Show notes

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.

She opens up about the loneliness that comes with responsibility and how she reconciles the darker elements of her life experience, from being bullied in childhood to how she processed being sexually assaulted amid a peak career “high.”

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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
The spiritual components to the wedding
Creating space to grieve on “the best day of your life”
The aligned timing of the wedding and getting back into real life

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

Show notes

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
Keeping the faith

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:

Non-verbal boundaries and checking in with yourself

Show notes

Lindsey takes a moment to share a slice of her life after her big move from LA to NYC, and talks about the importance of following your heart in decision making.

Reflecting on move from LA to NYC
Overcoming perfectionism
Why following your heart can be triggering to others
