Show notes

In this solo episode, Lindsey reflects on what years of personal growth have really taught her as she approaches 40—and the lessons from Almost 30 that changed how she sees herself, success, relationships, and her own path.

She gets honest about intuition, healing, ambition, and the pressure to constantly become “better,” sharing the mindset shifts that have helped her trust herself more and stop chasing an idea of who she is supposed to be.

From learning to listen to her body to realizing there is no finish line, Lindsey explores what happens when you let your life evolve—and start choosing fulfillment, purpose, and inner peace over constantly trying to arrive.

Why your intuition often whispers before your life has to scream
The difference between healing yourself + remembering who you already are
Breaking free from the self-improvement trap
How the quality of your relationships shapes the quality of your life
Learning to listen to your body before burnout takes over
How Lindsey’s definition of ambition has changed
Why discernment matters when you consume endless advice
Getting comfortable with uncertainty instead of needing all the answers
Why most things that feel like emergencies eventually become perspective
Letting your dream life evolve into something simpler + more meaningful

898. Your nervous system is being exposed every day: EMFs, energy, and the biofield EXPLAINED Aug 18, 2026

Show notes

What if something you can’t see is affecting how you feel every single day? Philipp von Holtzendorff-Fehling, founder of Leela Quantum Tech, joins us to explore energy, consciousness, and the nervous system—and why he believes modern life may be pulling us further from our natural state.

From EMFs + 5G to the energy we absorb from the people + environments around us, Philipp challenges us to question what we’ve normalized. We dive into coherence, intuition, the biofield, and the possibility that there’s a better way to support your body, your energy, and your nervous system.

Philipp also shares the experiences that completely changed the trajectory of his life—from corporate executive to energy + consciousness pioneer. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, struggled to hear your intuition, or sensed there was something more going on beneath the surface, this episode will make you look at your everyday world differently.

We also talk about:

Why Philipp believes EMFs may be impacting our bodies + nervous system
What happens when we’re constantly surrounded by electromagnetic signals
The connection between coherence, intuition, and feeling like yourself again
How to recognize when an energy, environment, or relationship feels expansive or contracting
Philipp’s powerful experience at a Buddhist monastery in Thailand
The moment he realized he had completely disconnected from his own intuition
What the biofield is + why Philipp believes it matters
How Leela Quantum Tech came to be + the technology behind it
Why Philipp believes we can access more of our consciousness than we realize
The idea that your purpose reveals itself when you start moving toward it

893. Drop the "good girl" in you + embrace your desires: Spiritual practices to transform shame with Elise Loehnen Aug 04, 2026

Show notes

This conversation with bestselling author Elise Loehnen explores how spiritual practice can help us question the beliefs we've inherited about being a "good woman." Krista + Elise unpack shame, envy, comparison, and desire, revealing how these patterns shape our lives—and how spirituality can become a path back to authenticity.

Together, they explore the misunderstood story of Mary Magdalene, the origins of the seven deadly sins, and why emotions like envy, anger, and longing aren't flaws to overcome but invitations to deeper self-understanding. Elise shares how questioning old narratives can become one of the most powerful spiritual practices we have.

From body image + ambition to belonging + purpose, this conversation invites you to rethink the rules you've inherited and embrace a more intentional way of living. If you've ever struggled with comparison, perfectionism, or feeling like you have to be "good" to be worthy, this episode offers a fresh perspective on spirituality, freedom, and self-worth.

We also talk about:

The truth about Mary Magdalene that history left out
How the "good girl" script shows up in everyday life
Why envy is pointing you toward your next chapter
Releasing guilt around desire, ambition, and wanting more
Healing your relationship with food + your body
The emotional cost of comparison + perfectionism
How shame disconnects us from our intuition
Choosing depth over performance in the age of social media
Finding freedom beyond society's expectations
Why your triggers may be your greatest teachers

What if your self-worth is shaping what you’re able to manifest? In this episode, Krista sits down with To Be Magnetic’s Chief Content Officer Jessica Gill to unpack the patterns behind money, abundance, relationships, and the subconscious blocks that may be keeping you from what you truly want.

Manifestation tests + how to recognize them
Breaking subconscious patterns around money + love
Building wealth consciousness + an abundance mindset
Nervous system regulation + expanding your capacity to receive
Self-worth, boundaries, and trusting what you truly desire
