year, her 5th special on the horizon, and material that is vulnerable, empowering, and hilarious, Iliza is making people laugh and think. . We talk about what it’s like to be recognized in public, positive and negative feedback from society, and what it’s like to be a powerhouse woman in comedy. With Iliza working on a new movie, we also take a minute to laugh over our fake Boston accents!

It’s so refreshing to watch Iliza perform. Whether she’s in character as a gazelle or herself, there is truth in both. You can tell she has been herself since day one. Iliza is playful, unbelievably smart, and has worked hard on her way to the top.

We also talk about…

Letting comments and remarks go
The #metoo movement
Iliza’s evolution as a comic
Creating and preparing for her special, Elder Millennial

Ep. 160 - Compatibility, Your Saturn Return + The Other Retrogrades with Aliza Kelly Oct 25, 2018

We are taking a look into the cosmos today with astrologer, Aliza Kelly! At times, astrology can be confusing, but Aliza’s super down to Earth approach makes astrology so much easier to digest and understand. Aliza serves as the in-house astrologer and occult story columnist for Allure Magazine, as well as creating the moneyscopes for Cheddar.com. She shares with us how her uncle peaked her interest in the world of astrology, but how she didn’t fully immerse herself in the world until many years later, when she created a dating app rooted in astrological compatibility. In our conversation, we talk all about eclipses, retrogrades, and saturn returns - oh my! We also quickly discover the ties that the planetary alignment has with the political atmosphere, relationships, and how we can all use astrology as a window to take a look into the future. Listen up as Aliza gives a glimpse into each planet to helps us all understand our own sign, and why we have the characteristics that we do. The Mixology of Astrology, Aliza’s new book, just came out - be sure to grab a copy to better understand how astrology can be used in all aspects of your life, even down to the happy hour drink you sip on!

We also talk about...

Eclipses: how they differ + what they mean

Ep. 159 - The Abstinence Myth: Breaking The Stigma Around Addiction, Rebuilding Relationships, and Living An IGNTD Life with Dr. Adi Jaffe Oct 23, 2018

This conversation with Adi was so refreshing, and totally necessary given today’s climate. He is very clear with his points, his intentions, and his message surrounding drugs and addiction. Adi Jaffe, PhD, is a research psychologist, addiction specialist, and founder of IGNTD - Igniting Lives Beyond Limits. A nationally recognized speaker and expert on mental health and stigma, he has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, Good Morning America, CNN and more. His Tedx Talk on shame has been seen by nearly 500,000 people. Adi’s approach to addiction is so incredible, as he lifts the shame around it to make it more suitable for progression and healing, offering grace in a conversation that tends to have none.

Adi’s own story is beautiful, and we appreciate his openness and honesty in sharing it with us all. We take a deep dive into who Adi was before he met Sophie — from selling ecstasy, to struggling with depression, to beginning to experiment with harder drugs, like meth. We hear the differences between the drugs he took, and how with each step he took, the harder it was to break free from the addiction. Adi also shares the reality of trying to rebuild a life after addiction and a criminal record, and the beginning stages of his relationship with Sophie. It is truly their differences that make the relationship strong, balanced, and beautiful. Adi tells us all about his brand new book, The Abstinence Myth, and what sparked this incredible take on the connection between abstinence and addiction.

We also talk about...

Adi’s motivation to get clean
What he learned in jail
The 4 factors of addiction
Conversations around shame + how to have them
Reframing the idea of an addict
An IGNTD success story

Ep. 158 - Eat Feel Fresh: Tri-Doshic Eating + Lifestyle Ayurveda for Everyday with Sahara Rose Oct 18, 2018

We are hanging with our soul sister, the funny + beautiful, Sahara Rose. Everyone in our Secret Facebook group can’t stop talking about our first ever episode with Sahara, over a year ago. With her new GORGEOUS cookbook, Eat Feel Fresh, being released, we knew we had to have her back on. Sahara created this cookbook as a way to bring the beauty of Ayurveda to modern times in easy, accessible recipes that are sure to help you live more aligned with your doshas.

In the episode, you’ll get a run down of the 3 doshas (for a deeper look, listen to our first episode with Sahara), how she brought India to life in the pages of her new cookbook, and why it was important to her to work with local photographers for this project. We all had a good laugh over how Vata Lindsey is, and how Pitta Krista is - but Krista with those beautiful Kapha cheeks and Lindsey spending time on the toilet like a true Pitta, we dive into possible combos! PLUS the why behind the recipes Sahara chose to put in her cookbook. We also dish on dosha’s! Sahara shares why she knew she wanted to be with a Pitta guy, and how her dating experience with a Kapha helped her come to that realization. The two of us just couldn’t love this girl any more.

We also discuss...

Ep. 157 - Overcoming Grief + Loss by Connecting to Spirit with Medium Tim Braun Oct 16, 2018

Recent discussions in our Secret Facebook group inspired today’s episode. So many of you have turned to the group for guidance and advice surrounding the pain of grief and loss. How do we cope? Does it get easier? When our loved one’s pass, where do they go and how do they feel? Tim Braun is a world-renowned medium who has performed over 15,000 individual sittings across two decades, and has become the medium people connect with to heal in the wake of losing a loved one or immense loss.

Tim is so kind, funny, and intentional. He does not filter what comes through from the other side. His gift is to bring forth the messages from loved ones passed to those still in the physical world. Lindsey has been sitting with Tim once a year for about three years. Each time, she experiences deep healing in connecting with her loved ones and friends who have passed. Often times they have messages for her about what is currently happening in her life, which is immensely comforting and affirming that they are with us always.

We discuss…

Lindsey and Krista’s reading with Tim
Healthy ego + staying within our humbleness
When Tim realized he had his gift + how he learned to use it
Tim’s aspirations to be a talk show host
Getting some answers about aliens, psychics, and more
Tim’s skepticism

Grief, loss, and how to cope
Everyone has intuition!!

A list that lit him up and helped him to get to know himself better, to know what truly made him happy. .Once the world caught on to Sebastian’s magnetic adventure, he started to ask others, #WhatsOnYourList? His book, TV series, and talks around the world are inspiring people to shake off what people think they should do, and follow what makes them truly happy.

He’s also launching a new project designed to bring more happiness into the world, Kindsum, which you can think of as a TaskRabbit for kindness. He’s so incredibly genuine and fun, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to share his story, his mission, and his big heart.

And if you want to talk about what’s on your list and how #ALMOST30NATION can add more kindness to the world, head over to Facebook and join our Secret Facebook Group.

In this episode, we talk about…

What high schoolers and middle schoolers think of 100 Things
Swimming with a shark, doing a handstand, marrying a stranger, and other incredible things on Seb’s list
How the list grew into a community
Getting caught up in what you “should” do
The synchronicities that have occurred while pursuing his list
Getting offered a book deal
Seb’s feature on ESPN
Why helping someone run a half marathon has been one of the most meaningful experiences of Seb’s life

Ep. 153 - Defying Travel Stereotypes with Nomadness Founder Evita Robinson Oct 02, 2018

#Almost30nation! Hello friends! Excited to introduce you to this week’s guest. Evita Robinson founded the NOMADNESS Travel Tribe, a first-of-its-kind movement bringing together and representing the underrepresented in mainstream travel. Their mission is to show the world that travel has no racial, gender, religious, economic, or interest limitations through community representation and relevancy (like the $50,000,000 being injected into the travel industry every year).

In today’s political climate, it’s more important than ever to get out and travel, meet different people, and immerse yourself in diverse cultures. It allows us to gain perspective and see ourselves as just a part of humanity; something to keep you modest, keep you grounded, and keep you connected to what’s REAL! We love the way Evita embodies this, and we know you are all going to love her.

We discuss…

A stark view of how people of color are underrepresented in the travel industry
The highs and lows of NOMADNESS’ group travel events (but mostly highs)
How NOMADNESS came to be
Reverse culture shock: when home feels like a foreign country
How Evita approaches building a community
Navigating a new challenge + stepping into your light
How social media changed travel
Evita’s relationship with spirituality
The Airbnb experience for people of color + partnering with Airbnb
Why you need people of color in your marketing teams + HR
Creating safe + sacred spaces
What’s next for NOMADNESS: the first U.S. festival for travelers of color!

Dan was so incredibly authentic, honest, and open during this conversation, and we are so happy to have explored some topics that we’ve never had the opportunity to cover in our show.

Ep. 150 - Turning a 401k into Rosé: The Wild Story of Founding Bev & Creating a Brand Dedicated to Female Empowerment with Alix Peabody Sep 20, 2018

Alix Peabody founded Bev, the rosé “made by chicks” and drank by, well, anyone who enjoys a tasty rosé wine!

We admire the way that Alix walks the walk and talks the talk, nurturing Bev into not just a beverage company but also a mission-driven brand dedicated to female empowerment. Her story is wild, and she’s been a mentor to us over the past few crazy months. She’s helping us grow and spread our wings – and we know she’ll be an expander for you too!

We discuss…

The Bev mission statement
Going on destination first dates (like Hawaii with a guy you’ve never met before)
How the male-dominated social scene in college led Alix down the path to starting Bev
Experiencing ovarian torsion
Creating the first bar designed with women in mind
Investing her 401k into rosé
Finding a wine supplier on Hinge
Attending four high schools in three countries
The loophole that allows Bev to sell wine directly to consumers, without a distributor
What people don’t see in building a business

Ep. 149 - Trans Issues are Cis Issues: Challenging the Gender Binary + Connecting Through Differences with Alok Vaid-Menon Sep 18, 2018

Alok Vaid-Menon is a gender non-conforming performance artist, writer, and educator. Taken from Alok’s own writing “In a world that requires everyone to 'pass' within two discrete categories of 'man' OR 'woman' what would it mean for gender non-conformity to be regarded as beautiful, desirable, legitimate, and worthy?”. They are performing, speaking, and writing from their soul to connect through differences and challenge the archaic social construct that is gender.

Alok is so comfortable in their skin and their glam, and the confidence is infectious! We had a ton of fun chatting with them, soaking in their poetic words – and we know you’re going to leave this episode with a little bit more hope, a little bit more inspiration, and new ways to challenge the current paradigm!

We talk about…

The ins and outs of your passion being your business
Growing up (emotionally repressed) in a small Texas town
Southern “politeness”
Balancing being a strong example for others + being a complex, flawed human
Why it hurts when we turn someone into a metaphor and a symbol
Visibility does not mean safety for women and trans people
Where Alok developed their emotional vocabulary
Gender + shame
Learning not to fear their own gender nonconformity
The psychology of fascism
Why Alok is frustrated by the individualism of self-care
The people who bully us want to be us
Aesthetics as political resistance
Violence against gender non-conforming individuals has escalated over the past few years
What we can all do, every day, to challenge the current paradigm

Ep. 147 - Finding Your True Note: The Emotional + Spiritual Power of Voice with Stewart Pearce Sep 11, 2018

Stewart Pearce is a world-renowned voice coach, an intuitive, and a seer of forty years. He was the highlight of a SoulCycle Legends retreat that Lindsey attended and, after teaching her how to find her true tone, we knew we had to introduce Stewart to all of you..

How many of us have a different voice that answers the phone, that leads meetings, that talks to a partner, that talks to children? Kind of crazy right? As women, we often pitch up to sound more lady-like--yet, disconnected from our belly breath and gut instinct. Your voice is connected to so much more than just your larynx – it’s deeply emotional + spiritual, and today we explore the dynamics of that relationship. We wanted to know what it meant and what it felt like to express from your true tone. Also, as a special treat, Stewart leads us through a beautiful meditation in finding our true note!

We talk about…

Expressing your highest self
Stewart’s ethereal experience with sound
Growing up synaesthetic
Grounding yourself in the human experience
The relationship between exploring your sexual being + the development of your voice
Being a spiritual being having a human experience
How our relationships with the people around us affect our voice
Why we need to meditate
The physicality of your voice
Grounding yourself
Stewart’s relationship with Princess Diana

A few weeks ago, Lindsey + Krista had the pleasure of hosting a live conversation and Q+A with John Wineland, a transformational relationship expert, a spiritual intimacy teacher, and the guest on episode 96 + episode 97 of this show. John led the audience through a conversation about practicing the art of embodiment, intimate communication, and feeling for better relationships and a deeper connection in your love life.

And as always, #ALMOST30NATION was so open and vulnerable with their questions. Questions answered touched on topics like intimacy and dating, the energetic dynamics of a relationship, sex, and so much more. (Of course, we’ll also be chatting all about it in the Secret Facebook Group!)

We discuss…

The 3 layers of sex: physical, emotional, & energetic
Masculine essence + sex
Yogic practices for strengthening your consciousness + turning your body into an invitation for love
Do you have a masculine or feminine energy? Maybe both?
Cultivating both your feminine + your masculine
You can have a conscious one night stand
How to live thriving, energized lives aligned with a deep purpose
Invaluable tools that evoke the best from your partners for years to come

Ep. 141 - Queen of the Bees Carly Stein on Why We Must #SaveTheBees and How Sustainable Beekeeping Improved Her Health and Gave Her Purpose Aug 21, 2018

Carly Stein lives and breathes bees. She is a beekeeper herself, an advocate for saving the bees (and our food supply) through sustainable beekeeping, and the Founder + CEO of Beekeeper’s Naturals.

If you haven’t heard of it yet, Beekeeper’s Naturals is an incredible company with a simple purpose: to bring us the highest quality products from the hive and nurture a greater awareness for saving our bees. Their naturally-sourced superfoods are effective alternatives to some of your typical, chemical-based OTC medicines – and these superfoods have become an important part of Lindsey + Krista’s daily routines as of late, helping them feel their best by leveraging the magic of nature!

Carly’s story also has a way of making you want to keep bees, too! Should we?!?! She’s so smart, so kind, and on a mission to #savethebees. This episode’s conversation includes…

How propolis changed Carly’s life + not being able to find any in Vancouver inspired her to start Beekeeper’s Naturals
Falling in love with beekeeping
The female-driven bee society
Why “organic” honey is actually extremely difficult to produce (even if it’s made on an organic farm)
Why we’re losing a disproportionate number of bees – and why that’s a HUGE problem!
All the bee products: propolis, pollen, honey, and royal jelly
Why Carly washes her face with honey
The benefits of CBD + how BKD created a unique CBD honey
Building up the Beekeeper’s Naturals business
Finding your dream job
The hardest part of running BKN
How you can turn your vision + passion into a business
Learning to ignore the BS stories we tell ourselves that hold us back
How Beekeeper’s Naturals will change the world (and how you can help)

Ep. 135 - Family Constellations: Connecting Your Inner Child to Your Adult Self + Healing Generational Trauma with Marine Sélénée Jul 31, 2018

You may not know it (at least not yet), but your family story might be the one thing holding you back from success.

We can’t change our parents or our family – and we can’t change what’s already happened – but we can change our perception around it. Unresolved traumatic events in your family can hinder how happiness and success flow to us in the present and future. Marine Sélénée is a Family Constellations specialist who is dedicated to bringing peace, love, and respect to families. Krista + Lindsey can attest that Family Constellations will help you break free from any negative painful patterns – and it will be life changing.

After hitting rock bottom at the age of 25, Marine started her own healing journey and discovered the power of Family Constellations firsthand. Now she shares that gift with others, helping people finally bring order back to their lives, make peace with what was, and accept what they did receive and did not receive. We talk about…

Moving from France to the U.S.
Hitting rock bottom at the age of 25 + going through a spiritual awakening
Starving to be be seen, to be heard, and to be recognized
Everyone has a different perception
Why you can’t heal unconscious, underlying problems in your family – you need to unearth them
The little boy or girl inside of you who is just waiting to be seen or heard
Storing trauma in your body + healing it
When a mom or dad might need their kid to take care of them
How to discover what affected you subconsciously
Why parents need to respect their children enough to tell them the truth, even when it’s hard
How you can be impacted by past generations, beyond your mother and father
Practicing acceptance + respect
Do we choose our parents?
Healing ghosts by recognizing them

Ep. 133 - Working with Shadow, The Four Steps to Magnetism & Manifesting Opulence with Lacy Phillips Jul 24, 2018

Last time Lindsey + Krista talked to Lacy Phillips, the creative spirit and Manifestation Advisor behind Free and Native, she taught us how to manifest our dream lives. It was a life-changing conversation and we are all honored by the incredible support that #ALMOST30NATION has offered Lacy since. But we had to have Lacy back on the show because she has come so far since we last spoke to her!

One of Lacy’s gifts (and one of the reasons we love her so much) is that she’s an expander... she’s just so grounded and real, so comforting and inspiring, constantly holding a space for others to realize their own sense of self. We can’t say enough good things about her and we know this episode is going to change lives!

We discuss…

Overcoming whatever is blocking your opulence + abundance
De-conditioning what we’ve learned about money
Closing the portals in your life that don’t serve you
Unblocking your shadow
Filling the void in manifestation education
Understanding the energetics of manifestation
Finding expanders
How to differentiate between a sign and a test
An exercise you can do to tap into your body + practice intuiting
The 4 elements of pure magnetism

Ep. 131 - Suzy Batiz on Radical Resonance, Ayahuasca + Her $300 Milllion Dollar Idea That Is Liberating People Everywhere Jul 17, 2018

This episode has pretty much everything you could want out of a podcast: it’s natural, hilarious, interesting, fun, and with just a little bit of poop. That’s because Krista + Lindsey got to sit down with Suzy Batiz, creator of Poo-Pourri.

After her second bankruptcy at 40, Suzy embarked on a spiritual quest and discovered the lost art of tapping the body for stored creativity and ideas. She grew Poo-Pourri into a $300M+ business using a combination of somatic training, quantum physics, and interpersonal evolutionary processes, which she’s dubbed the Radical Resonance System.

We definitely spend some time talking about the product and what it’s like to be a female founder, but things get a lot deeper than that – there’s even an absolutely incredible ghost story that Lindsey + Krista can not stop sharing at parties!

And if you’ll be near Dallas on Tuesday, September 25th, you can catch Lindsey, Krista, and Suzy LIVE! Click here to get your tickets now!!

This episode includes…

Suzy’s awesome experiences with ayahuasca
Healing the wounds of an abusive and tumultuous childhood
Finding the light to physical and spiritual wellness
Coming up with (and being drawn towards) the idea for Poo-Pourri

Ep. 126 - Breaking Bad Habits + The Science of Being Happy with Loretta Breuning Jun 28, 2018

Almost 30 is all about tools, tricks, and insights that anyone can use to feel happier and more aligned as they navigate the big transitions in their life… but we’ve never really talked about WHY people feel happy. Like what’s going in these mammal brains of ours? So Lindsey + Krista sat down with Loretta Breuning, PhD, a professor, an author, and the Founder of The Inner Mammal Institute. Loretta teaches people how to build power over their mammalian brain chemistry and understand nature’s operating system.

Because if we understand the science of what’s happening when we form habits or feel a certain way, we have the power to manipulate those chemicals, rewire our brains, and ultimately, live a better life. Are you ready to make peace with your inner mammal?

We discuss…

Early brain development
Why it’s so difficult to create new neural pathways in our brains after puberty
Our impulse to want more
Serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, & endorphin
The medical model VS the animal world
Ups + downs being NORMAL
Do animals have memories like we do?
Why the size of your brain directly correlates to the length of childhood (and the animal with the biggest brain)
The amazing miracle of reproduction
Breaking an addictive habit
Getting back to neutral after experiencing trauma
Endorphins + GABA
Every single person being wired for an individual experience (and feeling a little different from the herd)

Ep. 124 - Dreaming as a Spiritual Practice: Manifesting from the Realm of Potential + Possibility with Connie Kaplan Jun 21, 2018

Krista + Lindsey have been dying to talk about dreams forever, so they put the call out there and manifested the lovely Connie Kaplan. Connie is a spiritual mentor who teaches dreaming as a spiritual practice and a unique form of theology, which centers around an understanding of each person’s life purpose.

Connie found her calling after contracting a mysterious virus and spending nearly two years of her life in bed. She slept, and she slept and slept and slept, and she experienced a profound spiritual transformation which altered not only her inner experience of life but her outer expression of life.

We kind of pass dreams off as being silly, crazy, or dumb, but they have a deep meaning and purpose. We spend half of our lives in this unconscious state – there’s so much happening and so much to be learned, if we choose to take control of it and use it as a method to transform. This conversation gets a little out there, but you know us! We talk about…

The illness that changed Connie’s life
How the moon affects our dreams + tracking your dreams according to the lunar cycle
Everyone’s unique dreaming pattern
Dreaming to heal
Collective dreams about 9/11
How dreams allow our subconscious minds to communicate with the collective energies
Heather’s dream pillow
The 13 different types of dreams
Menstruation + dreams
The unique chakra system that Connie received as a download
Doing the subconscious work
Jungian vs Freudian analysis
Using a dream journal

As we approach (and pass) 30, a lot of us are thinking about our plans for conceiving – and, unfortunately, many of us are or will experience fertility issues! Most women assume that they’re fertile and can have a baby tomorrow, if they want to, but until you try to get pregnant or see a fertility expert, you just don't know.

We want our listeners to be fully informed, PERIOD. So we dive into a topic that we believe is not being talked about enough—Fertility! The truths, the myths, and the incredible new options available due to advances in In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) procedures – and that’s why we sat down with our dear friend, Dr. Robert Anderson, a Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist & Founder of the Southern California Center for Reproductive Medicine.

Dr. Anderson is an innovator in the field, running one of the top fertility clinics in the world, and he takes us deep into the process, including the physical, emotional, and financial commitments involved.

We discuss…

People traveling from all over the world for fertility treatment with Dr, Anderson
How much IVF has improved
What a healthy embryo is

On today’s episode, Krista and Lindsey are SO excited to introduce Manisha Thakor- the founder and CEO of MoneyZen Wealth Management and a "Wall Street Journal" expert panelist. She has an MBA from Harvard and possesses a wealth of experience in all things finance. She is regularly in the "New York Times" + "More Magazine" and on CNN + "The Today Show.” The conversation is empowering and eye-opening. The girls also open up about where they are personally struggling in their relationship with money. After all, they can’t be alone!

They discuss...

How this generation is the first to be dealing with unprecedented levels of student debt, and that this financial stress takes up MAJOR mental space and serves as a real distraction.
Women and their changing relationship with finances- becoming primary breadwinners and stepping into our POWER.
Women wanting to use their money to make a stand. For women, it’s not about how much we make, but about how we can make an impact with our finances while still being smart and receiving financial return.
Tips for getting people on the front end of the funnel before even getting into student loan debt! Moreover, ways to climb out of debt once you’re already in the thick of it.
Pursuing certain career paths where you can get loan forgiveness after you have gone through a certain number of years of teaching school in certain kinds of neighborhoods or doing more community oriented work.
Manisha’s definition of what it means to possess financial strength.
Approachable and salient definitions + metaphors for understanding financial terms that may intimidate those of us not in the know. Alternatively, “Male Speak” in finance.
Shutting down your femininity or silencing yourself in “business” or “finance” settings to blend in and be more accepted- and the ways in which “me too” is changing this coping mechanism/default behavior!
Manisha’s recommendation to read The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey.
How the third person in a committed romantic partnership is MONEY. So getting right with that part of your life will help your relationships become infinitely more cohesive!

Ep. 111 - Rethinking Clean, Going Beyond Your Diet with Annie Jackson and Allison Evans - The Women Behind Today’s Top Clean Beauty and Household Brands Apr 19, 2018

In today’s episode, we talk to TWO amazing ladies in the clean home + beauty products space. Allison Evans, of Branch Basics, talks to us all about her journey leading up to partnering up with her aunt (Marilee) and best friend (Kelly) to form Branch Basics, which sells a multi-purpose Concentrate to make cleaning simple, affordable and sustainable. All their products are refillable and can be used for ANY cleaning job. The Concentrate is significantly less expensive than similar single-use products. Annie Jackson, acting COO of Credo Beauty, shares her wide-ranging knowledge about the beauty industry (both conventional and natural). Between Credo’s brands, the leadership, and their consumers, there is a common thread: transparency. Credo promises INTEGRITY. They will never carry products with known harmful ingredients and they only stock brands that never test on animals. Both Allison and Annie share SO much amazing information on why you should buy CLEAN and vote with your dollar.

How much perseverance + trial and error went into coming up with the PERFECT all purpose cleaner.

The importance of educating the masses on why they ought to purchase safer cleaning products. The keys to a healthier life are AWARENESS + BRAND TRANSPARENCY.
Annie Jackson’s employment history in the beauty industry, beginning with Estée Lauder + Sephora!
Annie’s transition out of conventional beauty and into cleaner beauty options.
The challenge of getting consumers to ditch their beloved skincare products for the ones you’re selling (even if yours ARE cleaner, safer, + better).
Misconceptions about natural, safe beauty products.
How Credo Beauty hires estheticians and make up artists to work in house and assist clients personally.
Moving away from the feeling of GUILT for the past use of “unhealthy” beauty products, and just making the best possible choices going forward.

Ep 107. New and Full Moons + Tapping into the Power of Your Astrological Sign with Spirit Daughter, Jill Wintersteen Apr 03, 2018

Today we welcome Jill Wintersteen to the Almost 30 pod! She is the woman behind the quickly growing Venice based brand, Spirit Daughter. She was introduced to astrology and yoga as a teenager, but at first, Jill followed a more traditional path to become a neuroscientist.

This relocation brought her to her calling and she began a practice of “helping others to find grounding, peace, and their true path.” On today’s episode, we discuss Jill’s business, Spirit Daughter, where you can purchase Moon Workbooks, Crystals by Season, and Dreamcatchers. This conversation is centered around Jill’s personal and professional background, her insanely deep understanding of energy and astrology, and her insights into the ways cosmic energy impacts our day-to-day living.

We talk about...

Jill’s teenage years spent playing with crystals and astrology charts!
Her experience attending Upattinas School, known for fostering individuality and lifelong learning.
Jill’s background as a neuroscientist, studying at Hopkins, + eventually relocating to Venice Beach to study Chinese Medicine.
Planting intentions on a new moon, and then sharing the new version of ourselves during the full moon - which marks a period of release.
How Jill wrote an AMAZING forward for Allie Michelle’s new poetry book, Explorations of a Cosmic Soul.
The rise of the feminine energy in both men and women + how the #MeToo movement may actually align with the cosmic energy.
Bringing the world’s masculine and feminine energy into balance.
How to bring more of what you want and need into your life.
Why Jill isn’t afraid of Mercury Retrograde!

Ep. 102 - The Menstrual Disc That Could Change Your Life, Sexuality, and Female Entrepreneurship with Lauren Schulte, CEO + Founder of The FLEX Company Mar 08, 2018

It was such a joy + a pleasure to interview Lauren Schulte, the CEO + Founder of The FLEX Company. We totally went there in today’s episode! From how to insert the disc, to experiencing painful vaginal infections, and even chatting about the way partners (without vaginas) say they feel about supporting women through PMS symptoms - we covered it all!

Lauren shares with us how she suffered in silence with intense period pain and subsequent infections. When Lauren’s doctor informed her that tampon usage could be culpable for her chronic issues, she quit using them immediately and tried more than 30 alternative feminine hygiene products from all over the world (including the menstrual cup).

Already a successful businesswoman herself, Lauren ditched her career in Silicon Valley to meet a HUGE need in the female healthcare market. Lauren decided it was time to invest appropriate resources into creating a solution to the period woes women all around the world could identify with. A perfect storm of personal experience and business + marketing smarts, Lauren’s initiative has changed the menstruation game with the best alternative to using tampons!

We discuss…

FLEX - A new period product called a “menstrual disc.” Tampons and menstrual cups, by design, “plug up” the vagina (causing cramping + bloating), while menstrual discs are meant to sit higher up, much like a diaphragm
How FLEX can be left in for 12 hours AND you can have sex while it’s inserted - no infections or cramps!
The way tampons absorb all bacteria, including the GOOD bacteria, and can often lead to an imbalance (+ subsequent vaginal infections)
Lauren’s transition from a career in Silicon Valley to becoming the Founder + CEO of a start-up (which included taking big risks + pitching to many male investors)
Navigating the imposter syndrome as a female/Founder + CEO
Addressing challenging relationship dynamics in the workplace through open and honest conversations (Lindsey + Krista also chime in on their experiences working together on Almost 30 Podcast)
How to give feedback well (Hint - ALWAYS lead with inquiry)
Men who feel afraid and embarrassed about not knowing how to help their girlfriends through intrusive PMS symptoms
Being a leader - a people and performance manager - as the Founder + CEO and, thereafter, shaping the workplace culture
Lauren’s TEDx talk (in the works) - She plans to present the sociological understanding that there is no such thing as “gay” or “straight,” but rather sexuality is a spectrum ( + her own experience falling in love with a woman)
Men embracing their feminine energy in heterosexual relationships (not necessarily being effeminate)

It’s still Storey week! We’re PUMPED to share a double dose of Luke Storey, lifestyle design expert, transformational coach, and host of The Life Stylist Podcast!! If you haven’t already, you should check out Tuesday’s incredible episode to hear how Luke overcame almost two decades of addiction through spirituality + biohacking.

Luke has been sober for more than 20 years, and in that time he’s used himself as a human research lab. He has explored a broad (and sometimes extreme) variety of measures to obtain optimal health, performance, and well-being. From surviving being injected with poisonous Amazonian frog venom to three-week silent meditation trainings in India to neurofeedback training in an isolation chamber, Luke has scoured the Earth for both the most cutting edge + ancient technologies for healing + personal transformation.

Luke has applied the results of his field research and used them to not only completely transform his own life, but also the lives of thousands of fans and followers. We learn about…

Having a potty mouth (and when to edit it)
Luke’s journeys in the fashion world + podcast world
Biohacking tips + tech you’ve probably never heard of before
Being a truth seeker + just being REAL
Why being inauthentic + judgemental is a waste of time
Finding balance with an extreme lifestyle
Relationships + intimacy

Using the lessons she has learned throughout her life, Elissa created S.O.U.P. – Superfoods.Organic.Uniquely Designed.Prepared with Love. – 5 Day Food Cleanse, and “Cleanse Your Body, Cleanse Your Life” her 21 day online program. She also collaborates with leading health and wellness partners and is the creator of M Cafe’s macrobiotic REST Cleanse, signature juice blends at Erewhon Market and L.A. juice and a food program soon to be found at Earth Bar locations. We chat about...

Toxins + natural medicines
Why juicing is an effective way to cleanse your body of toxins

Ep. 80 Your New Formula For Manifesting Your Dream Life With Lacy Phillips Nov 14, 2017

Today on Almost 30, Krista and Lindsey are honored to welcome Lacy Phillips. She is the creative, connected spirit behind the blog Free and Native and a Manifestation Advisor.

She had a conscious awakening at 25, which changed the trajectory of her life. Started manifesting her own way after reading a slew of manifestation books that didn't resonate with her. We talk to Lacy about the birth of Free and Native and how she began sharing her own way of manifesting with friends and clients. Soon she realized, IT WORKED.

Are you feeling stuck? Wrapped up in the self-help books and wanting clarity on the process to attract what you want? Do you consistently attract the same type of people or the same type of chaos? Are you curious about the deep connection between your subconscious and your reality? Do you want to call in your future partner? If you are simply on a journey to get to know yourself better.....than this episode is for you.

We talk about:

How Lacy's method of manifesting is fundamentally different than mainstream methods
What is reparenting?
How the subconscious mind is the magnet in manifestation
The purpose of lessons and tests from the universe as it pertains to manifestation
Lacy's version of hypnosis
Doing the homework and observing the shifting self
Reprogramming smallness and finding accountability
What are expanders?
How to call in your future partner

#Almost30nation, we are so stoked to hear from you once you start implementing Lacy's manifestation method. It's exciting and empowering when you realize that you have the ability to attract what you want most in this life. Be sure to check out Lacy's blog, Free and Native, linked above! Grab a notebook, happy listening!! xx

We talk about the true consistency it takes to get what you want when pursuing your dream, being an actress in a town like L.A, putting your head down and doing the work, her transition between her early 20's and her late 20's, the challenges of being female in the entertainment industry, doubling for Mila Kunis, and kissing Hugh Jackman. That's right, HUGH FUCKING JACKMAN. Who then became one of her major acting mentors. #SAME.

Mia inspired us to the MAX, sharing her mantras that make her feel legitimate and confident in any situation. But in terms of the battle of balance - relationships, career, your craft, money, and everything in between - even if you're not an actress, this conversation is something that we can all relate to. Some goodies from this episode...

"I never cared about being famous, I just wanted to be good."
"The harder I worked, the luckier I got."
"When you just make it about the work, nothing else matters."

Ep. 78 “Don't Sugar Coat Your Diet” - The Power Of Sugar + Finding Every Piece Of The Health Puzzle With Holistic Health Coach Jess Suchan Oct 31, 2017

It's that time of year again ALMOST30NATION. Booze, cookies, candy, holiday craziness in general ... the temptations ARE REAL. That's why we brought in JESSICA SUCHAN, LA Holistic Nutritionist + Health Coach, to save us (and our booty's) from falling off the wagon this holiday season. Not only is this episode going to help navigate you through the next few months, but Jess (of Body Bliss by Jess) is all about navigating you through your food journey, emotionally, physically, spiritually, scientifically, etc. AKA you're gonna need a notebook. Maybe two.

If you remember one of our OG Guests, Hormone Queen + Expert, Candace Burch, is actually the mother of Miss Jessica Suchan. Body Bliss Coaching definitely runs in their fam bam. But Jess had a long and unique story on her road to being a health coach. Because her family was health-oriented from the get-go (we're talking buying almond milk before anyone even knew that existed), it was engraved in her brain being active and eating well. It wasn't until high school when she quit sports and continued to eat the junk food she had been consuming for years, that she started going down an unhealthy path with food. In order to loose weight, she restricted herself, binging on the weekends, saving up to buy "the ab belt", and weight loss pills. When Jess got to college, everything just escalated.

Her story continues with ...

Jess's first job out of college as a nutrition coach for an extremely restricting weight loss company, while she was still dealing with her own demons
LOSING + GAINING 40 POUNDS several different times
being surrounded by a family that was 100% dedicated to a restricting diet
how RESENTMENT was a key part of her battle with food
the word "DIET" versus "LIFESTYLE"
moving to LA with a "Devil Wears Prada" boss, triggering her former habits, feeling sick and exhausted all of the time
how her stressful + unhealthy lifestyle in LA caused constant migraines + how a program for ending migraines saved her life
her 3AM OPIPHANY for becoming a HEALTH COACH + quitting her crazy media job
"90% of diets fail" - because it's a "quick fix"
how EVERYTHING - food, relationships, home life, jobs, self-care - is a piece of the puzzle to create a healthy life
"SUGAR COATING YOUR LIFE" - the biological addicting power of sugar
what happens when you DON'T eat sugar?
THE COMPARISON GAME - it's twisted, it's nasty, and it's not okay

Ep. 77 - Crystals 101, Trusting Your Intuition + Building a Business With Your BFF With The Founders of Energy Muse Oct 24, 2017

This week we're givin' off some HIGH VIBES, talking all things CRYSTALS, and much much more with the founders and CEO's of Energy Muse, HEATHER ASKINOSIE + TIMMI JANDRO! Long story short, Heather and Timmi have been friends for nearly 45 years, living lives of adventure, spirituality, and self-exploration and healing. While Heather was the queen of holistic energy experiments in her home in Manhattan beach for many years, Timmi worked in the garment industry for just as long. And with that combination, Energy Muse was born - celebrating the use of crystals for living your best, most magical life!

Back to the show though, for those of you who don't know anything about crystals and need that CRYSTALS 101 lesson, this episode is for you. We start off with a CRYSTAL STONE READING (oooo la fricken la), to reveal what's going on in our lives and find more clarity. And from there we explore ...

their stories growing up together, their former careers, and jumping into adulthood
first starting their business - making necklaces, performing energy experiments, and doing their low-key crystal deals
the evolution of Heather and Timmi's business partnership and trusting relationship
when they were trailblazers in the new and fragile crystal industry + the stigma that came with that
the energy of the earth + how it got a bad rap
how crystals and stones are TOOLS for life - for ritual purposes, gaining composure, touch, feeling comforted, and reminding yourself the value of the Earth
what Heather + Timmi have to say to the SKEPTICS
our unique ways of realigning ourselves
what it was like writing their new book "Crystal Muse" - and how therapeutic and hard the process was
showing up for yourself for 11 minutes a day, a ritual, a practice, anything, and if you can't do that, how can you commit to anything else
“Do something consistently for yourself for 11 days, or even 40 days, for 11 minutes a day, you’re going to learn more about yourself in that time frame than you can in years of therapy.”
Timmi + Heather on how crystals and self-energy work is more than about just you, but it's about being a COLLECTIVE WORLD
the power of that recent ECLIPSE in August and what's happened to the Earth since then
and LINDSEY'S ACCURATE and MOVING READING from Heather - it's going to BLOW YOUR MIND

Ep. 75 - Modern Mystic + Sexuality Goddess Alexandra Roxo on Unleashing Your Inner Shaman and Changing the Female Narrative Oct 10, 2017

With everything going on in the world, good & bad, it's about time we have another MYSTICAL MAMA on the show to work with our energy. The fiery and foxy ALEXANDRA ROXO (side note: what a fabulous name) is one of LA's best ENERGY and TRANSFORMATIONAL workers, seeking all things mystical and magic. She's also an actress and director, working with names like Spike Jonze, Clive Owen, and Steven Soderbergh. Needless to say, she's a bundle of creative light that we all need right here, right now (Not to mention, she's speaking at our Sex, Love, & Other Things event).

With a Catholic father from a Brazil and a New Age-y mother from Georgia, Alexandra began immersing herself in a spiritual lifestyle from the early age of 12. From angels, spirits, ghosts, and auras, she was constantly surrounded by religion and the curiosity of other-worldlyness, with the help of her guide Bobby. When she got to college at New York University, she took it to the next level and dived into studying meditation in Italy, living a healthy lifestyle, and studying Eastern Religion Traditions. However, when she discovered Moon Rituals from one of her professors at NYU, she realized that kind of feminism was missing from all of the other practices. And she found her calling as a healer and energy worker.

From there, we went into ...

PLANT MEDICINE - in particular, AYAHUASCA - what is it? why should you use? what does it do? where do people use it in the world? what is it like?
how Ayahuasca HELPED Alexandra FORGIVE HERSELF, about everything from body image, doing good, and letting go of guilt and shame
"Hey girl you either do good stuff on this planet, like everything you say has to be for the good of all, or don't say a word." - Alexandra on what she realized during her use of Ayahuasca
"All of that is useful to heal and to work through things that are causing barriers between you and your best self. It's not just for play but if you really want to break through to the other side, it's self-awareness, self-consciousness issues, body image issues, issues with your parents, all of those things can really help you." - Alexandra on practicing plant medicine
we touch on ALIENS and fairies too (hehe)
her WRITING about sex, medicine, wellness, and spirituality on The Numinous, Mind Body Green, and Horoscope.com
her badass, raw, and real MENTORSHIP PROGRAM - intuitively bringing women into their emotional bodies and connecting with every part of your body
MOON CLUB - her group mentorship program based on the Moon's Rituals, making yourself your own healer, and sharing stories in a safe/open community
how to find a SPACE OF SURRENDER (not involving tequila)
"One thing is that a lot of spiritual practices are actually masculine-centric in the sense that they come from a place of structure and rigidity. Our whole lives are so structured, I mean we have fricken Google Calendar and all of this stuff going on all day. What I find missing from women's lives is a space of surrender." - Alexandra on surrendering
the difference between being SLUTTY and SEXUALITY
how WOMEN TRIGGER EACH OTHER - especially with men and beauty
THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HEAL/EMPOWER YOURSELF!

time on BROADWAY - and the up's and down's of that life
move to LOS ANGELES, like many of our amazing guests

Or if that isn't hitting home for you, Billy opens up about how he went from college football star, moving to Chicago and working shitty recruiting and insurance jobs, and then moving back home.

Ep. 68 - The Expectation Hangover + the Art of Letting Go with Guru of Change Christine Hassler Aug 29, 2017

This week we bring on one of our long-time idols and guru for all things motivational, CHRISTINE HASSLER. Basically, she's a personal transformation genius - along with a bestselling author, podcast host, TV show host on TLC, & keynote speaker. She's a go-to mind for seeking clarity in any part of life, whether it's love, relationships, careers, personal goals, and most importantly, the immense change that happens in your 20's and 30's.

By the time she was 25, she was the youngest agent in Hollywood, getting promoted, attending all of the award shows, making more money than most people her age, and dating a hot-shot producer. She had it all ... but did she? That's what we dive into. This realization that she wasn't truly doing things for herself sparked her big transition, which included quitting her job, going in debt, and losing the love her life by the time she was 26. So needless to say, things were changing and she decided to do something about it. MAJOR KEYWORDS here, people: beliefs, decisions, change, identity ... And not to mention, all of these GOLDEN goodies from Christine:

in your 20's you think every decision is a forever decision
living for society or living for yourself
being a victim or a creator in any difficult situations
the idea that things need to fall apart to be rebuilt
how everyone deals with their emotions/insecurities/fears, ie. behavior, mannerisms, actions, mentality, etc.
as children we don't have control over what happens to us, but when you're an adult, it's UP TO YOU, which can be scary
"reacting to the programming" - how did you grow up, what were you told, what does it mean & how does it effect our own personal decisions?
what do you BELIEVE about life that makes IT HARDER?
ANXIETY coming from beliefs that don't serve us
we spend more time avoiding rejecting instead of doing what we want
how to show up EXTERNALLY + INTERNALLY for yourself in order to handle REJECTION
the toxic game of PEOPLE PLEASING
Get ready to walk away from this ep feeling MOTIVATED, BADASS, + READY AF for everything!

Ep. 66 - Kimberly Rae Miller on the Origin of Perfection + Her New Book 'Beautiful Bodies' Aug 17, 2017

Krista and Lindsey are so excited to welcome Kimberly Rae Miller to the podcast this week! #Almost30nation listeners who attended the "Love Your Body" event got to read Kimberly's new book Beautiful Bodies before anyone else! The response has been, well, beautiful. Kimberly brings a balanced dose of humor, curiosity, depth, and vulnerability to the body positive space.

As a child model, she became aware of her body at a very young age. Kimberly shares what it was like dieting alongside her mom to prepare for a beauty pageant, how her obsession with being perfect stemmed from her father's hoarding, and how the exhaustion with ALL of this eventually inspired her to examine the connection between her upbringing and her relationship with her body. We unwrap:

How being honest about your broken parts opens up a healing conversation
Her first book "Coming Clean", a memoir about her upbringing in a hoarder's household
Why she owes her entire career to her poor relationship with her body
How a miscarriage showed her how to be compassionate with her body
How her exhaustion with the obsession of losing weight inspired her to look beyond her body and seek MORE
Highlights from and insight on her new book, Beautiful Bodies, which is a thoughtful blend of memoir and social history.

FAM, we have all had negative self talk at one time or another. A thought that buries itself so deep in our subconscious that it creates this alternate reality where we are not good enough. Well we hope this episode assures you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. What you are feeling or have felt, someone else has felt that too. Kimberly is so honest and candid, we can't wait for you to connect with her. Take a deep breath of gratitude for that body of yours. IT IS AH-MAZING. Happy listening, babies!

Ep. 65 - Super Model + Bad B Kari Calhoun on How to be Your Authentic Self and Change Industry Standards Aug 15, 2017

Oh, this episode is just a couple of models just having a discussion about models doing model things. JUST KIDDING. But, what a discussion that would be ... On the real tho, Krista and Linds sat down this week with a #reallifemodel KARI CALHOUN, one of the most popular names in America's Next Top Model history (Season 21, what uppppp!). And we get to all the details, from start to finish on her model journey.

We talk about her story, moving from Dallas to Iowa to Los Angeles, and why she fell in love with the city full of so many opportunities. (She literally hopped off the plane at LAX) Although at first she never took her modeling career seriously, she got signed to a boutique agency and started going to auditions, which were as intense as people say they are. There was a long period where Kari's lack of confidence was showing through the camera & kept her asking "Why am I not getting it?" or "What am I doing wrong?" So how did she get her groove back? Soul searching, not giving a f*ck, letting go, taking everything step-by-step, & realizing the auditions that best fit HER.

Kari also lays down the law when it comes to #INSTAMODELS & why they shouldn't be honored or idolized. "What goes viral about you should be your character and how you live your life, " she explains.

Ep. 63 - How Sakara Life Founders Made Their Mess Their Mission + Managing Your Microbiome Aug 01, 2017

Okay ladies + gents ... this episode is a BIG ONE. Not only do we have one but TWO guests, Danielle and Whitney of Sakara Life. They've known each other since they were twelve in Arizona, and moved to the Big Apple for their dreams of modeling and working on Wall Street. But as time passed, their struggles grew along with their go-go-go kind of lifestyle. Things basically got CRAY ... fast. Everything started to add up, from going-out, getting acne, drinking, eating out all of the time, working 80 hours/week, and not taking the time to take care of themselves. And this is how their new new lifestyle started.

They both had a lot of healing and needed to remind each other food is medicine. So from there they started being their own guinea pigs, and cooking their own meals and creating their own recipes. Eventually, they knew they were on to something, and they started delivering meals on their bikes around NYC to their clients.

In terms of the food science aspects of living the Sakara Life, here are some vital topics we touched on:

micro biome = bacteria living in your gut
95% of serotonin is made in the gut
eating the right food helps that good bacteria thrive, and visa versa
adding greens is KEY to every meal - smoothies, sandwiches, soups, etc.
eat well and don't stress about it because studies show that stress/anxiety leads to aging faster
science points to plants as the key to anti-aging
eating a VARIETY of plants is important because it builds the different types of amino acids your body needs
studies also show that your personality is more present when eating healthy

It's all about living a life of clarity, freedom, health, and nourishment. We hope you learn more than you can imagine from this episode!

Ep. 60 - Finding Your Identity + Peace Through Life's Darkest Times with Meditation Guru, Biet Simkin Jul 11, 2017

BIET SIMKIN is probably the most interesting person in the world ... seriously, your mind is about to be BLOWN. The sh*t that she's been through and the person who she has become because of that is BEYOND all of our dreams of determination and strength. So Krista + Lindsey are peeling back the layers of the goddess Biet Simkin ...

For those of you who don't know who Miss Simkin is, she New York native, first-generation American and a leader in the world of meditation. Not only was her father a philosophical shaman and gave her the Book of the Dead at age nine, Biet was singer and fashion fiend who spent a big part of her life living the life of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. And not the glamorous, Hollywood kind.

After struggling with a drug and alcohol addiction, mourning her father's death, as well as her child's passing, Biet talks about her Ah-Ha moment of sobering up and changing her life for good. She knew it was time to find the person she was meant to be, which is what this episode is all about.

The journey to find your identity is hard for everyone, and Biet has developed a meditation technique not only to help you find it but to help you be the best person you can be. Her technique is like "watching a documentary on yourself" and observing your every move AKA "Divided Attention Mediation".

Another amazing point Biet stress' is how we are more than just our body and our minds. Everything from hallucinations, serendipity, and voices - those all mean more than we know. And Biet talks about how listening to these transcendental messages LITERALLY saved her LIFE and how her practice develops this kind of acknowledgment. It's a spirituality POW WOW worth taking a listen to #Almost30Nation!

Ep. 59 - Healing Your Worthiness Wound + Claiming Your Confidence with Thais Sky Jul 05, 2017

This conversation with Thais Sky left Krista and Lindsey with their jaws on the floor. TRUTH TALK AT ITS REALEST. The girls welcome this "esteemed women's leadership expert, international speaker and mindfulness teacher whose empathetic approach to worthiness, confidence and emotions have taken her through the healing of her own childhood trauma into a healing career, as well as into the study of cognitive psychology, neurology, spirituality, sociology and spiritual psychology". THAIS IS NEXT LEVEL WOKE. Her emotional connection to helping women reclaim not only their feminine power, but their human worthiness is palpable when she speaks. Thais is a force to be felt and a voice to be heard. Washingtonian Magazine named her as one of the top “8 bloggers to know.” The Huffington Post calls her “an inspirational woman” and she was nominated for Forbes Magazine 30 under 30 award. .....AND THIS IS JUST BEGINNING. This conversation is the definition of FLOW, truly a dreamy inspirational conversation for the girls. They discuss:

why being kind to yourself is the path to self-empowerment
how the woman's voice is going to shift the state of this world
why noticing the lens we where will wake you up and stir your power to change the world
why forcing ourselves to be positive is counterproductive
practical ways to up-level your life and align with your purpose

Ep. 54 - Feng Shui-ing Your Life for Good Vibes, with Dana Claudat Jun 13, 2017

Ever heard of the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui?! It's not some crazy interior design technique people have used for centuries. It's a way of cleaning your space AND your life!

To dive further into what this technique and practice is all about, Krista and Linds sat down this week with Feng Shui expert and personal curator, DANA CLAUDAT. Dana studied Art History at Stanford University and then moved on to become a Pyramid School Feng Shui consultant. Krista and Linds literally asked her, "DANA TEACH US YOUR WAYS." Because it's about time we all learned about how bomb feng shui is ...

Feng Shui means "wind" and "water", so it's all about BALANCE. And in ancient times, it was all about survival and structure of your home in relation to the wind, weather, geography, and water.
Dana's job is "expansive design", design to help you expand your life, through art and feng shui.
She also breaks down the stereotypes of feng shui, everything from how strict it is and what are the rules.
Ways to make any space feel better! Big ... small ... doesn't matter, Dana's got you.
How do homeowners "fung-shei" a previously owned home? Mysterious stuff? Weird neighbors? That's stuff you gotta find out ...

Ep. 51 - Forgiving Our 20s Us + The Art of Forgiving In Your 30s May 23, 2017

COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM PALM SPRINGS!

Krista & Linds are soaking up the rays and hanging by the pool in sunny Southern California. This week, they bring back a #almost30nation fan favorite, 20s + 30s US!

*Que expensive "20s US VS 30s US" theme song*

They're talking MAJOR throwbacks like matching your eyeshadow and makeup with your outfits, Lisa Frank, Lindsey's old obsession with all of the #crimping techniques and experiments, and how opposite their beauty routines are today.

HOWEVER, the main topic Krista & Linds are discussing this week is FORGIVENESS. Everything forgiveness, the who, what, when, where, why, and how. They get DEEP during this conversation, especially with:

cheating and romantic relationships
friends and reciprocation
if people can/will change
the power and struggle of letting go
usually when you're wrong in the situation, you hold on to it more than anyone
family, family, family
not understanding other's beliefs or values, ie. religion/spirituality
people don't want to hear about those people you can't forgive
not forgiving others can ruin your other relationships
And most importantly, YOURSELF

Ep. 50 - Curve Model + CEO of Model Meals Danika Brysha On Her Battle With Food, and How It Transformed Her Life May 16, 2017

Once again, Linds and Krista bring on the best of the health, wellness, and body positivity industries. This week's guest is DANIKA BRYSHA, a curve model with IMG Models, the CEO of Model Meals, a leader in the health and wellness world, and an inspirational rockstar for everyone. Danika has been featured in InStyle, Shape, PopSugar, People, and many more publications. Her story has inspired thousands of women who are struggling with loving their body, their relationship with food and addiction, and transforming their lives.

Danika shares her story, which starts at a young age, battling drug usage, fad chronic dieting, and being "the chubby girl", using her food to process her emotions. But that didn't stop her from being one of the busiest, most successful curve models in the world, after being discovered in a Bank of America. Needless to say, she took her insecurities and built a life for herself off of them.

Some of the most useful food/body tips you'll ever hear from this episode are:

drop the FOOD RULES
the answer to losing weight is "NOT trying to lose weight"
it's never about the food, it's about YOU (your childhood, you mentality about yourself growing up, specific circumstances you were under)
don't waste your energy on worrying about food, worry about YOUR DREAMS
it's about how you FEEL after you eat food
how much the MEDIA REALLY INFLUENCES the way you think about yourself

Ep. 49 - How Crystals, Cards, + Shamans Save Lives: Colleen McCaan Shares Her Psychic Gift May 09, 2017

Pick a card, any card ... because on this week's episode we are joined by shamanic energy medicine practitioner, the official shaman for VOGUE Magazine, and founder of STYLE RITUALS, COLLEEN MCCANN.

If you're into crystals, tarot readings, spirituality, intuition, spirits, ghosts, EVERYTHING MAGIC, this episode is for YOU.

So for those of you who are new to the tarot card and crystal thing thing, it's basically a visual narrative of your past life, your current life, and your future life, as well as the emotions you are currently dealing with. Krista got a past life card, and she's pretty sure she's dealing with some karmic debt, while Lindsey got a Five of Cups card, meaning she's got plenty o' abundance.

On the other hand, shamans are conduits to things people can't see in the unseen world, and provide messages and healing to those who need it. Shamans can realize they have their gifts at any age, and Miss McCann realized her's in her late twenties. From hearing voices constantly, having premonition dreams, seeing ghosts, and having other healers tell her she had a gift, Colleen knew she had to listen to the voices and put her 15 plus year in the fashion industry to an end.

Although Krista, Linds, and Colleen go over a plethora of spirituality- related topics in this episode, the main takeaway is the importance of dabbling in various practices before you find the one you like. Or the one that "speaks" to you.

Ep. 48 - Lori Harder On Owning Your Story, Loving Your Body, & Cultivating Your Tribe May 02, 2017

CALLING ALL WOMEN WHO FEEL THAT THEY ARE DESTINED FOR GREATNESS. Seriously, don't look around. That's YOU. Hi! You don't have to apologize for feeling that innate fire and pull toward something bigger. Give this episode your full attention--you'll be given permission to take ownership of your dreams. This week the girls are so excited to be sharing their interview with LORI HARDER. Lori is the host of the Earn Your Happy Podcast, founder of The Bliss Project, author, cover model, three-time fitness world champion, a "self-love junkie", and a woman at the forefront of the "women supporting women" movement. Her path to success has been a beautiful zigzag of highs and lows, revelations and resistance, self-love and overflowing generosity. As Janet Jackson says, "WE GO DEEP"...(love you Janet). Here's what we discuss:

How to receive what you need when swimming through the sea of self love books, guru's, programs, video's, practices, etc.
Who was early 20's Lori and what did she learn in order to stand in her light and success now
When she left home at 18 to essentially break the rules of her religious upbringing to eventually experience the wake-up calls needed to find the freedom and inspiration to follow the call of her soul to do big things
How fitness saved her life
Why she was the most sad and lonely at the height of her fitness competition career
How paying it forward can shift your mindset
Why the body doesn't change if the mind doesn't change
Her commitment to being a forever student
How to effectively set and achieve your goals
How writing her book is forcing her to sit with her story and unwrap and reflect on everything and everyone that have brought her to this point

Ep. 47 - Aligning Who You Are With Who You Were Made To Be: Human Design with Jenna Zoe Apr 25, 2017

This week's episode is based off of 2 words: HUMAN DESIGN.

No, it's not an anatomy class or a biology lesson. It's all about YOU. Your body, your mind, but most importantly, your AURA and ASTROLOGICAL MAKE-UP.

Okay, still confused? Krista and Lindsey each receive a human design reading from an expert and spiritual goddess, JENNA ZOE. She spends this episode showing off her craft by helping the ladies make life decisions, control their minds, and get in touch with their bodies.

Human Design uses your birth time and place to calculate your personal Human Design chart. In this calculation, the positions of Sun, Moon, and planets at the time of your birth play an important role. Astrology also uses the birth time and place to generate your natal chart, but it interprets the data differently – and Human Design is not astrology. Time to get ANTHROPOMORPHIC (In the words of our lovely guest)!

Human Design calculates two moments in time. Our birth, which determines our conscious definition and a moment approximately 88 days before our birth (exactly 88 degrees of the sun before the moment of our birth), which determines our unconscious definition. The second; the pre-natal calculation is unique and crucial part of the Human Design revelation.

Miss Jenna Zoe also breaks down the 4 TYPES OF HUMAN BEINGS

manifestos
generators
projectors
reflectors

Definitely a note-taking episode, but an insightful one at that!

But the girls talk honestly about how their relationships with other women haven't always been so AMAZING. *AHEM* #HIGHSCHOOL. This is such a good one. They unwrap some GOLD, like:

How to create a culture where women support women
What it actually looks like for women to support other women
When each of the girls realized the power of their relationships with other women
How challenges with other women earlier in their lives inspired and moved them to change their perspective and want to make social shifts
How they stay their authentic selves in business and in relationships with women

YO, GIRLS. We run this mutha.

Ep. 28 - Bad Boyz 4 Life? What We Deserve In Relationships + Sexy Lice Vibes Jan 03, 2017

This weeks' podcast is back with the classic format, both Krista and Lindsey are together this week to chat about their youth, and what it REALLY means to be an awkward kid. Like, no teeth, and LICE vibes. Sexy, right?

Starting out we talk about what to do when you're not feeling 'hundred'. Forcing or fronting a feeling isn't needed. When the holiday season is in full swing, tensions are high and it's challenging to stay grounded. There is a tendency to over commit, and overworked. When you're working all year and losing inspiration, as a creative, it's challenging to find that spark and that excitement and bring it everyday. The girls talk strategies to stay motivated, grounded and inspired. No matter what field you're in, staying 'inspired' means staying in the game of life.

Our question this week comes from a listener who is writing in about a mysterious object found in...um....her lady parts. After that initial shock they run through the real question, about expectations, and what each one of us 'deserves' in relationships.

It's another buffet of hilarious stories, and relevant insights from The Almost 30 crew. Thanks for subscribing, rating and reviewing! We love you!

The girls get honest about how and why they would wish away time with family. Krista shares how she made the shift from holiday expectation hangover to being present and loving family and loving current situations for who and what they are. Also SO 20's us? Overspending on materialistic bullsh*t during the holidays. Why the gold, sequin holiday dress, Lindsey? PUT IT DOWN. Lindsey also get's a little personal...sharing a mega high and super low that happened in the span of 3 hours, yet left her realizing what she wants to take into her 30's.

Closing out this episode is a topic to which EVERYONE can relate. Body image. The girls discuss a simple, honest prompt from a listener: "How do you deal with body image issues?". It's not easy...they discuss. But, man, it's so nice to know you are not alone.

The girls have been waiting to share their interview with this special, soulful goddess. ERICA KMIEC, Marketing Outreach Manager for "Energy Muse", and beauty behind the blog, Soulnotion, joins the girls this week for an intimate chat. Not too long ago, Erica was stuck in a job she didn't love, feeling uninspired and anxious. Her soul searching and interest in holistic alternatives for her anxiety led her down an ever-changing, beautifully rewarding spiritual path. The girls find out how Erica turned her obstacles into opportunities and how her spiritual practice helped to manifest her dream job. Erica is one of those people who makes you feel heard, seen, and accepted. She helps the girls to understand why it's important to honor the pace and space in which people are spiritual.

You guys, the girls are still recovering from this one. This week they have a murder mystery on their hands (how frickin' dramatic is that!?).

Ep. 18 - Cleav, Slutty Costumes, Drunk Cooking, + The Call to Manifest Nov 15, 2016

Cleavage, man. Too much is always enough. And not enough, always has intention. In the candid opening of this weeks Almost 30, Krista and Lindsey reflect on their cleavage practices back in the day and how it serves them now.

It's been way too long since the girls have shared their "20's Us, 30's Us". Halloween gave Krista some serious inspiration. Hey ladies, still have that 'slutty inmate' costume in a plastic bin under your bed just in case? Fella's, admit it, how confused/disturbed were you by girls' attempts at 'sexy grandma'. Krista reflects on Halloween past and present. The two are alarmingly/thankfully very different. Lindsey remembers her late night eating habits in her early 20's...Turkey and Eggo Waffles anyone? She talks about her current commitment to a more mindful relationship with food.

This week the girls call a listener from Utah! UTAH! Ali's question about the law of attraction develops into a full blown discussion about manifestation, cultivating your tribe, and how you are the average of the five people you spend most of your time with.

This episode is like an EVERYTHING BAGEL. You can't not love something about it. *double negative, sorry English teachers of past*.

Ep. 17 - Interview with the Ladies of 'Le Sweat', Charlee Atkins & Meridith Miller Nov 08, 2016

We'd like to interrupt this week's show notes with a quick disclaimer regarding the first 8 minutes of this episode: The sound is gently distorted by the sweet aliens that were helping to connect Le sweat in NYC to Almost 30 in LA. Feel free to skip over the part where Lindsey messaged some guy on Instagram because he had beautiful succulents. THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL, OKAY!? Around, the 8 minute mark, all is right in the world.

This week Almost 30 welcomes the ladies behind Le Sweat, a fresh online publication that shakes up the idea of 'working out'. Charlee Atkins, an uber popular SoulCycle Instructor and fitness model, and Meridith Miller, a lady boss of partnerships at Twitter, are exploring their own idea of "working on working out". The physical sweat is just the beginning. The ladies talk 'inner-cising', being alone (not lonely), social media, knowing thyself after the end of a long-term relationship, why everyone should take a friend-moon, their popular articles filed under "Stroke His Ego", and how Charlee and Meredith are already OWNING their 30's. This one is candid and inspiring. After you listen, check out www.le-sweat.com!

Ep. 16 - How to Deal with Rejection *Minisode* Nov 04, 2016

The girls have a very candid conversation about rejection. Krista shares what it was like auditioning for SoulCycle, what she learned, how she was redirected, and how it helped to pave the path to her successful blog. Lindsey shares how putting herself in front of rejection more often (auditions, auditions, auditions) creates a healthy non-attachment to the outcome so that her pursuit is always exciting. They discuss the "something greater" that is at work, the challenge to trust it, and what happens when our preparation meets it. If you are experiencing rejection in your career, romantic relationships, family life, in the pursuit of your dreams, internally between you and you....YOU WILL RELATE.

Ep. 15 - Tinder, Ghosting, Trump, & Twitter Trolls Nov 01, 2016

The topic table is a BUFFET this week. Krista and Lindsey share their "Hundred, NOT Hundred's". Lindsey got a haircut, so tell ya friends. But on a note that is so typical/weird us: Who would have thought that finding out what your moon sign is would open up a whole new world of understanding? Like, "OH WOW I become two different people when someone calls me on my sh*t" becomes less psycho and more acceptable when you are able to lean on your astrological moon sign. The girls also celebrate and talk about the importance of cultivating a tribe of people that support and lift you up, that give you permission to be vulnerable and open, and that acknowledge your vision and give it light. Their NOT HUNDRED's are pretty darn relevant . Let's just say they talk the circus that is the 2016 election, as well as the moment your "EX" finds a new gf/bf. *GASP*

FINALLY. GHOSTING. What the heck is that? What qualifies as "ghosting"? Have we done it? Have we been ghosted? What is acceptable? How does one prevent the ghost? We get a call from a listener. She has just experienced a pretty gnarly case of ghostage. Sound guy, Steve, was apparently just ghosted last week. We come together as a fam and figure out what the EFF is going on here.

Finally, a listener has written in asking the girls for their advice on letting go of friends as an adult. The girls talk redirection, priority shifts, dwindling common interests, and more. The truth is some friendships take more effort than they are worth. How do you make more room for those friends that will ride the wave with you no matter what?

Ep. 11 - Holistic Health Coach, Daniela Kende of Color Me Complete Oct 11, 2016

"Daniela Kende is a board certified Holisitic Health Coach who supports busy professionals who want to lose weight, reveal more radiant skin, and find abundant energy to create the life they've always imagined." Are you raising your hand and screaming "ME, ME, ME, ME, ME!!"? The girls nearly fell off of their swivel chairs because they were nodding so hard during this interview. Daniela believes in peeling back the layers, digging deeper to reveal the real intention behind superficial 'wants'. Want to lose 20 lbs? Why? What would that mean for you? She talks about actually allowing ourselves to think about what we would IDEALLY feel like each day. We need permission for that? YUP. The girls share their dreams and goals and how aligning with your intention will increase the drive towards that goal.

How does creating a rule, like "I'm not a morning person", sell yourself short? Daniela and the girls discuss the limitations and how releasing the rule could change your life. What are your limiting beliefs...could they be the one thing holding you back from reaching your full potential?

Grab a pen and paper because Daniela also drops extremely useful tips on skin care, diet, balancing hormones, protein powders, and sugar. DANIELA KENDE is about to change the way to LIVE.

Ep. 10 - Let's Get Personal Oct 04, 2016

In this episode of Almost 30, Lindsey and Krista interview each other. You'd think they know everything about one another, but the coolest part of friendship is finding out new sh*t about the other person every time you are together. You know!? The girls dig deep and get curious. Lindsey explains how attending an all-girls, private, Catholic school shaped who she is today, Krista gives us her vision of where she will be in ten years, and SO much more. It's still the beginning here at Almost 30, so the girls thought it was important you get to know them a little better.

Ep. 9 - Card Chip Readers Suck, Self Awareness Rules Sep 27, 2016

The girls could be driving a Nissan Sentra (uh, one of them does) or a G-wagon, but if there is a sun roof, they feel like BALLERS no matter what. Ya feel that? It's the little things...and a few profound things in this weeks "Hundred, NOT Hundred". It is always a treat, when they can share "Sh*t that Stuck". Their revelations this week brought up that presence is your power and self awareness can be paralyzing at times, but such a gift if nurtured.

Why do we want to keep in touch? All of this and MUCH MORE in this weeks episode of "Almost 30!"

Ep. 7 - Marriage FOMO Sep 21, 2016

Whether you're a guy or a girl, you've felt it. THE PRESSURE. Some girls equate happiness with marriage and kids. At a certain age the thirst is REAL and pretty overwhelming for both parties involved. Krista and Lindsey connect with a male listener, who wonders why that is and what makes other girls refuse to settle down. His insight is ON POINT, and together, the three get personal and get to the bottom of the issue.

BUT FIRST, the girls share their weekly "Hundred, NOT Hundred's" and "20's Us, 30's Us". Have you ever asked for a beautiful tech-nerd baby angel from heaven...and gotten one? Or, have you sent nudes to your boyfriend and not received a reply? Anyone cake their face with make-up in their 20's? Or do you wonder whether you and your partner will agree on what to feed your kids? There is a RANGE this week...WOW. ALMOST 30 IS HAVING RANGE, OKAY?! Listen on, friends!

Ep. 5 - Destuffing Bras + Stuffing Faces Sep 13, 2016

In Episode 5 of Almost 30, Lindsey and Krista begin by celebrating no longer stuffing their bra's and recounting a meet-up with a high school crush 12 years later. They highly suggest the latter. In one of their favorite segments, "20's Us, 30's Us", the girls lay it all out there--from chronic car accidents to over-giving, to their slowing metabolism to wanting to know more about their finances. Knowledge is power, right?! Their question of the week comes from "Courtney", As Courtney approaches 30, she finds herself getting in deep when it comes to relationships--moving in together, purchasing pets, and cooking for one another. Sounds successfully adult. But what happens when it doesn't work out? Could be an UGLY mess.
