BONUS: Heal the Divine Feminine and Step Into Love Dec 27, 2022

Show notes

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, a curated clip from part two of their conversation, presents his channeling of The Z’s in full – a very special honor.

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.

Morning Microdose is a podcast curated by Krista Williams and Lindsey Simcik, the hosts and founders of Almost 30, a global community, brand and top rated podcast.

With curated clips from the Almost 30 podcast, Morning Mircodose will set the tone for your day, so you can feel inspired through thought provoking conversations…all in digestible episodes that are less than 10 minutes.

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

Show notes

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!

We also talk about:

K+L on holiday family dynamics
Sharing your message vs. valuing your privacy
Self-censorship and social media
Posting as a replacement for expression
Technology as a tool for improving lives
Making the Matrix real
Addictive media messaging
Twerking and female empowerment
Who is Sahara today?

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

Show notes

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
Letting it rip on Day 1
The peace of Day 2
Emotional release on Day 3
Taking the goggles off
Integration and lessons learned

568. Journey Into the Darkness (Part 1) Dec 13, 2022

Show notes

Drop in for this mind-expanding conversation between Krista and Scott Berman, of Sky Cave Retreats in Oregon, to learn all about the hidden power of the dark, its ancestral lineage in healing and spirituality, and the life-changing practice of darkness retreats – an experience Krista takes in for herself soon after this interview and one which will be discussed in the next episode of Almost 30, later this week.

Scott is well versed in this mystic field, having spent extensive time in solitude, silence, and of course – in the dark as a means to soften into his own existence and understand the world’s collective song.

He shares a few eye-opening stories from recent participants, explains some of the neurology behind darkness and how it affects our brain, and sets our expectations for darkness retreats – by removing them completely.

We also talk about:

Why would someone do a Darkness retreat?
Heart intention vs. ego intentions
Delving into darkness retreats
How men and women experience darkness
Lineage of darkness retreats
Moving through grief
Preparation and integration
The neuroscience behind darkness
Exploring the depths of softness
Satisfaction, healing, and spirituality
Letting go of expectation

We do these solo episodes a couple times a month – as K+L unpack complex subject matter that they’ve processed in their own lives and which might be beneficial to the collective at large. After soaking in this one, check out a couple of Lindsey’s most recent solo episodes linked below.

We also talk about:

Soul Journaling practice
What is patience?
We are placed in positions intentionally

Show notes

Today’s episode is an amazing discovery conversation with The Holistic Psychologist, Dr. Nicole LePera (a beloved two-time Almost 30 guest) centered around her thoughtful new workbook, How to Meet Yourself, which is out now.

Here at Almost 30, we do aliens, we do channeling, we dabble in psychedelic therapy and dig into some of the deepest spiritual concepts out there – but this one is all about serious self-development, the complexities and questions we face as women, and how we can work to simplify it all for a more balanced, peaceful being.

Nicole is incredibly transformational in her work and with her words. We always love having her on and talking to her about the importance of doing the work, about all of these therapy-related topics that have really changed our lives over the years.

Living with inner peace and alignment
The nervous system’s connection to mental health

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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
