In this profoundly personal solo episode, Krista talks openly and honestly about her miscarriage and reveals just how painful, messy, and traumatic the experience was. She describes how her initial disbelief at discovering she was pregnant quickly turned to excitement as she embraced the prospect of motherhood. However, she also speaks of her shock and distress when the doctor at her first check-up abruptly informed her that he couldn't find a heartbeat. Confused about what was happening inside her body and facing an agonizing wait for results, Krista talks about the moment she realized something was going badly wrong. She recounts her lonely wait to be seen in ER and describes the bleeding, cramps, and projectile vomiting she endured during her miscarriage. Despite everything she's been through, Krista wants her listeners to know she's doing well. She's developed a deep appreciation for the power of the female body, found an incredible new doctor, and is looking forward to becoming pregnant again when the time feels right.

Krista sits for a second time with Gay Hendricks. Gay is a psychologist, author, and public speaker whose latest book, The Genius Zone: The Breakthrough Process to End Negative Thinking and Live in True Creativity, will be published in June. As a lifelong meditator, Gay knows that looking inwards, accepting the full spectrum of our emotions, and getting clear on what makes us happy can help us access our natural creativity. He believes that everyone has a spark of genius inside them: we just need to ask ourselves the right questions to bring it to the surface. Gay encourages listeners to dedicate more time to their creativity and suggests taking the time to sit quietly alone for ten minutes and think about what inspires them and what they most love to do. Although he has appeared on numerous TV shows, including Oprah, Gay thinks of himself as a writer who speaks rather than a speaker who writes. He describes how he likes to dedicate the first few hours of the morning to his writing and reveals how the Covid pandemic has motivated him to move more of his courses and seminars online.Links from Episode:The Hendricks Institute WebsiteThe Big Leap by Gay Hendricks Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Krista interviews the other half of Authentic Audience, her husband, best friend, and business partner, Clay Ripma. This month Krista and Clay are celebrating four years of being in business together, and they talk about the twists and turns their lives have taken along the way. They reveal how losing one of their major clients due to the pandemic forced them to diversify their business and reshape their vision for the future. With encouragement from their mentor, Erin Weed, Clay has decided to pursue his own entrepreneurial opportunities. He is now the co-owner of Vestmap, an app that provides real estate investors with data to make informed decisions about their property investments. Even though his focus has shifted, Clay will still be around to help with the big projects, and in the meantime, Krista is doubling down on all things Authentic Audience. During his rapid-fire questioning round, Clay reveals he likes to daydream about the economy, is scared of bears, and is resistant to the prospect of participating in a Full Moon Share Circle.

Krista interviews Lindsey Simcik and Krista Williams, the hosts of the Almost 30 podcast. Lindsey and Krista are leaders, disruptors, change-makers, and vulnerable human beings who share their learnings and experiences through their podcasts, courses, music, and words. Today, they talk about how they manage to stay true to themselves and keep their community onboard as they change and evolve as people. Lindsey describes how she takes time to integrate her experiences before sharing them so she can speak from a healed and grounded place, and Krista reveals that her priority is not the size of her Instagram following or the success of her brand but the ability to live in harmony with her authentic self. They are both super-grateful for the kindness and support they get from their online community. However, they have learned not to take either the positive or the negative comments they receive too personally, and as influencers, they have resisted the opportunity to speak on topics that are outside of their area of expertise. Lindsey has recently embarked on a solo venture, the Sacredness of Being Single program, and both she and Krista are excited about the opportunity to express themselves individually while still being part of a supportive business.Links from Episode:Almost 30 Podcast: almost30.com/episodesAlmost 30 Instagram: @almost30podcastLindsey's Instagram: @lindseysimcikKrista's Instagram: @itskristaSacredness of Being Single: almost30.com/the-sacredness-of-being-single Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

She is also the co-owner of the artisanal travel bag company, Ethnotek. Krista and Cori were introduced to each other by Emory Hall and, although Cori has been living in Bali since the pandemic began, she has kept in touch with Krista regularly and supported her through her struggles with anxiety. In today's show, Cori opens up about the loneliness of being an entrepreneur and explains how the pandemic has caused additional stress in her personal and professional life. She describes how she has learned to give herself permission to feel emotional and vulnerable and has made an effort to understand and manage her energy. As an empath (and a woman who works with her husband), Cori understands the need to spend some time alone. She also knows how to say no to people and set boundaries that prevent others from making unreasonable demands on her energy and time. To help others benefit from her experience in life and business, Cori has started mentoring startups and holding accountability meet-ups. In her capacity as a mentor, she advises small business owners on how to plan for and handle sustainable growth. Both Cori and Krista advocate for a more balanced approach to business. They understand the importance of leaving space for themselves and taking measures to avoid the burnout and exhaustion that can occur as a result of chronic overwork.

Krista speaks with Krystal Kitahara and Kristine Freeman from Yummi Karma, an all-woman cannabis company based in Orange County, California. Yummi Karma aims to normalize the use of cannabis, and Krystal, the company's founder, describes how its first tincture, Drift Away (a dreamy mixture of magnesium, melatonin, chamomile, lavender, and cannabis), was initially devised to treat her mother's insomnia. Today, Yummi Karma produces a wide range of tinctures and lotions designed to soothe the mind, body, and soul. Krystal is particularly proud of the products it makes for women, and marketing manager Kristine Freeman, explains how its skincare lotions have been designed to look, smell, and feel like they come from a high-end beauty store but contain the added bonus of beneficial cannabinoids. As someone who has used marijuana to self-medicate since she was a teenager, Krista reflects on how the culture (and the law) around cannabis have changed and how microdosing has made it easier and healthier for her to use it to alleviate her anxiety.
