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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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
Kelly’s Body Love Journal
Gluten, non-dairy milk, and making healthy choices

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

414. Celestial Lifestyle + Speaking Her Truth in Hard Times with Jordan Younger Apr 01, 2021

Show notes

Jordan Younger aka The Balanced Blonde is a longtime friend of the show, fellow podcast host of Soul On Fire, blogger, author, and wellness educator. Jordan joins K+L to talk about her healing journey that has led to her own intuitive way of eating called the "celestial lifestyle." We talk about what she’s learned from years of visiting doctors and healers, and self-experimentation, to deal with her Lyme disease and other health issues. 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. They get into how to speak your truth in hard times and what Jordan is doing to take action against a defamatory article written about her recently. Jordan is profoundly heart-centered and full of integrity and such a joy to listen to, and we’re excited to share openly and honestly in this episode!

We also talk about:

Moving on from your old story
Returning to an intuitive diet after a lifetime of built up food habits and addictions
What the celestial diet is
Jordan’s health journey and public battle with Lyme disease

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

Show notes

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
