313. The Art of Inquiring Within with IN-Q Apr 07, 2020

Show notes

THE INTERVIEW

In times like this, we all need a little art in our ears — and IN-Q is the oasis of inspiration that our souls are craving right now. He’s a national poetry slam champion, an award-winning poet, a multi-platinum songwriter, and his new book Inquire Within is out now. If you ever get the chance to hear him live, do it. Listening to him recite his poetry live is so powerful and mesmerizing. Even though he’s sharing his own thoughts and feelings, he invites the audience to go inside themselves and ask how they feel about it. In this episode we explore the life of a poet and creator, finding inspiration, and learning to make a living with your art. AND LISTEN UNTIL THE END!! In-Q performs a few pieces of his work that Krista and Lindsey request. The girls will never forget this one.

We also talk about:

Balancing your ego with being present
How vulnerability leads to empathy
How community influences art
The stories we tell ourselves
Making money while maintaining artistic integrity
Getting over your resistance
Remembering that you have a choice in your life
Greed + conscious capitalism

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

Show notes

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.

If you’d like to try Methodology, K + L have a promo code. Visit gomethodology.com and use the code ALMOST30 for 20% off your first delivery.

Ep. 309 - Jen Gotch on The Upside of Being Down Mar 24, 2020

Show notes

THE INTERVIEW

Jen Gotch joined us just over a year ago for a really important conversation about mental health, figuring yourself out, and self-care. Jen is a huge expander for a lot of us in Almost 30 Nation — Krista and Lindsey included! — so we had to have her back for round two to discuss her powerful new book. The Upside of Being Down is an honest account of Jen’s mental health struggles and how that long journey, with all its ups and downs, led to her greatest successes in work and life. She is so inspiring and unapologetic about her life + gives a fresh take on what it’s like being a constant internal battle. We dive deep into what it’s like to push yourself in your career without sacrificing self-care, opening yourself up to receiving praise, and the value of learning to quit things just to prove to yourself that you can.

We also talk about:

Coming back to compassion
Not changing yourself for others
Opening up + being able to receive
Self-care, self-love, + self-help
Being able to separate yourself from negative thoughts
Coping with emotional eating
Changing your relationship with alcohol

Ep. 307 - Reset Your Body + Brain with Max Lugavere Mar 17, 2020

Show notes

THE INTERVIEW

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 truth is that most of us already know that there are things in our lives that we really shouldn’t put in, on, or around our bodies, but there’s such a disconnect between what we know and what we do. We dig into why this disconnect exists, break down what it means to live a genius life, argue the merits of plant-based diets, and learn the heart-wrenching story behind why Max became so invested in the relationship between our food and our cognition.

We also talk about:

How unhealthy foods often make the most outlandish health claims
The plant-based trend
The massive problem with food waste
Why everyone should prioritize protein
What to look for when you are consuming animal protein
Integrating rest into your life + optimizing your sleep
White fat vs brown fat
The effects of melatonin on the body

Ep. 306 - Lindsey on Harnessing the Power of Overwhelm Mar 12, 2020

Show notes

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
Using breathwork to center yourself
Harnessing your daydreams

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

Show notes

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
Forgiveness within relationships

Ep. 304 - Honest Look at Authenticity with Krista Mar 05, 2020

Show notes

CATCH UP WITH K + L

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
