This week, renowned professor of psychology and neuroscience Charan Ranganath, Ph.D. joins Lindsey to unravel the intricacies of our memory. With shocking insights from his new book, “Why We Remember,” Charan shows us that our brains aren't designed to retain everything but rather to preserve what truly impacts our journey through life.

Plus, find out how subtle lifestyle shifts like practicing mindfulness, embracing novelty, and leaning into curiosity can improve our memory.  Get ready to challenge your beliefs about your mind, trauma, and depression, as Charan takes us through the science of why we think and feel the way we do.

You might know Sara Kuburic as the Millennial Therapist on Instagram, where she shares insanely relatable advice about navigating the human experience with her 1.6 million followers. Sara’s new book, It’s On Me, encourages us to get to know ourselves fully and take responsibility for our lives.  In this episode, Sara opens up to Krista about her struggles with panic attacks and a dissociation from her body – a deep state of suffering that eventually led her to a life of authenticity. When we ignore the signs our body sends us, we ignore the parts of ourselves that are longing to be seen, nurtured, and healed.  Sara talks us through her journey of accepting her highly sensitive nature and beginning to connect the dots between what she was feeling in her body and the parts of her life that required change. She empowers us to tune out the noise of everyday life, tune into our own beings, and ask ourselves, ‘who am I really?’ to find true peace and freedom within.  We also talk about: Why searching for purpose can be painful Healing abusive relationships with our bodies Acknowledging your suffering Authenticity vs. self loss The ups and downs of discovering yourself Why self awareness is the ultimate self care  Why we must engage with life fully Resources:  Instagram: @millennial.therapist Website: www.sara-kuburic.com Sponsors: AG1 | Try AG1 and get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D3+K2 AND 5 free AG1 Travel Packs with your first purchase exclusively at drinkAG1.com/ALMOST30.

Get ready to laugh (and cry a little bit) during this insanely relatable conversation between Krista and her actor-director-musician BFF, Joey Pollari! Krista and Joey chat about the ways we may be overusing “therapy talk” – a.k.a. things only you and your therapist talk about – in our relationships. Instead of slapping labels on someone or going overboard with “honest feedback,” sometimes it’s best to lead with how we’re actually feeling.  Krista and Joey recount stories of their own shortcomings in relationships as well as how they’ve grown in their self-awareness and communication skills. At the end of the day, therapy is one of our greatest tools for evolution, but learning how to integrate what we do in therapy with our real-time interactions is the ultimate relationship game changer! We also talk about: Why birthdays are triggering  Giving loving feedback in relationship The HR-ification of relationships Boundaries vs. walls “Spiritual” people on dating apps  Forgiveness + accepting people The power of stating your emotions Why labels aren’t effective tools for healing Raising the bar in dating  The myth of being “special”  Going after your creative dreams  Resources:  Youtube: @joey_pollari   Instagram: @joeypollari   Twitter: joeypollari   Music: linktr.ee/joeypollari   Sponsors: Seed | Visit seed.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 to redeem 30% off your first month of Seed's DS-01® Daily Synbiotic.  Jenni Kayne | Find your forever pieces at jennikayne.com and get 15% off your first order when you use code ALMOST30 at checkout.  Dreamland | Go to dreamlandbabyco.com and enter code ALMOST30 at checkout to receive 20% off sitewide + free shipping.  Dose | Get 15% off your first order, plus an additional 15% off if you subscribe for a monthly delivery!

You’ll learn tools to manage your emotional reactions, fully accept your loved ones, and release the obsession with what others think of you.  Of course, family isn’t the only place your shadow can surface unexpectedly.

Do kegels actually work? Is painful sex normal? How can breathing help alleviate pelvic tension and pain? In this episode, we go there and answer all of your burning questions with Dr. Sonia Bahlani, who is an expert in the fields of gynecology and urology―sought purposefully because she was interested in helping patients with pelvic pain.  In her efforts to bring the topics of pelvic pain and women’s sexual health out from behind closed doors and find real, proven solutions for those in pain, Dr. Bahlani joins Lindsey to discuss the key to feeling good “down there,” starting with what exactly is your pelvic floor. She provides valuable insight on what might be causing your pain, what you can expect in a doctor’s office and what to do at home. So much of women’s sexual health remains unexplored, leaving us to wonder and question if specific experiences are normal…but no more. We’re deeply grateful to welcome Dr. Bahlani to the show to unpack the many misconceptions about this important topic.  We also talk about: What is your pelvic floor How to connect with your pelvic floor The relationship between your jaw + pelvic floor Pain during sex: Why it’s happening + what to do  The importance of pleasurable sex + foreplay Women’s healthcare in the U.S. Everyday habits to support your pelvic floor Understanding your urination habits The truth about kegels  Side effects of birth control Resources:  Instagram: @pelvicpaindoc TikTok: @pelvicpaindoc Website: pelvicpaindoc.com Book: Dr. Sonia's Guide to Navigating Pelvic Pain Sponsors: Hatch | Hatch is offering $20 off your purchase of a Hatch Restore 2 and free shipping at hatch.co/almost30.  AG1 | Go to drinkAG1.com/ALMOST30 and get a FREE 1-year supply of vitamin D + 5 free AG1 travel packs with your first purchase.

Welcome back to part two of Krista’s conversation with Tinx, a lifestyle creator, advice expert, podcast host and author of The Shift: Change your Perspective, Not Yourself. In this episode, Krista and Tinx talk about what it means to date in today’s day and age.  The true meaning of a relationship isn’t to get married, but to go on a self-discovery journey. As Tinx puts it, “To get your heart broken is to live.” Plus, the two share a vulnerable conversation on their struggles with body image, why they feel like the topic is taboo, and a new approach the collective should consider when thinking about food + self-image.  We also talk about: Purgatory vs. the breakup  Heartbreak antibodies Generational differences on dating What is the box theory Scarcity mindset in relationships Trolls on the internet  Tinx’s body image journey  The media, diet culture + fads  Resources:  The Shift: Change Your Perspective, Not Yourself is available now at www.theshift-book.com Instagram: @tinx  TikTok: @tinx Sponsors: Botanic Tonics | Use code ALMOST30 for $40 off your first purchase.  JS Health | Go to us.jshealthvitamins.com/a30 and use code ALMOST30 at checkout for 20% off your purchase.

Does self acceptance mean no self-improvement? When do we lean into self-development practices and when do we just accept ourselves as we are? In this solo episode, Krista shares tangible steps on how to balance self-love + self-improvement because—spoiler—the two ways of being can co-exist.  When you love yourself, there’s a vibrancy to your energy that supports you to live a productive life, i.e., you might give back to your community, spend your free time in nature or leave an impact on your family and friends.  The idea that we need to control or manage who we are, so that we don’t overeat, spend an excess amount of time on our phones or stay in our homes for days on end is interesting to think about and a topic Krista doesn’t hold back on.  We also talk about: The spiritual ego  Mindful eating + being present What it means to be in control Befriending the manager part of us How to be self-accepting  Scheduling in time for complacency Celebrating through the process Understanding perfectionist tendencies Being mindful of self-loathing or hate Resources:  Instagram: @itskrista Website: itskrista.co True Essence Retreat | A 4 night, 5 day transformational women’s retreat in Ibiza, Spain from October 4-8, 2023.

In this solo, K+L talk about relationships and breakups, sharing their personal experiences, along with tangible advice for anyone who finds themselves in a single season. Though relationship endings can be uncomfortable and difficult, ultimately it is for your greatest good.  When a relationship ends, you’re presented with an invitation to enter a new season of your life, featuring new experiences and potentially a new version of you. K+L dive deep into societal expectations of marriage and love, the importance of letting go of the need to control and how to be in a conscious relationship (with yourself or partner).  We also talk about: Idolizing your ex Feeling societal pressure Numbing or controlling your experience Sensing other people's opinions The importance of contrast Being in + feeling your full emotions Stepping into your single season Being radically honest with yourself Resources:  Instagram: @itskrista & @lindseysimcik Episode Related Resources:  589.

In Oprah Winfrey’s words, Danielle LaPorte “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters,” and here at Almost 30, we couldn’t agree more.  We’re so grateful to welcome Danielle back on the show. In this episode, Krista + Danielle, talk about the true meaning of spirituality and concepts of her recently published book, How to Be Loving…when your heart is breaking open and the world is waking up.  Danielle believes that we should focus less on fixing ourselves because when we focus on living from our heart center, anything that’s not in alignment with that Light falls away. Get ready for a nuanced perspective on the life changing power of self compassion, shadow work and being more receptive to higher guidance. We also talk about: Unwounded parts of self Taking breaks in life  Having spiritual seasons Striving for success + self acceptance  The universe + selfishness  Desire + aversion  Living from your heart  Manifesting with intention Defining the law of attraction Resources:  Website: daniellelaporte.com Instagram: @daniellelaporte Twitter: @daniellelaporte Book: How To Be Loving Sponsors: Babbel | Get 55% off your Babbel subscription at babbel.com/ALMOST30.

In this solo episode, Krista talks about how relationship (whether friendship, romantic or familial) breakups and endings can provide you with an opportunity to grow and be who you really are, as well as reclaim the parts of you that have been lost and step into more magnetism and truth.  Recently, she vulnerably shared about the ending of her 10-year partnership and in this episode, she dives into conscious uncoupling. Instead of trying to be perfect or make someone else be perfect, sometimes setting each other free is the greatest act of love. In the end, if it’s best for you, it’s best for them too.  While your decisions might not make sense to others, if you hear the call, it's important to listen, process and act on your truth.  We also talk about: Ending relationships  Stepping into truth + love  Respecting the process How to support your friends  Making hard decisions Letting go of people pleasing tendencies Being yourself in relationships How perfectionism is not love Liberating the other person + yourself  Resources: Instagram: @itskrista Related Program: The Sacredness of Being Single Related Episode: How to Know and When to Let Go Sponsors: CURED | Grab Zen and CBN in the Sleep Bundle for an extra 20% off of CURED’s already discounted price by visiting curednutrition.com/almost30 and using the coupon code “ALMOST30” at checkout.  IQ Bar | Get 20% off all IQBAR products.

It’s no surprise to the Almost 30 community that your childhood trauma and wounds can shape your adult life. Vienna Pharaon knows this all too well. A licensed marriage and family therapist, and one of New York City’s most sought-after relationship therapists, she has practiced therapy for more than fifteen years and is the founder and owner of the group practice Mindful Marriage and Family Therapy.  Today, she joins Krista on the show to discuss her first book, The Origins of You. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been in therapy for decades, or if therapy just isn’t for you. It doesn’t matter if you have countless memories from childhood, or none at all. All that matters is having a willingness to look inside, dig deep, and commit to building the life you want.  In this episode, Krista and Vienna discuss how to fully understand the family dynamics and dysfunctions that created what she calls “origin wounds,” as well as the practical work needed to heal our wounds and leave behind the limiting beliefs and behaviors that don’t serve us. We also talk about: Why the “firsts” in your life are important Understanding your family patterns  Remembering your childhood wounds  Fear about recalling the past  What it means to be hypervigilant Living in victim mentality + avoiding healing How there will always be a need to heal + grow  Examples of people unpacking their wounds Resources: Instagram: @mindfulmft    Facebook: Mindful Marriage and Family Therapy Book: The Origins of You Sponsors: Vive Organic | Visit viveorganic.com and use code ALMOST30 at checkout for 15% off your first product.

Are you jealous of something or someone? What scares you? Where do you see friction in your life? As dreams grow, fears do too. Few know this as well as Mel Robbins. A New York Times Bestselling author and self-publishing phenom, Mel’s work includes The High 5 Habit, The 5 Second Rule, and The Mel Robbins Podcast. Her female-led media company produces provocative, life-changing content, with millions of books sold, billions of video views, six #1 audiobooks, and one of the most viewed TEDx talks in the world.   In this episode, Mel teaches us about unveiling desires, following dreams and shifting identities. And perhaps most importantly: calling your own bullshit.  We learn how to discover, follow and commit to what we truly want through emotions that are usually identified as negative. Mel opens up about the courage it took her to overcome imposter syndrome – in spite of being one of the most successful speakers – in order to launch her podcast and how she learned to liberate herself of labels. To put it simply, Mel and K+L covered and uncovered a lot, learned new tools and had major perspective shifts, and their hope is the same for you! We also talk about: Imposter syndrome Why your fears grow concurrently with your dreams Learning from jealousy How to get in touch with your true desires  Steps to approach your goals easily The research behind procrastination  The science behind motivating yourself Moving into a space of self-love and motivation Learning attachment styles in relationships  The truth behind narcissism and narcissistic tendencies  How social media affects our interpersonal connections Why adult friendships are so hard  The natural evolution of friendship   Resources: The Mel Robbins Podcast: Listen on Apple or Spotify YouTube: @melrobbins Instagram: melrobbins Website: melrobbins.com Books: melrobbins.com/books   Episode Related Resources:  Blog: Change Your Life With The High 5 Habit from Mel Robbins Watch Episode 460 on YouTube Listen to Episode 460 on Apple Podcasts or Spotify   Sponsors: The Invitation | A Relationship Breakup Series.

Over the years, Almost 30 has delved into divination in many of its varying forms, but this is the first episode featuring a conversation on numerology.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the amount of self-help information, courses and books that are at your disposal? Time and time again, K+L have found that the simplest methods, like breathing, meditation…and tapping, are some of the best techniques to ground and open their hearts.  In this episode, Lindsey and Brad Yates, aka Tapping with Brad, discuss the roots of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT, also known as tapping), a practice that helps to shift your mindset, clear anxiety and move stuck energy. Sometimes all you need to do is put down your phone and remember that freedom is literally at your fingertips.  We also talk about: What are meridian points  The benefits of tapping  How to move stuck energy  The problem with affirmations Manifest through EFT   Clear anxiety and shift your mindset There’s no such thing as “negative” emotions   Resources: Book: Freedom At Your Fingertips Children’s Book: The Wizard’s Wish  Documentary: The Tapping Solution  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/tapwithbrad Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TapWithBrad Instagram: http://instagram.com/tapwithbrad Twitter: http://twitter.com/tapwithbrad TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tapwithbrad Website: www.tapwithbrad.com    More Resources: Building a Legacy of Love by Christie Burn Yates Illusions by Richard Bach   Sponsors: Seed | Visit seed.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 to redeem 20% off.  Mud/Wtr | Go to mudwtr.com/a30 to support the show and use code A30 for 15% off.  LMNT | Get 8 single serving packets FREE with any LMNT order at DrinkLMNT.com/ALMOST30.  HelloFresh | Go to HelloFresh.com/60almost30 and use code 60almost30 for 60% off plus free shipping.  To advertise on our podcast, please reach out to [email protected] or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/Almost30.    Learn More: almost30.com/learn almost30.com/morningmicrodose almost30.com/courses    Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Is there just one “you”? We have been taught that we have a single identity, but when the voices inside our heads don’t match our own self perception, emotions heighten and we might even question our entire existence. Want to know a little secret? You’re not alone in feeling this way, but feel liberated in knowing that there are no “bad” parts of you.  Dr. Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems (IFS) model has been transforming psychology for decades and we are honored to have him on the show to talk about his new book “No Bad Parts.” In this episode, you’ll learn what IFS is and why it has been so effective in areas such as trauma recovery.  You’ll also hear role play with both K+L, as Dr. Schwartz walks them through uncovering their own abandoned parts. When we learn to love all of our parts, we can learn to love all people, and ultimately this can help heal ourselves and the world.  We also talk about: What is the Internal Family System model?  The importance of honoring and communicating with our parts Making often maligned parts into powerful allies How IFS reveals that there are no bad parts K+L on their abandoned parts  Psychedelics and IFS  The power of your “protector” part   Resources: Website: www.ifs-institute.com  Instagram: @internalfamilysystems   Facebook: @InternalFamilySystems  Twitter: @IFS_Model  LinkedIn: IFS Institute  No Bad Parts The Evolution of The Internal Family Systems Model  The Larger Self   Books: Internal Family Systems: Skills Training Manual Many Minds, One Self You Are The One You've Been Waiting For The Mosaic Mind Internal Family Systems Therapy - 2nd Edition Introduction to the Internal Family Systems Model Level 1 Bundle: Internal Family Systems Therapy - 2nd Edition, Introduction to the Internal Family Systems Model, Mosaic Mind   Sponsors: Analemma Water | Try Analemma water at coherent-water.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off.  IQ Bar | Get 20% off all IQBar products, plus get FREE shipping.

Vivek Ramaswamy is a New York Times bestselling author and a successful entrepreneur, who joins Krista on the podcast to discuss the importance of diversity of thought. A first-generation American, he has founded multibillion-dollar enterprises, led a biotech company as a CEO and studied at Ivy League universities.  Now, in his latest book, Woke Inc., he takes us behind the scenes into corporate boardrooms, five-star conferences, university classrooms and more, to reveal the industrial complex that has divided us as a society. In this episode, Vivek and Krista discuss how America’s elites prey on our innermost insecurities about who we really are. Vivek not only rips back the curtain on the new corporatist agenda, but also offers a way forward—exploring what it means to be an American today.  We also talk about: What makes a healthy democratic society The importance of diversity of thought Why society latches onto organizing principles  The negative impacts of cancel culture and “wokeness” Racism in the United States today The hypocrisy of corporations  Resources: Twitter:  @VivekGRamaswamy Facebook: Vivek Ramaswamy Instagram: vivekgramaswamy Book:  Woke, Inc.  Related Content: Listen to Episode 413.

In this solo episode, Krista opens her heart for a deeply personal and vulnerable conversation about how to know and when to let go. In a society obsessed with adding more into our lives via to-do lists, courses, books, posts, etc., we hardly ever stop to think about what we can release.  Krista has found that when she let go of relationships, careers, friendships and parts of herself that were no longer aligned, she experienced greater expansion, growth and ultimately, love. In order to create a life you love, you have to create space—and that’s what this episode is all about.  To put it simply, you cannot open the door to the future you seek while holding onto your past…and when love no longer helps us to be the person we want to be, it’s time to let go.  We also talk about: Why we over consume to protect ourselves Letting go of relationships and careers What is the Life Edit program How to create space to receive clarity  The pain of leaving people behind  Following your heart and soul  Consciously uncoupling  The importance of choosing again and again  Recognizing pain as a portal towards growth  Creating the future you seek Seeing forgiveness as freedom  Empowering yourself to take action  Resources: Instagram: @itskrista The Life Edit program   Sponsors: Seed | Visit seed.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 to redeem 20% off your first month of Seed's DS-01® Daily Synbiotic.  IQ Bar | Get 20% off all IQBAR products.

Do you ever feel like you’re constantly being told to be positive? Whether its through mantras like “good vibes only” and “look on the brightside,” not to mention the endless inspirational quotes and often well intended advice (both online and off), it can feel like silencing our emotions is the only way to live a “happy life.” Whitney Goodman is a radically honest psychotherapist, whose new book, Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real In A World Obsessed With Being Happy, shows readers how to shift the goal from being happy to being authentic in order to live fully. A millennial on a quest to make mental health information accessible and easy to understand, Whitney helps people who want to improve their relationships and emotional wellness. In this episode, Lindsey and Whitney unpack how damaging toxic positivity can be to both ourselves and our relationships. She also provides us with tangible tools on how to work through and process difficult emotions to experience a more fulfilled and authentic life.  We also talk about: What is toxic positivity  How to hold space for yourself and others  Developing a solid foundation in your relationships  Feeling connected to your body Recognizing and preventing burn out  Unpacking your lifestyle and your systems  Why humans resist loneliness and change Releasing the need to control your emotions Resources: Read: Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy Instagram: @sitwithwhit Sponsors: Osea | Head to oseamalibu.com and use code ALMOST30 for 10% off.  Issuu | Get started with Issuu today for FREE or sign up for an annual premium account and get 50% off when you go to issuu.com/podcast and use promo code ALMOST30.

The iconic business leader, Bozoma Saint John, comes on the show to discuss her latest venture—her memoir, The Urgent Life. She takes readers through the numbing days of multiple griefs and the courage which these sparked in her to live a life in accordance with her values. K+L have a meaningful, vulnerable conversation that, despites its heavy topics, still features a lot of laughter (one of the many reasons they love Bozoma).  In this episode, the girls dive deep into why Bozoma decided to live life urgently. Her life has been encompassed by many highs and lows, one of which was the death of her husband, Peter. No stranger to adversity, Bozoma recounts life’s tragedies and how she learned to build a remarkable life worth living (even in her brokenness).  Bozoma’s story is heartbreakingly beautiful, though many of its themes are not uncommon. Our hope is this conversation will inspire any listener who has loved, mourned and is finding their way forward, to live life to the fullest.  We also talk about: Being a Black woman in corporate America Embracing her identity unapologetically  Knowing when to make a career change  Wrestling with the ego and learning to let go of identities  Trusting the Soul to light the path forward  Dealing with the loss of her husband and daughter  Navigating and carrying two different types of grief  How grief shifted her perspective on life and self  The challenges of motherhood and pursuing a career  Giving her daughter an empowered voice within the house Defining urgency (Hint: it’s about intention!)

We are so thrilled to welcome back to the show, Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author, award-winning storyteller, podcast host, and former monk, dedicated to helping people train their mind for peace and purpose every day. He recently released his second book, “8 Rules of Love: How to Find It, Keep It, and Let It Go.”  The truth is, nobody sits down and teaches us love—how to give and fully receive it. Oftentimes, our idea of romance is based on pop culture or movies, but love is nuanced and should be cherished and cultivated. All too often, people feel lonely (even when in a relationship) and lack the fundamental tools needed to make their partnerships last.  That’s why in this episode, Jay and Krista go deep and talk about specific, actionable steps to help you develop the skills to practice and nurture love, so that you can better love yourself, others and the world around you.  We also talk about: Why many people feel lonely in relationship  Cultural expectations of love  How social media and pop culture have perpetuated a false sense of love  The difference between solitude and loneliness  What love is not (Hint: attraction, attention seeking, validation and control)  Defining love through three main components How to grow with your partner (even if you’re growing at a different pace) The varying roles in a relationship—”fixer,” “dependent,” and “supporter” Jay’s second book, 8 Rules of Love is available for purchase at 8RulesofLove.com and wherever books are sold!

Join Lindsey for this honest and revealing solo journey into the energetics of distraction and focus. Recently back from an Instagram hiatus, she’s observed some pretty stark truths about her own behavior, and shares how she’s using those lessons to discover a truer, deeper sense of self. But make no mistake. There is no right and wrong at play today. Your distractions are not faults to fix; they are merely reactions we may seek to further understand.  We’re not blaming the phone. We’re not blaming the gym, or social media, or even other people. We’re getting curious about why we do the things we do – replacing the noise of guilt and shame with the stillness and quiet of focus.   We also talk about: Finding compassion for self  Looking back at her single season  Reasons we lean into distractions How can distraction serve us Examples of distraction  Getting curious with your own behavior  Energetics of distraction Reclaiming your focus  Practices for getting curious  Resources: Group Program: Sacredness of Being Single Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups To advertise on our podcast, please reach out to [email protected] or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/Almost30.

Maryam Hasnaa is a profound natural resource of innate wisdom and relational insight. She's also not someone who sits down for in-depth interviews very often, so it was really beautiful, especially, to have her in the studio for this powerful extended conversation. In this, part one of K+L’s inspired chat with Maryam, you'll learn a lot about energetics. You'll learn a lot about authenticity and how to shift your energy. You will learn a lot about energy matching, hooking, sacred pauses – all of these really powerful interpersonal concepts that will truly change your life if you understand and apply them. Don’t miss part two, Thursday of this week, as this conversation is continued, delving deeper into healthy relationships, relationship templates, soul contracts, evolving and devolving, and much more in that realm of energetic wellness.  We also talk about: Energetics of conspiracy theories  What is energy matching? Becoming neutral – being in flow   Finding our authentic response  How/when we learn to energy match  Getting clear – what’s mine in the present moment?

Jessie Inchauspé, AKA, Glucose Goddess, is a biochemist with a message for the world on clean eating and vibrant living. She joins K+L in the studio for a star seed transmission that will change how you think about full-body health – really. And it all comes down to our blood sugar. We unpack the science of cravings; skin health and hormones; good (and bad) smoothies; healthy blood sugar ranges; lifestyle factors like caffeine, exercise, and stress; and why glucose levels are important – even if you're not diabetic. The conversation around blood sugar is incredibly important. It's long awaited and long overdue for us to be mindful about this aspect of our health. And Jessie is the perfect vessel to deliver this important science-backed message to the community.  We also talk about: How breaking her back split her mind Becoming the Glucose Goddess Why the focus on glucose?

Here on Almost 30, we like to talk about spirituality, health, and wellness – and this fascinating conversation marries all three subjects in a way that we know you'll love. K+L chat with Mario Brainovic of Analemma, a cosmically inspired technology company that’s on a mission to infuse consciousness (back) into all of the world’s water. We’re welcoming in some new and inspiring ideas for this one, as we do a dive deep on the research, the science, and the significance of structured water. In short, the new information presented in this conversation will change how you see and interact with water forever. Don’t worry – it all makes perfect sense as soon as we get into it.  It’s a concept Mario has been developing for fifteen years, but one that’s still brand new on the scene in terms of awareness and understanding. We’re excited for you all to hear the studies that they've done with people, and with plants, that prove how structured water affects your light body, as well as your ability to grow, thrive and be vibrant. In addition to the technology, we talk a lot about the state of water today, access to structured water around the world, and what Mario sees as the future of water – and life as we know it.

Your brain changes when you're on birth control, that’s just the reality of it. The conversation around birth control and contraception, and even fertility, is one we've been having for a while on the podcast. It’s an incredibly complex subject and one we’re excited to delve further into with Dr. Sarah E. Hill. Dr. Sarah is the author of Your Brain On Birth Control, and she’s one the world’s foremost leaders on women’s health, especially as it relates to hormonal birth control and what influence it has on our bodies, our brains, and our lives. Our goal with this one is not to shame anyone that's on birth control, or an IUD, or whatever works best for you. Our goal is to always bring you leading-edge, curious conversations that empower you to explore these topics and concepts on your own – in your sovereignty – and then make the best decision that works for you. We also talk about: Your brain on birth control Lifting the veil  Birth control and feminism  Social dynamic of going on the pill The science of synthetic hormones  Learning about estrogen  Partner preferences, on vs. off True or false?

If you're listening to this podcast, you probably are already doing a lot of work, a lot of personal growth work, a lot of therapy, a lot of courses, a lot of programs. You're probably following all the right quote accounts and all the right inspirational creators – all of it, all of it, all of it. But today, we ask: Why? This special solo episode with Krista is all about bringing our intentions into question. Especially in 2023, our intention behind all of these personal growth and self-development practices is critically important. Our intention is truly everything – it even changes our molecules! And without it, we end up on a negative feedback loop, right where we started. We also talk about: Intention behind self-development work  Showing gratitude for nourishment Enjoying food vs. negative thoughts  Internal Family Systems Energetics of intention  Accepting who we are Owning the path of an empath Practices for getting right on the inside  Resources: Finding Everything in Nothing: Darkness Retreat Recap #569 Use This Method for a Better Relationship with Your Body #522 Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Today’s special heart-filled episode is a session from last summer’s Camp Almost 30, Becoming the One. It’s presented beautifully by Sheleana Aiyana, empowerment leader and author of the life-changing relationship and self-development book, Becoming the One: Heal Your Past, Transform Your Relationship Patterns, and Come Home to Yourself. We really love the way in which Sheleana has been able to take her own experience, whether it's in relationship with self or others, and her own traumas – and really transform them into potent and powerful lessons for us all to really learn from and heal through. Sheleana talks about building a secure, loving relationship with self; setting boundaries; connecting with your inner child; and so much more as she takes a few thoughtful questions from attendees. Her groundedness and ability to channel what's true is immensely powerful. We’re so excited to present this sneak peek of club membership to listeners, today.  If you are inspired by this session, please join us for Almost 30 Space Camp coming up later this month! It's absolutely free – head to almost30.com/space-camp to reserve your spot now. Space is limited. We will see you there!

Danielle Beinstein is an astrocartographer, an expert in zodiac charts, how to read them, and what different houses and alignments might mean for your lived experience. In this conversation with Krista, she touches on everything from the basics of astrocartography and finding oneself, to media programming and social media’s toxic effect on our collective psyche.  They also unpack the memeification of astrology and relationships, both external and internal, pointing out the limiting nature of definitive, distilled messaging in the space. We leave with a detailed look at the upcoming energetics of 2023, which planets look to step into the spotlight – and highlight a handful of important eclipses on the celestial calendar. We also talk about: Dropping in to self-love Relationships, perfectionism, and social media Going deeper, not wider  Moving energy through our body How locations affect our experience Intro to astrocartography How to read your chart  Using astrology to find soul alignment Applying chart readings to relationships How are we looking for 2023?

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?

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  Resources: Read: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk Sky Cave Retreats: @skycaveretreats Website: skycaveretreats.com Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

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?

On this fine Thursday, Lindsey’s dropping in for an introspective solo episode reflecting on patience. Deeply considering and doing research on the subject, she talks about the neuroscience of patience, how it shows up in our lives, and how we can walk through moments of impatience to a more centered place of acceptance and presence. 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?

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. We also talk about: Living with inner peace and alignment The nervous system’s connection to mental health  The science of remembering  Honoring the nervous system as the center of self Risks of hiding ourselves away  Honesty (objective) vs. self-criticism (subjective) You are not the critical voice in your head Saying your truth – where’s the line?

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  Resources: Read: This Is Your Brain on Food Website: umanaidoomd.com Instagram: @drumanaidoo Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

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 Resources: Read: Conscious Loving by Gay and Katie Hendricks Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Today, we welcome back a cosmically gifted former guest to the podcast. Lee Harris is a channel to higher, multidimensional voices known as The Z’s. They’re responsible for his current work, a book series titled Conversations with The Z's, and for his incredibly informed and introspective perspective on the world around us – seen and unseen.  The energetic give-and-take among these three activated hearts flows like music. He’s truly a mind-blowing conversationalist, and seems to pick up on a few psychic vibrations throughout the session.  K+L interview the Z’s through Lee in this, part one, of their expansive conversation.

In this intimate solo episode, Lindsey unpacks clearing conversations – what they are, why we should have them, and how they can evolve our relationships. You’ll learn all about what clearing conversations are as she opens her heart about how the practice has helped her own relationships evolve and expand for the better. Let’s be honest, it can be challenging to initiate clearing conversations; Lindsey shares how she overcomes these fears out of a place of love for the person on the other side. We also hear about how K+L use this practice to keep their own relationship strong. Be prepared to take several mental notes from this one as we get a living example of the high value that K+L place on their connection with one another, and several actionable takeaways that we can apply in our own lives to build a stronger bridge of trust with the people closest to us.

Bestselling poet and author, Rupi Kaur, joins Krista for an intimate conversation on where she’s at in her life – mentally, emotionally, physically – as she nears her thirtieth birthday. In this raw, honest conversation, Rupi opens up about the deep grief she feels for herself, the mounting pressure that her success has brought into her life, and the realization that she needed time away from the noise. She also takes us behind the scenes on the process of writing her latest, Healing Through Writing, a book of prompts and writing exercises that began as a personal practice to stimulate creative ideas. On that subject, Rupi adds that each and every person is innately creative – and invites us to embrace and cherish that energy in whatever way we can.

It happened so fast that maybe you missed it – but, with only ten weeks of inspired and aligned planning, Lindsey and Sean celebrated their marriage a few weeks back. Hosting a non-traditional two-day event, they made their own dreams come true with friends and family in New York City and set the standard for their life together from this point on. Lindsey drops in for this intimate solo episode to talk about the important energetically aligned decisions that went into her wedding weekend, how she and Sean built an even deeper trust in one another by splitting up planning duties, and how – even with only two weeks to find hair and makeup artists – she never spiraled under the pressure of it all.

Prolific author and poet, Diego Perez, aka Yung Pueblo, sits with Lindsey for this special episode on the powers of meditation, living in partnership, the creative process, and so much more. We also talk about Lighter, his new book, inspired by the feeling of shedding weight and past traumas he’s experienced through his advanced meditation practice. Diego shares some great wedding tips and explains how he and his wife go ten, sometimes forty-five, days at a time without seeing or speaking to one another at meditation retreats – and how finding the practice has changed his worldview forever.  It might sound cliche, but this conversation will leave you feeling lighter. Diego’s words and deep wisdom, especially outside of the questionable confines of social media (which we also unpack), are powerful and resonant.  We also talk about: Emotional immaturity vs. maturity  Preventative communication Meditation practice Finding your intuition Living in partnership Diego’s creative process  Who is Yung Pueblo?

In today’s solo episode, Krista drops in for part two of her deep dive on empathy, codependency, and enmeshment to break down their similarities and importance differences. Who are you, really? And why is it so hard for highly sensitive people to untangle the answer from everything around them? Your empathic gifts don’t need to be a weight on your life, or a curtain blocking the light from coming through. If understood and acknowledged from a place of personal love and acceptance, they can be your superpower. We all have some of it within us; Krista gets extra personal in this one to illustrate that very point.  We also talk about: Powers of an empath Intro to codependency  Krista’s childhood denying her gifts  Loyalty vs. low self-worth Energy matching for safety  Empathy as performance Validate me, internet  Speaking + living in truth Attachment styles Resources: How to Thrive as an Empath: Understand The Shadow Side and Your Gifts #540 Healing The Mother Wound With Krista Williams #407 Krista Williams on Her Silent Retreat Experience #256 Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Divine musician, vegan foods entrepreneur, and spiritual soul guide, Julie Piatt, joins Krista for her second appearance on the show as they take the temperature of the world and greater community within it. The results? Radical evolution is here to stay. Julie explains that the power of the divine feminine is on the rise and provides practices which allow us to recognize and channel it.

Peter Crone is a modern-day thought leader who’s unafraid to speak, and live, his truth. He joins Krista today for a deeply expansive and thought provoking episode where they untangle the complexities of the masculine/feminine dynamic, both in an ideal (Nirvana-state, as he describes it) and in the strained environment of our current reality. He’s the kind of person who elicits a feeling of hope for all of us, that what pains us or challenges us may, not only be washed away in an instant, but be repurposed as fuel for further evolution, for allowing us to unlock the next plane of consciousness and enlightenment.  It all sounds so easy, and at times, so hard. But he reminds us of the deep beauty contained in the process itself. The elevation of this conversation sheds light on many perspectives that we overlook in our day-to-day lives, perspectives that determine our being and who we will, or can, become. Settle in for a deep one, family. We also talk about: Presence is beauty  How words affect us reveals how we really feel Identifying a victim mindset Frequency precedes form Criticism vs. encouragement   The mechanism of lying The potential in masculinity  Being willing to think, and live, differently Resources: Instagram: @petercrone Linkedin: The Mind Architect YouTube: Peter Crone Facebook: Peter Crone The Mind Architect Mastermind: Free Your Mind Website: petercrone.com Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Vylana Marcus is on a mission to share the divine process of healing and evolution, of continual death and rebirth, that she’s experienced since 2020. She drops in for this juicy (and honest) conversation on the true meaning of shadow work, healing the complicated sister wound, her high-vibe soul partnership with Aubrey, and so much more. Channeled through Vylana’s clarity and courage, we’re invited into taboo subjects like anger, even rage – sex and intimacy, such as the God energy of the orgasm. Oh yeah, we’re going there. She describes how all of these lessons have culminated in a recently recorded album (and visual production) that's been her life’s work, Goddess Rising. She beams as the artworks being a beacon of healing and community for – well, people like you, in like-minded, spiritually empowered, and curious communities like this.

Empaths of the world – you may have seen, or felt, this one coming. Krista’s been open and expressive about her ongoing journey of exploring the oceanic depths of her ability to sense, to feel, and to absorb the emotions and energies around her, so it’s only right that we sit down as a community to unpack what she’s learned. The truth is that empathy means deeply caring for everyone and everything, but the answer in maintaining, even thriving, amidst all of that input is to focus on self. Self-care and energetic cleansing are great for the empathic souls within all of us.

It’s a touchy topic that’s been in the zeitgeist for the last couple of years – either spurred by our general societal upheaval and the change it’s bringing about within people, something less, or something even more – friend break ups are sometimes a part of life. And they can be even more painful than breaking things off in a romantic relationship. There’s often more time invested and thus, more depth. More experience and trust. K+L drop in for today’s solo episode to discuss this very thing. When do you know it’s time to break up with a friend? What are the signs, both within yourself and between the two of you, that might be clues that something is off? And, most importantly, how do you talk about it with them? Or, do you at all? We can all agree at this point in our evolution that toxicity and rudeness are not the answers. So, how do we approach this change with grace? With compassion and understanding? Tune in to get real life advice from these two open hearts. We also talk about: How do you know when it's time to break up with a friend? Listening to your body’s clues Having a conversation vs. letting it dissolve  What might cause a friendship breakup?

Join Krista in this warm hug of a roundtable conversation featuring two close friends of the podcast, Jordan Younger and Jenna Zoe, as they talk about evolving (and dying) during periods of rapid change, staying true to ourselves and each other every day, and being a source of energy and inspiration for those around us without letting it drain us in a negative way.

We all have so much to learn from his grounded mindset, his approach to purpose and impact, and his appreciation for life’s many beautiful gifts.

We are completely burning ourselves out – full stop.  In this stream-of-consciousness solo episode, Krista delves into her perceptions of our current reality, specifically, that related to the deepening bond between capitalism and modern feminism.  What does it mean to be a feminist in 2022? Or, more importantly, what are we being told that it means? How has a grinding life of hustling and climbing the corporate ladder become so much more heavily favored over a loving, soft, nurturing life at home raising a family? There’s got to be room for all shades of the feminine palette. Krista opens the door to a wider experience, for a more inclusive ideology that, instead of shaming or shutting people out, makes space for respect, freedom, and happiness for all of the many manifestations of our time here on earth. We also talk about: The connections between modern feminism + capitalism  Harmful social norms + where they came from Reclaiming words that were taken from us Giving up the negative baggage  Living in true freedom + choice Embracing all parts of us as divine  Sponsors: Get discount codes sent directly to your phone.

Conscious relationship... It's one of the most common buzzwords that's in the relational space right now. It can bring up confusion, angst, and other complicated emotions we don’t want to be spending too much time in. So, what is it? And how can we practice it, or be ready for it, when the time comes? In this episode, Lindsey walks us through what she thought a relationship should be before finding Sean, what she assumed a conscious relationship would be, and the truth of what living in this aligned mutual practice actually looks and feels like. It starts, like so many things do, with loving yourself unconditionally. It ends, well, never! And that’s exactly how it’s meant to be. Enjoy!

Today, the delightful and incredible Jenna Kutcher joins K + L for a truly expansive episode that you will undoubtedly be inspired and empowered by. She’s an all-around superstar and role model to us, a mother, marketing expert, coach, and a newly published author – something she swore she’d never be. The way she balances energies, of the more mentally taxing things, like her businesses and boundaries; with softer elements of her life, like her growing family and boundless creativity, is such a great example of what’s possible if we’re willing to do the work necessary to make it happen. We talk about how she’s built her business to run on its own, parenting dynamics, body image, team building, and so much more. Jenna reminds us that success, struggle, and healing all look and feel different to every single person – that grace and forgiveness are some of the best gifts we can give ourselves.  We also talk about: The truth in changing as a person When and where hustling is necessary  Living in intentionality + alignment  Finding outlets for all of your love Birthing a baby while birthing a book Growing and empowering a team Finding compromise in parenting  Jenna’s body journey TV memories + family dynamics  Sponsors: Get discount codes sent directly to your phone.

Ricki Lake and her longtime business partner and filmmaker, Abby Epstein, join the show today to talk about their groundbreaking new documentary film, The Business of Birth Control – a truth finding journey where they tell the impactful stories of women who’ve had a whole range of experiences on, and coming off of, hormonal contraceptives. As we’ve seen and heard in past episodes on this subject, this community has a very direct connection to the modern birth control story. Until very recently, our knowledge had been strictly experiential. Now, with documentaries like this and other dedicated research, we’re learning more about what these drugs do in our bodies, and to our minds. It’s critically important work, and so important for all women, especially young girls, to know and understand. From June 22nd to 26th, The Business of Birth Control will be available to watch for FREE in the USA and Canada! You can grab your ticket here. And for those who miss the free streaming event, you can use the code "Almost30" for 50% off by clicking here. We encourage you to share this one with a friend or family member to, as Ricki mentions, pay it forward and empower the next generation with information they can act upon for their best interests. Enjoy. We also talk about: Inspirations behind the documentary  Birth control stories and experiences The beauty and power in our cycles   Marketing freedom over risks  Recognizing its historical significance  Reckoning with unethical trial testing Digging into the business side of hormonal contraception  Tragic stories of death and injury Following the money Hope for the future + male-equivalent options  Sponsors: Get discount codes sent directly to your phone.

Drop in and open your heart for this warm hug of an episode as the amazing author and psychologist, Dr. Thema Bryant, walks us through the most relatable and actionable self-help practices you’ll ever come across. K + L get personal with their own experiences and lessons from therapy during this truthful, energetic, and enlightening episode.  Dr. Thema helps us unpack the impact of social media on our sense of self, explaining the nuance to how and why narcissism seems (it actually isn’t!) so apparent in the space. We also learn how the most outward and seemingly self-promotional actions can actually be manifestations of shame, fear, and guilt – and how to understand that dynamic in yourself and in others. How to live more authentically, foster more meaningful relationships, avoid the pitfalls of self-erasure, and process the endless wave of Insta therapy – you don’t want to miss it. We also talk about: Unpacking nuggets of information for what they mean to you K + L share therapy experiences  Self-erasure and how we trick ourselves into it  Reintroducing yourself – as yourself  Learning love languages Showing love during times of conflict  Is everyone a narcissist?

We’re back today with one the most closely connected spirits in the Almost 30 orbit, longtime podcaster, coach, branding expert, and now – author – Julie Solomon! Her new book, Get What You Want: How To Go From Unseen To Unstoppable, is packed with super personal never-before-told stories, valuable life learnings, and practical ways to apply these important practices and considerations to your own life. Kicking off with a chat on human design, the unbelievable gift of our hardwiring is a theme throughout – we learn how Julie came to understand her own thoughts and emotions, how they got there (discovering her origin story), and how to repurpose or redirect them in ways that benefited her and the people around her. From rock bottom to today, launching an incredible book from a place of groundedness and pride – Julie is a great example of how generous and rewarding life can be if and when we do the work. We also talk about: Human design as a means to understanding oneself  Breaking down purpose vs. passion Finding your origin story  Humble upbringings and negative learned perspectives  Awareness, acceptance, and action Drawing a fine line between empathy and codependency  Cutting the harmful self-talk and rewriting beliefs  Learning from past, and current, relationships  God as everything and everyone The mission and inspiration behind Julie’s new book  Resources:  Read: Get What You Want: How To Go From Unseen To Unstoppable Podcast: The Influencer Podcast Instagram: @julssolomon Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

It is what it is, right? But, that’s not a mindset that comes easily – or quickly. For many of us, our teens and twenties are filled with changing – wanting to change, feeling pressures to change. After thirty, and after doing the work, a shift starts to happen. We look in the mirror and wink at ourselves instead of wishing for something to be different.  Lindsey sits down for this deeply personal solo episode to walk listeners through her own body attunement journey, from watching herself in home movies as a wiggling four year-old, to learned familial beliefs on body, her (sometimes toxic) relationship with fitness, and unpacking early sexual encounters.  Everything is on the table, because everything in life is connected to our physical self.   Tune in and take note to start feeling better in your body, more harmonized in the feminine, restorative, juicy goodness that is this physical vehicle, on this planet. It’s a beautiful thing, and when we can truly celebrate it, it shines through in the rest of our lives. We also talk about: Everything is everything What is body attunement to me? Reprogramming negative familial beliefs  Being aware of how social media makes us feel Unpacking impactful sexual experiences  How we process outside information Identifying areas where we can be more attuned with our body Considering our cycles as the seasons Infusing your food with intention Resources:  Use keywords, titles, proper nouns, etc., to describe each third-party resource READ: “Tantra: The Supreme Understanding” by Osho Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Byron Katie is known around the world as an author and a thought leader among thought leaders, a voice so clear and yet so intellectually complex that you might find yourself replaying this episode once or twice to grasp the beautiful concept of radical inquiry that she presents in her work.  Calling her process “The Work,” she invites readers (and listeners!) to ask four questions of themselves in times of angst, challenge, or overthinking: Is it true? Can you absolutely know it's true? How do you react when you believe that thought? Who would you be without the thought? It seems simple enough. But, sit with even the first question, truly – and you'll realize we’re headed down a path of the divine, but unknown.  Weaving metaphors and vivid imagery like an artist, Byron Katie takes K+L on a spiritual journey, starting with a morning walk, where the only thing bigger than the ideas are the questions. You’re invited to open your mind and let it all (nothing) wash over you. We also talk about: The importance and beauty of a morning walk Her spiritual awakening journey The 4 questions from Loving What Is  How to become an observer of our thoughts How everyone in the world is our teacher Taking radical responsibility  How to work on our stories related to body image, relationships, and fear How to deal with pain and suffering in the world aka how to approach reality  Get discount codes sent directly to your phone.

Do you ever feel like there are a few different versions of yourself that come out during certain situations? In some recent therapy work, Krista has learned that… well, maybe there are.  In this episode, she takes Almost 30 nation into her personal therapy journey, unpacking her self-leadership work using the Internal Family System (IFS) method to identify, observe, respect, and understand the distinct parts of her being that protect and project less-than-ideal behavior, especially as it relates to her body acceptance. We meet the Manager, the Firefighter, and the Exile. But, no parts of us are bad. This is an important caveat to remember. Meeting and understanding these different forces within us is what helps us observe our lives and environments for ways we may encourage, or discourage, their appearances in place of Self, our highest and most pure form. This one goes deep, and invites us to look within ourselves for a different perspective, or two, on who we are, and why. Enjoy. We also talk about: Check ins on projects and processing long creative gestation periods Krista shares her body acceptance journey Introducing Internal Family Systems (IFS) method The manager, keeping you busy, productive, and distracted  The firefighter, doing whatever it takes to bring you to equilibrium Exiles, forgotten and missing parts of your past and present Understanding and acknowledging their roles  Feeling their love and working in unison with Self Resources:  Use keywords, titles, proper nouns, etc., to describe each third-party resource Learn more about Internal Family Systems (IFS) Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Rich Roll is an inspiration, both in the general sense and in a very specific way. Believe it or not, his podcast played a big part in K+L launching Almost 30. After years of struggling with alcohol and drug addiction, Rich turned his life around to become an award-winning ultra endurance athlete, vegan advocate, best-selling author, and host of the incredible Rich Roll Podcast. You may have heard his story before, but this conversation pushes him to go a little deeper on some less-explored details. Rich goes into his personal journey including his marriage with Julie and their financial collapse, alcoholism as it relates to the sober-curious movement, finding purpose and what that means, and picking apart the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous as it relates to a spiritual experience.  It’s a super dynamic conversation with someone who’s accomplished so much in life.

Focusing on our own personal growth and expansion can so often shift the focus onto external goals, routines, and mindsets—but we can’t forget about the body. A big part of that is our sexuality, whether it’s relating to our own body or our partners. Sex is a powerful energetic force, so how can we get to a place where we are approaching it from a spiritual, elevated place? Tiffany Janay is a sought after motivational speaker, sacred sexuality educator, women's empowerment guide, and the owner of YoniEggs.com. She's made a career of connecting on a personal level with people, assisting them in getting past their fears, hurt, and anxiety as it pertains to their sexuality through her work as a womb wellness advocate and sacred sexuality guide.  We dive into the powerful spiritual connection to the womb, how it relates to the ability to create, and practices to honor the womb more deeply. We also tap into the essence of sacred sexuality, what it means, and how you can practice it in your own life. You owe it to yourself to love your whole self. We also talk about: Leading your way through life by your feelings and curiosity Having a prayer for your life Being thankful for the moments life kicks you down Coming into yourself and your sexuality Common blocks to making progress Men's relationships to their bodies The language we use to describe our body parts Tending to the womb and the power of creation The history of yoni eggs  Resources:  yonieggs.com Instagram: @tiffanyjanay Instagram: @lovequartzyonieggs Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Animals are such an important part of our emotional, mental, and physical health. They seem to understand our emotions – sometimes even more than we do. And if they can sense our emotions, it shouldn’t surprise us to find out that we can communicate with them on an even deeper level. Miranda Alcott is an animal and human communications counselor and she’s dedicated her life to facilitating greater understanding between animals and those that care for them. As children, we communicate intuitively with animals. So as adults working on healing our inner child, it’s important that we learn to get back in touch with that aspect of ourselves. Miranda dives into topics such as supporting our animals as their lives change alongside our own, how to listen harmoniously, and the lessons we can learn from our animals. We also talk about: Miranda’s story and how she came to recognize her gifts The HarmoniousListening™ approach and what it entails Personalities of animals and how they differ Learning to interpret what our animals teach us Ongoing growth in your relationship with your animal Listening to our animals effectively and responding appropriately Common themes with animals and their messages during the pandemic Higher-self communication vs. the animal in its 3D body Supporting your animals when you go on vacation Animal synchronicities and stories Resources:  mirandaalcott.com HarmoniousListening™ course: mirandaalcott.podia.com/harmoniouslistening-beginning-animal-communication Miranda’s YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCPgwmHtPMSoZ39ADzLuP3lw Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Karena Dawn has been on the podcast before talking about fitness and entrepreneurship as the co-founder of Tone It Up. Today, she joins us to talk about her new book, The Big Silence, a memoir about mental illness and healing. The title comes from the idea that there is still such a stigma surrounding mental health and discussing it openly. In it, she goes deep into parts of her life that are so evocative and powerful, from dealing with drugs, being arrested, and managing a strained relationship with her schizophrenic mother. We talk about her story, how to support someone with mental health issues while still taking care of yourself, and how she’s integrated her husband into the mental health discussion. It’s so important for us to break this silence together, have meaningful conversations around mental health, and shut down the stigma once and for all. We also talk about: Karena’s background of dealing with mental illness in her family Recognizing the complexity of everyone’s lived experiences Finding clarity at the end Taking care of yourself while you help others Discovering where to set boundaries Turning your childhood struggles into something beautiful Teaching people how to work with others who have mental health conditions The goal of The Big Silence Sponsors:   Get discount codes sent directly to your phone.

Self-reflection isn’t easy. When it comes to doing the hard work, sometimes we’re drawn to looking for easy answers outside of ourselves, pushing us further from the answers that we already hold within. Jenna Reiss is a breathwork facilitator in Los Angeles, a doula, and also works with clients one-on-one. She has her own beautiful practice and teaches online, supporting people in their spiritual evolution through breathwork. In this conversation, she talks about the idea of coming home to yourself, what that means, and why, in our rush to heal, we so often get pushed further outside of ourselves.  She also dives into the personal healing journey, and how having compassion for everyone’s individual process starts with self-compassion. Jenna has an open heart and makes you feel good about being yourself. So get ready to laugh, go deep, and come home.

You know what it feels like to hold the pose? Those moments where you feel fully present, embodied, and like you can just weather the storm and come out feeling strong? When you’re able to hold your own without reacting to it in the moment, you find so much more clarity and truth on the other side of things. We could all use a little more of that. In this solo episode with Lindsey, she’s going to share some tactical ways you can hold your pose, whether in a hard conversation, a physical reaction to an experience, or something that takes a long time to process and work through. It’s all about being intentional instead of reactive, and asking yourself what you really want to get out of a situation and responding accordingly. If you want to increase your confidence, increase your self-trust, and abandon yourself less, be your highest self in every moment. This one’s for you. We also talk about: What it means to be in your center Identifying what it feels like to be in or off your center Action vs activity How Lindsey comes back to center Cultivating a relationship with your center Breathwork as a way of coming back to the center Finding a centering tone Snapping back to your center Finding tools to help you build healthy habits Auditing your lifestyle Resources:  Join Krista’s Life Edit course at lifeeditbykrista.com Follow Jas on Instagram: @jasofmoon Read: Tantra by Osho Visit myjupitercard.com/lindsey to enter the Jupiter Card waitlist and be entered to win one of five $100 Amazon gift cards Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Are we all feeling good about our finances in here? Because listen: Money is not a man’s game. It can be so empowering to take control of your finances – and while it may not be sexy, it doesn’t have to be difficult either. You deserve the life you want, but for most of us, that means boosting our net worth a bit first. That’s where Miss Independent herself comes in. Nicole Lapin, our favorite rich bitch, is back on the pod to enlighten and educate us all on the path to financial independence.  We get into some of the nitty-gritty details like, hello, what is a brokerage? And why it’s okay to play with NFTs – as long as it’s with money you’re prepared to lose.  She also dives into homeownership, dipping a toe into the investing world, and whether you really need to stress over scams or market crashes. Get ready to grow your wealth to levels you’ve never dreamed of. This is an important episode that you won’t want to miss. We also talk about: Feelings that come up around your birthday Mental roadblocks to financial literacy How to start investing when you’re working paycheck to paycheck Systems for consistency Whether or not you should fear a market crash How to approach financial goals Crypto and NFTs Investment scams to avoid Advice around home buying Resources: nicolelapin.com Read: Miss Independent Read: Rich Bitch Instagram: @nicolelapin Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

K + L are back on the AMA train, having those casual catch-up conversations with the community and answering your burning questions! In this episode, we dive into reconnecting with past relationships, knowing which ideas are the ones you should follow, getting stuck (and what that might mean the universe is trying to tell you), and so much more. We also talk about: What do we do when we can’t fall asleep? Is it worth it to connect with old flames and former friends or is it a test from the universe? How do you structure your day as a soulful entrepreneur? What advice would you give someone transitioning from a side hustle to going full-time in their business? How do you decide which business ideas to follow? Have there been moments for Almost 30 that you felt stuck in terms of progress?

Look, we KNOW y’all love Dr. Zach Bush. How? Because the last time he was on the show was one of our highest downloaded and most widely discussed episodes of all time. The numbers don’t lie, folks. In the off chance you aren’t familiar, though, here’s the short of it: he’s a triple-board certified doctor, he owns the company Ion, and he runs his own non-profit. In other words, the man’s a mother-loving fountain of wisdom. His conversation with K+L is hard to quantify, but he touches on a bit of everything, from our physical, mental, and spiritual health, the troubling direction our society is heading in, and what he views to be the antidote to it all.

Lilly Singh is at the top of her game – and for good reason. She’s the definition of multifaceted, and she embodies that energy in her career and everything she does. Entertainer, actress, producer, writer, creator, she’s a multi-hyphenated megastar. Hot off the heels of her historic late-night talk show, we dive into all that she’s accomplished, how having a seat at the table doesn’t guarantee you have a voice, and managing to take care of yourself while trying to accomplish it all. Lilly still believes hustle is an important ingredient to success, but she doesn’t think you have to sacrifice your physical and mental health for years to get there. In her new book, Be A Triangle, Lilly outlines the discovery process she went through to create a strong, unshakable foundation within herself – one she could come home to no matter what season her life was in. We also talk about: Why Lilly doesn’t recommend anyone give a TED Talk The changing cultural landscape around traditional TV Understanding your parents’ experience and what’s relevant (or not) to your life Lilly’s coming out story Being discerning with your creativity What it means to become a triangle Sponsors: BetterHelp | Get 10% off your first month of therapy at betterhelp.com/almost30 Base | Save 20% off your first month of membership with code ALMOST30 at get-base.com/almost30 House of Wise | Visit houseofwise.co and use code ALMOST30 for 20% off your first order Honeybook | Start a free trial at honeybook.com/almost30 and enjoy 30% off your first year Resources: Instagram: @lilly TikTok: @lilly YouTube: youtube.com/LillySingh Read: Be A Triangle Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Sheleana Aiyana is the real deal when it comes to processing family trauma. After you hear the story of what she went through as a child – and how she overcame it – you'll be a believer as well. Sheleana knows that, if more of us could understand the impact of inherited family trauma and how to move through it, the world would be a brighter place. She’s the founder of Rising Woman, a community of more than three million readers. Sheleana is very truthful, very heart-centered, and she’s doing work that helps so many people. Her new book, “Becoming the One,” debunks the myth that we need someone from outside ourselves, “the one,” to come into our life and save us. You have everything within you to become the one in your own life. And if you doubt it now, Sheleana can be very convincing.

How many of us truly understand what it means to be mindful? Manoj Dias was raised under Buddhist mindfulness traditions. Today, he’s also deeply embedded in the modern world. For some time, he was chasing a different life working in marketing and finance, but that experience – and the toll it took on his health – only strengthened his resolve as he found his way back to his roots. Having learned so much about the art of being present, he co-founded Open, a modern mindfulness studio merging technology, culture, and cinematography, with proven practices to grow community and nurture presence. He dives deep into the mindfulness of embracing pain, what it means to be mindful in your relationships, and how it feels to be truly embodied.  We also talk about: The brokenheartedness of disembodiment Being mindful in your friendships Creating a relationship with pain Changing your narrative around love Leaving your old life behind Making the decision to cut people out of your life Transformative Buddhist philosophies Cultivating a healthy relationship with technology Why Manoj started Open Sponsors: Arrae | Visit arrae.com and use code ALMOST30 for 10% off your purchase Milk + Honey | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% off your order and your first spa service at milkandhoneyspa.com Truebill | Download the app at truebill.com/almost30 BetterHelp | Get 10% off the first month of therapy at betterhelp.com/almost30 Resources: (Use keywords, titles, proper nouns, etc., to describe each third-party resource) Learn more at manojdias.com.au Follow Manoj on Instagram: @manojdias_ Follow Open on Instagram: @op_e___n You can get a free month of Open at open-together.com/almost30 Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Whether it’s on social platforms, group chats, email, and even in the images themselves, we are leaving a trace of our life all over the place.

Look, we’ve all said some cringe stuff in the past. That’s okay, no judgment. We love past us.

You may remember Bethany Webster from our most recent Camp Almost 30 where she, we have to say, brought the freaking house down. She also joined us in March of 2021, where she introduced the community to the life-changing idea of the “Mother Wound,” and about healing and dealing with the multi-generational trauma that gets passed on to us. Now, she’s helping us to identify another unheard part of ourselves, our inner teenager. By now, the idea of the inner child is totally understood, but our inner teenager still hangs out in there. Like most teenagers, yours is probably misunderstood or completely ignored.  That part of you has so much to give and Bethany Webster helps us get on the level to understand those lessons. Tune in. We also talk about: The undermining and exploitation of teenagers in society The function of shame Teenagers’ pressure to grow up fast Healing the inner teen vs. the inner child How the inner teen gets activated Defining and finding sovereignty Ending friendships that are no longer aligned Finding peace with your inner teen Sponsors: BetterHelp | Get 10% off the first month of therapy at betterhelp.com/almost30 Issuu | Visit issuu.com/podcast to create a free account or use code ALMOST30 to get 50% off a premium account Anima Mundi Herbals | Go to animamundiherbals.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your purchase HUM Nutrition | Visit humnutrition.com and use code ALMOST30 for 20% off your first order of $29 or more Resources: bethanywebster.com Instagram: @themotherwound Read: “Discovering the Inner Mother” Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Nutrition is so much more than chugging green juice smoothies and smashing out sessions on a Peloton. Our relationship to food is an energetic extension of self. It reflects our mental and environmental nourishment on a deep level. When renowned celebrity nutritionist and bestselling author, Kimberly Snyder, made the conscious decision to create something that veered from the existing food narrative, she found her authentic essence. Up close, it wasn’t the number on the scale, the figure in her bank account, or even a partner. It was the groundedness of her daily mindfulness practice, the activation of love as a frequency, and the conscious attention and devotion spent with life’s teachers, such as guru Paramahansa Yogananda.  When she was 34-weeks pregnant, she received the download for her next passion project: to distill her life lessons and teachings into a guide to help others discover their limitless potential.  In this episode, we dive into her mindfulness masterpiece, “You Are More Than You Think You Are,” and explore how to cultivate practical enlightenment into every fold and fiber of your being.

Do you believe in God? Contemplating your relationship to spirit can feel supercharged with triggering emotions, especially if we’ve had negative or uninspiring interactions with religion in the past.  In this episode, K + L reflect on their spiritual evolution and relationship with God. From traditional rituals of childhood conditioning to the framework they feel aligned with today. They discuss how they navigated resistance around what it means to believe in God, and how the process of unlearning conventions has helped them cultivate a connection with God that feels unconditional, authentic, and life-affirming.  We also talk about: Individual journeys with religion  Coming back to a relationship with God  Spectrums of religion Judgements in religion and consequences  How to make spirituality your own Sponsors: Athletic Greens | Get a 1-year supply of Vitamin D + five FREE travel packs with your first purchase at athleticgreens.com/almost30 Bev | Get 20% off your first purchase + free shipping at drinkbev.com/almost30 or use code “ALMOST30” at checkout Elavi | Get 15% off when you use the code ALMOST30 + free shipping on 2 pouches or more at elavi.co  Open | Get 30 days free with the code ALMOST30 at open-together.com/almost30 Daily Harvest | Use code ALMOST30 to get up to $40 off your first box at www.daily-harvest.com/almost30 Resources: “Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion” by Sam Harris  “The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself” by Michael A.

Sex carries so much currency in our internal and external landscapes. For many, sexuality is cloaked in shame, fear, or heady expectations that leave us feeling short-changed and disempowered. Fortunately, the tides are shifting with the help of pioneers like Dr. Kate Balestrieri, a sex therapist helping people integrate the physical and emotional components of sex, sexuality, and relationships.  True sexual embodiment is a journey, not a destination (the same can be said for orgasms). This conversation undresses all the topics you’ve probably been thinking about but were too scared to utter out loud. Krista, Lindsey, and Dr. Kate candidly untangle the narrative surrounding porn, patriarchy, and partnerships while boldly confronting the common intimacy challenges in modern relationships today.  We also talk about: How the nervous system affects pleasure  Navigating expectations around sex Exploring blocks in partnership Why couples therapy works The spectrum of sex positivity Patriarchy and internalized misogyny  Desire, fetish, and ethical porn Tips for elevating your sexual practice  Processing sexual trauma  Sponsors: Zocdoc | Search for local doctors who take your insurance.

Quigley tries on roles like beautiful outfits. She’s a singer/performer, blogger, influencer, and creative director. Yet, even with all the accomplishments, glamorous gowns, and a blue tick on Instagram, there are times when Quigley doesn’t feel like she’s enough.  When those moments arise, she’s not afraid to lift the veil. If you thought influencers were all #ad posts and destination trips, this conversation will most definitely make you reassess that stance.

Yet, no matter how many times we’re told to “let go” and flow with life’s unpredictable groove, many of us reach a hard edge from time to time. Then, what happens?

We're trapped in a web of narratives. Right now, the United States is crippled by an obesity epidemic that's getting bigger, made worse by the endless wave of related "facts" coming at us from every screen. If there is a pill for every ill, why are we so sick? Shawn Stevenson has been on a 20-year mission to learn and research where we went wrong and how we can get out of this mess. Forget about "burning fat" and instead learn the facts that will free us from this prison of chronic illness. Shawn's exit strategy is to share information from an objective place, without an agenda, and truly respect the human body as a complex lab. Your value is not based on a number. Fat is not your enemy, it's more of an overprotective parent. Let's step back, look within, and see what we find. We also talk about: The current state of health A nuanced approach to obesity and weight loss Fat: what it is and why we need it Gut health and immunity  The biology of fear  How do we move forward?

Taryn Toomey, founder of The Class, helps regulate the mental gymnastics of our mind with intentional movement.

Anger, disappointment, betrayal. These are the textbook reactions to your partner when they show no interest in your self-awakening.

If you feel yourself falling down a rabbit hole of spiritual manipulation, tune into this solo episode with Krista, where she unpacks the do’s and don'ts of addressing spiritual imbalance in partnership and how to silence the spiritual ego from rearing its not-so-enlightened head.

During Alyson Charles' brutal yet beautiful spiritual awakening, animals were a daily medicine that coaxed repressed traumas to the surface. Through the initiation, she rebirthed as "RockStar Shaman" with a mission to collaborate directly with the wisdoms of Mother Earth and Great Spirit/Source, and bridge the gap between animals and humans.  Her spiritual allegiance to the animal world comes full circle with her new book, Animal Power, which decodes the spiritual significance of 100 species along with transformative practices to deepen your relationship with the power animal wanting to support you at this time. In this episode, Alyson reveals the emotionally-charged backstory to birthing her living, breathing medicine book, the responsibility of owning her role as a shaman, and how lessons from surrender and celibacy led her to find sacred union with Luke Storey.  We also talk about: Exploring the death portal  The potency of illustrations in Animal Power  The meaning behind The Eagle Condor Prophecy  How to connect to your power animal The responsibility that comes with spiritual gifts Advice on surviving a spiritual awakening  The inner work to finding an aligned relationship Sponsors: Beekeeper’s Naturals | Go to beekeepersnaturals.com/almost30 or use code “ALMOST30” for 25% off your first order.

Minnesota mama and marketing pro, Jenna Kutcher, has ticked off all the things on “the list.” She built a seven-figure digital business from scratch (thanks to a $300 camera purchase on Craigslist), married her life partner, and is a mother after years of trying.  Now, Jenna’s sights are set beyond Instagram strategy. She’s changing the blueprint of what motherhood should look like, and is focusing on the present. The gifts she’s received have been tenfold. She learned how to delegate as a CEO, became the sole breadwinner of her (growing) family, and made actionable steps towards inclusivity in her business.  The goal is not set in stone. Jenna is constantly shedding, cleaning out her closet, trying things on for size, and reclaiming the titles she’s picked up along the way. After all, isn’t that the point of living? We also talk about: The path to motherhood and experience miscarrying Jenna’s hormone reset, getting pregnant and coming home to her body Taking maternity leave as an entrepreneur and parenting arrangements  Accepting your own timeline and allowing yourself to evolve  How to be an entrepreneur, business owner, and maintain your creative vision  Lessons learned from the pandemic and how it shifted her focus  Leveraging social media for good Sponsors: NutriBullet | Use code “ALMOST30NATION” for 20% off at nutribullet.com SAKARA | Go to sakara.com/almostsakara and use code ALMOSTSAKARA for 20% off your first order House of Wise | Use code “ALMOST30” for $20 off your order at houseofwise.co HUM Nutrition | Receive 20% off first orders of $29+ with code ALMOST30 at humnutrition.com BetterHelp | Visit betterhelp.com/almost30 for 10% off your first month.

Emma Zeck has logged off. She skipped New York and a relationship that wasn’t serving her, and let conditional friendships fall away. Sometimes, she even ejects herself from the rabbit hole of Instagram to dance in the woods. When was the last time you immersed yourself in nature without capturing it on camera? Living authentically has proven to be true medicine for Emma, even if it’s a hard concoction to swallow at times. Getting canceled is no walk in the park. Breakups suck, and we all want someone to hold our hand sometimes.  In this episode, K + L provide a safe space for Emma to speak uninterrupted and unfiltered about her self-discovery journey thus far, searching for validation in self-help books, partners, and people before realizing she already had all the answers within herself.  We also talk about: Isolation, community, and self-censorship Evolving friendships, losing friends, and searching for validation  Public persona, self-abandonment, and lessons learned from being canceled Intuitive movement, and trusting your intuition  Unconditional love, and loving without labels  Sponsors: Joybird | Visit joybird.com/almost30 for 30% off your purchase.  House of Wise | Use code “ALMOST30” for $20 off your order at houseofwise.co NutriBullet | Use code “ALMOST30NATION” for 20% off at nutribullet.com HUM Nutrition | Receive 20% off first orders of $29+ with code ALMOST30 at humnutrition.com Zocdoc | Search for local doctors who take your insurance.

For Olivia Amitrano, herbalism is everything. In college, a concoction of Chinese medical herbs would heal her crippling skin and gut issues, and, at 28 years old, a profound psilocybin journey lifted the veil on her shadow and transformed her life outlook. Now her sights are set on the powerful properties and rituals of tea. Did we mention, she's the founder of modern herbal medicine brand Organic Olivia? Olivia is creating space in her life, whether that's taking three weeks to go offline and learning new ways to hold a safe container for friendship or simply going for a long walk.  In this episode, she divulges how her self-awareness journey is shaping her relationships and how her passion for herbalism was planted, and why it just keeps on growing.   We also talk about: What that looks and feels like to go completely offline The transformational psilocybin journey that lifted the veil Navigating anxiety, hormonal and gut health Reframing exercise + the wonders of walking  How she found herbalism and future business plans Sponsors: Sugarbreak | Break free from sugar dependence with a natural, non-prescription support system.

K + L get the tea on Morgan Harper Nichols morning routine, and what lays the groundwork for birthing all the beautiful gifts she brings to the world. She shares how she creates something every day, and why getting smaller with your artistic expression doesn't mean playing small. Now, thanks to her collaboration with Starbucks, your morning coffee can be an act of self-care.   Before you roll your eyes at yet another "morning routine" chat, know that this convo steers clear from dogmatic formulas (who is really journaling for 30 minutes every day anyway)? Instead, think of it as an open-ended invitation for you to explore the small rituals that fuel your creativity and celebrate your life. So feel free to hit the snooze button, and indulge in donuts in bed. You can still sit with us.    We also talk about: K + L’s morning routines Why coffee grounds Morgan for her day The question she asks every morning to stay present Creating art in any environment Resources: Start your day on a high with Morgan’s “Morning Mantras” IG Effect Website: morganharpernichols.com Instagram: @morganharpernichols Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

During Krista’s recent summer vacay to Ibiza with human design expert and fellow projector, Jenna Zoe, she found herself finetuning her relationship with food and exercise.  Swapping intense workouts for yoga, and quick snacks for intentional meals and fruit, impacted her emotional and physical well-being so much, she decided to dedicate an episode to it.

What do you feel when you look at yourself in the mirror?  In 2020, Mel Robbins found herself spiraling with panic and fear in the thick of the pandemic. It was the same panic and anxiety she felt when her entire world fell apart in 2008, and she found herself knee-deep in $800,000 of debt. She saw herself in the mirror, raised her hand, and gave herself a high-five. She did it again the next day and the day after that. Her fear subsided, and The High 5 Habit was born.  Mel Robbins is living proof that breakdowns lead to breakthroughs. Yet even with financial success, recognition, and all other societal markers of success, you can still feel jealous, hurt, triggered, and helpless. Throughout all of it, you deserve a pat on the back, or better yet, a high five in the mirror.  In this episode, Mel shares the science behind the simple act of raising your hands, stressing the importance of celebrating the small wins and why one effortless, free, and slightly cringe-inducing action, can change the course of your day.  We also talk about: How she birthed The High 5 Habit and the science behind it Conquering resistance and negative self talk  Feeling loveable and celebrating small triumphs How to use jealousy as a signal for self discovery   Why being kind to yourself is everything   Her financial rock bottom that changed everything  Creating The Five Second Rule Liberating ourselves from the stories we create  Resources: Join our Podcast Accelerator Program to grow and monetize your podcast!

Peta Kelly is the poster girl for radical self-acceptance. She owns her s**t and does not play by the polarity rulebook. In a world that's split with black-and-white labels and categories, Peta stands out in glorious technicolor. Let's face it, that can be jarring for some people–especially in the cancel-culture vortex we live in. Rest easy, no one can cancel Peta because she is not giving up on herself.  In this authentic AF episode, Krista and Peta talk about the paradigm shift going on right now in the world, how to break free from virtue signalling rhetoric, and choose the path of sovereignty–even when no one else is on your side.  We also talk about: Navigating disordered eating and living in your authentic body  Social media overstimulation and online drama Virtue signaling and cancel culture  Showing up online and self-validation Walking your own path Resources:  Website: petakelly.com  Instagram: @petajean Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Financial ruin, divorce, and the death of a child drove Danette May away from a life that wasn't her own. Once she began stepping into her true calling to serve Mother Earth and humanity, abundance flowed in all its forms. She's here today to show you how you can do it too.  You don't have to empty your bank account to unlock abundance. Danette's juiciest spiritual takeaways come from connecting to herself (soul writing, gratitude lists), nature (eating one green thing from Mother Earth every day), and cultivating conscious relationships at work and home (weekly meditations, intimacy dates, and so much more)! Lastly, Danette opens up about her deep-rooted reverence for cacao, its powerful heart-opening ingredients, and the intention behind her food brand, Earth Echo Foods. She inspires everyone to live out, eat, pray, love beyond the pages of a book, and harness the passion and power that's burning inside us all.  We also talk about: Reaching rock bottom and growing into the woman she is today The spiritual energetics behind building a successful business Rewriting her money story Life strategies that support purpose and relationships Consistently showing up in partnership  The premise of Embracing Abundance and inspiration behind Earth Echo Foods The transformational health and spiritual benefits of cacao  Resources: Read: Embrace Abundance: A Proven Path to Better Health, More Wealth, and Deeply Fulfilling Relationships Website: danettemay.com Instagram: @thedanettemay  Join: Podcast Accelerator Program - Join our FREE, one-week immersive program to learn how to grow and monetize your podcast.

Our Virgo queen, Lindsey Simcik, turns 34 today and takes a solo moment to celebrate getting older (yep, you read that right) and reiterate the importance of loving yourself – and your laugh lines – as you add on years and wisdom to the school of life.  Aging doesn’t have to be this ticking time bomb that’s out to get us. Instead, you can view it from a higher-self standpoint of reverence, reflection, and gratitude for the years gone by. This episode is an invitation to tune into your body’s intuitive downloads and set intentions for your next trip around the sun.

When the spiritual fabric of the world feels fragile, fleeting, and frightened, it can be hard to return to ourselves, liberate yourself from the stories you've created or absorbed from those around you.  In this episode, K + L's life coach, Aaron Rose, gives you radical permission to turn down the dial of chaos and sit with yourself in gratitude and reverence for the beauty of life on this planet (yes, even those gnarly moments). Aaron sheds light on how to tune into your divine mission on Earth, protect your energy frequency in all environments, speak your truth, and, ultimately, find beauty in the simplest, most pure expressions of creativity.  Thanks to Aaron's wisdom, K + L's lives have grown exponentially, and we hope this episode invites you to shift your perspective on how to show up in the world and the different ways you can access joy and live a life of intention wherever you are in the world.  A final message from Aaron: Thank you for listening to this podcast, dear one. I deeply honor you for being on Earth during this potent time, for working to heal, for choosing to love, against all the odds. You are changing the world for the better simply by being yourself.

The narrative loops we contain ourselves in can limit our potential to be free. K + L have spent years untying the threads, which take them back to the childhood origins of specific stories that play out in adulthood. Some are good, others are not so great, but all are creations built from ego; not from soul.  In this episode, K + L divulge how they have confronted stories in their lives, from money to body image, and give radical permission for you to explore your own so that you can rewrite your self-narrative from an empowered place.  We also talk about: What are stories and why we create them  How K + L healed their stories surrounding money and body image Dropping into your heart Rewriting the narrative   Resources:  Read: Meet Your Soul: A Powerful Guide to Connect with Your Most Sacred Self by Elisa Romeo Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

[Please be advised, this episode includes sensitive subject matter including sexual assault and trauma.] Dr. Sheila Cambell’s mission is to help us understand the (sexual) body as a container from which energy – or Jing Qi – flows. Our sexual bodies host our ecstasy, vulnerability, and carry sexual trauma – a frequency that haunts our bodies and can shadow intimate relationships.  K + L’s chat with Dr. Sheila Cambell is the sex education you never knew you needed. Not only does she give you a myriad of rituals and practices rooted in inter-connectivity and self-awareness to help you connect with your body beyond the physical, but you’ll walk away ready to cut the cords of your sexual past and tune into your sacred sexuality: a space that will take you to the highest peaks – if you just learn how to trust it.  We also talk about: The sexual body in science and Chinese medicine How our body holds sexual trauma  Morning rituals and workouts to tune into your body Dr. Sheila Campbell’s sexual healing treatment and Krista’s session Orgasms, sexual blocks, and connecting with sex Protecting your sexual body, energetic leaking, and casual sex Leaning into sacred sexuality Cord cutting and cleansing rituals Resources: Instagram: @drsheilamariecampbell Website: sheilamariecampbell.com Website: nuchi.us For course information and sessions, email: [email protected] Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

We live in a fear-inducing world. It’s wrecking our immune systems, eco-systems, and sense of community. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but curious minds like Dr. Zach Bush are carving a new path for people beyond the “pill-for-every-ill” philosophy that doesn’t seem to be leading anywhere good.  In this eye-opening episode that confronts the mental, physical and environmental vortex we all find ourselves in, Dr. Zach Bush lays down the facts: from how the pharmaceutical industry has failed to help us heal to the toxic food industry that’s bleached the soil and harmed our bodies. But, there is hope. To truly fix this, we will have to work together, move away from fear, and turn to Mother Nature for her true medicine.

In this episode, Krista examines the scientific root of comparison and the knock-on effects it can have on one's confidence and sense of self.  Everyone can relate to the sensation of seeing green when a friend or someone you know or admire achieves a life milestone you're yearning for. It's human, it's real, and can be mentally excruciating – if you fall down the rabbit hole of negative self-talk.  When Krista caught herself slipping down the comparison spiral, she decided to delve into the rationale behind it, and explore the theme with Almost 30 Nation in greater detail. Tune in to uncover Krista's spiritual support system that allows you to break free from comparative thought loops and step back into your power.

K + L get into throwback mode and reflect on how they started their podcast. Six years ago they were two 20-something-year-olds in the vortex of their Saturn return recording on a closet floor.

Here to talk about the psychology of money – sans the BS – is Ramit Sethi. A finance entrepreneur who actually meets you exactly where you are, Ramit helps you create the rich life you deserve – the one your bank told you that you couldn’t have.  Setbacks don’t have to mean cutbacks. Ramit gives you the permission to rewrite the money rules that have kept you prisoner in your own life.

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.”  Black Female Business Owner & Author of "Yoke", Jessamyn Stanley, Joins Almost 30 Jessamyn Stanley brings a nuanced perspective to yoga as a successful, black female with a strong online presence rooted in body positivity, self-acceptance, and the transformative power of yoga.  Jessamyn Stanley Teaches Us About Living Life Off the Book When it Comes to Yoga & Social Media For a more in-depth dive into her courageous and beautiful spirit, be sure to read her new book, “Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance.” "From the moment you arrive on Earth, you're wearing a mask." - Jessamyn Stanley, Yoga Instructor and Body Activist We also talk about: What it means to “live off-book” Writing “Yoke” Healing and processing darkness  Believing in yourself and dealing with loneliness in the public space The pain of puberty Mindful consumption and navigating social media Wearing a mask   Upcoming adventures   Resources: Website: jessamynstanley.com Instagram: @mynameisjessamyn Download: “The Underbelly” Related content: “Jessamyn Stanley on How Yoga Will Strengthen You from the Inside Out + Why It Will Save the World” Find more to love at almost30.com!

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  Find more to love at almost30.com!

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!

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 Find more to love at almost30.com!

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  Find more to love at almost30.com!

It’s hard to believe that someone who has built a billion-dollar brand could ever feel doubts about anything in their life, especially when they’ve ticked off all the things. But today’s Almost 30 guest, Jamie Kern Lima, isn’t afraid to get real and vulnerable about what goes on behind the mask.  Today, she reveals all her doubts, from the, Are You There-God? It’s Me, Jamie moments and past career qualms to questions about self-worth and her body – the last puzzle piece she’s currently dead set on solving (aren’t we all)? Her latest book, “Believe IT,” illustrates how she became resolute in her mission to, not only, build a cosmetic empire, but to do it her way, even when doors were slamming in her face. She made it, BIG, but found herself dimming her light in the name of “being humble” and not owning her achievements. Today, she wholly owns her story, hoping that it will help inspire everyone out there to BELIEVE they can do IT too.  Can we get an amen?

Today’s guest, Trina Felber, used to be your typical commercial skincare addict with a bathroom shelf laden with (toxic) products that weren’t delivering what they said on their (plastic) packaging.  After discovering the benefits of using natural olive oil on her face (the true first paleo-friendly skincare), she cured her acne, scars and found her skin looking dewier and plumper than ever before. It took her on a long detoxification journey which eventually led her to launch her own organic, non-toxic, clean skincare and dental hygiene company, Primal Life Organics.  Together we get real on the beauty products and ingredients that are failing us and talk about why skin, teeth, and gums are mirrors to your inner ecosystem. She breaks down the elements you should be adding to your skincare and dental routine and the dangerous devils you should be scoping out on your toiletry labels.  We also talk about: The fantastic results she found changing her skincare regime  Launching Primal Life Organics The nutrients found in natural oils What to look out for on labels Using clay and carbon to detoxify  Feeding your skin seasonally  What you should consider before getting Botox  SPF toxic truths Detoxifying your dental routine “Leaky gums” and how to reverse gum disease Find more to love at almost30.com!

There’s no smoke and mirrors when it comes to celebrity astrologer and spiritual influencer David Palmer, aka The Leo King, devoted truth-seeker and student of the stars. He was making waves on the astrological scene long before astrology morphed into the trending topic that it is, today.  So much of mainstream astrology orbits the specifics, leaving you sated but not wholly satisfied. David's profound strides towards the truth, however, push through the darkness, to search for the real deal.    Kristi, Lindsey, and David unpack science, the planets, pandemics, relationships, and God through the lens of astrology and piece together the multi-dimensional shifts we've been experiencing as a collective since 2012. After discussing the foundations of hermeticism and the outlook for 2021 (FYI: you're in for a wild ride), David dives into Almost 30's birth charts, examining K + L's astrological focus for the rest of the year.  We also talk about: Hermeticism and alchemy  Synchronicities in our collective search for truth  The 2021 forecast Death of relationships  Astrology’s connection to the divine  Examining our birth charts  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Lindsey walks through her experience with enmeshment and how she is processing behavioral patterns with her therapist and her loved ones. Through the support of a therapist, dedicated research, and breathwork, Lindsey has found liberation in setting boundaries with those closest to her and is reprogramming her brain to not seek outside validation at the expense of her own growth and happiness. Lindsey hopes this episode will inspire you to reflect on where enmeshment shows up in your life and seek the support necessary to step into your highest self.  We also talk about: Family enmeshment and self-advocacy Seeking outside validation Shame and guilt when you choose to against the grain How enmeshment shows up as an adult  Self-abandonment  How I’m healing in real-time Find more to love at almost30.com!

In the first episode dedicated to the science of meditation, Lindsey and Krista connect with grounded guru and renowned meditation teacher, Emily Fletcher, (who’s had 50,000 students and counting). She’s also the founder of Ziva Meditation.  Emily delivers some serious science mic drops in the conversation as she dispels meditation myths that encourage the eye-roll response from naysayers when you say, “meditation changed your life.” The facts can’t be swept under the mediation cushion anymore because this s*** actually affects your brain chemistry and has been scientifically proven to turn you into a productive powerhouse.  Almost 30 decodes the cognitive benefits of meditation and how leaning into the practice can help you process your feelings (ugly crying included), listen to nature’s signals, and manifest from your highest, most present self.  We also talk about: Her breakdown in Broadway to her breakthrough in India  Myths around meditation How meditation impacts the physical body   Productivity and meditation  Meditation, manifestation, and the in-between  Toxic positivity and surrendering to your feelings  Meditating for the collective  Personal challenges  Find more to love at almost30.com!

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   Actionable steps to create boundaries  Find more to love at almost30.com!

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 Find more to love at almost30.com!

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  Find more to love at almost30.com!

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 Find more to love at almost30.com!

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 Find more to love at almost30.com!

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 Find more to love at almost30.com!

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 Find more to love at almost30.com!

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!

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 Find more to love at almost30.com!

Feedback — both giving and receiving it — is such an integral part of life. These are often the pivotal moments that define our futures. So why do so many of us suck at feedback… and how do we get better? Therese Huston, a cognitive scientist at Seattle University, literally wrote the book on feedback. “Let’s Talk” blends research with personal stories that share how to say what needs to be said in a way that people hear what they need to hear. And remote work makes things more complicated with a new set of etiquette that we haven’t mastered yet! So, let’s learn to make the most of feedback moments so that we can do our best work and lift others up as well.

Bethany Webster is a global expert on healing the “Mother Wound,” something K+L have been intimately working with for a while now. It’s the source of so much trauma in our lives, with generation after generation of mothers passing along the damaging beliefs embedded into them by the patriarchy and their parents.

Lindsey was single for seven years, and it wasn’t until about five years in that she realized the purpose of that season in her life, that she stopped trying to find validation, reason, and purpose solely in a relationship. Being in a committed relationship now, she is in the unique position to look back on how powerful reconnecting to herself during that time was and how it opened her up to be able to connect with another person like she had never been capable of before. So, what is the source of this pressure to find a partner? Let’s look inside and find out.

Almost 30 has gone through a lot of growth lately! We launched our membership, did a complete rebrand, and built out entirely new systems. And as that all settled, Krista’s first thought was: What’s next? But it is so, SO important that we make time and space to receive from all of the hard work that we put in. We can get so caught up in the manifesting and the goal-setting that we forget to actually enjoy the fruits of our labor. Receiving and expressing gratitude are huge parts of manifesting, and we have to be able to receive all the things we’re striving for. We talk about: The focus in our culture on productivity - and how we can get out of it How to work on your unconscious beliefs to support your ability to receive  Understanding the importance of receiving How to feel what it feels like receiving in your body Being present and paying attention to your life and why it’s important Find more to love at almost30.com!

THE INTERVIEW K+L originally spoke to Alok Vaid Menon about two years ago — or, in 2020 terms, a lifetime ago — and it continues to be a relevant and important conversation for us to share. There are few people who have had such a lasting impact, not just from the show but from life. K+L left this conversation feeling more human, more connected, more aware of how they affect others: exactly what our world desperately needs more of right now. Alok also recently released a book, “Beyond the Gender Binary,” which shows that gender is a malleable and creative form of expression only limited by your creativity. So, to celebrate the book and this beautiful, powerful, kind, and heart-centered soul, we wanted to share the conversation again. We also talk about: The ins and outs of your passion being your business Growing up (emotionally repressed) in a small Texas town Southern “politeness” Balancing being a strong example for others + being a complex, flawed human Why it hurts when we turn someone into a metaphor and a symbol Visibility does not mean safety for women and trans people Where Alok developed their emotional vocabulary Gender + shame Learning not to fear their own gender nonconformity The psychology of fascism Why Alok is frustrated by the individualism of self-care The people who bully us want to be us Aesthetics as political resistance Violence against gender non-conforming individuals has escalated over the past few years What we can all do, every day, to challenge the current paradigm Find more to love at almost30.com!

THE INTERVIEW Did you know that we are spending more than EVER on supplements, but we aren’t statistically healthier? Many of us have been taking supplements for years without realizing all the additives that go into them, such as binders and fillers made from sheep's wool, corn, soy and other less desirable ingredients.We’re finding out that what we’re taking to improve our internal harmony may not be as helpful as we’ve been told. This conversation with Sara Cullen, the founder of GEM (get 20% off with code ALMOST30), brings to light some of the things that we should be considering when shopping for supplements, as well as the benefits of GEM: “anti-vitamin” alternative made with real food.. She also goes into the synergistic effects of food and how some foods work together to create greater bioavailability of nutrients, the importance of Vitamin D, why algae is the new trend in nutrition, and her story of starting a company with some great advice for any budding entrepreneurs. We also talk about: The early days of GEM and the inspiration behind it Finding out what’s in the vitamins and minerals you’re taking Reducing the amount of filler in our diets The regulation loopholes of the supplement industry Learning from the mistakes of your first company Using algae for nutrition The effectiveness of food synergy Advice for early stage entrepreneurs Find more to love at almost30.com!

When Lindsey was single, she started taking solo trips. It’s one of those things she always gets questions about: What do you recommend? How do you not freak out? How do you manage anxiety or loneliness? Being alone is a chance to come back to center and recognize your own energy, and by doing something active and engaging alone, without having to juggle others’ expectations, it can be a great opportunity to tune into your own wants, needs, and desires. She goes into the purpose of solo trips, things that might come up, the feelings around anticipation, managing excitement and anxiety, and maximizing the opportunities found in taking a trip like this. Solo trips are an incredible way to heal your soul. We also talk about: Why it’s important to be thinking about this now, during this time of year Why Lindsey started taking solo trips Planning your solo trip Spending on what’s important to you Creating a mood board Taking safety precautions Finding a balance of routine and freedom Five things Lindsey loves to do on her trips Find more to love at almost30.com!

THE INTERVIEW Sex work has a stigma... Notice:  how do you feel when you hear the title “Sex Worker”?  What assumptions do you make?  K + L want to give sex work the conversation it deserves.  Alice Little joins the girls for an intimate, enlightening, and empowering conversation about her career in sex work. She answers literally any question you’d ever want to ask a sex worker and she does not hold back. There’s something about what she does that is incredibly healing and therapeutic. There’s so much shame around expressing yourself sexually and through your body, but this conversation with Alice is educational and dynamic, which we hope will clear up the confusion about what the sex industry is all about. We also talk about: The stigma around sex work Misconceptions are sex workers The current legality of sex work in the United States The way the internet is changing the field Getting “the girlfriend experience” Where it can be empowering and disempowering Feeling good in your skin Taking care of yourself How people develop fetishes The place for porn stars Find more to love at almost30.com!

THE SOLO No matter how wonderful our mothers are, we all carry trauma from our early childhood related to them. Krista has been on a long healing journey to recover from the abandonment issues, insecurity, codependency, and narcissism that’s followed her from that relationship. And when you’re thinking about starting a family—there’s no way you want your kids treating you the way you treated your mom. Not happening. This is for all the people that felt ashamed when they didn’t have that beautiful, nurturing relationship with their mom. If you’re struggling in life to overcome the baggage created by your parents, take what you can from Krista’s own work of healing, moving on, and reforging a new relationship with her mother. We also talk about: Doing the work to heal the mother wound The issues formed through Krista’s childhood The coping mechanisms for that trauma Letting go of your past relationship Releasing expectations Showing up in your relationship Leaning into the sister relationship Being conscious of the messages we pass to our daughters Looking at our damage Find more to love at almost30.com!

THE INTERVIEW Danielle LaPorte’s books “Desire Map” and “White Hot Truth” were game changers for K+L when they first moved to LA, and they’ve followed her teachings ever since. They *go there* in this interview. We’re talking about Christ consciousness, the spiritual warfare happening in the world today, saving the children, atonement, leadership, finding peace in unstable times, living a reflective life, and so much more. She’s leaning out her spiritual menu and dropping what isn’t moving her along. She’s trying to feel her own suffering instead of distracting from it, like so many of us do. It’s pure medicine for the soul We also talk about: Maintaining peace through all the chaos of the world Our collective relationship with death The importance of forgiveness The distinction between Jesus and Christ Looking for a relationship with God Stepping into a new age “Save the Children”  Getting rid of what we don’t need Understanding true leadership Find more to love at almost30.com!

Both K + L have had amazingly transformative experiences with sound healing, from ancient practices like sound baths to modern biohacks like binaural beats. But what makes sound and mantra so exciting and special is that they are such accessible transformational tools.

THE INTERVIEW Jas the Moon Mother recently entered our orbit and has already been a grounding force in elevating our understanding of our purpose.  Jas is a human design guide and energy healer who is passionate about awakening your soul’s purpose and self-sovereignty. She’s always been years ahead of the crowd, but because of that she never really felt like part of the crowd. When she experienced her spiritual awakening, she realized how connected all life on earth is and how much we impact each other, which led to the realization that we are all part of the same source—we are all God. In this enlightening conversation, the girls talk about human design, Jas’ calling, spirituality in general, God, Christ consciousness, transformation, and our broken views about money.  We also talk about: Being ahead of your time Healing your relationship with money How what we do affects people’s lives Jas’ spiritual awakening Zero-point manifestation Applying human design in your life Reprogramming your life for the life you want The connection between human design and purpose Find more to love at almost30.com!

THE INTERVIEW One time Samantha Skelly showed up for her meditation class late, so she was offered a breathwork class instead. She was skeptical, but tried it out anyway. She thought it looked like an orgy, the energy healer leading the session told her that her brain was broken, and she bawled her eyes out… and she LOVED it. So she asked herself: how does the whole world not know we have the ability to feel this? Samantha and Lindsey dive into the life-changing experience of breathwork and how we can ALL tap into the healing available inside each and every one of us to release our minds and learn to feel again.  Lindsey found breathwork two years ago and was completely changed for the better by this practice.  In this episode, the girls share personal experiences and the soul shifting effects of this powerful healing modality.

THE INTERVIEW Gabby Bernstein certainly needs no introduction. She has this ability to be so present in her own life and share what’s happening in real-time while translating that into her new message and teaching, all with a no-BS attitude that you just have to love, and we are here for it. No matter what is going on around her or in the world, she’s found a way to anchor into her own truth and intuition, and she’s sharing how we all can do the same. As we see gurus fall from the pedestals we’ve put them on, it falls upon us to figure out what messages work and what messages don’t for ourselves. We dive into her new audiobook, “You Are The Guru,” how her relationship with eating has evolved, and the difference between surrendering and finding creative solutions. She also shares how compassion creates connection and why that is so important to foster during this time. We also talk about: How she’s feeling after postpartum depression The choices we face during times of crisis How to work through your excuses + find creative opportunities Putting on the lens of love everyday Why we can’t rely on gurus How to separate yourself from your work and allow your message to live How being a parent changes your intuition Why “Judgement Detox” is so timely right now Advice for starting a consciousness business and writing a book Find more to love at almost30.com!

THE INTERVIEW Chinae Alexander is the kind of person you just want to be friends with. She’s vulnerable about the process of improving herself and figuring shit out, but she owns who she is with  confidence. By showing the imperfect side of herself, it allows the people who follow her to see that they, too, can do the work AND be confident. Now, that’s an inspiring thing we don’t often see in the sometimes too-perfect-to-be-real world of Instagram influencers. She believes in showing up as the taste menu of yourself instead of the full ten-course meal — giving people enough of the real you to satisfy them and keep them full. In this thoughtful conversation, she dives into showing up as yourself online, finding a therapist who doesn’t freak you out, processing your emotions out loud, and handling anxiety in whatever way you can.

THE INTERVIEW Welcome to a highlight of our podcasting career: a conversation with Jay Shetty. Jay started this interview by saying “Let’s have a conversation I’ve never had before.”  And so we did. If you don’t already know and love Jay, he’s known for his viral social media videos where he teaches the principles he learned during his time as a monk. He’s now the host of the FIRE podcast, On Purpose, and author of the new book “Think Like A Monk,” and let us just say - he is everything you feel from him online and more. 😍 We don’t all have to be monks to adopt the same principles that allow them to lead lives of service and purpose. Jay shares the wisdom he gained from that time in his life and how we can bring the pillars of that lifestyle into our own lives for peace, groundedness, and connection. We dive into leadership, ego, creativity, and flow, as well as how you can stay inspired on the daily. We also go deep into his spirituality and connection to source, and it’s beautiful to hear his relationship with the universe in an easy-to-access way.

THE INTERVIEW Gabby Reece is iconic. She’s an athlete, a leader, an author, a wife, a mother, and an entrepreneur, and yet still so down-to-earth it’s kinda hard to believe. She popularized the idea of “going first” when interacting with other people: smile first, wave first, talk first, and break the tension without allowing awkwardness to grow between you. It’s a welcoming invitation to be present. She has such a liberating perspective on purpose, parenting, embracing the beauty and lessons in different phases of your life, and just being a good person on this planet. This is such an incredibly dynamic conversation from a true LEGEND that will hopefully encourage you to do things in your own way!  We also talk about: The power of going first + human connection Horizontal vs Vertical relationships Learning to know yourself outside of the “noise” Embracing your masculinity as a female Gabby’s spiritual journey Raising girls in this current environment and social media society Prioritizing movement throughout life Her self-care routine Productive confrontation in relationships Articulating from love vs. reaction Find more to love at almost30.com Resources: gabriellereece.com Podcast: gabriellereece.com/category/the-gabby-reece-show Instagram: @gabbyreece Check out our new merch collection at shopalmost30.com Laird Superfood Creamer Almost 30 is edited by Crate Media This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy

THE INTERVIEW Known as @thebirdspapaya on Instagram, Sarah Nicole Landry unpacks what it means to be out there in the world with confidence and love. Being super honest, open, and vulnerable with yourself is hard enough. Embodying that around other people is a whole different level of uncomfortable… but it’s such a transformative way to live your life!  It’s hard to slow down and think of the effect that having eyes on our social media all the time has had on our emotional and mental wellbeing—the spiral of comparison or self-doubt—but she puts it into such a clear perspective. She is still, like all of us, in process, and that’s part of what’s so beautiful about her and her story. We also talk about: Being honest about your growth and transformation instead of ashamed of your past The shame of wrapping your value up in external circumstances Hitting rock bottom and healing Having your own opinions instead of being a sponge for everyone elses Learning to heal in relationships and love The difficulties of vulnerability Find more to love at almost30.com!

THE INTERVIEW “The Law of One” is the most profound text Krista has ever read, and after reading it, she knew she HAD to share it with #almost30nation. It’s one of those texts where, after you read it, you know you will never be the same. It’s a historical text that was translated from a consciousness of the sixth dimension, known as Ra, through a woman. If you’re just starting to explore your spirituality in earnest, the book may be diving into the deep end — but if you are interested in aliens, history, sacred geometry, or metaphysics, “The Law of One” is a must read. Aaron Abke is a YouTuber + a conscious influencer. He’s done several videos where he breaks down the Law of One, and if you don’t feel that you can read the text, that’s an excellent place to start. He is the perfect person to dive DEEP into all things consciousness, dimensions, aliens, pyramids — everything K + L LOVE to talk about! We also talk about: The trajectory of Aaron’s spiritual awakening What the Law of One is The relationship between Venus and aliens The differences between dimensions and densities Why people want to skip the fourth dimension Wrestling between the two polarities of service to others or service to self The role of free will How they were able to channel Ra The elements of each density The galactic federation The healing parts of the Law of One Tarot in the Law of One   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

THE SOLO Everyone has had different experiences in quarantine and isolation — those who are enjoying it and others who are struggling & riddled with anxiety. As we see the world opening up again, we find ourselves thinking, “How can we maintain a sense of peace, groundedness, and a commitment to our evolution and growth?” That’s always been the point of this show, and this collective pause has really put a spotlight on the ways in which we must protect our energy and reflect on what’s truly important. We’ve also seen how focusing on personal growth can help us live a more aligned life and how making ourselves a priority positively affects other areas of our lives. K + L discuss how to reintegrate as the world finds its new normal and how to hold onto the lessons we learned during our time in quarantine. We also talk about: Remembering what you love about being home  Being intentional about what you miss + why Adding things back into our schedule with intention Rocking your archetypes Remembering all that you’ve learned Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

THE INTERVIEW Joseph and Lauren Sheehey are the co-owners of Cured Nutrition, a brand we are proud to say has been a partner of the podcast for years. But that’s not why they’re here today. We’re grateful that Joe and Lo decided to share vulnerably and truthfully the struggles they’ve faced in their relationship, and the ways in which they’ve been able to move forward regardless of the challenges.  We also get into how Lauren healed from her eating disorder.

THE INTERVIEW K + L are here, as always, to have real, honest conversations — ones that challenge us, make us uncomfortable, and help us grow. This conversation with Thaís Sky on white privilege and white fragility from 2018 is one of those.  These are important parts of who many of us are and what we experience that we need to look at in order to be better and do better. Our hope is that you are inspired to dismantle your attachment and support of systems that, for centuries, have contributed to blatant racism and inequality.  Enough is enough.  We ask that in listening, you have an open mind, are ready to learn, and are willing to explore how you can be a part of the change.  . We also talk about: Opportunities for growth Being addicted to our shitty thoughts + shitty people Trying not to compartmentalize our own spirituality Feeling unworthy of your own self-care: we can't show up for others if we’re not showing up for ourselves. The governmental + societal systems that keep certain groups of people oppressed How white women contribute to + benefit from racism How we can REALLY educate ourselves about systematic oppression + privilege When you have privilege, what is your place in the conversation?

THE INTERVIEW Aaron Rose is the coach that K + L have been working with to help them uncover unconscious biases, be more intentional, and nurture inclusivity. There can be so much information, news, and things we’re seeing daily that can be very triggering right now. We hear that word a lot, trigger, and it’s important for us to unpack what that really means and how we can work against that. It’s okay to be triggered, but there’s something underneath that trigger that needs to be examined. How do we fix these deep-rooted issues that go so far back? Aaron teaches us his method of inner work for dealing with triggers. We also talk about: A nuanced understanding of manifestation Finding the root cause of your feelings and allowing yourself to feel them Not policing ourselves internally What triggers are and how to deal with them How we confirm our reality Steps to deal with a trigger   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

THE INTERVIEW This week we’re bringing back an interview we had with Rachel Cargle in December of 2018 because it is incredibly relevant to things that are happening in our world today. She has done an amazing job building a platform and resources for people, she raises money for marginalized communities, and she hosts The Great Unlearn on Patreon. We’ve talked about white fragility, white supremacy, allyship, and the issue of race, and these are all things that need to be brought back to the forefront. Rachel is doing so much to show us how to engage with white supremacy, how we as white people play a huge role in the race conversations going on, and how we can be better to support anti-racism. We need to work together against the system that has created this huge rift in society. We have so much power, we need to use that power for good.

THE SOLO We’re stuck at home, and sometimes searching for something to help stimulate us. That yearning inspired Lindsey to ask herself, “What can support me, what can stimulate me, what can make me feel better?” During this time in quarantine, Lindsey has been focusing on the little things that bring her joy to bring her back to a state of gratitude. In today’s episode, Lindsey shares some of her go-to things that she’s using during this time to give her more energy, inspiration, grounding, or physical self-care.

THE INTERVIEW Welcome back to the podcast, John Wineland! He is an icon for everything conscious relationships and intimacy - he is one of our absolute FAVORITES. And he’s here to share about how our nervous system is the central point connecting our spirit, our mind, and our body. Who said science can’t be sexy? Our nervous system responses are what lead us to believe emotions are there when what we’re really experiencing is just a natural reaction, and understanding that is key to changing your relationship karma. We also check in with John about his daughter passing and how he’s processing grief.

THE SOLO Confidence is so key. Yes, we’ve all heard it before, but some things are cliché for a reason. K + L each offer three tried-and-true tips for being more confident, all born from their personal experiences. But remember — confidence is always going to be something personal to you. It doesn’t have to look the same as someone else, and it doesn’t even have to look like sunshine and rainbows. Confidence is something you work on getting closer to, and you never quite get there fully, but it’s so worth working towards all the same.

THE SOLO Everyone loves a quitter! No, really. When you’re working at a job you hate, it is so energizing to quit at the right time and in the right way. This week, Krista talks about the good — how she messed up first quitting experience — and the bad — the time she quit in order to go full-time with Almost 30. She shares what both experiences were like, how she prepared (or didn’t), how she actually knew she was ready the second time, and what happened behind the scenes. She helps demystify the signs that can give you perspective on whether you should quit your job and the steps that she took to quit responsibly and set herself up for success after quitting.

THE SOLO K + L have been wanting to connect with the community two-on-one for a while and are so excited to finally share the first of many conversations in their new series, “Community Call”! We’ve been wanting to hear from YOU - Almost 30 nation - and how you’ve been impacted by the show, taken the messages shared by guests or other members of the community, and have made serious, positive changes in your life. Joining them this week is Emily Feikls, who first discovered the podcast when she was 18 and struggling with finding like-minded friends in her rural town. At the time, Emily felt like an outsider, like she didn’t belong to any community — but she felt an instant connection to #ALMOST30NATION as soon as she found it. She then took small steps to take control of her life and live in her truth - including attending last year’s retreat and starting her very own podcast and community. Emily is an inspiration, modeling for all of us how you can alchemize pain + grief into a beautiful life that you love.

THE INTERVIEW Dr. Laurie Santos teaches a course at Yale called Psychology on the Good Life that was inspired by her experience with her college students and their depression. She took a microscope to happiness, breaking down the why and how so that she could create science-based, tactical strategies for staying happy. Dr. Santos makes it so easy to understand the value of what people usually see as “fluff.” We talk about how to honor those who are struggling (while still maintaining our own sovereignty and happiness), the importance of a wealth of time versus money, and how meditation is  a happiness cheat code. We also talk about: Adopting new social norms Why we crave social connection The hard part of happiness The causal effects of happiness The correlation between income and happiness level The importance of attitude, mindset, and behavior Time over money What we put in our body and how that affects our happiness Meditation as a happiness panacea Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

THE SOLO Trust is so, so important in any healthy relationship — that’s obvious, right? It shouldn’t be any different when it comes to ourselves. Trusting yourself and the way you live your life is transformational. We all reach a moment where it’s time to break up with this expectation — whether from our parents or someone else — of how our life was supposed to go and to trust ourselves to live life the way we want. Lindsey shares her experience making the transition from not trusting herself to a more consistent and confident level of trust and the three practices she follows to help build that self trust every day.

THE INTERVIEW Ramit Sethi’s book, I Will Teach You To Be Rich, is an absolute game-changer in the finance world. He is charismatic, grounded, and relatable — not to mention one of the most progressive voices in the financial literacy and wellness space. He does not sugar coat things, and when it comes to finances and getting really good at managing them, you have to be real about it. He infamously pushes back against the tired advice of “cutting out lattes” in order to save money. Instead, Ramit focuses on indulging in the things you actually care about and noticing when you spend money on things you don’t really care about. We also talk about: How to get over making excuses when it comes to finances The connection between human behavior and finance Getting your finances together in your 20’s Creating money rules around “yes” instead of “no” Stop worrying about things you shouldn’t How your spending changes as you grow Saving can make you feel free Making real money through investing Writing a prenup Why buying a house isn’t always better than renting Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

THE SOLO Instagram loves to kindly remind us of photos we’ve taken in the past, which can be great! But it can also invite us to criticize and compare ourselves. When this happened to Krista, what she noticed so clearly was the ways in which her body has changed over the past few years — namely, weight gain. A few months ago, Krista was in New York City reflecting on the habits and mentalities around her body and how she has shifted away from the behaviors that kept her at the lowest weight she’s ever been. She has been learning how to live with her new body and wanted to share how she deals with body image issues, how her relationship with her body has changed over time, and some tips and resources regarding health and diet.   We also talk about: How being okay with your body is an act of defiance Mindset is the problem, not body The energy we waste worrying about our bodies Motivating yourself to do what you know is healthy Answering your questions about body acceptance Not letting the patriarchy win Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

She shares what was written in the stars when the virus came and things started to shift, when it looks like we’re going to get out of it, what every sign needs to be doing during this time, what transitions in astrology we need to be aware of over the coming year, and what the new normal will look like on the other side of this.

You may feel stuck now, and it’s okay to grieve for the loss of normalcy, but this too shall pass.

She’s an unshakable force, even during this period of uncertainty, and she is fully anchored in what we need to do to move through it. Her activism is a call to action for what needs to be done. During this conversation, we talk about what it was like running for president + how she felt choosing to end that campaign, the chronic disengagement from politics + why we are all so disconnected from the process, and what she learned about herself during this process.

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.

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.

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?

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 Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

Today’s conversation highlights how the heartbreaking “no’s” we receive in life can take us in a better and more meaningful direction. Our guest is Sheri Salata, whose humor and wild spirit is infectious. After a twenty year career as the Executive Producer of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Sheri is now the author of The Beautiful No, co-host of The Sheri + Nancy Show, and co-founder of thepillarlife.com.   Our conversation begins with an emotional recounting of when Sheri’s brother passed away suddenly from a heart attack nine years ago. For years, she avoided processing her grief by immersing herself in work and caring for family. She shares the ways she was able to move through her grief by deepening her spirituality and making self-care a top priority every single day.   Sheri’s humor and honesty as she reflects on every single job she’s had, how each one has made her who she is today as an entrepreneur, and how the No’s ultimately gave her everything she needed to succeed, one lesson at a time. From managing a convenience store and a toy store, to working as a secretary. Sheri has started over and felt lost countless times, but kept searching for something to fill her with meaning. At age 35, she landed an entry level job at The Oprah Winfrey Show, and finally found what she was searching for—purpose.   We also talk about: Using gratitude for your growth Importance of dreaming and creating Uplifting others, seeing their potential and verbalizing it Being choosy about who you share your space with Cherishing our bodies in a deliberate way Sheri’s decision to have a plant-based diet   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more: thepillarlife.com Instagram: @sherisalata Listen: The Sheri + Nancy Show Book: The Beautiful No   Upcoming Events: July 27th: San Francisco with Lacy Phillips August 17th: The Workshop by PodcastPro in Los Angeles with K + L September 12th: Los Angeles with Nicole Lapin   Sponsors: HUM Nutrition | Use code ALMOST30NATION for 15% off at humnutrition.com Ana Luisa | Use code ALMOST30 for $10 off a $50 order at analuisa.com Athletic Greens | Get 20 travel packs FREE ($79 value) with your first purchase at www.athleticgreens.com/almost30 Chosen Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off at chosenfoods.com/almost30 Article | www.article.com/ALMOST30 for $50 off a purchase of $100 or more SAKARA | Go to sakara.com/almost30 and use code ALMOST30 for $60 off your first order Almost 30 is edited by Crate Media This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy

Today we are sitting down with author, mother, and one of our favorite humans, Peta Kelly. Let us give you a few reasons why we love this woman so much: 1) Peta holds family as one of her greatest values 2) She is funny as hell 3) She walks the talk 4) She has taught us how to have hard conversations 4) She is constantly evolving without needing anything from anyone.  The list continues to grow—especially after today’s interview.   Since becoming a mom, she has really focused on the intimacy of motherhood, and shares the outside fears pushed on her during pregnancy, and the trust she maintained within herself. Peta explains what ancestral healing is and the work she does to help heal the painful experiences of her family’s past, like having open conversations with her husband.    While in her twenties, Peta focused on soul growth, while working hard as an entrepreneur to set herself up financially before moving into motherhood. We discuss how she’s evolved spiritually since then, since writing her book, Earth is Hiring, and how her self-care rituals, such as stepping off of social media and Cacao ceremonies, have changed since becoming a mom. We could talk to our girl all day, but we hope this conversation will fill you up for a while—self-expression, personal growth, and relationships—LET’S GO!

Our relationship with Mother Earth, and the need for even the smallest of actions to protect her, is our focus in today’s podcast with Ayana Young. She is the founder of the nonprofit For The Wild which now encompasses the 1 Million Redwoods reforestation project, For the Wild podcast, and a new spinoff series birthed from a preservation campaign around the Tongass National Forest. Ayana’s journey as an advocate and protector of our Earth began when she was studying Ecology at Columbia University.  She eventually dropped out to become a full time political organizer. She intertwined the environmental concerns with the “Occupy Wall Street” movement to bring awareness to the decline of our planet’s health.   Ayana’s passion comes through as she illustrates how we are connected to everything; our modern lives are directly related to taking resources from the planet and not reciprocating. She explains the detriments of logging and building dams and howgold mining has created genocide in the west by producing high volumes of waste water. She urges us to invest in our local communities, and to educate ourselves and become more aware of climate change even when it’s overwhelming and heartbreaking. Ayana shares how she recommits herself to the Earth every day, and how each of us can reestablish that connection.   We also talk about: The politics behind forest fires What organic really means Funding of scientific studies The extinction of animals Being a steward of the earth   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn: forthewild.world Listen: For The Wild Instagram: @for.the.wild Twitter: @ForTheWild_ Facebook: For The Wild  Email: [email protected]   Upcoming Events: Almost 30 Tour   Sponsors: HUM Nutrition | Use code ALMOST30NATION for 15% off at humnutrition.com Sanctuary World | sanctuaryworld.co or in app store Sanctuary Astrology Chosen Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off at chosenfoods.com/almost30 Daily Harvest | Use code ALMOST30 for 3 FREE Cups in your first box at www.daily-harvest.com Skinny Dipped | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% off at skinnydipped.com Almost 30 is edited by Crate Media This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy

This episode if for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from their body and intuition, for anyone navigating life after betrayal and for anyone wanting to forgive others and themselves. This is an intimate conversation on relationships, trust, listening to your physical and emotional bodies. Joining us is physical therapist Dr. Jen Esquer, founder of the The Mobility Method, known for relieving pain, preventing injury, and optimizing movement. Jen is all about affecting change in the body through education, movement, and building appreciation for what our unique bodies are capable of doing.   But we are honored to have Jen talk about more than mobility today. She opens up about her past relationship ending in infidelity, the way she handled the heartbreak, and how connected she became to her inner knowing. It really struck a chord with us when she discusses the importance of having friends that can hold a safe space, without judgment, to release the spectrum of emotions that may arise. We unpack the benefits of breathwork and the effect it can have on your parasympathetic nervous system.  For example, it allows one to release emotions so they don’t stay trapped. Jen gives a generous tool box if we ever lose ourselves in someone or a situation and want to reconnect with who we really are.   We also talk about: Knowing when to leave and when to work on a relationship How our triggers may affect other people Finding forgiveness for yourself Expectations versus reality (when someone shows you who they are, believe them!)  Understanding pain, mobility, and breath   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Instagram: @docjenfit Learn more: docjenfit.com   Upcoming Events: Almost 30 Tour   Sponsors: Four Sigmatic | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your order at foursigmatic.com/almost30 Lola | Use code ALMOST30 for 40% off all subscriptions at mylola.com Buffy | Go to www.buffy.co use code ALMOST30 for $20 off Doordash | Download the doordash app and use code ALMOST30 for $5 off your first order of $15 or more Third Love | Head to thirdlove.com/almost30 for 15% off!

Our guests today are Danika Brysha and Billy Haley! Danika is our dear friend and the founder and CEO of Model Meals, as well as a successful model.. Billy is a private chef and the owner of Culinary Recovery Foods. Together, the two toured the United States in 2018 to host The Brunch Series, a workshop style gathering to define and design self-care for each woman in attendance.  Lindsey and Krista had the privilege of attending the series in Boston and were blown away by how Danika’s vulnerability and strength empowered every woman there to take an honest look at where they could be taking better care of their mind, body and spirit.  In our conversation today, we hear from Danika and Billy in the middle of their conscious uncoupling, speaking on how that has been both healthy for their relationship together and incredibly painful at times.. This episode is for those trying to navigate relationships, those struggling to understand loved ones in recovery, for those in relationships where you aren’t sure of the outcome but know you need space, and for human beings who are dying to communicate honestly and openly with those they love most.. We are honored that Danika and Billy  chose our platform to share their experiences and current status   We also talk about: Planning out the Brunch Series Discovering their codependency dynamic Having intuitive hits in the relationship Shame from the past overpowering love from family and friends The importance of doing the work on yourself Mindful masculinity and what it means to Danika and Billy Using energy work and hypnotherapy to heal Recovery steps being applicable to anyone Billy’s relationship with a higher power Having real, honest conversations   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more: danikabrysha.com ; culinaryrecoverfoods.com Instagram: @danikabrysha ; @culinaryrecovery Read: Codependent No More by Melody Beattie   Upcoming Events: May 30th: Denver with Natalie Miles June 20th: Los Angeles with Bree Melanson Almost 30 Retreat   Sponsors: Chosen Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off at chosenfoods.com/almost30 Honeybook | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off the first year of Honeybook at honeybook.com Article | www.article.com/ALMOST30 for $50 off a purchase of $100 or more Calm | Get 25% off a Calm premium subscription at www.calm.com/almost30 Almost 30 is edited by Crate Media This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy

Today we have Dr. Jeff McNairy from Rythmia joining us on the podcast. Dr. McNairy is bridging the gap between ancient modalities and western psychology through plant medicine practices. Dr. McNairy has worked in a variety of medical environments and seen the struggle individuals have when actually trying to heal. Through Dr. McNairy’s intense experience with the most desperate patient populations (addiction, acute mental health, and trauma), he has seen that the only real healing can come from within. In this conversation, recorded in Costa Rica at Rythmia, Dr. McNairy shares the medical perspective on what is happening in our brains and bodies while taking plant medicine, what about the medicine is creating the reprogramming, and his own personal journey of connecting with Gerard Powell and joining the team at Rythmia.   We also talk about: Jeff’s work at Passages Malibu Why we face our traumas while taking plant medicine Purging and why that happens How to dose ayahuasca The research aspects of plant medicine Jeff’s favorite stories from working at Rythmia Preparing for an ayahuasca experience   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more: jeffmcnairy.com   Upcoming Events: May 30th: Denver with Natalie Miles June 20th: Los Angeles with Bree Melanson   Sponsors: HUM Nutrition | Use code ALMOST30NATION for 15% off at humnutrition.com Sweaty Betty | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off at sweatybetty.com Chosen Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off at chosenfoods.com/almost30 Further Food | Use code ALMOST30 for 30% off your purchase at shop.furtherfood.com/discount/ALMOST30 Four Sigmatic | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your order at foursigmatic.com/almost30 Almost 30 is edited by Crate Media This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy

We are so grateful for today’s episode and today’s guest, sharing her story and providing an inside look at what it’s like to be a social worker in the foster care system today. On a previous episode, we had mentioned how we’d like to be educated more on the foster care system, and an incredible member of #almost30nation reached out to share her story. This conversation today is emotional, insightful, and is sure to offer you a clearer picture of the field of social work and the world foster kids live in today.   Words from our guest: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working and residing in Los Angeles County. I work with children, teenagers, and families with severe histories of trauma and mental illness. The children and families I work with are a part of the LA County foster care system. I support my clients by helping them process their trauma, empowering them to reach their full potential, advocating for their needs, navigating the foster care system, and guiding them through the roller coaster journey they are on. I have never met more resilient people than my clients, and they inspire me to do this challenging work and be the best version of myself day in and day out.   I am originally from the Bay Area and moved to the East Coast to complete my Master of Social Work (MSW) program at New York University. About 5 years ago, I moved to Los Angeles and began working within the LA County Department of Mental Health and Department of Children and Family Services. I was working with a 13 yr old female client who was very suicidal. I was going to her home 3-4 times weekly for therapy sessions to ensure she was safe, had someone to talk to, and could work through her suicidal thoughts. As our time was coming to an end, we wrote each other letters as part of our termination and goodbye process. In her letter to me she wrote, "thank you for letting me realize that life is worth living" THIS is the reason I do what I do.   Helping one person might not change the whole world, but it can change the world for one person. Honestly, that is what motivates me day in and day in. That is what I find so rewarding about my job. I know I am not going to “save” all my clients. I know some will fall through the cracks. But I also know that if I can make an impact on just one child, that I am helping change the world for that one person.   Statistics (from CASA organization): Foster youth in LA is 30,000 33% of California’s foster youth currently reside in LA County 73% of foster youth have spent two or more years in the system 38% of youth have had five or more foster care placements Less than 50% of foster youth graduate from high school and only 3% graduate from college 33% of girls in foster care become pregnant at least once by age 17 25% of youth aging out of foster care will be incarcerated within two years At age 19, 60% of former foster youth are unemployed 27% of the homeless population spent time in foster care Only 3% graduate from college Half of all young adults who age out of foster care end up homeless or incarcerated. 75% of young women in foster care report at least one pregnancy by age 21   We also talk about…   Being in court with her client + the back and forth of cases What drew her to the field of social work Educating others on the foster care system + the money involved in fostering Vetting to be a foster parent How a child ends up in the foster care system Signs of abuse to look out for Working with rauma Preparing for a child a loving family The types of therapies that she uses with her clients Fost-Adopt + adoption and how to go about it in the US The process to work in social work Figuring out boundaries and self-care How we can help   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Watch: How The Brain Can Change ; Christian the Lion Short Term 12 Nadine Burke on Trauma CASA   Upcoming Events: May 4th: London with Millana Snow May 7th: London with Peta Kelly     Sponsors: Quip | Right now, you can get your first refill pack for free with a quip ole citric toothbrush by using the code ALMOST30 on getquip.com Kopari | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% your first order at koparibeauty.com Article | www.article.com/ALMOST30 for $50 off a purchase of $100 or more Silver Fern | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% off your first order at silverfernbrand.com Get ready L.A., Stacks House is about to make it rain.

Daniela Kende, holistic health coach and natural birthing expert, joins us on today’s episode. Daniela runs her coaching programs on the foundation that no one knows your body better than you do– how refreshing is that?

In today’s conversation, we go deep into nutrition while pregnant and trying to get pregnant– what to eat, what to pay attention to, and ultimately figuring out what works best for you. Daniela also shares her own personal pregnancy journey, her labor story, what it’s been like since her daughter was born, and the conversation around having a natural birth at a hospital.   We also talk about…   Taking herbs during pregnancy Morning sickness What a doula is, and why Daniela decided to use one The different trimesters in pregnancy Other lifestyle changes and adaptations that she made while pregnant The benefits of delayed cord clamping + ingesting the placenta The effect on the pelvic floor Being a part of the motherhood community Daniela’s advice for moms and mom’s to be   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more: danielakende.com Instagram: @danielakende Designs for Health vitamins Read: The First Forty Days by Amely Greeven ; Guide to Childbirth by Ina May ; Natural Hospital Birth by Cynthia Gabriel yourpodcastpro.com     Upcoming Events: March 26th: Rachel Rosen Event College Tour: Email [email protected]    Hotline : 1 (424) 272-1853   Sponsors: Article | www.article.com/ALMOST30 for $50 off a purchase of $100 or more HUM Nutrition | Use code ALMOST30NATION for 15% off at humnutrition.com Alterra Pure | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off at alterrapure.com Daily Harvest | Use code ALMOST30 for 3 FREE Cups in your first box at www.daily-harvest.com The Almost 30 Podcast is edited by Podcast Masters This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy

We are often asked what balance looks like for us, and honestly, we don’t know!  There is an incredible plus balance looks different to every person. We were part of an event put on by us, Youtube, and Dermalogica on International Women’s Day, surrounding the topic that balance is BS. Achieving balance in life is such a trendy thing to talk about, and at this event, we sat alongside other amazing women to debunk the idea of balance. The panel featured Danika Brysha, Sara Tan, Deepica Mutyala, and Jane Wurwand. Each woman offered so much value and insight to business, entrepreneurism, and this idea that balance is BS. We are so excited for you to give this episode a listen.   We also talk about…   Defining milestones for Jane What led Danika to the creation of Model Meals Deepica + Sara on creating boundaries The unsexy side of entrepreneurism and business Different missteps and mistakes we look back on How everyone balances work and personal life Advice for female founder just starting out     Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Follow each panelist on Instagram: @danikabrysha ; @saratan ; @deepica ; @janewurwand Danika’s self-care checklist   Upcoming Events: March 26th: Rachel Rosen Event College Tour: Email [email protected]    Hotline : 1 (424) 272-1853   Sponsors: Article | www.article.com/ALMOST30 for $50 off a purchase of $100 or more HUM Nutrition | Use code ALMOST30NATION for 15% off at humnutrition.com Silver Fern | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% off your first order at silverfernbrand.com Robinhood | Robinhood is giving listeners a FREE stock like Apple, Ford, or Sprint to help build your portfolio!

Our fans are always submitting new flavor ideas and lime has long been one of the most popular requests.” says Bill Creelman, founder and CEO of Spindrift, “Lime is actually the most popular flavor in the flavored sparkling water category, but Spindrift is the first brand with scale to make it with real squeezed lime juice.” In the excitement to tell the world about the new flavor release, the team noticed that there was a whole basket of fruit emojis – but no lime. Enlisting the help of their community, Spindrift looks to rally those on social media seeking to complete their citrus expression with the tiny lime emoji. To support Spindrift’s commitment to giving back, during the WHY #NOLIMEEMOJI? campaign, Spindrift will donate $1 for every Instagram or Twitter post using #NoLimeEmoji to Whole Kids Foundation (up to $50,000 dollars) through March 31, 2019.

We have been big fans of Iliza Shlesinger for-ev-er.  Her ability to find humor to connect people around important topics, to stay relevant and inclusive, and to make audiences laugh show after show, is so inspiring.  Iliza has been a comedian for over a decade now, but since winning Season 6 of Last Comic Standing, she has truly been unstoppable and ever-evolving.  With four Netflix comedy specials, a co-star in her first movie out next year, her 5th special on the horizon, and material that is vulnerable, empowering, and hilarious, Iliza is making people laugh and think. . We talk about what it’s like to be recognized in public, positive and negative feedback from society, and what it’s like to be a powerhouse woman in comedy. With Iliza working on a new movie, we also take a minute to laugh over our fake Boston accents!     It’s so refreshing to watch Iliza perform.  Whether she’s in character as a gazelle or herself, there is truth in both.  You can tell she has been herself since day one.

We are taking a look into the cosmos today with astrologer, Aliza Kelly! At times, astrology can be confusing, but Aliza’s super down to Earth approach makes astrology so much easier to digest and understand. Aliza serves as the in-house astrologer and occult story columnist for Allure Magazine, as well as creating the moneyscopes for Cheddar.com. She shares with us how her uncle peaked her interest in the world of astrology, but how she didn’t fully immerse herself in the world until many years later, when she created a dating app rooted in astrological compatibility. In our conversation, we talk all about eclipses, retrogrades, and saturn returns - oh my! We also quickly discover the ties that the planetary alignment has with the political atmosphere, relationships, and how we can all use astrology as a window to take a look into the future. Listen up as Aliza gives a glimpse into each planet to helps us all understand our own sign, and why we have the characteristics that we do. The Mixology of Astrology, Aliza’s new book, just came out - be sure to grab a copy to better understand how astrology can be used in all aspects of your life, even down to the happy hour drink you sip on!   We also talk about...

This conversation with Adi was so refreshing, and totally necessary given today’s climate. He is very clear with his points, his intentions, and his message surrounding drugs and addiction. Adi Jaffe, PhD, is a research psychologist, addiction specialist, and founder of IGNTD - Igniting Lives Beyond Limits. A nationally recognized speaker and expert on mental health and stigma, he has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, Good Morning America, CNN and more. His Tedx Talk on shame has been seen by nearly 500,000 people. Adi’s approach to addiction is so incredible, as he lifts the shame around it to make it more suitable for progression and healing, offering grace in a conversation that tends to have none. Adi’s own story is beautiful, and we appreciate his openness and honesty in sharing it with us all. We take a deep dive into who Adi was before he met Sophie — from selling ecstasy, to struggling with depression, to beginning to experiment with harder drugs, like meth. We hear the differences between the drugs he took, and how with each step he took, the harder it was to break free from the addiction. Adi also shares the reality of trying to rebuild a life after addiction and a criminal record, and the beginning stages of his relationship with Sophie. It is truly their differences that make the relationship strong, balanced, and beautiful. Adi tells us all about his brand new book, The Abstinence Myth, and what sparked this incredible take on the connection between abstinence and addiction.   We also talk about...

We are hanging with our soul sister, the funny + beautiful, Sahara Rose. Everyone in our Secret Facebook group can’t stop talking about our first ever episode with Sahara, over a year ago. With her new GORGEOUS cookbook, Eat Feel Fresh, being released, we knew we had to have her back on. Sahara created this cookbook as a way to bring the beauty of Ayurveda to modern times in easy, accessible recipes that are sure to help you live more aligned with your doshas. In the episode, you’ll get a run down of the 3 doshas (for a deeper look, listen to our first episode with Sahara), how she brought India to life in the pages of her new cookbook, and why it was important to her to work with local photographers for this project. We all had a good laugh over how Vata Lindsey is, and how Pitta Krista is - but Krista with those beautiful Kapha cheeks and Lindsey spending time on the toilet like a true Pitta, we dive into possible combos! PLUS the why behind the recipes Sahara chose to put in her cookbook. We also dish on dosha’s! Sahara shares why she knew she wanted to be with a Pitta guy, and how her dating experience with a Kapha helped her come to that realization. The two of us just couldn’t love this girl any more.   We also discuss...

Recent discussions in our Secret Facebook group inspired today’s episode.  So many of you have turned to the group for guidance and advice surrounding the pain of grief and loss.  How do we cope? Does it get easier? When our loved one’s pass, where do they go and how do they feel? Tim Braun is a world-renowned medium who has performed over 15,000 individual sittings across two decades, and has become the medium people connect with to heal in the wake of losing a loved one or immense loss.   Tim is so kind, funny, and intentional.  He does not filter what comes through from the other side.  His gift is to bring forth the messages from loved ones passed to those still in the physical world.  Lindsey has been sitting with Tim once a year for about three years. Each time, she experiences deep healing in connecting with her loved ones and friends who have passed.  Often times they have messages for her about what is currently happening in her life, which is immensely comforting and affirming that they are with us always.   We discuss… Lindsey and Krista’s reading with Tim Healthy ego + staying within our humbleness When Tim realized he had his gift + how he learned to use it Tim’s aspirations to be a talk show host Getting some answers about aliens, psychics, and more Tim’s skepticism When we pass over What Tim sees, hears, and feels during a reading Grief, loss, and how to cope Everyone has intuition!!

#Almost30nation! Hello friends! Excited to introduce you to this week’s guest. Evita Robinson founded the NOMADNESS Travel Tribe, a first-of-its-kind movement bringing together and representing the underrepresented in mainstream travel. Their mission is to show the world that travel has no racial, gender, religious, economic, or interest limitations through community representation and relevancy (like the $50,000,000 being injected into the travel industry every year).   In today’s political climate, it’s more important than ever to get out and travel, meet different people, and immerse yourself in diverse cultures. It allows us to gain perspective and see ourselves as just a part of humanity; something to keep you modest, keep you grounded, and keep you connected to what’s REAL! We love the way Evita embodies this, and we know you are all going to love her.   We discuss…   A stark view of how people of color are underrepresented in the travel industry The highs and lows of NOMADNESS’ group travel events (but mostly highs) How NOMADNESS came to be Reverse culture shock: when home feels like a foreign country How Evita approaches building a community Navigating a new challenge + stepping into your light How social media changed travel Evita’s relationship with spirituality The Airbnb experience for people of color + partnering with Airbnb Why you need people of color in your marketing teams + HR Creating safe + sacred spaces What’s next for NOMADNESS: the first U.S. festival for travelers of color!   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more | nomadnesstv.com Instagram | @evierobbie Twitter | @evierobbie Look glam & give back with Evita’s lipstick | compassbyevita.com Brass Clothing | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your first order at www.brassclothing.com WOO FOR PLAY | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off at wooforplay.com Uwila Warrior | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off at uwilawarrior.com/almost30 FabFitFun | Use code ALMOST30 for $10 off at fabfitfun.com Mowellens | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off your first purchase at mowellens.com Chosen Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off at chosenfoods.com/almost30 The Almost 30 Podcast is edited by Podcast Masters This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy

Robyn Youkilis is here and ready to talk gut health, emotional weight, and how we can take care of our bodies to better connect with our intuition. This is a girl who knows her genius – healing your gut + your emotional well-being – and we really admire the honesty and consistency in the way she communicates. We also fell in love with Robyn’s most recent book, Thin from Within: The Go with Your Gut Way to Lose Weight, a coaching guide and cookbook mashup that is designed to help you optimize your digestion and shed emotional and physical weight from the inside out.   And here’s a fun fact: Robyn is also intuitive, and she weaves that into her nutrition practice in some beautiful, effective ways.

Alix Peabody founded Bev, the rosé “made by chicks” and drank by, well, anyone who enjoys a tasty rosé wine!     We admire the way that Alix walks the walk and talks the talk, nurturing Bev into not just a beverage company but also a mission-driven brand dedicated to female empowerment. Her story is wild, and she’s been a mentor to us over the past few crazy months. She’s helping us grow and spread our wings – and we know she’ll be an expander for you too!   We discuss…   The Bev mission statement Going on destination first dates (like Hawaii with a guy you’ve never met before) How the male-dominated social scene in college led Alix down the path to starting Bev Experiencing ovarian torsion Creating the first bar designed with women in mind Investing her 401k into rosé Finding a wine supplier on Hinge Attending four high schools in three countries The loophole that allows Bev to sell wine directly to consumers, without a distributor What people don’t see in building a business Working in and running a business with radical transparency Knowing your worth   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Want to try Bev?

Alok Vaid-Menon is a gender non-conforming performance artist, writer, and educator.  Taken from Alok’s own writing “In a world that requires everyone to 'pass' within two discrete categories of 'man' OR 'woman' what would it mean for gender non-conformity to be regarded as beautiful, desirable, legitimate, and worthy?”.  They are performing, speaking, and writing from their soul to connect through differences and challenge the archaic social construct that is gender.   Alok is so comfortable in their skin and their glam, and the confidence is infectious! We had a ton of fun chatting with them, soaking in their poetic words – and we know you’re going to leave this episode with a little bit more hope, a little bit more inspiration, and new ways to challenge the current paradigm!   We talk about…   The ins and outs of your passion being your business Growing up (emotionally repressed) in a small Texas town Southern “politeness” Balancing being a strong example for others + being a complex, flawed human Why it hurts when we turn someone into a metaphor and a symbol Visibility does not mean safety for women and trans people Where Alok developed their emotional vocabulary Gender + shame Learning not to fear their own gender nonconformity The psychology of fascism Why Alok is frustrated by the individualism of self-care The people who bully us want to be us Aesthetics as political resistance Violence against gender non-conforming individuals has escalated over the past few years What we can all do, every day, to challenge the current paradigm   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more | alokvmenon.com Instagram | @alokvmenon Twitter | @alokvmenon YouTube | youtube.com/channel/UCG_G2mCoGdNUIOPaPrgorHg Chosen Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off at chosenfoods.com/almost30 Après | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off at drinkapres.com Calm | Get 25% off a Calm premium subscription at www.calm.com/almost30 Simple Contacts | Use code ALMOST30 to save $20 at simplecontacts.com/almost30 MaxiClimber | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off + free S&H + more than $50 of BONUS accessories at maxiclimber.com Bioclarity | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off your 1st order + free shipping at bioclarity.com The Almost 30 Podcast is edited by Podcast Masters This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy

Stewart Pearce is a world-renowned voice coach, an intuitive, and a seer of forty years. He was the highlight of a SoulCycle Legends retreat that Lindsey attended and, after teaching her how to find her true tone, we knew we had to introduce Stewart to all of you..   How many of us have a different voice that  answers the phone, that leads meetings, that  talks to a partner, that talks to children? Kind of crazy right?  As women, we often pitch up to sound more lady-like--yet, disconnected from our belly breath and gut instinct.  Your voice is connected to so much more than just your larynx – it’s deeply emotional + spiritual, and today we explore the dynamics of that relationship. We wanted to know what it meant and what it felt like to express from your true tone.  Also, as a special treat, Stewart leads us through a beautiful meditation in finding our true note!   We talk about…   Expressing your highest self Stewart’s ethereal experience with sound Growing up synaesthetic Grounding yourself in the human experience The relationship between exploring your sexual being + the development of your voice Being a spiritual being having a human experience How our relationships with the people around us affect our voice Why we need to meditate The physicality of your voice Grounding yourself Stewart’s relationship with Princess Diana   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more | stewartpearce.com + theangelsofatlantis.com Instagram | @stewartandtheangels Facebook | facebook.com/StewartPearceSoundHealer Twitter | @StewartPearce Read | The Alchemy of Voice Read | The Heart’s Note Four Sigmatic | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your order at foursigmatic.com/almost30 WOO FOR PLAY | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off at wooforplay.com Fabletics | sign up for VIP membership and get 2 leggings for $24 at www.fabletics.com/almost30 Stitch Fix | Get 25% off when you keep all 5 personally styled items from stitchfix.com/almost30 HUM Nutrition | Use code ALMOST30NATION for 15% off at humnutrition.com Bombas | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% off your 1st order at Bombas.com/almost30 The Almost 30 Podcast is edited by Podcast Masters This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy

Today we chat with a great friend of ours, Lynnette Astaire, the Founder of Superfood School. Lynnette has an incredible story and a fascinating relationship with food, a tool she’s used to overcome PCOS and radiate from the inside out.   Just as a disclaimer for this episode: we talk a lot about juice fasting, but we’re not pushing anything or suggesting anyone do a fast necessarily. Our philosophy is always do what is best for your body! But Lynette’s take on fasting and the science behind it is unique.  We loved digging into the mental and spiritual awakenings she experiences during her fasts.   We talk about...   Lynnette’s famous green juice The two different types of juicers Why the most important part of a fast is how you break it Lynnette’s journey with food An entrepreneurial Rice Krispie Treat story Learning how to run a franchise The origins of Superfood School Lynnette’s favorite superfoods What you can do to get the nutrients you need when life is just too busy The controversy around smoothies + juice fasting How to break a sugar addiction Impossible Burger VS Beyond Burger What makes a healthy snack bar?

A few weeks ago, Lindsey + Krista had the pleasure of hosting a live conversation and Q+A with John Wineland, a transformational relationship expert, a spiritual intimacy teacher, and the guest on episode 96 + episode 97 of this show. John led the audience through a conversation about practicing the art of embodiment, intimate communication, and feeling for better relationships and a deeper connection in your love life.   And as always, #ALMOST30NATION was so open and vulnerable with their questions.  Questions answered touched on topics like intimacy and dating, the energetic dynamics of a relationship, sex, and so much more. (Of course, we’ll also be chatting all about it in the Secret Facebook Group!)   We discuss…   The 3 layers of sex: physical, emotional, & energetic Masculine essence + sex Yogic practices for strengthening your consciousness + turning your body into an invitation for love Do you have a masculine or feminine energy? Maybe both? Cultivating both your feminine + your masculine You can have a conscious one night stand How to live thriving, energized lives aligned with a deep purpose Invaluable tools that evoke the best from your partners for years to come How to reinvigorate relationships full of love, connection – and sex!

She has experienced exponential growth over the last 8 years because she filled a gap in the market at the perfect time.  105+ Drybar locations (doing 1.2 million blowouts every year), developing a hair care product line, writing a New York Times bestseller, and raising two incredible children.   Alli is down-to-earth, funny, present and so, so kind.  This powerhouse was recently on Fortune’s 40 Under 40 list—GOALS.  She took time away from her busy schedule for an afternoon with us.

Thais Sky is a truth speaker, healer, women's coach, and feminist on a heart-led mission to have important conversations at the intersection of feminism + spirituality, and today she’s re-joining Lindsey + Krista to once again tackle some really big questions: How can we begin to dismantle our unconscious biases?  How can we all be better allies to one another? And how can we provide a safe space for more conversations like these?   We are constantly striving to evolve ourselves and this show by bringing more diverse voices into the conversation –as always, we are learning right along with you all.  So thank you for being to open and vulnerable   This episode includes…   Opportunities for growth Being addicted to our shitty thoughts + shitty people Trying not to compartmentalize our own spirituality Feeling unworthy of your own self-care We can't show up for others if we’re not showing up for ourselves. Everything is about power dynamics The governmental + societal systems that keep certain groups of people oppressed How white women contribute to + benefit from racism How we can REALLY educate ourselves about systematic oppression + privilege If you don’t look at a wound, if you don’t take care of it, it’s going to get worse As privileged white girls, what is our place in the conversation? With privilege comes responsibility Living in an emotionally illiterate culture “You can’t love other people until you love yourself” sounds really nice – but that’s not necessarily the case!

Carly Stein lives and breathes bees. She is a beekeeper herself, an advocate for saving the bees (and our food supply) through sustainable beekeeping, and the Founder + CEO of Beekeeper’s Naturals.   If you haven’t heard of it yet, Beekeeper’s Naturals is an incredible company with a simple purpose: to bring us the highest quality products from the hive and nurture a greater awareness for saving our bees. Their naturally-sourced superfoods are effective alternatives to some of your typical, chemical-based OTC medicines – and these superfoods have become an important part of Lindsey + Krista’s daily routines as of late, helping them feel their best by leveraging the magic of nature!   Carly’s story also has a way of making you want to keep bees, too! Should we?!?!  She’s so smart, so kind, and on a mission to #savethebees. This episode’s conversation includes…   How propolis changed Carly’s life + not being able to find any in Vancouver inspired her to start Beekeeper’s Naturals Falling in love with beekeeping The female-driven bee society Why “organic” honey is actually extremely difficult to produce (even if it’s made on an organic farm) Why we’re losing a disproportionate number of bees – and why that’s a HUGE problem!

You’ve probably already heard of Dave Asprey, or at least Bulletproof Coffee and the Bulletproof Diet. It’s pretty much grown from a trend to a phenomenon over the past couple years. Lindsey + Krista, honestly, didn’t quite know what Dave would be like in an interview – but Dave really showed up for this conversation and, as you’ll hear, he is truly passionate about the brand, the mission, and the movement behind Bulletproof.   We were also able to ask a lot of your questions in this episode!

You may not know it (at least not yet), but your family story might be the one thing holding you back from success.   We can’t change our parents or our family – and we can’t change what’s already happened – but we can change our perception around it. Unresolved traumatic events in your family can hinder how happiness and success flow to us in the present and future.  Marine Sélénée is a Family Constellations specialist who is dedicated to bringing peace, love, and respect to families. Krista + Lindsey can attest that Family Constellations will help you break free from any negative painful patterns – and it will be life changing.   After hitting rock bottom at the age of 25, Marine started her own healing journey and discovered the power of Family Constellations firsthand. Now she shares that gift with others, helping people finally bring order back to their lives, make peace with what was, and accept what they did receive and did not receive. We talk about…   Moving from France to the U.S. Hitting rock bottom at the age of 25 + going through a spiritual awakening Starving to be be seen, to be heard, and to be recognized Everyone has a different perception Why you can’t heal unconscious, underlying problems in your family – you need to unearth them The little boy or girl inside of you who is just waiting to be seen or heard Storing trauma in your body + healing it When a mom or dad might need their kid to take care of them How to discover what affected you subconsciously Why parents need to respect their children enough to tell them the truth, even when it’s hard How you can be impacted by past generations, beyond your mother and father Practicing acceptance + respect Do we choose our parents?

Last time Lindsey + Krista talked to Lacy Phillips, the creative spirit and Manifestation Advisor behind Free and Native, she taught us how to manifest our dream lives. It was a life-changing conversation and we are all honored by the incredible support that #ALMOST30NATION has offered Lacy since. But we had to have Lacy back on the show because she has come so far since we last spoke to her!   One of Lacy’s gifts (and one of the reasons we love her so much) is that she’s an expander... she’s just so grounded and real, so comforting and inspiring, constantly holding a space for others to realize their own sense of self. We can’t say enough good things about her and we know this episode is going to change lives!   We discuss…   Overcoming whatever is blocking your opulence + abundance De-conditioning what we’ve learned about money Closing the portals in your life that don’t serve you Unblocking your shadow Filling the void in manifestation education Understanding the energetics of manifestation Finding expanders How to differentiate between a sign and a test An exercise you can do to tap into your body + practice intuiting The 4 elements of pure magnetism   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Check it out | FreeAndNative.com Unblock Your Shadow | freeandnative.com/unblocked-shadow The Four Elements of Magnetism | "Introducing the 4 Elements of Magnetism" Instagram | @freeandnative Facebook | facebook.com/freeandnative Twitter | @freeandnative Want an Almost 30 necklace? | I Am Enough X #Almost30Nation Necklace Get a Bio-Mat | bio-mats.com/imva/store/bio-mat Check out Jamie Graber for Reiki in NYC | organicallyjamie.com Vitruvi | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% off at vitruvi.com Silver Fern | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your first order at silverfernbrand.com WOO FOR PLAY | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off at wooforplay.com Alterra Pure | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% off at alterrapure.com Après | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off at drinkapres.com The Almost 30 Podcast is edited by Podcast Masters This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy

This episode has pretty much everything you could want out of a podcast: it’s natural, hilarious, interesting, fun, and with just a little bit of poop. That’s because Krista + Lindsey got to sit down with Suzy Batiz, creator of Poo-Pourri.   After her second bankruptcy at 40, Suzy embarked on a spiritual quest and discovered the lost art of tapping the body for stored creativity and ideas. She grew Poo-Pourri into a $300M+ business using a combination of somatic training, quantum physics, and interpersonal evolutionary processes, which she’s dubbed the Radical Resonance System.   We definitely spend some time talking about the product and what it’s like to be a female founder, but things get a lot deeper than that – there’s even an absolutely incredible ghost story that Lindsey + Krista can not stop sharing at parties!   And if you’ll be near Dallas on Tuesday, September 25th, you can catch Lindsey, Krista, and Suzy LIVE!

Almost 30 is all about tools, tricks, and insights that anyone can use to feel happier and more aligned as they navigate the big transitions in their life… but we’ve never really talked about WHY people feel happy. Like what’s going in these mammal brains of ours? So Lindsey + Krista sat down with Loretta Breuning, PhD, a professor, an author, and the Founder of The Inner Mammal Institute. Loretta teaches people how to build power over their mammalian brain chemistry and understand nature’s operating system.   Because if we understand the science of what’s happening when we form habits or feel a certain way, we have the power to manipulate those chemicals, rewire our brains, and ultimately, live a better life. Are you ready to make peace with your inner mammal?   We discuss…   Early brain development Why it’s so difficult to create new neural pathways in our brains after puberty Our impulse to want more Serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, & endorphin The medical model VS the animal world Ups + downs being NORMAL Do animals have memories like we do? Why the size of your brain directly correlates to the length of childhood (and the animal with the biggest brain) The amazing miracle of reproduction Breaking an addictive habit Getting back to neutral after experiencing trauma Endorphins + GABA Every single person being wired for an individual experience (and feeling a little different from the herd)   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more | innermammalinstitute.org Listen | The Happy Brain Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/LorettaBreuningPhD Twitter | @innermammal YouTube | youtube.com/c/InnerMammalInstitute Read | Habits of a Happy Brain: serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, endorphin Read | The Science of Positivity Read | I, Mammal: make peace with the animal urge for social power Silver Fern | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your first order at silverfernbrand.com Bioclarity | Use code ALMOST30 for $20 off your 1st month at bioclarity.com Four Sigmatic | Get 15% off your order at foursigmatic.com/almost30 The Almost 30 Podcast is edited by Podcast Masters This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy

Krista + Lindsey have been dying to talk about dreams forever, so they put the call out there and manifested the lovely Connie Kaplan. Connie is a spiritual mentor who teaches dreaming as a spiritual practice and a unique form of theology, which centers around an understanding of each person’s life purpose.   Connie found her calling after contracting a mysterious virus and spending nearly two years of her life in bed. She slept, and she slept and slept and slept, and she experienced a profound spiritual transformation which altered not only her inner experience of life but her outer expression of life.   We kind of pass dreams off as being silly, crazy, or dumb, but they have a deep meaning and purpose. We spend half of our lives in this unconscious state – there’s so much happening and so much to be learned, if we choose to take control of it and use it as a method to transform. This conversation gets a little out there, but you know us! We talk about…   The illness that changed Connie’s life How the moon affects our dreams + tracking your dreams according to the lunar cycle Everyone’s unique dreaming pattern Dreaming to heal Collective dreams about 9/11 How dreams allow our subconscious minds to communicate with the collective energies Heather’s dream pillow The 13 different types of dreams Menstruation + dreams The unique chakra system that Connie received as a download Doing the subconscious work Jungian vs Freudian analysis Using a dream journal   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Are you ready to see Almost 30 LIVE?!

Today’s episode is an important conversation. 1 in 7 young people experience a mental illness in any given year, and far too many suffer in silence due to the stigma that surrounds mental health and lack of understanding.

As we approach (and pass) 30, a lot of us are thinking about our plans for conceiving – and, unfortunately, many of us are or will experience fertility issues! Most women assume that they’re fertile and can have a baby tomorrow, if they want to, but until you try to get pregnant or see a fertility expert, you just don't know.   We want our listeners to be fully informed, PERIOD. So we dive into a topic that we believe is not being talked about enough—Fertility! The truths, the myths, and the incredible new options available due to advances in In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) procedures – and that’s why we sat down with our dear friend, Dr. Robert Anderson, a Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist & Founder of the Southern California Center for Reproductive Medicine.   Dr. Anderson is an innovator in the field, running one of the top fertility clinics in the world, and he takes us deep into the process, including the physical, emotional, and financial commitments involved.   We discuss…   Our first attempt at recording this interview (over two years ago…) Founding SoCal Center for Reproductive Medicine 25 years ago People traveling from all over the world for fertility treatment with Dr, Anderson How much IVF has improved What a healthy embryo is Why you may want to freeze your eggs Egg donors + surrogates What both parts of the IVF procedure is like The multiple pregnancy problem of yesterday Choosing gender The new procedure that Dr. Anderson invented Why you should consider getting your eggs tested Dr. Anderson’s kind + direct bedside manner How the industry markets IVF unrealistically + setting realistic expectations The emotional + financial aspects of IVF Restoring your hormonal environment Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Holistic treatments that Dr. Anderson offers Genetic testing + treatment for diseases The promising future of CRISPR Testing + improving male fertility Accessibility for LGBTQ communities   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: SoCal Center for Reproductive Medicine | socalfertility.com | Instagram | Facebook Califlour Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off a $50+ purchase at califlourfoods.com Bright Cellars | Get a $30 credit towards your first box at brightcellars.com/almost30 Silver Fern | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off at silverfernbrand.com Olivine Atelier | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% OFF at shopolivine.com Bioclarity | Use code ALMOST30 for $20 OFF your 1st month at bioclarity.com The Almost 30 Podcast is edited by Podcast Masters This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy

On today’s episode, Krista and Lindsey are SO excited to introduce Manisha Thakor- the founder and CEO of MoneyZen Wealth Management and a "Wall Street Journal" expert panelist. She has an MBA from Harvard and possesses a wealth of experience in all things finance.  She is regularly in the "New York Times" + "More Magazine" and on CNN + "The Today Show.” The conversation is empowering and eye-opening.  The girls also open up about where they are personally struggling in their relationship with money. After all, they can’t be alone!   They discuss...   How this generation is the first to be dealing with unprecedented levels of student debt, and that this financial stress takes up MAJOR mental space and serves as a real distraction. Women and their changing relationship with finances- becoming primary breadwinners and stepping into our POWER. Women wanting to use their money to make a stand. For women, it’s not about how much we make, but about how we can make an impact with our finances while still being smart and receiving financial return. Tips for getting people on the front end of the funnel before even getting into student loan debt! Moreover, ways to climb out of debt once you’re already in the thick of it. Pursuing certain career paths where you can get loan forgiveness after you have gone through a certain number of years of teaching school in certain kinds of neighborhoods or doing more community oriented work. Manisha’s definition of what it means to possess financial strength. Approachable and salient definitions + metaphors for understanding financial terms that may intimidate those of us not in the know. Alternatively, “Male Speak” in finance. Shutting down your femininity or silencing yourself in “business” or “finance” settings to blend in and be more accepted- and the ways in which “me too” is changing this coping mechanism/default behavior! Manisha’s recommendation to read The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. How the third person in a committed romantic partnership is MONEY.

In today’s episode, we talk to TWO amazing ladies in the clean home + beauty products space. Allison Evans, of Branch Basics, talks to us all about her journey leading up to partnering up with her aunt (Marilee) and best friend (Kelly) to form Branch Basics, which sells a multi-purpose Concentrate to make cleaning simple, affordable and sustainable. All their products are refillable and can be used for ANY cleaning job. The Concentrate is significantly less expensive than similar single-use products. Annie Jackson, acting COO of Credo Beauty, shares her wide-ranging knowledge about the beauty industry (both conventional and natural). Between Credo’s brands, the leadership, and their consumers, there is a common thread: transparency. Credo promises INTEGRITY. They will never carry products with known harmful ingredients and they only stock brands that never test on animals. Both Allison and Annie share SO much amazing information on why you should buy CLEAN and vote with your dollar.   We discuss…   All the ways in which the Almost 30 podcast has grown and progressed since its inception about a year and a half ago. The details relating to Allison Evans’ (Branch Basics) testimony that safe, clean household products along with ridding her home of toxins and eating a real-food diet have healed her various serious health issues. How much perseverance + trial and error went into coming up with the PERFECT all purpose cleaner. That many conventional household cleaners actually utilize harmful (+ unlisted) ingredients (i.e. pesticides). The importance of educating the masses on why they ought to purchase safer cleaning products. The keys to a healthier life are AWARENESS + BRAND TRANSPARENCY. Annie Jackson’s employment history in the beauty industry, beginning with Estée Lauder + Sephora! Annie’s transition out of conventional beauty and into cleaner beauty options. The challenge of getting consumers to ditch their beloved skincare products for the ones you’re selling (even if yours ARE cleaner, safer, + better). Misconceptions about natural, safe beauty products. How Credo Beauty hires estheticians and make up artists to work in house and assist clients personally. Moving away from the feeling of GUILT for the past use of “unhealthy” beauty products, and just making the best possible choices going forward.   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Allison Evans (Branch Basics) | Website | Facebook | Instagram Annie Jackson (Credo Beauty) | Website | Facebook | Instagram Thrive Market | Save 25% OFF your first order at thrivemarket.com/almost30 Bright Cellars | Get a $30 credit towards your first box at brightcellars.com/almost30 Olivine Atilier | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% OFF at shopolivine.com Four Sigmatic | Get 15% OFF your order at foursigmatic.com/almost30   Want to chat?

Peta Kelly, wow.  In a space so saturated, Peta stands out.  She is human AF. She’s an entrepreneur, speaker, philanthropist, cacao enthusiast, and a voice for the millennial generation. Recently ranked by Inc magazine as a "Top 10 Female Entrepreneur" changing the world, Peta’s mission is to mobilize the next generation of conscious change makers. In today’s episode, we talk all about Peta’s book, Earth is Hiring, learn about how Peta has cultivated this HUMAN AF life, and moreover, the ways in which she has flipped the script on the old school of thought that you can’t live a life that you love while also making a lot of money. This interview is a total game-changer, and gets better and better as the episode progresses.   We discuss... All things regarding Peta’s book, Earth is Hiring. Peta’s transition from her life as a scientist to becoming an entrepreneur and a voice for the millennial generation. Her thoughts on creating financial freedom in order to give back to the world in greater, more plentiful ways. Why Peta feels inspired to lead as an example for others and where this desire originated from. That the key to her success is unwavering focus. Her thoughts on looking for inspiration within oneself rather than outside forces. Learning that spirituality is humanness.
