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.

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 sales@advertisecast.com 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 sales@advertisecast.com 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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Today on Almost 30, we welcome our amazing friend, Aaron Abke, back to the pod. Aaron is a teacher, a Youtuber, and a conscious influencer who helps people free their mind, empower their heart, and expand their consciousness.  Aaron’s vast knowledge of spirituality stems from his own awakenings and deep research on the topics he shares with us in this episode. On a mission to help others embody their true nature, Aaron recently released 4D University, an online academy for consciousness expansion guiding its students to attain 4th density consciousness. This one touches on all of our favorite topics in the realm of the mystic, and although Aaron is a guru, he’s also excellent at helping others digest these dense topics by taking the time to explain while understanding and holding the listener’s perspective in his heart.

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.

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.

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!

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?

Most of all, this is a connection of three souls that are intertwined in mutual respect, deep love, and curious enlightenment – bouncing off of one another in a colorful illustration of what expansive friendship in your 30s can and could be.

Open your hearts and minds for this expansive and deeply personal conversation with the always thoughtful, Aubrey Marcus. We go deep on his informed perceptions on true partnership, how giving and receiving form a loop of connection, misplacing divinity onto the people in our lives, and so much more. It was such a pleasure to sit with and experience Aubrey as he opened his soul to K+L and Almost 30 listeners. 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.

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’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?

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. You won’t want to miss it.

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. We also talk about: Practicing the art of listening Taking responsibility for your own healing Learning to trust yourself How intuition is not a binary Getting stuck in a loop  Setting up a support system for yourself Being with your feelings Resources:  Website: jennareiss.com Instagram: @jennamreiss Facebook: facebook.com/JennaMReiss Beach Breathwork Collective Connection: 4-Week Healing Journey Expanded Wild Hearts Retreat Private Session 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!

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!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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. There are ugly tears, fights, and f*** ups.  In this episode, Quigley opens up about her journey from American Idol to motherhood, reflecting on the moment she decided to go all-in on her career (and double her salary in the process) and why she leans into the big sister/mentor energy on social media. Plus, we get her behind-the-scenes takes on parenthood, sexuality as a mother, and talk about her new mission to help people connect on social media.  We also talk about: Surviving American Idol  The truth about being an influencer How Quigley found her gifts as a content creator  Social media boundaries and mental health Advice for creating content online  Pregnancy, motherhood, and sexuality  Sponsors: Get discount codes sent directly to your phone.

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. Her mission has flipped the notion that self-awakening is solely a job for the intellectual brain by spotlighting exercise as a means to exorcise what needs releasing. Taryn shares her personal journey, working through a challenging childhood and the kismet ways The Class snowballed during the pandemic. As she sheds old skin, releasing relationships, “guru” projections, and past versions of self, The Class has grown into a movement that not only serves others but is a mirror to measure her own internal landscape.  We also talk about: Reframing shadow work  Working through enmeshment and unprocessed trauma  How Taryn protects her energy  The science behind The Class Superficial spirituality and guru projections Being of service Healing after a relationship  Sponsors: Get discount codes sent directly to your phone.

Anger, disappointment, betrayal. These are the textbook reactions to your partner when they show no interest in your self-awakening. It feels like everyone else on Instagram are #spiritualcouplegoals, casually going to ayahuasca retreats in Costa Rica. Meanwhile, you can’t get your other half to go to a yoga class. So, what do you do when you’re filling your cup with all the self-help books, crystals – ALL the things – but your partner is not interested in following the same path? 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. We also talk about: The spiritual ego and how it manifests  Celebrating similarities in partnership Finding a sacred community  How to appreciate your partner where they’re at Feeling independent on your spiritual journey  Spiritual red flags  Sponsors: Four Sigmatic | Get up to 40% off + free shipping on mushroom bundles at foursigmatic.com/almost30 ClearSTEM | use code ALMOST30 for 15% off at clearstemskincare.com Pressed Bouquet Shop | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off your purchase at pressedbouquetshop.com NutriBullet | Use code “ALMOST30NATION” for 20% off at nutribullet.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!

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.

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.

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: info@nuchi.us 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. We also talk about: Working in traditional medicine and experience with depression The health insurance crisis we don’t want to talk about  The fear paradigm and how it affects our health  The viruses we’re currently fighting  How glyphosate is attacking humanity and the environment Mother Nature as a teacher  Resources: (Use keywords, titles, proper nouns, etc., to describe each third-party resource) Website: zachbushmd.com Instagram: @zachbushmd ION*: Go to ionbiome.com and use code almost30 at checkout for a free 3oz supply with a 32oz bottle purchase.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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?

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!

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. We also talk about: The difference in digital feedback The negativity bias and how to combat it when giving feedback The nuances between different communication methods How we wrap up our identity in our work Why we dread giving and receiving feedback Handling feedback during short-term relationships Creating a culture of feedback How to best integrate feedback in your life Find more to love at almost30.com!

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. But Bethany helps women heal this core wound by teaching them how to discover and tap into their “Inner Mother.” The Mother Wound feeds into all areas of our life, from our diets to our interactions with other women to our own self-worth. It’s foundational to the way we interact with the world. How incredible would it be, then, to change it for the better? Way better.

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 So many women are so afraid to pivot and follow their calling when they’ve found something that’s comfortable. At the height of her career, Devi Brown was interviewing greats in the music industry such as Quincy Jones and Kendrick Lamar, but she felt called to do something else with her life.

Now she is a Reiki healer, founder of KARMA BLISS, and an advocate for creating more space for women of color in the wellness industry — both as educators and as participants. She talks about taking that leap, the growth she’s done throughout quarantine, how she’s owned it, some of her favorite modes of healing, and being a mother.

She’s the author of “Meet Your Soul,” which is practically the bible of soul knowledge and information, and a book that has seriously inspired K+L.

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!

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.

Solo trips are an incredible way to heal your soul.
