663. Why Does Finding Purpose Feel Painful? With Sara Kuburic, Millennial Therapist
You might know Sara Kuburic as the Millennial Therapist on Instagram, where she shares insanely relatable advice about navigating the human experience with her 1.6 million followers. Sara’s new book, It’s On Me, encourages us to get to know ourselves fully and take responsibility for our lives.
In this episode, Sara opens up to Krista about her struggles with panic attacks and a dissociation from her body – a deep state of suffering that eventually led her to a life of authenticity. When we ignore the signs our body sends us, we ignore the parts of ourselves that are longing to be seen, nurtured, and healed.
Sara talks us through her journey of accepting her highly sensitive nature and beginning to connect the dots between what she was feeling in her body and the parts of her life that required change. She empowers us to tune out the noise of everyday life, tune into our own beings, and ask ourselves, ‘who am I really?’ to find true peace and freedom within.
We also talk about:
- Why searching for purpose can be painful
- Healing abusive relationships with our bodies
- Acknowledging your suffering
- Authenticity vs. self loss
- The ups and downs of discovering yourself
- Why self awareness is the ultimate self care
- Why we must engage with life fully

643. The HR-ification of Relationships + "Spiritual" People Dating
Get ready to laugh (and cry a little bit) during this insanely relatable conversation between Krista and her actor-director-musician BFF, Joey Pollari! Krista and Joey chat about the ways we may be overusing “therapy talk” – a.k.a. things only you and your therapist talk about – in our relationships. Instead of slapping labels on someone or going overboard with “honest feedback,” sometimes it’s best to lead with how we’re actually feeling.
Krista and Joey recount stories of their own shortcomings in relationships as well as how they’ve grown in their self-awareness and communication skills. At the end of the day, therapy is one of our greatest tools for evolution, but learning how to integrate what we do in therapy with our real-time interactions is the ultimate relationship game changer!

- Giving loving feedback in relationship
- The HR-ification of relationships

634. The Part of Your Body That You're Overlooking: The Pelvic Floor + It's Power
Do kegels actually work? Is painful sex normal? How can breathing help alleviate pelvic tension and pain?
In this episode, we go there and answer all of your burning questions with Dr. Sonia Bahlani, who is an expert in the fields of gynecology and urology―sought purposefully because she was interested in helping patients with pelvic pain.
In her efforts to bring the topics of pelvic pain and women’s sexual health out from behind closed doors and find real, proven solutions for those in pain, Dr. Bahlani joins Lindsey to discuss the key to feeling good “down there,” starting with what exactly is your pelvic floor. She provides valuable insight on what might be causing your pain, what you can expect in a doctor’s office and what to do at home.
So much of women’s sexual health remains unexplored, leaving us to wonder and question if specific experiences are normal…but no more. We’re deeply grateful to welcome Dr. Bahlani to the show to unpack the many misconceptions about this important topic.
We also talk about:
- What is your pelvic floor
- How to connect with your pelvic floor
- The relationship between your jaw + pelvic floor
- Pain during sex: Why it’s happening + what to do
- The importance of pleasurable sex + foreplay
- Women’s healthcare in the U.S.
- Everyday habits to support your pelvic floor
- Understanding your urination habits
- The truth about kegels
- Side effects of birth control

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

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

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.

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.

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

588. There Are No Bad Parts of You: Accepting Yourself with IFS
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

586. How to Know and When to Let Go
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

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

584. Navigating Grief, Letting Go of Identities and Living Fully with Bozoma Saint John
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.

- Being a Black woman in corporate America
- Embracing her identity unapologetically
- Knowing when to make a career change

583. How to Find, Cultivate and Keep Real Love with Jay Shetty
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! To catch Jay on his first ever global tour 'Love Rules', go to JayShettyTour.com for tickets. Follow Jay on Instagram and subscribe to his podcast On Purpose.

582. The Energetics of Distraction and How to Reclaim Your Focus
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

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.

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.

- Showing gratitude for nourishment
- Enjoying food vs. negative thoughts

So, before you grab your journal and rattle off your resolutions for 2023, take a moment to reflect.

564. This Is Your Brain on Food: Connecting Mental Health & Nutrition with Dr. Uma Naidoo
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

563. What Are You Using To Build Boundaries – Love or Fear?
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

548. How an Empath Can Take Their Power Back and Fulfill Their Purpose
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

542. Unlocking True Enlightenment (There Are Levels to This Shit) with Peter Crone
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

541. Reclaiming Our Feminine Super Powers and Learning to Receive Unconditional Love with Vylana Marcus
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.

540. How to Thrive as an Empath: Understand The Shadow Side and Your Gifts
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.
We also talk about:
- Energy matching

- Losing yourself to outside experiences
- How we interact with overstimulating environments
- Checking in with your own needs

- Observed traits of an empath

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

533. Exploring the Feminine Experience and its Relationship to Capitalism, Feminism, and Burnout
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

531. Demystifying the Conscious Relationship
Conscious relationship... It's one of the most common buzzwords that's in the relational space right now.

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.

- How we’ve grown + changed as partners
- What is a conscious relationship?

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.

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

524. The Gift of Being in a Body + How To Tune In
It is what it is, right? But, that’s not a mindset that comes easily – or quickly.
For many of us, our teens and twenties are filled with changing – wanting to change, feeling pressures to change. After thirty, and after doing the work, a shift starts to happen. We look in the mirror and wink at ourselves instead of wishing for something to be different.
Lindsey sits down for this deeply personal solo episode to walk listeners through her own body attunement journey, from watching herself in home movies as a wiggling four year-old, to learned familial beliefs on body, her (sometimes toxic) relationship with fitness, and unpacking early sexual encounters.
Everything is on the table, because everything in life is connected to our physical self.
Tune in and take note to start feeling better in your body, more harmonized in the feminine, restorative, juicy goodness that is this physical vehicle, on this planet. It’s a beautiful thing, and when we can truly celebrate it, it shines through in the rest of our lives.
We also talk about:
- Everything is everything
- What is body attunement to me?
- Reprogramming negative familial beliefs
- Being aware of how social media makes us feel
- Unpacking impactful sexual experiences
- How we process outside information
- Identifying areas where we can be more attuned with our body
- Considering our cycles as the seasons
- Infusing your food with intention

523. Free Yourself With 4 Questions with Byron Katie
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

522. Use This Method for a Better Relationship with Your Body
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

520. Sexuality: Coming Home to Your Body and Womb
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.

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:

519. Animal Communication: How to Connect with Your Pets
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

518. Taking Care Of Yourself While You Help Others With Karena Dawn
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.

517. Healing Doesn't Always Have To Be Hard
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

516. When You’ve Lost Your Center
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

513. Defining Our Own Wellness Narrative with Dr. Zach Bush
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.
We also talk about:
- Changing the public perception around health
- Giving up our sovereignty for the sake of convenience
- The biodiversity of feelings
- Creativity as the path towards self-expression
- Redefining the family unit
- What comes after consumerism
- Embracing the love and support of Mother Nature

512. Lilly Singh: Come Home to Yourself
Lilly Singh is at the top of her game – and for good reason. She’s the definition of multifaceted, and she embodies that energy in her career and everything she does. Entertainer, actress, producer, writer, creator, she’s a multi-hyphenated megastar.
Hot off the heels of her historic late-night talk show, we dive into all that she’s accomplished, how having a seat at the table doesn’t guarantee you have a voice, and managing to take care of yourself while trying to accomplish it all.
Lilly still believes hustle is an important ingredient to success, but she doesn’t think you have to sacrifice your physical and mental health for years to get there. In her new book, Be A Triangle, Lilly outlines the discovery process she went through to create a strong, unshakable foundation within herself – one she could come home to no matter what season her life was in.
We also talk about:
- Why Lilly doesn’t recommend anyone give a TED Talk
- The changing cultural landscape around traditional TV
- Understanding your parents’ experience and what’s relevant (or not) to your life
- Lilly’s coming out story
- Being discerning with your creativity
- What it means to become a triangle

511. Here's to Your Rising with Sheleana Aiyana
Sheleana Aiyana is the real deal when it comes to processing family trauma. After you hear the story of what she went through as a child – and how she overcame it – you'll be a believer as well.
Sheleana knows that, if more of us could understand the impact of inherited family trauma and how to move through it, the world would be a brighter place. She’s the founder of Rising Woman, a community of more than three million readers. Sheleana is very truthful, very heart-centered, and she’s doing work that helps so many people.
Her new book, “Becoming the One,” debunks the myth that we need someone from outside ourselves, “the one,” to come into our life and save us. You have everything within you to become the one in your own life. And if you doubt it now, Sheleana can be very convincing.
We also talk about:
- Coming into your voice
- Allowing yourself to be seen
- How different internal wounds are healed
- Bringing conscious work into your relationship
- The power struggle phase of relationships
- The myth of The One
- Coming back to the body
- The journey of inner teen work

510. Building a Support System for Growth with Manoj Dias
How many of us truly understand what it means to be mindful?
Manoj Dias was raised under Buddhist mindfulness traditions. Today, he’s also deeply embedded in the modern world. For some time, he was chasing a different life working in marketing and finance, but that experience – and the toll it took on his health – only strengthened his resolve as he found his way back to his roots.
Having learned so much about the art of being present, he co-founded Open, a modern mindfulness studio merging technology, culture, and cinematography, with proven practices to grow community and nurture presence. He dives deep into the mindfulness of embracing pain, what it means to be mindful in your relationships, and how it feels to be truly embodied.

- Creating a relationship with pain

506. Your Inner Teenager Healing Guide
You may remember Bethany Webster from our most recent Camp Almost 30 where she, we have to say, brought the freaking house down. She also joined us in March of 2021, where she introduced the community to the life-changing idea of the “Mother Wound,” and about healing and dealing with the multi-generational trauma that gets passed on to us.
Now, she’s helping us to identify another unheard part of ourselves, our inner teenager. By now, the idea of the inner child is totally understood, but our inner teenager still hangs out in there. Like most teenagers, yours is probably misunderstood or completely ignored.
That part of you has so much to give and Bethany Webster helps us get on the level to understand those lessons. Tune in.
We also talk about:
- The undermining and exploitation of teenagers in society
- The function of shame
- Teenagers’ pressure to grow up fast
- Healing the inner teen vs. the inner child
- How the inner teen gets activated
- Defining and finding sovereignty
- Ending friendships that are no longer aligned
- Finding peace with your inner teen

490. Get Lost to Find Yourself with Kimberly Snyder
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.
We also talk about:
- Finding a spiritual connection to nutrition
- Why getting lost can help you find yourself
- How to cultivate conscious connection
- Detaching from ego and external validation
- Creativity and channeling a book

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.

487. Sexual Pleasure + Clearing Blocks in Partnership
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

483. The Truth About Being an Influencer with Quigley
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

475. Something is Wrong with Health in America with Shawn Stevenson
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?

We also talk about:

- Working through enmeshment and unprocessed trauma
- How Taryn protects her energy

469. What if my partner isn't spiritual?
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

468. Animals and Their Healing Powers with Alyson Charles
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

467. Jenna Kutcher: Blending Motherhood and Entrepreneurship
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

465. Living Authentically with Emma Zeck
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

464. Psilocybin, Mental Health + Reshaping Relationships with Organic Olivia
For Olivia Amitrano, herbalism is everything.

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.

463. Morning Rituals to Unleash Your Creativity with Morgan Harper Nichols
K + L get the tea on Morgan Harper Nichols morning routine, and what lays the groundwork for birthing all the beautiful gifts she brings to the world. She shares how she creates something every day, and why getting smaller with your artistic expression doesn't mean playing small. Now, thanks to her collaboration with Starbucks, your morning coffee can be an act of self-care.
Before you roll your eyes at yet another "morning routine" chat, know that this convo steers clear from dogmatic formulas (who is really journaling for 30 minutes every day anyway)? Instead, think of it as an open-ended invitation for you to explore the small rituals that fuel your creativity and celebrate your life. So feel free to hit the snooze button, and indulge in donuts in bed. You can still sit with us.

460. Mel Robbins: Change Your Life with This Simple Habit
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

459. Peta Kelly: Walk Your Path
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

458. Embracing Abundance & Cultivating Conscious Relationships
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

455. The Stories We Tell Ourselves
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:

453. Unlocking Your Sacred Sexuality
[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

K+L are invested in her mission – literally. They’re helping build this female-focused brand because it aligns with EVERYTHING Almost 30 is about – and their sex gummies are legit AF y’all.

451. Dr. Zach Bush on Fear, The Immune System & The Real Meaning of Life
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.

- The health insurance crisis we don’t want to talk about

Ground-breaking yogi, author, and activist, Jessamyn Stanley, jams with K + L for another heart-opening conversation about “living life off the book.” For Jessamyn, that translates to consciously keeping check of what she is consuming on social media and how she positions herself in the public sphere as one of the only black, female business owners in the digital, yoga space.

440. The Science of Manifestation with Dr. Tara Swart
Neuroscientist, medical doctor, and neuroscience and psychological advisor for To Be Magnetic, Dr. Tara Swart, joins “Almost 30” to discuss the scientific roots behind manifestation.
Everyone loves to drop words like “dopamine,” “oxytocin,” “serotonin,” and “endorphins” when talking about career, relationships, and our everyday device-dependent lives. But who really gets to grips with the nitty-gritty details behind such big terminology or what Dr. Swart refers to as the DOSE hormones?
Tara’s pragmatic approach and research-backed perspective are a grounded way to filter the woo-woo from the lofty themes of the trending spiritual practices you see pop up on your Insta-feeds so that you can really connect with the roots of manifestation.
In this episode, Dr. Tara Swart dissects the dynamics of the brain, neural pathways, and explains how societal programming stems from human evolution. You’ll also learn why the brain is malleable, flexible, and how you can connect neuroplasticity to a manifestation practice (such as To Be Magnetic) to unlock your true potential.
We also talk about:
- Money blocks and income flows
- Risk and reward dynamics
- Dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins
- Numbing processes and subconscious reprogramming
- Inner child work and trauma
- Envy and jealousy reprogramming
- Maintaining brain flexibility

439. Are We All Healers?
Energy healer, entrepreneur – and Krista's wedding officiant, Millana Snow, shares space and profound wisdom with a conversation centered on her journey to becoming a healer, self-empowerment, and spiritual growth. It's a beautiful closing of a circle from her last episode back in 2017, as she has made monumental strides in just about every aspect of her life since her previous pod chat with K + L.
Millana unpacks her initial resistance to publically “coming out” as a healer. Since doing so, she has seriously up-leveled into the upper echelons of the wellness world (yay, abundance!), evolving her spiritual practice by teaching herself and her clients to jump into the unknown and release attachments to narratives that no longer serve them.
This truly enriching conversation will inspire you to believe manifesting your dream life is 100% possible, and you don't have to look outside yourself to do so.
We also talk about:
- Friendship origins
- Stepping into being a healer
- Belief mindset and leaning into healing
- Analyzing attachment to old narratives and constructs
- Work, money, time, and sense of worth
- Cutting cords and setting boundaries
- Deep learnings and manifesting partnership
- Millana’s offerings and online courses!

437. Behind The Scenes of Krista’s Spiritual Wedding Vortex
Krista reflects on her wedding, including the lead-up to the ceremony and the takeaways from the emotionally charged event

436. $150 B Industry: Child Sex Trafficking and Exploitation
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

429. Jamie Kern Lima Built a Billion Dollar Business by Being Herself
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?

428. Biohack Your Skin + Dental Care with Trina Felber
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.

425. Astrology for the Collective Awakening with David Palmer
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:

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.

- Family enmeshment and self-advocacy
- Seeking outside validation
- Shame and guilt when you choose to against the grain

423. The Science of Meditation with Emily Fletcher
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.

421. How To Create Boundaries & Reclaim Your Power with Terri Cole
Boundary boss babe, Terri Cole, has the last word when it comes to the power of personal boundaries. As a top psychotherapist, she’s helped thousands of women set and sustain effective boundaries with ease and grace for over two decades.
Her modern diagnosis of codependent behavior is going to hit home for so many of you out there who are seriously slaying it hard in life but become shrinking violets when it comes to articulating your needs with those closest to you — or feel shackled by the need/yearning to people-please, even at the expense of your sanity.
We get it. We relate, and boy, have we been there!
The good news is, there is a way out. Terri has it all mapped out in her boundary blueprint, Boundary Boss, right down to conversation scripts! In this episode, we deep dive into different boundary scenarios and how you can set limits with anyone using her specific set of tools to help you become the boss of you!
Remember, boundaries are not a punishment; instead, they are an opportunity to cultivate healthy relationships and expectations that nourish us rather than deplete our inner resources.
We also talk about:
- Why setting boundaries is a trending topic
- Codependency vs. high-functioning codependency
- Creating boundaries with family
- The importance of preference
- The path to becoming a boundary boss

420. Addiction Recovery + Celebrating Evolution with Arielle Lorre
Arielle Lorre doesn’t put a Disney spin on anything. She’s a unique wellness and lifestyle influencer who candidly reveals the ebbs and flows of self-improvement with brutal honesty and vulnerability.
Her backstory is no fairytale. While most of her 20-somethings peers took a hop, skip, and a jump from graduating college to living their best SATC-style lives in NYC, Arielle was, at her lowest point, delirious in a 2-month blackout, snorting dust from the floor as she battered her body with alcohol and drugs. Seizures were the norm, as were half-ditched attempts at rehab between the ages of 20 to 28.
Today, she unpacks her journey from addiction to recovery and the stepping stones it took her to get to where she is today – 7 years sober, happily married, and a bad-ass entrepreneur dedicated to living her best life possible, which now includes meditation, morning Matcha, intuitive eating – and a little cosmetic surgery along the way!
We also talk about:
- The roots of her addiction
- The rehab and relapse cycle
- Rock bottom and rehabilitation process
- Sobriety and the importance of her support system
- Spirituality, community, and Transcendental Meditation
- Starting a high-profile relationship in the public eye
- Body healing, eating habits, and diet journey
- Evolving with her audience
- Cosmetic surgery and self-love
- Morning routines

419. A Holistic Approach to the Body and Home with Kelly LeVeque
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

418. Why We’re Leaving LA
Everything is as it was, and everything has changed.
Lindsey is closing the door on her LA chapter and moving back to New York. Krista is contemplating motherhood and a potential move to Austin. Today, they give gratitude to the city that gifted them life-long connections, boundless creativity, and the opportunity to live out their authentic truth. Not to mention, drop woo-woo one-liners in social circles without any sense of irony! They also open up about the harder edges of LA life; from the hollowness of Hollywood and spiraling homelessness crisis to the impact of the pandemic on local businesses.
If you were waiting for an LA-bashing episode, this isn’t it. This is a celebration of what is, what’s coming, and what the hell was that? It’s an active shedding of old beliefs, and a permission slip to re-write the rules, lean into your intuition, go big, and go (to a new) home.
We also talk about:
- Celebrating community and creativity in LA
- Sober reflections on Hollywood industry
- Trusting your decisions, following your truth
- Our next destinations!
- Why it’s normal to feel hesitant about starting a family
- Creating narratives in your head
- Spirituality 2.0
- Friendship transitions

417. Embrace Your Inner Troublemaker with Luvvie Ajayi
We all have a troublemaker inside of us: that part of us gets put in its place at an early age. It's up to us to learn how to awaken this part of ourselves — that's what Luvvie Ajayi is all about.
The troublemaker is the part of us that's committed to pushing past the fear. Luvvie almost let fear make her say no to the TED talk that ultimately changed her life. Inspired by that event, her book Professional Troublemaker: The Fear-Fighter Manual is full of Luvvie's trademark wit and warmth while dispensing life-changing advice.
It's so important that we shake things up in society and culture and stand up for what we believe in. Being a troublemaker means being a changemaker, and we all know the world is ready for some change. That's why we're here, right?
We also talk about:
- Doing the thing that feels too easy
- How imposter syndrome is the cousin of fear
- How Luvvie almost passed up a life defining moment due to fear
- Being purposeful about who you reach out to for advice
- The importance of being fearless
- The pros and cons of social media
- Bringing about constructive conversations
- Writing your life’s mission statement

416. Lonely on Your Spiritual Path?
The path to spiritual awakening can be so lonely. Chances are, the people in your life are going to be skeptical, especially if they haven't made space for their own growth. They'll sow doubt, and can make you feel alone, different, and isolated from the world you thought you knew.
Too much outside noise and influence started to make Krista feel like she was doing something wrong by going on this journey – but she had to trust her gut above all else. When you know in your heart and soul that you're doing the right thing, you HAVE to keep pushing forward – even when society tries to tell you that you're wrong or make you feel unsafe.
Throughout this type of transition, things will feel shaky, and uneasy. You may lose some friends (let's be honest, you probably will). But it's all part of making space for your own growth. On the other side, you're going to find a beautiful support system, and a powerful alignment to who you TRULY are that feels better than you could have imagined.
We also talk about:
- Coming to the realization of how lonely the spiritual journey can be
- Knowing that you are never alone
- Having a relationship with Source
- Embracing change + letting go of the illusion of permanence
- Being unattached to how others think
- Outsourcing our intuition
- Building up a new community
- Being comfortable in solitude

415. Body Acceptance Roundtable
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

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

Ep. 409 - Overcoming the Fear of Feedback with Dr. Therese Huston
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

Ep. 407 - How to Heal the Mother Wound with Bethany Webster
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.

Ep. 406 - Embracing the In-Between
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.
We also talk about:
- The meaningfulness of this period in time

Ep. 404 - Receiving: How Productivity Keeps Us From the Life We Want
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

THE INTERVIEW
So many women are so afraid to pivot and follow their calling when they’ve found something that’s comfortable.

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.

THE INTERVIEW
Late in her life, Lindsey had the realization that she deeply deserved discipline.

Lindsey dives into her journey to create discipline around her music, art, and self-expression, and how this process allowed her to trust herself more, feel more inspired, and create momentum in her life.

The gut is our second brain, and the control center for so much of what happens with our health.

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

THE INTERVIEW
Danielle LaPorte’s books “Desire Map” and “White Hot Truth” were game changers for K+L when they first moved to LA, and they’ve followed her teachings ever since. They *go there* in this interview. We’re talking about Christ consciousness, the spiritual warfare happening in the world today, saving the children, atonement, leadership, finding peace in unstable times, living a reflective life, and so much more. She’s leaning out her spiritual menu and dropping what isn’t moving her along. She’s trying to feel her own suffering instead of distracting from it, like so many of us do. It’s pure medicine for the soul

365. Human Design + Healing Your Relationship with Money with Jas the Moon Mother
THE INTERVIEW
Jas the Moon Mother recently entered our orbit and has already been a grounding force in elevating our understanding of our purpose. Jas is a human design guide and energy healer who is passionate about awakening your soul’s purpose and self-sovereignty. She’s always been years ahead of the crowd, but because of that she never really felt like part of the crowd. When she experienced her spiritual awakening, she realized how connected all life on earth is and how much we impact each other, which led to the realization that we are all part of the same source—we are all God. In this enlightening conversation, the girls talk about human design, Jas’ calling, spirituality in general, God, Christ consciousness, transformation, and our broken views about money.

- Being ahead of your time

364. Breathwork: The Mind Release + Soul Remembering with Samantha Skelly
THE INTERVIEW
One time Samantha Skelly showed up for her meditation class late, so she was offered a breathwork class instead. She was skeptical, but tried it out anyway. She thought it looked like an orgy, the energy healer leading the session told her that her brain was broken, and she bawled her eyes out… and she LOVED it. So she asked herself: how does the whole world not know we have the ability to feel this? Samantha and Lindsey dive into the life-changing experience of breathwork and how we can ALL tap into the healing available inside each and every one of us to release our minds and learn to feel again. Lindsey found breathwork two years ago and was completely changed for the better by this practice. In this episode, the girls share personal experiences and the soul shifting effects of this powerful healing modality.
We also talk about:
- Finding breathwork
- How emotions get caught in the body
- The ways breathwork heals us (or allows us to heal ourselves)
- Integrating breathwork into your everyday life
- Getting started with breathwork
- Vocal releasing during breathwork

THE INTERVIEW
Gabby Bernstein certainly needs no introduction. She has this ability to be so present in her own life and share what’s happening in real-time while translating that into her new message and teaching, all with a no-BS attitude that you just have to love, and we are here for it. No matter what is going on around her or in the world, she’s found a way to anchor into her own truth and intuition, and she’s sharing how we all can do the same. As we see gurus fall from the pedestals we’ve put them on, it falls upon us to figure out what messages work and what messages don’t for ourselves. We dive into her new audiobook, “You Are The Guru,” how her relationship with eating has evolved, and the difference between surrendering and finding creative solutions.

359. The Power of Airing Ugly Truths with Chinae Alexander
THE INTERVIEW
Chinae Alexander is the kind of person you just want to be friends with. She’s vulnerable about the process of improving herself and figuring shit out, but she owns who she is with confidence. By showing the imperfect side of herself, it allows the people who follow her to see that they, too, can do the work AND be confident. Now, that’s an inspiring thing we don’t often see in the sometimes too-perfect-to-be-real world of Instagram influencers. She believes in showing up as the taste menu of yourself instead of the full ten-course meal — giving people enough of the real you to satisfy them and keep them full. In this thoughtful conversation, she dives into showing up as yourself online, finding a therapist who doesn’t freak you out, processing your emotions out loud, and handling anxiety in whatever way you can.
We also talk about:
- Stepping in as a leader
- Navigating the last few months
- Processing emotions in public
- Fully existing as yourself online
- Dealing with anxiety
- How coronavirus has given us more gratitude

We dive into leadership, ego, creativity, and flow, as well as how you can stay inspired on the daily.

THE INTERVIEW
Gabby Reece is iconic. She’s an athlete, a leader, an author, a wife, a mother, and an entrepreneur, and yet still so down-to-earth it’s kinda hard to believe.

It’s a welcoming invitation to be present. She has such a liberating perspective on purpose, parenting, embracing the beauty and lessons in different phases of your life, and just being a good person on this planet. This is such an incredibly dynamic conversation from a true LEGEND that will hopefully encourage you to do things in your own way!

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

336. The Spiritual Text that Changed My Life - with Aaron Abke
THE INTERVIEW
“The Law of One” is the most profound text Krista has ever read, and after reading it, she knew she HAD to share it with #almost30nation. It’s one of those texts where, after you read it, you know you will never be the same. It’s a historical text that was translated from a consciousness of the sixth dimension, known as Ra, through a woman. If you’re just starting to explore your spirituality in earnest, the book may be diving into the deep end — but if you are interested in aliens, history, sacred geometry, or metaphysics, “The Law of One” is a must read.
Aaron Abke is a YouTuber + a conscious influencer. He’s done several videos where he breaks down the Law of One, and if you don’t feel that you can read the text, that’s an excellent place to start. He is the perfect person to dive DEEP into all things consciousness, dimensions, aliens, pyramids — everything K + L LOVE to talk about!

- The trajectory of Aaron’s spiritual awakening
- What the Law of One is

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

332. White Privilege: Waking Up to Our Unconscious Biases (re-release)
THE INTERVIEW
K + L are here, as always, to have real, honest conversations — ones that challenge us, make us uncomfortable, and help us grow. This conversation with Thaís Sky on white privilege and white fragility from 2018 is one of those. These are important parts of who many of us are and what we experience that we need to look at in order to be better and do better. Our hope is that you are inspired to dismantle your attachment and support of systems that, for centuries, have contributed to blatant racism and inequality. Enough is enough. We ask that in listening, you have an open mind, are ready to learn, and are willing to explore how you can be a part of the change. .
We also talk about:
- Opportunities for growth
- Being addicted to our shitty thoughts + shitty people
- Trying not to compartmentalize our own spirituality
- Feeling unworthy of your own self-care: we can't show up for others if we’re not showing up for ourselves.
- The governmental + societal systems that keep certain groups of people oppressed
- How white women contribute to + benefit from racism
- How we can REALLY educate ourselves about systematic oppression + privilege
- When you have privilege, what is your place in the conversation?
- Living in an emotionally illiterate culture
- How to avoid tokenizing people of color
- What’s wrong when people say they’re “color blind”
- The importance of doing this work, even imperfectly (because perfect just isn’t going to happen)
- Deciding what kind of legacy we want to leave

330. Triggers: How to identify + work through them with Aaron Rose
THE INTERVIEW
Aaron Rose is the coach that K + L have been working with to help them uncover unconscious biases, be more intentional, and nurture inclusivity. There can be so much information, news, and things we’re seeing daily that can be very triggering right now. We hear that word a lot, trigger, and it’s important for us to unpack what that really means and how we can work against that. It’s okay to be triggered, but there’s something underneath that trigger that needs to be examined. How do we fix these deep-rooted issues that go so far back? Aaron teaches us his method of inner work for dealing with triggers.
We also talk about:
- A nuanced understanding of manifestation
- Finding the root cause of your feelings and allowing yourself to feel them

We’ve talked about white fragility, white supremacy, allyship, and the issue of race, and these are all things that need to be brought back to the forefront. Rachel is doing so much to show us how to engage with white supremacy, how we as white people play a huge role in the race conversations going on, and how we can be better to support anti-racism. We need to work together against the system that has created this huge rift in society. We have so much power, we need to use that power for good.

326. 6 Tips for Building Confidence
THE SOLO
Confidence is so key. Yes, we’ve all heard it before, but some things are cliché for a reason. K + L each offer three tried-and-true tips for being more confident, all born from their personal experiences. But remember — confidence is always going to be something personal to you. It doesn’t have to look the same as someone else, and it doesn’t even have to look like sunshine and rainbows. Confidence is something you work on getting closer to, and you never quite get there fully, but it’s so worth working towards all the same.
We also talk about:
- Working towards confidence
- Facing hard things
- Finding quiet to hear our own voices
- Channeled writing
- Appreciating your body
- Engaging in self-care

322. Community Call #1: Finding Confidence in Community
THE SOLO
K + L have been wanting to connect with the community two-on-one for a while and are so excited to finally share the first of many conversations in their new series, “Community Call”! We’ve been wanting to hear from YOU - Almost 30 nation - and how you’ve been impacted by the show, taken the messages shared by guests or other members of the community, and have made serious, positive changes in your life. Joining them this week is Emily Feikls, who first discovered the podcast when she was 18 and struggling with finding like-minded friends in her rural town. At the time, Emily felt like an outsider, like she didn’t belong to any community — but she felt an instant connection to #ALMOST30NATION as soon as she found it. She then took small steps to take control of her life and live in her truth - including attending last year’s retreat and starting her very own podcast and community. Emily is an inspiration, modeling for all of us how you can alchemize pain + grief into a beautiful life that you love.
We also talk about:
- How an 18-year old gets into Almost 30

320. 3 Practices to Build Self-Trust
THE SOLO
Trust is so, so important in any healthy relationship — that’s obvious, right? It shouldn’t be any different when it comes to ourselves. Trusting yourself and the way you live your life is transformational. We all reach a moment where it’s time to break up with this expectation — whether from our parents or someone else — of how our life was supposed to go and to trust ourselves to live life the way we want. Lindsey shares her experience making the transition from not trusting herself to a more consistent and confident level of trust and the three practices she follows to help build that self trust every day.
We also talk about:
- The experiences that damaged Lindsey’s self trust
- What trusting yourself (or not) looks like
- The ways you can strengthen your trust
- What happens when you trust yourself

319. Ramit Sethi on Elevating Your Wealth Consciousness
THE INTERVIEW
Ramit Sethi’s book, I Will Teach You To Be Rich, is an absolute game-changer in the finance world. He is charismatic, grounded, and relatable — not to mention one of the most progressive voices in the financial literacy and wellness space. He does not sugar coat things, and when it comes to finances and getting really good at managing them, you have to be real about it. He infamously pushes back against the tired advice of “cutting out lattes” in order to save money. Instead, Ramit focuses on indulging in the things you actually care about and noticing when you spend money on things you don’t really care about.
We also talk about:
- How to get over making excuses when it comes to finances
- The connection between human behavior and finance
- Getting your finances together in your 20’s
- Creating money rules around “yes” instead of “no”
- Stop worrying about things you shouldn’t
- How your spending changes as you grow

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

Krista is exploring this one popular concept in today’s episode: authenticity.Catch that gag reflex!

We also talk about:
- Why K hasn’t identified with the term “authentic”

Ep. 272 - Laticia Rolle on Valuing Sisterhood + Healing From Toxic Relationships
Today K + L are kicking it off with dreams and ways to cleanse your home from unwanted energy! Have you ever experienced a psychic dream? Lindsey shares a friend’s psychic dream that involved L and a new romance, then Krista illustrates her recent natural disaster dreams and the meaning behind them. Krista breaks down the exact way she’s been cleansing her apartment - from playing sounds that break up stuck energy, burning palo santo, and smudge sprays by Tisha Morris, you’ll learn some fun new ways to cleanse your home’s energy!
THE INTERVIEW
Today we are joined by the founder and CEO of Tress for Us and host of Girl We Got This podcast, Laticia Rolle! We can’t express enough admiration for Laticia. She is the definition of a true friend with her unwavering support and love. Growing up in a large family and as an athlete for most of her life, Laticia’s life has always revolved around creating sisterhood and meaningful relationships—which is a central part of today’s conversation.
Laticia vulnerably shares her experience with her parent’s divorce, toxic relationships, and cheating. We talk about the lows that come from heartbreak, the comparison game, and the incessant checking of the other girl’s Instagram. We explore the reasons women don’t leave cheaters, and Laticia explains why she finally ended her toxic relationship. She expresses the importance of asking for help, especially when you start over.
We ask how Laticia began fostering her authentic self, particularly after being surrounded by high-profile individuals and extreme wealth, which influenced who she ‘had’ to be. A huge takeaway from our conversation is how we need to stop comparing ourselves to other women, and begin owning the beauty and uniqueness that is YOU.
We also talk about:
- Why Laticia loves modeling
- Defining loyalty after toxic relationships
- Gas-lighting
- Women’s intuition
- Laticia’s inner dialogue while being cheated on
- Fighting for yourself and choosing yourself
- The role guilt plays in women’s lives

- What Laticia is proud of right now

Ep. 259 - LaRayia Gaston on Breaking Stigmas Around Homelessness + Healing with Radical Love
Today we are joined by the founder of the nonprofit Lunch On Me, LaRayia Gaston. Her work is powerful, her belief in people is unwavering, and today’s episode is both uplifting and heartbreaking. The Los Angeles based charity provides nutritious and organic meals to more than 10,000 people per month. Their mission is to end starvation by redistributing food that would otherwise be wasted.

In our conversation, LaRayia shares how she was drawn to Mother Teresa at a young age, and how feeding the homeless was her form of tithing by fourteen years old. She describes the changes she’s seen in the homeless community by providing food, and explains the bitter truth about pharmaceuticals, street drugs, and mental health. LaRayia also shares beautiful, tear-jerking stories that show how small deeds go a long way. She encourages us to be mindful of windows of opportunity where we can not only help, but gain a shift in perspective by connecting with the homeless.
We also talk about:
- How the homeless community has impacted LaRayia
- How homelessness can be a gift

Ep. 255 - Brittany Piper on Life After Sexual Assault + Healing a Broken System
If you’ve experienced sexual assault or some form of trauma, may today’s guest inspire you with her powerful story of resilience and hope. Brittany Piper is a sexual assault survivor who has taken her pain and turned it into purpose.

She details her experience with learning to love herself again after being so disconnected, and shares thoughtful, grounding questions you can use to help heal your own trauma. We know you’ll be touched by her story, and the work she now does to make a difference in trauma survivors’ lives.
We also talk about:

Are you looking to connect with people through dating, making new friends, or networking?

Ep. 237 - Julie Solomon on Finding Your Genius + Upleveling Your Brand
Today’s listen is applicable for all the women in our community—from mothers, to corporate babes, to entrepreneurs. We are joined by marketing strategist, New York Times best-selling publicist, and host of The Influencer Podcast, Julie Solomon. As the creator of Pitch It Perfect, she teaches bloggers and influencers how to pitch to brands and create a sustainable online business.

Ep. 235 - Sheri Salata on ‘The Beautiful No’ and What It Means To Truly Live
Today’s conversation highlights how the heartbreaking “no’s” we receive in life can take us in a better and more meaningful direction. Our guest is Sheri Salata, whose humor and wild spirit is infectious. After a twenty year career as the Executive Producer of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Sheri is now the author of The Beautiful No, co-host of The Sheri + Nancy Show, and co-founder of thepillarlife.com.
Our conversation begins with an emotional recounting of when Sheri’s brother passed away suddenly from a heart attack nine years ago. For years, she avoided processing her grief by immersing herself in work and caring for family. She shares the ways she was able to move through her grief by deepening her spirituality and making self-care a top priority every single day.
Sheri’s humor and honesty as she reflects on every single job she’s had, how each one has made her who she is today as an entrepreneur, and how the No’s ultimately gave her everything she needed to succeed, one lesson at a time. From managing a convenience store and a toy store, to working as a secretary. Sheri has started over and felt lost countless times, but kept searching for something to fill her with meaning. At age 35, she landed an entry level job at The Oprah Winfrey Show, and finally found what she was searching for—purpose.
We also talk about:
- Using gratitude for your growth
- Importance of dreaming and creating
- Uplifting others, seeing their potential and verbalizing it
- Being choosy about who you share your space with
- Cherishing our bodies in a deliberate way
- Sheri’s decision to have a plant-based diet

Ep. 234 - The Intimacy of Motherhood, Ancestral Healing, + Living Authentically with Peta Kelly
Today we are sitting down with author, mother, and one of our favorite humans, Peta Kelly. Let us give you a few reasons why we love this woman so much: 1) Peta holds family as one of her greatest values 2) She is funny as hell 3) She walks the talk 4) She has taught us how to have hard conversations 4) She is constantly evolving without needing anything from anyone. The list continues to grow—especially after today’s interview.
Since becoming a mom, she has really focused on the intimacy of motherhood, and shares the outside fears pushed on her during pregnancy, and the trust she maintained within herself. Peta explains what ancestral healing is and the work she does to help heal the painful experiences of her family’s past, like having open conversations with her husband.
While in her twenties, Peta focused on soul growth, while working hard as an entrepreneur to set herself up financially before moving into motherhood. We discuss how she’s evolved spiritually since then, since writing her book, Earth is Hiring, and how her self-care rituals, such as stepping off of social media and Cacao ceremonies, have changed since becoming a mom. We could talk to our girl all day, but we hope this conversation will fill you up for a while—self-expression, personal growth, and relationships—LET’S GO!
We also talk about:
- Peta’s preparation & rituals for her home birth
- Relationships with plant medicine
- Importance of trust in soul growth

Ep. 232 - Ayana Young on Climate Change + How We Can Reconnect with and Save Mother Earth
Our relationship with Mother Earth, and the need for even the smallest of actions to protect her, is our focus in today’s podcast with Ayana Young. She is the founder of the nonprofit For The Wild which now encompasses the 1 Million Redwoods reforestation project, For the Wild podcast, and a new spinoff series birthed from a preservation campaign around the Tongass National Forest. Ayana’s journey as an advocate and protector of our Earth began when she was studying Ecology at Columbia University. She eventually dropped out to become a full time political organizer. She intertwined the environmental concerns with the “Occupy Wall Street” movement to bring awareness to the decline of our planet’s health.
Ayana’s passion comes through as she illustrates how we are connected to everything; our modern lives are directly related to taking resources from the planet and not reciprocating. She explains the detriments of logging and building dams and howgold mining has created genocide in the west by producing high volumes of waste water. She urges us to invest in our local communities, and to educate ourselves and become more aware of climate change even when it’s overwhelming and heartbreaking. Ayana shares how she recommits herself to the Earth every day, and how each of us can reestablish that connection.

Ep. 231 - Dr. Jen Esquer on Overcoming Infidelity + Reconnecting to Your Body + Intuition
This episode if for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from their body and intuition, for anyone navigating life after betrayal and for anyone wanting to forgive others and themselves. This is an intimate conversation on relationships, trust, listening to your physical and emotional bodies. Joining us is physical therapist Dr. Jen Esquer, founder of the The Mobility Method, known for relieving pain, preventing injury, and optimizing movement. Jen is all about affecting change in the body through education, movement, and building appreciation for what our unique bodies are capable of doing.
But we are honored to have Jen talk about more than mobility today. She opens up about her past relationship ending in infidelity, the way she handled the heartbreak, and how connected she became to her inner knowing. It really struck a chord with us when she discusses the importance of having friends that can hold a safe space, without judgment, to release the spectrum of emotions that may arise. We unpack the benefits of breathwork and the effect it can have on your parasympathetic nervous system. For example, it allows one to release emotions so they don’t stay trapped. Jen gives a generous tool box if we ever lose ourselves in someone or a situation and want to reconnect with who we really are.
We also talk about:
- Knowing when to leave and when to work on a relationship
- How our triggers may affect other people
- Finding forgiveness for yourself
- Expectations versus reality (when someone shows you who they are, believe them!)
- Understanding pain, mobility, and breath

Ep. 211 - The LA Foster Care System, Social Work + How We Can Help
We are so grateful for today’s episode and today’s guest, sharing her story and providing an inside look at what it’s like to be a social worker in the foster care system today. On a previous episode, we had mentioned how we’d like to be educated more on the foster care system, and an incredible member of #almost30nation reached out to share her story. This conversation today is emotional, insightful, and is sure to offer you a clearer picture of the field of social work and the world foster kids live in today.
Words from our guest:
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working and residing in Los Angeles County. I work with children, teenagers, and families with severe histories of trauma and mental illness. The children and families I work with are a part of the LA County foster care system. I support my clients by helping them process their trauma, empowering them to reach their full potential, advocating for their needs, navigating the foster care system, and guiding them through the roller coaster journey they are on. I have never met more resilient people than my clients, and they inspire me to do this challenging work and be the best version of myself day in and day out.
I am originally from the Bay Area and moved to the East Coast to complete my Master of Social Work (MSW) program at New York University. About 5 years ago, I moved to Los Angeles and began working within the LA County Department of Mental Health and Department of Children and Family Services. I was working with a 13 yr old female client who was very suicidal. I was going to her home 3-4 times weekly for therapy sessions to ensure she was safe, had someone to talk to, and could work through her suicidal thoughts. As our time was coming to an end, we wrote each other letters as part of our termination and goodbye process. In her letter to me she wrote, "thank you for letting me realize that life is worth living" THIS is the reason I do what I do.
Helping one person might not change the whole world, but it can change the world for one person. Honestly, that is what motivates me day in and day in. That is what I find so rewarding about my job. I know I am not going to “save” all my clients. I know some will fall through the cracks. But I also know that if I can make an impact on just one child, that I am helping change the world for that one person.
Statistics (from CASA organization):
Foster youth in LA is 30,000
33% of California’s foster youth currently reside in LA County
73% of foster youth have spent two or more years in the system
38% of youth have had five or more foster care placements
Less than 50% of foster youth graduate from high school and only 3% graduate from college
33% of girls in foster care become pregnant at least once by age 17
25% of youth aging out of foster care will be incarcerated within two years
At age 19, 60% of former foster youth are unemployed
27% of the homeless population spent time in foster care
Only 3% graduate from college
Half of all young adults who age out of foster care end up homeless or incarcerated.
75% of young women in foster care report at least one pregnancy by age 21

Ep. 205 - Pregnancy + Postpartum: Optimizing Nutrition and Harnessing Your Power with Daniela Kende
Daniela Kende, holistic health coach and natural birthing expert, joins us on today’s episode.

In today’s conversation, we go deep into nutrition while pregnant and trying to get pregnant– what to eat, what to pay attention to, and ultimately figuring out what works best for you. Daniela also shares her own personal pregnancy journey, her labor story, what it’s been like since her daughter was born, and the conversation around having a natural birth at a hospital.
We also talk about…

Lindsey and Krista feel incredibly lucky to experience this type of relationship, but to sit down with another pair of female entrepreneurs who love each other just as much as they love the business, well you could not have dreamed up a better meeting.

Tone It Up is an incredible community of strong women who support and motivate you to lead your healthiest, happiest lives (and make your dreams come true).

In our conversation, we talk about moving to California, how the two met, and how Tone It Up was born. The two share what it was like to watch their community begin to take off, pitching themselves to Self Magazine and other companies, and what originally sparked their interest into the fitness world. This conversation is such an inspiring look into the beautiful fitness empire that Karena and Katrina have created, and offers insight on the differences that make their relationship work, the consistency it takes to build a fempire like this one, the highs and the lows, the faith and the fear along the way, and what’s to come for Tone It Up.

Sophia Carter-Kahn and April K. Quioh, the voices behind the She’s All Fat podcast, join us for an open and honest conversation about varying opinions and their experience in building a body positive podcast. Both April and Sophia have backgrounds in writing, and that’s how the two initially met!

Sophia and April also share their own personal journey towards self-love, and how the road to loving their own bodies and self acceptance—it hasn’t always been linear. The girls all laugh over the ways they take a break to digest all of the (at times heartbreaking) media, mainly in the forms of binge-watching new television series. In our conversation we go deep into how words like “fat” and “skinny” are neutral, and how we need to change the way that these topics are approached, especially in today’s social media-driven culture.

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

Ep. 160 - Compatibility, Your Saturn Return + The Other Retrogrades with Aliza Kelly
We are taking a look into the cosmos today with astrologer, Aliza Kelly! At times, astrology can be confusing, but Aliza’s super down to Earth approach makes astrology so much easier to digest and understand. Aliza serves as the in-house astrologer and occult story columnist for Allure Magazine, as well as creating the moneyscopes for Cheddar.com. She shares with us how her uncle peaked her interest in the world of astrology, but how she didn’t fully immerse herself in the world until many years later, when she created a dating app rooted in astrological compatibility. In our conversation, we talk all about eclipses, retrogrades, and saturn returns - oh my! We also quickly discover the ties that the planetary alignment has with the political atmosphere, relationships, and how we can all use astrology as a window to take a look into the future. Listen up as Aliza gives a glimpse into each planet to helps us all understand our own sign, and why we have the characteristics that we do. The Mixology of Astrology, Aliza’s new book, just came out - be sure to grab a copy to better understand how astrology can be used in all aspects of your life, even down to the happy hour drink you sip on!
We also talk about...
- Eclipses: how they differ + what they mean
- What’s the big deal with retrogrades?
- What each planet brings to the astrological table
- Astrology and relationships
- The different types of astrology
- Aliza answers questions from #ALMOST30NATION

Ep. 159 - The Abstinence Myth: Breaking The Stigma Around Addiction, Rebuilding Relationships, and Living An IGNTD Life with Dr. Adi Jaffe
This conversation with Adi was so refreshing, and totally necessary given today’s climate. He is very clear with his points, his intentions, and his message surrounding drugs and addiction. Adi Jaffe, PhD, is a research psychologist, addiction specialist, and founder of IGNTD - Igniting Lives Beyond Limits. A nationally recognized speaker and expert on mental health and stigma, he has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, Good Morning America, CNN and more. His Tedx Talk on shame has been seen by nearly 500,000 people. Adi’s approach to addiction is so incredible, as he lifts the shame around it to make it more suitable for progression and healing, offering grace in a conversation that tends to have none.
Adi’s own story is beautiful, and we appreciate his openness and honesty in sharing it with us all. We take a deep dive into who Adi was before he met Sophie — from selling ecstasy, to struggling with depression, to beginning to experiment with harder drugs, like meth. We hear the differences between the drugs he took, and how with each step he took, the harder it was to break free from the addiction. Adi also shares the reality of trying to rebuild a life after addiction and a criminal record, and the beginning stages of his relationship with Sophie. It is truly their differences that make the relationship strong, balanced, and beautiful. Adi tells us all about his brand new book, The Abstinence Myth, and what sparked this incredible take on the connection between abstinence and addiction.
We also talk about...
- Adi’s motivation to get clean
- What he learned in jail
- The 4 factors of addiction
- Conversations around shame + how to have them
- Reframing the idea of an addict
- An IGNTD success story

Ep. 158 - Eat Feel Fresh: Tri-Doshic Eating + Lifestyle Ayurveda for Everyday with Sahara Rose
We are hanging with our soul sister, the funny + beautiful, Sahara Rose. Everyone in our Secret Facebook group can’t stop talking about our first ever episode with Sahara, over a year ago. With her new GORGEOUS cookbook, Eat Feel Fresh, being released, we knew we had to have her back on. Sahara created this cookbook as a way to bring the beauty of Ayurveda to modern times in easy, accessible recipes that are sure to help you live more aligned with your doshas.
In the episode, you’ll get a run down of the 3 doshas (for a deeper look, listen to our first episode with Sahara), how she brought India to life in the pages of her new cookbook, and why it was important to her to work with local photographers for this project. We all had a good laugh over how Vata Lindsey is, and how Pitta Krista is - but Krista with those beautiful Kapha cheeks and Lindsey spending time on the toilet like a true Pitta, we dive into possible combos! PLUS the why behind the recipes Sahara chose to put in her cookbook. We also dish on dosha’s! Sahara shares why she knew she wanted to be with a Pitta guy, and how her dating experience with a Kapha helped her come to that realization. The two of us just couldn’t love this girl any more.
We also discuss...
- Looking back at Sahara’s transition from her first book to her second
- What tri-doshic cooking is
- The 6 tastes in Ayurveda
- Sahara’s favorite recipes in her cookbook
- Tips on creating powerful passive income

Recent discussions in our Secret Facebook group inspired today’s episode. So many of you have turned to the group for guidance and advice surrounding the pain of grief and loss. How do we cope? Does it get easier? When our loved one’s pass, where do they go and how do they feel?

Lindsey has been sitting with Tim once a year for about three years. Each time, she experiences deep healing in connecting with her loved ones and friends who have passed. Often times they have messages for her about what is currently happening in her life, which is immensely comforting and affirming that they are with us always.
We discuss…
- Lindsey and Krista’s reading with Tim
- Healthy ego + staying within our humbleness

Ep. 153 - Defying Travel Stereotypes with Nomadness Founder Evita Robinson
#Almost30nation! Hello friends! Excited to introduce you to this week’s guest. Evita Robinson founded the NOMADNESS Travel Tribe, a first-of-its-kind movement bringing together and representing the underrepresented in mainstream travel. Their mission is to show the world that travel has no racial, gender, religious, economic, or interest limitations through community representation and relevancy (like the $50,000,000 being injected into the travel industry every year).
In today’s political climate, it’s more important than ever to get out and travel, meet different people, and immerse yourself in diverse cultures. It allows us to gain perspective and see ourselves as just a part of humanity; something to keep you modest, keep you grounded, and keep you connected to what’s REAL! We love the way Evita embodies this, and we know you are all going to love her.
We discuss…
- A stark view of how people of color are underrepresented in the travel industry
- The highs and lows of NOMADNESS’ group travel events (but mostly highs)
- How NOMADNESS came to be
- Reverse culture shock: when home feels like a foreign country
- How Evita approaches building a community
- Navigating a new challenge + stepping into your light
- How social media changed travel
- Evita’s relationship with spirituality
- The Airbnb experience for people of color + partnering with Airbnb
- Why you need people of color in your marketing teams + HR
- Creating safe + sacred spaces
- What’s next for NOMADNESS: the first U.S. festival for travelers of color!

Ep. 149 - Trans Issues are Cis Issues: Challenging the Gender Binary + Connecting Through Differences with Alok Vaid-Menon
Alok Vaid-Menon is a gender non-conforming performance artist, writer, and educator. Taken from Alok’s own writing “In a world that requires everyone to 'pass' within two discrete categories of 'man' OR 'woman' what would it mean for gender non-conformity to be regarded as beautiful, desirable, legitimate, and worthy?”. They are performing, speaking, and writing from their soul to connect through differences and challenge the archaic social construct that is gender.
Alok is so comfortable in their skin and their glam, and the confidence is infectious! We had a ton of fun chatting with them, soaking in their poetic words – and we know you’re going to leave this episode with a little bit more hope, a little bit more inspiration, and new ways to challenge the current paradigm!
We talk about…
- The ins and outs of your passion being your business
- Growing up (emotionally repressed) in a small Texas town
- Southern “politeness”
- Balancing being a strong example for others + being a complex, flawed human
- Why it hurts when we turn someone into a metaphor and a symbol
- Visibility does not mean safety for women and trans people
- Where Alok developed their emotional vocabulary
- Gender + shame
- Learning not to fear their own gender nonconformity
- The psychology of fascism
- Why Alok is frustrated by the individualism of self-care
- The people who bully us want to be us
- Aesthetics as political resistance
- Violence against gender non-conforming individuals has escalated over the past few years
- What we can all do, every day, to challenge the current paradigm

Ep. 147 - Finding Your True Note: The Emotional + Spiritual Power of Voice with Stewart Pearce
Stewart Pearce is a world-renowned voice coach, an intuitive, and a seer of forty years. He was the highlight of a SoulCycle Legends retreat that Lindsey attended and, after teaching her how to find her true tone, we knew we had to introduce Stewart to all of you..
How many of us have a different voice that answers the phone, that leads meetings, that talks to a partner, that talks to children? Kind of crazy right? As women, we often pitch up to sound more lady-like--yet, disconnected from our belly breath and gut instinct. Your voice is connected to so much more than just your larynx – it’s deeply emotional + spiritual, and today we explore the dynamics of that relationship. We wanted to know what it meant and what it felt like to express from your true tone. Also, as a special treat, Stewart leads us through a beautiful meditation in finding our true note!
We talk about…
- Expressing your highest self
- Stewart’s ethereal experience with sound
- Growing up synaesthetic
- Grounding yourself in the human experience
- The relationship between exploring your sexual being + the development of your voice
- Being a spiritual being having a human experience
- How our relationships with the people around us affect our voice
- Why we need to meditate
- The physicality of your voice
- Grounding yourself
- Stewart’s relationship with Princess Diana

Carly Stein lives and breathes bees. She is a beekeeper herself, an advocate for saving the bees (and our food supply) through sustainable beekeeping, and the Founder + CEO of Beekeeper’s Naturals.
If you haven’t heard of it yet, Beekeeper’s Naturals is an incredible company with a simple purpose: to bring us the highest quality products from the hive and nurture a greater awareness for saving our bees. Their naturally-sourced superfoods are effective alternatives to some of your typical, chemical-based OTC medicines – and these superfoods have become an important part of Lindsey + Krista’s daily routines as of late, helping them feel their best by leveraging the magic of nature!

- Falling in love with beekeeping
- The female-driven bee society
- Why “organic” honey is actually extremely difficult to produce (even if it’s made on an organic farm)
- Why we’re losing a disproportionate number of bees – and why that’s a HUGE problem!

- Why Carly washes her face with honey

She’s already caused us to start thinking more about being really honest and open with our feelings so that we can expand and grow, in our relationships and just our lives in general, and we know she’ll help all of you grow as well! We chat about…
- Creating a story about your life that doesn’t serve you – and then rewriting it!
- Learning to listen to your intuition
- Numbing yourself with pharmaceuticals + overcoming an addiction to Adderall
- Losing your father as a child
- Our relationship with death
- We always find the evidence for what we choose to believe
- The unique process Amber went through to write her book
- Becoming aware of the story you tell yourself
- What scientific insights Amber learned while researching her book
- Fear of being radically raw + open
- Open relationships
- Dropping the shame around doing things differently
- Being a shadow artist: someone who is behind other people, helping to elevate and push them forward because they’re afraid to step into the light
- Living your life out of alignment

Ep. 135 - Family Constellations: Connecting Your Inner Child to Your Adult Self + Healing Generational Trauma with Marine Sélénée
You may not know it (at least not yet), but your family story might be the one thing holding you back from success.
We can’t change our parents or our family – and we can’t change what’s already happened – but we can change our perception around it. Unresolved traumatic events in your family can hinder how happiness and success flow to us in the present and future. Marine Sélénée is a Family Constellations specialist who is dedicated to bringing peace, love, and respect to families. Krista + Lindsey can attest that Family Constellations will help you break free from any negative painful patterns – and it will be life changing.
After hitting rock bottom at the age of 25, Marine started her own healing journey and discovered the power of Family Constellations firsthand. Now she shares that gift with others, helping people finally bring order back to their lives, make peace with what was, and accept what they did receive and did not receive. We talk about…
- Moving from France to the U.S.
- Hitting rock bottom at the age of 25 + going through a spiritual awakening
- Starving to be be seen, to be heard, and to be recognized
- Everyone has a different perception
- Why you can’t heal unconscious, underlying problems in your family – you need to unearth them
- The little boy or girl inside of you who is just waiting to be seen or heard
- Storing trauma in your body + healing it
- When a mom or dad might need their kid to take care of them
- How to discover what affected you subconsciously
- Why parents need to respect their children enough to tell them the truth, even when it’s hard
- How you can be impacted by past generations, beyond your mother and father

Last time Lindsey + Krista talked to Lacy Phillips, the creative spirit and Manifestation Advisor behind Free and Native, she taught us how to manifest our dream lives. It was a life-changing conversation and we are all honored by the incredible support that #ALMOST30NATION has offered Lacy since. But we had to have Lacy back on the show because she has come so far since we last spoke to her!
One of Lacy’s gifts (and one of the reasons we love her so much) is that she’s an expander... she’s just so grounded and real, so comforting and inspiring, constantly holding a space for others to realize their own sense of self. We can’t say enough good things about her and we know this episode is going to change lives!
We discuss…

Ep. 131 - Suzy Batiz on Radical Resonance, Ayahuasca + Her $300 Milllion Dollar Idea That Is Liberating People Everywhere
This episode has pretty much everything you could want out of a podcast: it’s natural, hilarious, interesting, fun, and with just a little bit of poop. That’s because Krista + Lindsey got to sit down with Suzy Batiz, creator of Poo-Pourri.

We definitely spend some time talking about the product and what it’s like to be a female founder, but things get a lot deeper than that – there’s even an absolutely incredible ghost story that Lindsey + Krista can not stop sharing at parties!
And if you’ll be near Dallas on Tuesday, September 25th, you can catch Lindsey, Krista, and Suzy LIVE! Click here to get your tickets now!!

Loretta teaches people how to build power over their mammalian brain chemistry and understand nature’s operating system.
Because if we understand the science of what’s happening when we form habits or feel a certain way, we have the power to manipulate those chemicals, rewire our brains, and ultimately, live a better life. Are you ready to make peace with your inner mammal?
We discuss…
- Early brain development
- Why it’s so difficult to create new neural pathways in our brains after puberty
- Our impulse to want more
- Serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, & endorphin
- The medical model VS the animal world
- Ups + downs being NORMAL
- Do animals have memories like we do?
- Why the size of your brain directly correlates to the length of childhood (and the animal with the biggest brain)
- The amazing miracle of reproduction
- Breaking an addictive habit
- Getting back to neutral after experiencing trauma
- Endorphins + GABA
- Every single person being wired for an individual experience (and feeling a little different from the herd)

Ep. 124 - Dreaming as a Spiritual Practice: Manifesting from the Realm of Potential + Possibility with Connie Kaplan
Krista + Lindsey have been dying to talk about dreams forever, so they put the call out there and manifested the lovely Connie Kaplan. Connie is a spiritual mentor who teaches dreaming as a spiritual practice and a unique form of theology, which centers around an understanding of each person’s life purpose.
Connie found her calling after contracting a mysterious virus and spending nearly two years of her life in bed. She slept, and she slept and slept and slept, and she experienced a profound spiritual transformation which altered not only her inner experience of life but her outer expression of life.
We kind of pass dreams off as being silly, crazy, or dumb, but they have a deep meaning and purpose. We spend half of our lives in this unconscious state – there’s so much happening and so much to be learned, if we choose to take control of it and use it as a method to transform. This conversation gets a little out there, but you know us! We talk about…
- The illness that changed Connie’s life
- How the moon affects our dreams + tracking your dreams according to the lunar cycle
- Everyone’s unique dreaming pattern
- Dreaming to heal
- Collective dreams about 9/11
- How dreams allow our subconscious minds to communicate with the collective energies
- Heather’s dream pillow
- The 13 different types of dreams
- Menstruation + dreams
- The unique chakra system that Connie received as a download
- Doing the subconscious work
- Jungian vs Freudian analysis
- Using a dream journal

The girls also open up about where they are personally struggling in their relationship with money. After all, they can’t be alone!

- Women and their changing relationship with finances- becoming primary breadwinners and stepping into our POWER.

- Approachable and salient definitions + metaphors for understanding financial terms that may intimidate those of us not in the know. Alternatively, “Male Speak” in finance.

- Manisha’s recommendation to read The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey.

Ep. 102 - The Menstrual Disc That Could Change Your Life, Sexuality, and Female Entrepreneurship with Lauren Schulte, CEO + Founder of The FLEX Company
It was such a joy + a pleasure to interview Lauren Schulte, the CEO + Founder of The FLEX Company. We totally went there in today’s episode! From how to insert the disc, to experiencing painful vaginal infections, and even chatting about the way partners (without vaginas) say they feel about supporting women through PMS symptoms - we covered it all!
Lauren shares with us how she suffered in silence with intense period pain and subsequent infections. When Lauren’s doctor informed her that tampon usage could be culpable for her chronic issues, she quit using them immediately and tried more than 30 alternative feminine hygiene products from all over the world (including the menstrual cup).
Already a successful businesswoman herself, Lauren ditched her career in Silicon Valley to meet a HUGE need in the female healthcare market. Lauren decided it was time to invest appropriate resources into creating a solution to the period woes women all around the world could identify with. A perfect storm of personal experience and business + marketing smarts, Lauren’s initiative has changed the menstruation game with the best alternative to using tampons!
We discuss…
- FLEX - A new period product called a “menstrual disc.” Tampons and menstrual cups, by design, “plug up” the vagina (causing cramping + bloating), while menstrual discs are meant to sit higher up, much like a diaphragm
- How FLEX can be left in for 12 hours AND you can have sex while it’s inserted - no infections or cramps!
- The way tampons absorb all bacteria, including the GOOD bacteria, and can often lead to an imbalance (+ subsequent vaginal infections)
- Lauren’s transition from a career in Silicon Valley to becoming the Founder + CEO of a start-up (which included taking big risks + pitching to many male investors)
- Navigating the imposter syndrome as a female/Founder + CEO
- Addressing challenging relationship dynamics in the workplace through open and honest conversations (Lindsey + Krista also chime in on their experiences working together on Almost 30 Podcast)
- How to give feedback well (Hint - ALWAYS lead with inquiry)
- Men who feel afraid and embarrassed about not knowing how to help their girlfriends through intrusive PMS symptoms
- Being a leader - a people and performance manager - as the Founder + CEO and, thereafter, shaping the workplace culture
- Lauren’s TEDx talk (in the works) - She plans to present the sociological understanding that there is no such thing as “gay” or “straight,” but rather sexuality is a spectrum ( + her own experience falling in love with a woman)
- Men embracing their feminine energy in heterosexual relationships (not necessarily being effeminate)

Ep. 80 Your New Formula For Manifesting Your Dream Life With Lacy Phillips
Today on Almost 30, Krista and Lindsey are honored to welcome Lacy Phillips. She is the creative, connected spirit behind the blog Free and Native and a Manifestation Advisor.
She had a conscious awakening at 25, which changed the trajectory of her life. Started manifesting her own way after reading a slew of manifestation books that didn't resonate with her. We talk to Lacy about the birth of Free and Native and how she began sharing her own way of manifesting with friends and clients. Soon she realized, IT WORKED.
Are you feeling stuck? Wrapped up in the self-help books and wanting clarity on the process to attract what you want? Do you consistently attract the same type of people or the same type of chaos? Are you curious about the deep connection between your subconscious and your reality? Do you want to call in your future partner? If you are simply on a journey to get to know yourself better.....than this episode is for you.
We talk about:
- How Lacy's method of manifesting is fundamentally different than mainstream methods
- What is reparenting?
- How the subconscious mind is the magnet in manifestation
- The purpose of lessons and tests from the universe as it pertains to manifestation
- Lacy's version of hypnosis
- Doing the homework and observing the shifting self
- Reprogramming smallness and finding accountability
- What are expanders?
- How to call in your future partner
#Almost30nation, we are so stoked to hear from you once you start implementing Lacy's manifestation method. It's exciting and empowering when you realize that you have the ability to attract what you want most in this life. Be sure to check out Lacy's blog, Free and Native, linked above! Grab a notebook, happy listening!! xx

Ep. 79 Leading Lady Mia Serafino On Hollywood, Doing The Work, + Being A Female In Film
Ever wondered what it's actually like to "Follow The Yellow Brick Road"? Well, newsflash IT'S HARD WORK. And the hilarious and talented rising star, MIA SERAFINO is here to tell us why. We're in need of some serious everyday inspo so get ready for grounded girl talk with Mia, an actress who's been on Shameless, Saving Mr. Banks, Crowded, and you guessed it, Oz: The Great & Powerful.
This episode is honest and hilarious. We talk about the true consistency it takes to get what you want when pursuing your dream, being an actress in a town like L.A, putting your head down and doing the work, her transition between her early 20's and her late 20's, the challenges of being female in the entertainment industry, doubling for Mila Kunis, and kissing Hugh Jackman. That's right, HUGH FUCKING JACKMAN. Who then became one of her major acting mentors. #SAME.
Mia inspired us to the MAX, sharing her mantras that make her feel legitimate and confident in any situation. But in terms of the battle of balance - relationships, career, your craft, money, and everything in between - even if you're not an actress, this conversation is something that we can all relate to. Some goodies from this episode...
- "I never cared about being famous, I just wanted to be good."
- "The harder I worked, the luckier I got."
- "When you just make it about the work, nothing else matters."

Ep. 78 “Don't Sugar Coat Your Diet” - The Power Of Sugar + Finding Every Piece Of The Health Puzzle With Holistic Health Coach Jess Suchan
It's that time of year again ALMOST30NATION. Booze, cookies, candy, holiday craziness in general ... the temptations ARE REAL. That's why we brought in JESSICA SUCHAN, LA Holistic Nutritionist + Health Coach, to save us (and our booty's) from falling off the wagon this holiday season. Not only is this episode going to help navigate you through the next few months, but Jess (of Body Bliss by Jess) is all about navigating you through your food journey, emotionally, physically, spiritually, scientifically, etc. AKA you're gonna need a notebook. Maybe two.
If you remember one of our OG Guests, Hormone Queen + Expert, Candace Burch, is actually the mother of Miss Jessica Suchan. Body Bliss Coaching definitely runs in their fam bam. But Jess had a long and unique story on her road to being a health coach. Because her family was health-oriented from the get-go (we're talking buying almond milk before anyone even knew that existed), it was engraved in her brain being active and eating well. It wasn't until high school when she quit sports and continued to eat the junk food she had been consuming for years, that she started going down an unhealthy path with food. In order to loose weight, she restricted herself, binging on the weekends, saving up to buy "the ab belt", and weight loss pills. When Jess got to college, everything just escalated.
Her story continues with ...
- Jess's first job out of college as a nutrition coach for an extremely restricting weight loss company, while she was still dealing with her own demons
- LOSING + GAINING 40 POUNDS several different times
- being surrounded by a family that was 100% dedicated to a restricting diet
- how RESENTMENT was a key part of her battle with food
- the word "DIET" versus "LIFESTYLE"
- moving to LA with a "Devil Wears Prada" boss, triggering her former habits, feeling sick and exhausted all of the time
- how her stressful + unhealthy lifestyle in LA caused constant migraines + how a program for ending migraines saved her life
- her 3AM OPIPHANY for becoming a HEALTH COACH + quitting her crazy media job
- "90% of diets fail" - because it's a "quick fix"
- how EVERYTHING - food, relationships, home life, jobs, self-care - is a piece of the puzzle to create a healthy life
- "SUGAR COATING YOUR LIFE" - the biological addicting power of sugar
- what happens when you DON'T eat sugar?
- THE COMPARISON GAME - it's twisted, it's nasty, and it's not okay

Long story short, Heather and Timmi have been friends for nearly 45 years, living lives of adventure, spirituality, and self-exploration and healing. While Heather was the queen of holistic energy experiments in her home in Manhattan beach for many years, Timmi worked in the garment industry for just as long. And with that combination, Energy Muse was born - celebrating the use of crystals for living your best, most magical life!
Back to the show though, for those of you who don't know anything about crystals and need that CRYSTALS 101 lesson, this episode is for you. We start off with a CRYSTAL STONE READING (oooo la fricken la), to reveal what's going on in our lives and find more clarity. And from there we explore ...

- what it was like writing their new book "Crystal Muse" - and how therapeutic and hard the process was
- showing up for yourself for 11 minutes a day, a ritual, a practice, anything, and if you can't do that, how can you commit to anything else
- “Do something consistently for yourself for 11 days, or even 40 days, for 11 minutes a day, you’re going to learn more about yourself in that time frame than you can in years of therapy.”
- Timmi + Heather on how crystals and self-energy work is more than about just you, but it's about being a COLLECTIVE WORLD
- the power of that recent ECLIPSE in August and what's happened to the Earth since then
- and LINDSEY'S ACCURATE and MOVING READING from Heather - it's going to BLOW YOUR MIND

Ep. 75 - Modern Mystic + Sexuality Goddess Alexandra Roxo on Unleashing Your Inner Shaman and Changing the Female Narrative
With everything going on in the world, good & bad, it's about time we have another MYSTICAL MAMA on the show to work with our energy. The fiery and foxy ALEXANDRA ROXO (side note: what a fabulous name) is one of LA's best ENERGY and TRANSFORMATIONAL workers, seeking all things mystical and magic. She's also an actress and director, working with names like Spike Jonze, Clive Owen, and Steven Soderbergh. Needless to say, she's a bundle of creative light that we all need right here, right now (Not to mention, she's speaking at our Sex, Love, & Other Things event).
With a Catholic father from a Brazil and a New Age-y mother from Georgia, Alexandra began immersing herself in a spiritual lifestyle from the early age of 12. From angels, spirits, ghosts, and auras, she was constantly surrounded by religion and the curiosity of other-worldlyness, with the help of her guide Bobby. When she got to college at New York University, she took it to the next level and dived into studying meditation in Italy, living a healthy lifestyle, and studying Eastern Religion Traditions. However, when she discovered Moon Rituals from one of her professors at NYU, she realized that kind of feminism was missing from all of the other practices. And she found her calling as a healer and energy worker.
From there, we went into ...
- PLANT MEDICINE - in particular, AYAHUASCA - what is it? why should you use? what does it do? where do people use it in the world? what is it like?
- how Ayahuasca HELPED Alexandra FORGIVE HERSELF, about everything from body image, doing good, and letting go of guilt and shame
- "Hey girl you either do good stuff on this planet, like everything you say has to be for the good of all, or don't say a word." - Alexandra on what she realized during her use of Ayahuasca
- "All of that is useful to heal and to work through things that are causing barriers between you and your best self. It's not just for play but if you really want to break through to the other side, it's self-awareness, self-consciousness issues, body image issues, issues with your parents, all of those things can really help you." - Alexandra on practicing plant medicine
- we touch on ALIENS and fairies too (hehe)
- her WRITING about sex, medicine, wellness, and spirituality on The Numinous, Mind Body Green, and Horoscope.com
- her badass, raw, and real MENTORSHIP PROGRAM - intuitively bringing women into their emotional bodies and connecting with every part of your body
- MOON CLUB - her group mentorship program based on the Moon's Rituals, making yourself your own healer, and sharing stories in a safe/open community
- how to find a SPACE OF SURRENDER (not involving tequila)
- "One thing is that a lot of spiritual practices are actually masculine-centric in the sense that they come from a place of structure and rigidity. Our whole lives are so structured, I mean we have fricken Google Calendar and all of this stuff going on all day. What I find missing from women's lives is a space of surrender." - Alexandra on surrendering
- the difference between being SLUTTY and SEXUALITY
- how WOMEN TRIGGER EACH OTHER - especially with men and beauty
- THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HEAL/EMPOWER YOURSELF!

This week we are joined by Isabelle Pasquelone, born and raised in Atlanta, she's a singer, body positivity activist, and former American Idol contestant. Growing up, she was the "singer chick", who was always, always, always singing, starting voice lessons at 7 years old.

- HOPES and EXPECTATIONS on making it + her career during American Idol
- the deep knowing of the outcomes of your experiences + opportunities
- time on BROADWAY - and the up's and down's of that life
- move to LOS ANGELES, like many of our amazing guests
- new song UNLABELED, the music video, + how it stemmed from being told she was "too big" to be a singer or to be in Hollywood
- real issues behind being a BODY POSITIVITY ACTIVIST - like Isabelle and Danika Brysha
- solutions and optimism for building body positivity, whether you're bigger, smaller, older, younger, and anything in between
- ability to FEED HER CREATIVITY

Ep. 70 - Redefining Comedy + Owning his Thirties One Embarrassing Story at a Time with Funny Guy Billy Griffin
Pulling again from our hat of comedians our listeners know and love, we bring on the one, the only, BILLY GRIFFIN. And boy, will you sh*t your pants from laughing so hard, and within in the first minutes no less. We're keepin' things light and a lil cray cray with Billy, a Los Angeles-based comedian, actor, and host, who's been on America's Funniest Home Videos, performs local stand-up, and with the infamous Second City Improv Program in Chicago.
Right away we dive into only the most random of everyday thoughts, like "How am I going to pay for my kid's college tuition?", "How did my parents even afford that?", or "Was my father shitting himself in a closet somewhere when he realized how much it cost?" Or if that isn't hitting home for you, Billy opens up about how he went from college football star, moving to Chicago and working shitty recruiting and insurance jobs, and then moving back home. But coincidentally, he won enough money on a game show to move out to Los Angeles and finally pursue comedy. Basically, this is where his comedic journey begins and he explains everything from ...
- pumping up his crowds
- getting pre-show jitters no matter how charismatic you are
- his very first gig
- all of his comedian friends and their equally funny encounters
- what it means to be a "Warm Up Guy" for show audiences
- how dating in LA is like having a JOB - you have to be proactive
- the fear of grabbing coffee with someone you don't know that well ...
- dating PET PEEVES
- the best questions to start dating app convos with

This week we bring on one of our long-time idols and guru for all things motivational, CHRISTINE HASSLER. Basically, she's a personal transformation genius - along with a bestselling author, podcast host, TV show host on TLC, & keynote speaker. She's a go-to mind for seeking clarity in any part of life, whether it's love, relationships, careers, personal goals, and most importantly, the immense change that happens in your 20's and 30's.
By the time she was 25, she was the youngest agent in Hollywood, getting promoted, attending all of the award shows, making more money than most people her age, and dating a hot-shot producer. She had it all ... but did she? That's what we dive into. This realization that she wasn't truly doing things for herself sparked her big transition, which included quitting her job, going in debt, and losing the love her life by the time she was 26. So needless to say, things were changing and she decided to do something about it. MAJOR KEYWORDS here, people: beliefs, decisions, change, identity ... And not to mention, all of these GOLDEN goodies from Christine:
- in your 20's you think every decision is a forever decision
- living for society or living for yourself
- being a victim or a creator in any difficult situations
- the idea that things need to fall apart to be rebuilt
- how everyone deals with their emotions/insecurities/fears, ie. behavior, mannerisms, actions, mentality, etc.
- as children we don't have control over what happens to us, but when you're an adult, it's UP TO YOU, which can be scary
- "reacting to the programming" - how did you grow up, what were you told, what does it mean & how does it effect our own personal decisions?
- what do you BELIEVE about life that makes IT HARDER?
- ANXIETY coming from beliefs that don't serve us
- we spend more time avoiding rejecting instead of doing what we want

As a child model, she became aware of her body at a very young age. Kimberly shares what it was like dieting alongside her mom to prepare for a beauty pageant, how her obsession with being perfect stemmed from her father's hoarding, and how the exhaustion with ALL of this eventually inspired her to examine the connection between her upbringing and her relationship with her body. We unwrap:
- How being honest about your broken parts opens up a healing conversation
- Her first book "Coming Clean", a memoir about her upbringing in a hoarder's household
- Why she owes her entire career to her poor relationship with her body

FAM, we have all had negative self talk at one time or another. A thought that buries itself so deep in our subconscious that it creates this alternate reality where we are not good enough. Well we hope this episode assures you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. What you are feeling or have felt, someone else has felt that too. Kimberly is so honest and candid, we can't wait for you to connect with her. Take a deep breath of gratitude for that body of yours. IT IS AH-MAZING. Happy listening, babies!

Ep. 65 - Super Model + Bad B Kari Calhoun on How to be Your Authentic Self and Change Industry Standards
Oh, this episode is just a couple of models just having a discussion about models doing model things. JUST KIDDING. But, what a discussion that would be ... On the real tho, Krista and Linds sat down this week with a #reallifemodel KARI CALHOUN, one of the most popular names in America's Next Top Model history (Season 21, what uppppp!). And we get to all the details, from start to finish on her model journey.
We talk about her story, moving from Dallas to Iowa to Los Angeles, and why she fell in love with the city full of so many opportunities. (She literally hopped off the plane at LAX) Although at first she never took her modeling career seriously, she got signed to a boutique agency and started going to auditions, which were as intense as people say they are. There was a long period where Kari's lack of confidence was showing through the camera & kept her asking "Why am I not getting it?" or "What am I doing wrong?" So how did she get her groove back? Soul searching, not giving a f*ck, letting go, taking everything step-by-step, & realizing the auditions that best fit HER.
Kari also lays down the law when it comes to #INSTAMODELS & why they shouldn't be honored or idolized. "What goes viral about you should be your character and how you live your life, " she explains. MIC FRICKEN DROP. And in addition, she touches on how gratitude can get lost during the hustle. SUCH A GOOD POINT!
But we all know you want to hear about Kari's ANTM career started, which by the way, was when Kari was holding a plank at the gym while a casting director approached her! From the drama to the producers egging things on, Kari TELLS ALL & she learned more than she could have imagined from it. But you'll have to hear for yourself now on #iTunes!

Ep. 63 - How Sakara Life Founders Made Their Mess Their Mission + Managing Your Microbiome
Okay ladies + gents ... this episode is a BIG ONE. Not only do we have one but TWO guests, Danielle and Whitney of Sakara Life. They've known each other since they were twelve in Arizona, and moved to the Big Apple for their dreams of modeling and working on Wall Street. But as time passed, their struggles grew along with their go-go-go kind of lifestyle. Things basically got CRAY ... fast. Everything started to add up, from going-out, getting acne, drinking, eating out all of the time, working 80 hours/week, and not taking the time to take care of themselves. And this is how their new new lifestyle started.
They both had a lot of healing and needed to remind each other food is medicine. So from there they started being their own guinea pigs, and cooking their own meals and creating their own recipes. Eventually, they knew they were on to something, and they started delivering meals on their bikes around NYC to their clients.
In terms of the food science aspects of living the Sakara Life, here are some vital topics we touched on:
- micro biome = bacteria living in your gut
- 95% of serotonin is made in the gut
- eating the right food helps that good bacteria thrive, and visa versa
- adding greens is KEY to every meal - smoothies, sandwiches, soups, etc.
- eat well and don't stress about it because studies show that stress/anxiety leads to aging faster
- science points to plants as the key to anti-aging
- eating a VARIETY of plants is important because it builds the different types of amino acids your body needs
- studies also show that your personality is more present when eating healthy
It's all about living a life of clarity, freedom, health, and nourishment. We hope you learn more than you can imagine from this episode!

Ep. 60 - Finding Your Identity + Peace Through Life's Darkest Times with Meditation Guru, Biet Simkin
BIET SIMKIN is probably the most interesting person in the world ... seriously, your mind is about to be BLOWN. The sh*t that she's been through and the person who she has become because of that is BEYOND all of our dreams of determination and strength. So Krista + Lindsey are peeling back the layers of the goddess Biet Simkin ...
For those of you who don't know who Miss Simkin is, she New York native, first-generation American and a leader in the world of meditation. Not only was her father a philosophical shaman and gave her the Book of the Dead at age nine, Biet was singer and fashion fiend who spent a big part of her life living the life of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. And not the glamorous, Hollywood kind.
After struggling with a drug and alcohol addiction, mourning her father's death, as well as her child's passing, Biet talks about her Ah-Ha moment of sobering up and changing her life for good. She knew it was time to find the person she was meant to be, which is what this episode is all about.
The journey to find your identity is hard for everyone, and Biet has developed a meditation technique not only to help you find it but to help you be the best person you can be. Her technique is like "watching a documentary on yourself" and observing your every move AKA "Divided Attention Mediation".
Another amazing point Biet stress' is how we are more than just our body and our minds. Everything from hallucinations, serendipity, and voices - those all mean more than we know. And Biet talks about how listening to these transcendental messages LITERALLY saved her LIFE and how her practice develops this kind of acknowledgment. It's a spirituality POW WOW worth taking a listen to #Almost30Nation!

Ever heard of the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui?! It's not some crazy interior design technique people have used for centuries. It's a way of cleaning your space AND your life!

Because it's about time we all learned about how bomb feng shui is ...

- She also breaks down the stereotypes of feng shui, everything from how strict it is and what are the rules.

Ep. 51 - Forgiving Our 20s Us + The Art of Forgiving In Your 30s
COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM PALM SPRINGS!
Krista & Linds are soaking up the rays and hanging by the pool in sunny Southern California. This week, they bring back a #almost30nation fan favorite, 20s + 30s US!
*Que expensive "20s US VS 30s US" theme song*
They're talking MAJOR throwbacks like matching your eyeshadow and makeup with your outfits, Lisa Frank, Lindsey's old obsession with all of the #crimping techniques and experiments, and how opposite their beauty routines are today.
HOWEVER, the main topic Krista & Linds are discussing this week is FORGIVENESS. Everything forgiveness, the who, what, when, where, why, and how. They get DEEP during this conversation, especially with:
- cheating and romantic relationships
- friends and reciprocation
- if people can/will change
- the power and struggle of letting go
- usually when you're wrong in the situation, you hold on to it more than anyone
- family, family, family
- not understanding other's beliefs or values, ie. religion/spirituality
- people don't want to hear about those people you can't forgive
- not forgiving others can ruin your other relationships
- And most importantly, YOURSELF

Ep. 50 - Curve Model + CEO of Model Meals Danika Brysha On Her Battle With Food, and How It Transformed Her Life
Once again, Linds and Krista bring on the best of the health, wellness, and body positivity industries. This week's guest is DANIKA BRYSHA, a curve model with IMG Models, the CEO of Model Meals, a leader in the health and wellness world, and an inspirational rockstar for everyone. Danika has been featured in InStyle, Shape, PopSugar, People, and many more publications. Her story has inspired thousands of women who are struggling with loving their body, their relationship with food and addiction, and transforming their lives.
Danika shares her story, which starts at a young age, battling drug usage, fad chronic dieting, and being "the chubby girl", using her food to process her emotions. But that didn't stop her from being one of the busiest, most successful curve models in the world, after being discovered in a Bank of America. Needless to say, she took her insecurities and built a life for herself off of them.
Some of the most useful food/body tips you'll ever hear from this episode are:
- drop the FOOD RULES
- the answer to losing weight is "NOT trying to lose weight"
- it's never about the food, it's about YOU (your childhood, you mentality about yourself growing up, specific circumstances you were under)
- don't waste your energy on worrying about food, worry about YOUR DREAMS
- it's about how you FEEL after you eat food
- how much the MEDIA REALLY INFLUENCES the way you think about yourself

Ep. 49 - How Crystals, Cards, + Shamans Save Lives: Colleen McCaan Shares Her Psychic Gift
Pick a card, any card ... because on this week's episode we are joined by shamanic energy medicine practitioner, the official shaman for VOGUE Magazine, and founder of STYLE RITUALS, COLLEEN MCCANN.
If you're into crystals, tarot readings, spirituality, intuition, spirits, ghosts, EVERYTHING MAGIC, this episode is for YOU.
So for those of you who are new to the tarot card and crystal thing thing, it's basically a visual narrative of your past life, your current life, and your future life, as well as the emotions you are currently dealing with. Krista got a past life card, and she's pretty sure she's dealing with some karmic debt, while Lindsey got a Five of Cups card, meaning she's got plenty o' abundance.
On the other hand, shamans are conduits to things people can't see in the unseen world, and provide messages and healing to those who need it. Shamans can realize they have their gifts at any age, and Miss McCann realized her's in her late twenties. From hearing voices constantly, having premonition dreams, seeing ghosts, and having other healers tell her she had a gift, Colleen knew she had to listen to the voices and put her 15 plus year in the fashion industry to an end.
Although Krista, Linds, and Colleen go over a plethora of spirituality- related topics in this episode, the main takeaway is the importance of dabbling in various practices before you find the one you like. Or the one that "speaks" to you.

Ep. 48 - Lori Harder On Owning Your Story, Loving Your Body, & Cultivating Your Tribe
CALLING ALL WOMEN WHO FEEL THAT THEY ARE DESTINED FOR GREATNESS. Seriously, don't look around. That's YOU. Hi! You don't have to apologize for feeling that innate fire and pull toward something bigger. Give this episode your full attention--you'll be given permission to take ownership of your dreams. This week the girls are so excited to be sharing their interview with LORI HARDER. Lori is the host of the Earn Your Happy Podcast, founder of The Bliss Project, author, cover model, three-time fitness world champion, a "self-love junkie", and a woman at the forefront of the "women supporting women" movement. Her path to success has been a beautiful zigzag of highs and lows, revelations and resistance, self-love and overflowing generosity. As Janet Jackson says, "WE GO DEEP"...(love you Janet). Here's what we discuss:
- How to receive what you need when swimming through the sea of self love books, guru's, programs, video's, practices, etc.
- Who was early 20's Lori and what did she learn in order to stand in her light and success now
- When she left home at 18 to essentially break the rules of her religious upbringing to eventually experience the wake-up calls needed to find the freedom and inspiration to follow the call of her soul to do big things
- How fitness saved her life
- Why she was the most sad and lonely at the height of her fitness competition career
- How paying it forward can shift your mindset
- Why the body doesn't change if the mind doesn't change
- Her commitment to being a forever student
- How to effectively set and achieve your goals
- How writing her book is forcing her to sit with her story and unwrap and reflect on everything and everyone that have brought her to this point

Ep. 47 - Aligning Who You Are With Who You Were Made To Be: Human Design with Jenna Zoe
This week's episode is based off of 2 words: HUMAN DESIGN.
No, it's not an anatomy class or a biology lesson. It's all about YOU. Your body, your mind, but most importantly, your AURA and ASTROLOGICAL MAKE-UP.
Okay, still confused? Krista and Lindsey each receive a human design reading from an expert and spiritual goddess, JENNA ZOE. She spends this episode showing off her craft by helping the ladies make life decisions, control their minds, and get in touch with their bodies.
Human Design uses your birth time and place to calculate your personal Human Design chart. In this calculation, the positions of Sun, Moon, and planets at the time of your birth play an important role. Astrology also uses the birth time and place to generate your natal chart, but it interprets the data differently – and Human Design is not astrology. Time to get ANTHROPOMORPHIC (In the words of our lovely guest)!
Human Design calculates two moments in time. Our birth, which determines our conscious definition and a moment approximately 88 days before our birth (exactly 88 degrees of the sun before the moment of our birth), which determines our unconscious definition. The second; the pre-natal calculation is unique and crucial part of the Human Design revelation.
Miss Jenna Zoe also breaks down the 4 TYPES OF HUMAN BEINGS
- manifestos
- generators
- projectors
- reflectors
Definitely a note-taking episode, but an insightful one at that!

All four of the girls are dedicated to creating a culture where women welcome women and support one another. As Annie says, she's created a "sisterhood" vibe. LOVE THAT. But the girls talk honestly about how their relationships with other women haven't always been so AMAZING. *AHEM* #HIGHSCHOOL. This is such a good one. They unwrap some GOLD, like:
- How to create a culture where women support women
- What it actually looks like for women to support other women
- When each of the girls realized the power of their relationships with other women
- How challenges with other women earlier in their lives inspired and moved them to change their perspective and want to make social shifts
- How they stay their authentic selves in business and in relationships with women
YO, GIRLS. We run this mutha.

YOU GUYS, Steve, our angel baby sound technician, is our special guest this week (and his RAD tunes close out the episode). How the heck do you make new friends as an adult?

Plus, Steve shares his beautifully weird way of attracting new friends, Krista recounts her session with a hypnotherapist that helped her understand the role her energy plays in attracting new people into her life, and Lindsey shares her experience meeting friends on the DM (hehe).

The girls are joined this week by their friend Danika Miller, who like them, is a creative living in LA. They candidly discuss their individual relationships with LA, why this city fills them up one day and can leave them feeling bleak AF in the inspiration department another day. Why is that?

Wait, hold up, we have hunger hormones that can be TURNED OFF?! Literally, the girls have been Fab Four-ing it since they recorded and have both felt the shift in their cravings and energy. Krista and Lindsey are also curious about juicing. What's the deal? Why do people want to run over squirrels and tend to snap at their colleagues while juicing? Spoiler alert: Kelly hates juice cleanses. She tells you why.
The girls dial it back and find out what lead Kelly to build her successful wellness brand. How long was she moonlighting her business while working in cancer and genetics before she took the leap to focus on Be Well by Kelly full time? Where did she find inspiration and support? Why she is obsessed with education...and so much more. To be honest, you may want to listen to this one a few times through to fully digest this yummy interview. Bad joke, amazing episode. LOVE YA. P.S. Kelly's new book "Body Love" is out this June!!

Ep. 28 - Bad Boyz 4 Life? What We Deserve In Relationships + Sexy Lice Vibes
This weeks' podcast is back with the classic format, both Krista and Lindsey are together this week to chat about their youth, and what it REALLY means to be an awkward kid. Like, no teeth, and LICE vibes. Sexy, right?
Starting out we talk about what to do when you're not feeling 'hundred'. Forcing or fronting a feeling isn't needed. When the holiday season is in full swing, tensions are high and it's challenging to stay grounded. There is a tendency to over commit, and overworked. When you're working all year and losing inspiration, as a creative, it's challenging to find that spark and that excitement and bring it everyday. The girls talk strategies to stay motivated, grounded and inspired. No matter what field you're in, staying 'inspired' means staying in the game of life.
Our question this week comes from a listener who is writing in about a mysterious object found in...um....her lady parts. After that initial shock they run through the real question, about expectations, and what each one of us 'deserves' in relationships.
It's another buffet of hilarious stories, and relevant insights from The Almost 30 crew. Thanks for subscribing, rating and reviewing! We love you!

Ep. 18 - Cleav, Slutty Costumes, Drunk Cooking, + The Call to Manifest
Cleavage, man. Too much is always enough. And not enough, always has intention. In the candid opening of this weeks Almost 30, Krista and Lindsey reflect on their cleavage practices back in the day and how it serves them now.
It's been way too long since the girls have shared their "20's Us, 30's Us". Halloween gave Krista some serious inspiration. Hey ladies, still have that 'slutty inmate' costume in a plastic bin under your bed just in case? Fella's, admit it, how confused/disturbed were you by girls' attempts at 'sexy grandma'. Krista reflects on Halloween past and present. The two are alarmingly/thankfully very different. Lindsey remembers her late night eating habits in her early 20's...Turkey and Eggo Waffles anyone? She talks about her current commitment to a more mindful relationship with food.
This week the girls call a listener from Utah! UTAH! Ali's question about the law of attraction develops into a full blown discussion about manifestation, cultivating your tribe, and how you are the average of the five people you spend most of your time with.

Ep. 17 - Interview with the Ladies of 'Le Sweat', Charlee Atkins & Meridith Miller
We'd like to interrupt this week's show notes with a quick disclaimer regarding the first 8 minutes of this episode: The sound is gently distorted by the sweet aliens that were helping to connect Le sweat in NYC to Almost 30 in LA. Feel free to skip over the part where Lindsey messaged some guy on Instagram because he had beautiful succulents. THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL, OKAY!? Around, the 8 minute mark, all is right in the world.
This week Almost 30 welcomes the ladies behind Le Sweat, a fresh online publication that shakes up the idea of 'working out'. Charlee Atkins, an uber popular SoulCycle Instructor and fitness model, and Meridith Miller, a lady boss of partnerships at Twitter, are exploring their own idea of "working on working out". The physical sweat is just the beginning. The ladies talk 'inner-cising', being alone (not lonely), social media, knowing thyself after the end of a long-term relationship, why everyone should take a friend-moon, their popular articles filed under "Stroke His Ego", and how Charlee and Meredith are already OWNING their 30's. This one is candid and inspiring. After you listen, check out www.le-sweat.com!

Ep. 16 - How to Deal with Rejection *Minisode*
The girls have a very candid conversation about rejection. Krista shares what it was like auditioning for SoulCycle, what she learned, how she was redirected, and how it helped to pave the path to her successful blog. Lindsey shares how putting herself in front of rejection more often (auditions, auditions, auditions) creates a healthy non-attachment to the outcome so that her pursuit is always exciting. They discuss the "something greater" that is at work, the challenge to trust it, and what happens when our preparation meets it. If you are experiencing rejection in your career, romantic relationships, family life, in the pursuit of your dreams, internally between you and you....YOU WILL RELATE.

Ep. 15 - Tinder, Ghosting, Trump, & Twitter Trolls
The topic table is a BUFFET this week. Krista and Lindsey share their "Hundred, NOT Hundred's". Lindsey got a haircut, so tell ya friends. But on a note that is so typical/weird us: Who would have thought that finding out what your moon sign is would open up a whole new world of understanding? Like, "OH WOW I become two different people when someone calls me on my sh*t" becomes less psycho and more acceptable when you are able to lean on your astrological moon sign. The girls also celebrate and talk about the importance of cultivating a tribe of people that support and lift you up, that give you permission to be vulnerable and open, and that acknowledge your vision and give it light. Their NOT HUNDRED's are pretty darn relevant . Let's just say they talk the circus that is the 2016 election, as well as the moment your "EX" finds a new gf/bf. *GASP*
FINALLY. GHOSTING. What the heck is that? What qualifies as "ghosting"? Have we done it? Have we been ghosted? What is acceptable? How does one prevent the ghost? We get a call from a listener. She has just experienced a pretty gnarly case of ghostage. Sound guy, Steve, was apparently just ghosted last week. We come together as a fam and figure out what the EFF is going on here.

"Daniela Kende is a board certified Holisitic Health Coach who supports busy professionals who want to lose weight, reveal more radiant skin, and find abundant energy to create the life they've always imagined." Are you raising your hand and screaming "ME, ME, ME, ME, ME!!"? The girls nearly fell off of their swivel chairs because they were nodding so hard during this interview. Daniela believes in peeling back the layers, digging deeper to reveal the real intention behind superficial 'wants'. Want to lose 20 lbs? Why? What would that mean for you? She talks about actually allowing ourselves to think about what we would IDEALLY feel like each day. We need permission for that? YUP. The girls share their dreams and goals and how aligning with your intention will increase the drive towards that goal.
How does creating a rule, like "I'm not a morning person", sell yourself short? Daniela and the girls discuss the limitations and how releasing the rule could change your life. What are your limiting beliefs...could they be the one thing holding you back from reaching your full potential?
Grab a pen and paper because Daniela also drops extremely useful tips on skin care, diet, balancing hormones, protein powders, and sugar. DANIELA KENDE is about to change the way to LIVE.

Ep. 10 - Let's Get Personal
In this episode of Almost 30, Lindsey and Krista interview each other. You'd think they know everything about one another, but the coolest part of friendship is finding out new sh*t about the other person every time you are together. You know!? The girls dig deep and get curious. Lindsey explains how attending an all-girls, private, Catholic school shaped who she is today, Krista gives us her vision of where she will be in ten years, and SO much more. It's still the beginning here at Almost 30, so the girls thought it was important you get to know them a little better.

Ep. 7 - Marriage FOMO
Whether you're a guy or a girl, you've felt it. THE PRESSURE. Some girls equate happiness with marriage and kids. At a certain age the thirst is REAL and pretty overwhelming for both parties involved. Krista and Lindsey connect with a male listener, who wonders why that is and what makes other girls refuse to settle down. His insight is ON POINT, and together, the three get personal and get to the bottom of the issue.
BUT FIRST, the girls share their weekly "Hundred, NOT Hundred's" and "20's Us, 30's Us". Have you ever asked for a beautiful tech-nerd baby angel from heaven...and gotten one?

Ep. 5 - Destuffing Bras + Stuffing Faces
In Episode 5 of Almost 30, Lindsey and Krista begin by celebrating no longer stuffing their bra's and recounting a meet-up with a high school crush 12 years later. They highly suggest the latter. In one of their favorite segments, "20's Us, 30's Us", the girls lay it all out there--from chronic car accidents to over-giving, to their slowing metabolism to wanting to know more about their finances. Knowledge is power, right?! Their question of the week comes from "Courtney", As Courtney approaches 30, she finds herself getting in deep when it comes to relationships--moving in together, purchasing pets, and cooking for one another. Sounds successfully adult. But what happens when it doesn't work out? Could be an UGLY mess.

Man, it feels good to grow. In one of their favorite segments, the girls share what stuck with them this week. Ya know those people who urk you? Those energy vampires? Yeah, they are there to TEACH YOU A LESSON. BA-LIEVE DAT. And they discover how getting quiet could be the key to receiving the loudest messages.
The question of the week comes from our listener "Lauren" who is dealing with a "friend with benefits" who is acting like a gosh darn BOYFRIEND. POOR THANG, right? Well, he doesn't want to be her boyfriend. SAY WHAT? We're confused. So is she. We discuss.

Ep. 3 - Jen Glantz, "Bridesmaid for Hire"
The best interviews should make you cry happy tears, right?
Our first interview to share with you, is with the amazing, lovely and talented Jen Glantz.
A lady who made her name by posting an ad on Craigslist to be a professional bridesmaid.
Yes, you heard it right.
A sneak into her story:
"I DID WHAT ANY POETRY MAJOR WOULD PROBABLY DO WHEN THEY WANT TO START A BUSINESS, I TURNED TO CRAIGSLIST.
I WROTE AN AD OFFERING MY SERVICES TO STRANGERS AS THEIR BRIDESMAID FOR HIRE, SHUT DOWN MY COMPUTER SCREEN, DIDN'T TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS, AND WENT TO SLEEP.
TWO DAYS LATER, THE AD WENT VIRAL, MY INBOX WAS FILLED WITH EMAILS FROM BRIDES-TO-BE, AND MY HEART WAS BEATING TOWARD A GIGANTIC OPPORTUNITY I CREATED ALMOST BY PURE ACCIDENT."
IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK WEDDINGS, DATING, STARTING A BUSINESS AND LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE.
Listen and let us know your thoughts! We'd love to hear what you think about some of the truth bombs that Jen drops on us during this one.

Ep. 1 - Welcome to Almost 30!
The very first episode of The Almost 30 Podcast gets right into it.
Our first segment, '20's Us, 30's Us' is a hilarious, real and raw look back into what the F we were doing in our twenties (like TANNING BEDS - what?)
Then we go into the deepness of: 'Keep and Let Go'.
Which is a discussion around what serves us at the moment, and the shiz we can seriously just let go!
#boybye
Our question of the week (we'll answer one each week!) just happens to be on NUDES.
