Serena Kerrigan, author of Let's Fucking Date, joins us for a candid conversation about relationships, self-worth, and the mindset shifts that can completely change the way you date. She gets real about going from chasing validation to knowing you are the chooser. From the “three P” theory—potential, practice, or plot—to the two-drink rule, Serena shares how to make dating feel lighter, more fun, and less like a search for “the one.” We unpack red flags, the ick, pacing, standards, and why your time is a valuable resource. We also talk about the difference between true self-worth + self-sabotage, why healthy relationships can mirror the parts of yourself you still need to grow, and how to stop projecting old heartbreak onto someone new.  We also talk about:  Why being single can be such a powerful season of self-worth + personal growth The “Mirror, Mirror” practice + talking to yourself like your own best friend Why we're often attracted to people who reinforce what we believe we deserve The three P's of dating: potential, practice, or plot How to tell the difference between the ick + an actual red flag The two-drink rule, pacing, and protecting your time How high standards can sometimes become limitations The difference between a foundation list + a flex list when dating What healthy love feels like: safety, ease, confidence, and being fully seen Why your friendships can become the blueprint for the relationship you want Resources: Book: https://letsfuckingdate.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/serenakerrigan Sponsors:  Quince | Upgrade your everyday.

In this episode, Maya Ayed, founder of Alya Health, joins us to talk about why some of the most powerful health practices may be much simpler than we've been led to believe. She shares the Tunisian family tradition that changed her relationship with food, her gut, and her health. From olive oil + polyphenols to gut health, blood sugar, hormones, and eating seasonally, Maya breaks down the lessons she brought from Tunisia into her life in the US. She also shares how her own health struggles became the catalyst for leaving tech and building a company around women's health. We also get into entrepreneurship, trusting your path, knowing when to make a career pivot, and why “less is more” might be the wellness philosophy we need right now. This conversation is about personal growth, nourishing your body, and building a life + business with purpose. We also talk about:  Maya's Tunisian roots + the Mediterranean lifestyle How her own bloating, fatigue, and skin issues led her to investigate her gut health The difference between regular olive oil + high-polyphenol olive oil Gut health, inflammation, blood sugar, and metabolic health Why eating seasonally + prioritizing whole foods can change how we nourish ourselves The wellness industry's obsession with supplements, powders, and quick fixes Leaving a career in tech to pursue women's health How Maya built a community before she built her company Why you'll never feel completely ready to make a big career leap Entrepreneurship, resilience, identity, and having fun along the way Resources: Go to https://alyahealth.com/s/almost30 and use code ALMOST30 for 20% off.  Alya Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drinkalya/ Alya TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drinkalya Maya's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mayafromtunisia Maya's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayaayed/ Sponsors:  EllaOla | Go to https://EllaOla.com/ALMOST30 for 20% off your first purchase.

In this episode, Krista + Lindsey explore the idea of the invisible strings connecting our lives. They reflect on the relationships, places, and seemingly random moments that led them exactly where they are—and how much more meaningful life feels when you trust the connections you can't always see. They share their wildest invisible-string stories, from dating + marriage to SoulCycle, Almost 30, friendships, and even moments of loss. They explore why some people enter our lives for a lifetime while others arrive to teach us a lesson, shift our path, or help us become someone new. Plus, they talk about creating more spaciousness in friendships, letting relationships ebb + flow without forcing them, and trusting the path when the dots don't connect yet. This episode is a reminder that you may not understand where life is taking you—but you can trust that the pieces will make sense when you look back. We also talk about:  The invisible string theory + the idea that nothing is truly random How Krista + Lindsey's own strings led them to each other Soulmates, karmic relationships, and soul connections Why some people are brought into our lives for lessons The strange connections between dating, friendship, and career How rejection can redirect you toward a more creative chapter Letting friendships have more space without assuming the connection is gone Trusting your intuition when the path ahead doesn't make sense Why you can't always connect the dots until you look backward Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itskrista/ Website: https://itskrista.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors:  Larineco | Get 50% off at https://buylarine.com/ALMOST30.

Lindsey is back with part two of her postpartum catch-up, getting honest about personal growth, relationships, and identity after becoming a mom of two. She shares what this season has taught her about asking for help, letting go of comparison, and giving herself permission to do motherhood her own way. She opens up about marriage, couples therapy, communication, and the reality of doing the relationship work while raising two kids. She also talks about how her priorities have shifted, what she's temporarily letting go of, and why she's learning to trust the timing of her creativity + career. Most of all, Lindsey reflects on the identity shift that comes with a major life transition—and why uncertainty doesn't have to mean confusion. This is a reminder to give yourself grace, stay present, and trust that the next version of you is allowed to look different. We also talk about:  Building a childcare + support system that actually works for you Why you shouldn't compare your motherhood to anyone else's Marriage, couples therapy, and staying connected through big life changes Why communication gets harder when you're overwhelmed The identity shift that comes with becoming a mom of two Letting go of perfection, productivity, and pressure Putting creativity + career on the back burner without abandoning them Trusting the ebb + flow of priorities, relationships, and self-care Entering a new decade with more uncertainty, curiosity, and trust Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Shop on eufy.com:https://eufyofficial.com/eufy_Baby_BFM_Campaign_Almost30_0_197307 Shop on Amazon:https://shop.eufy.com/eufy_Baby_BFM_Campaign_233172 Discount code: AM30EUFY for an extra 15% off.

Dr. Shefali, bestselling author + expert in conscious parenting, joins us for an honest conversation about raising emotionally resilient children in a world that is increasingly disconnected. She shares why parents must stop trying to perfect themselves—and start showing up fully as they are. We talk about the hidden ways anxiety, achievement, social media, and performance-based parenting shape our kids, and why true connection starts with our own nervous system.

Haley Hoffman Smith, manifestation teacher + EFT tapping practitioner, joins us to talk about mindset, personal growth, and the courage to pursue the dreams that won't leave you alone. She shares how she stopped playing it safe + became the woman she knew she could be. From music to money, identity, and faith, Haley breaks down the beliefs that can keep us stuck—and how EFT tapping, subconscious rewiring, and the law of assumption helped her change what she believed was possible.  She also gets real about surrendering control, trusting God's timing, and letting go of the need to know exactly how your dreams will happen.

We also talk about:  How Haley found her way back to music after years of suppressing that dream Why rejection can create subconscious beliefs that follow us for years How EFT tapping can help change your relationship to painful memories The power of “mind movies” for creating new emotional evidence Why manifestation is less about forcing an outcome + more about embodying a new identity Haley's journey from motivational speaker to creator, musician, and spiritual teacher What it means to trust God when the opportunity you want doesn't work out Why she believes it's safe to hope again after disappointment The spiritual practices she returns to, including EFT tapping, prayer, and reading the Bible Letting yourself evolve instead of feeling like you need to have all the answers Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/haleyhoffmansmith/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@haleyhoffmansmith Website: https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/ Order her book + journal: https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/book/ Join Dreamaway: https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/dreamaway/ Listen to her podcast Big Conversations: https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/podcast/ Listen to her music: https://haleyhoffmansmithmusic.com/ Sponsors:  BetterHelp | Sign up and get 10% off at https://BetterHelp.com/almost30.

Seven weeks postpartum, Lindsey is back with a deeply honest look at going from one child to two—and the emotional well-being, self-awareness, and personal growth that have come with becoming a mom all over again. She shares what no one prepared her for about this transition. From physical recovery and breastfeeding to overwhelm, guilt, identity shifts, and learning to ask for help, Lindsey gets real about what this season has demanded of her. She also opens up about stepping away from Instagram to protect her intuition and make space for her own inner knowing. Then there's motherhood the second time around: watching Mav become a big brother, becoming a daughter-mom, and realizing how much her choices now shape the woman her daughter will grow into. It's messy, beautiful, challenging, and a powerful lesson in letting go of perfection. We also talk about:  What Lindsey's birth experience was like + the subtle signs she noticed beforehand How postpartum recovery compared to her first experience The support, nourishment, rest, and childcare that have helped her recover Why going from one child to two has felt unexpectedly emotional The guilt + self-judgment that can come with splitting your attention between children Rebuilding mindfulness, movement, and a sense of self in early motherhood Why Lindsey deleted Instagram + how it helped her trust her intuition as a mom Mav's adjustment to becoming a big brother + making intentional one-on-one time with him What becoming a mother to a daughter is bringing up around self-worth, boundaries, body image, and how she moves through the world The identity shifts that can happen when your family, body, and priorities change all at once Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors:  Evvy | Go to ⁠https://checkout.evvy.com/discount/ALMOST30⁠ to receive up to $25 off your first purchase.

In this episode, Krista pulls back the curtain on her journey from self-improvement skeptic to life coach, sharing what coaching actually is, why she finally trusted herself enough to become one, and what she's learned about helping women transform. She gets radically honest about the shadow side of coaching, the difference between a coach, therapist, mentor, and consultant, and why doing your own personal growth work is essential before you try to guide someone else. From finding your niche to setting boundaries, building self-worth, and knowing when you're actually ready to coach, Krista answers the questions so many aspiring coaches are afraid to ask—including how to make coaching feel authentic instead of cringey. We also talk about:  How therapy helped Krista become more open to coaching The coach who changed Krista + Lindsey's relationship with themselves + each other What finally made Krista feel ready to become a coach The difference between coaching, therapy, consulting, and mentorship Why your own healing work is part of becoming a great coach How Krista protects her energy, nervous system, and boundaries while coaching What countertransference looks like + why coaches need to watch for it How to know who you are actually meant to serve Why shy, sensitive, or introverted people can make incredible coaches Krista's advice for getting trained, finding clients, building confidence, and charging what your work is worth Resources: Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Sponsors:  EllaOla | Go to https://EllaOla.com/ALMOST30 for 20% off your first purchase.

In this episode, author, activist, and speaker Dr. Najwa Zebian joins us for a deeply honest conversation about relationships, healing, self-worth, and boundaries—especially what happens when a relationship slowly disconnects you from yourself.  We explore why leaving a toxic relationship can feel so impossible, how manipulation can erode your ability to trust your own decisions, and why the first step toward healing may be much smaller than you think.  From rebuilding your identity to learning what healthy attachment actually looks like, this episode is about becoming your own source of clarity again. We get into communication, self-awareness, autonomy, reciprocity, and the difference between being deeply connected to someone + losing yourself inside them. We also talk about: Why “just leave” can be the worst advice for someone in a toxic relationship How toxic dynamics can take away your ability to trust your own decisions Rebuilding your sense of self through small, everyday choices Why staying in a painful relationship does not make the pain your fault How to forgive yourself for staying longer than you wanted to The difference between taking responsibility for your healing + blaming yourself What healthy relationships actually require: transparency, communication, alignment, and reciprocity How to be securely attached to someone while still remaining fully yourself Why you do not need an apology, closure, or validation from the person who hurt you Najwa's new book, The One Who Broke You Can't Heal You Resources: Book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/722356/the-one-who-broke-you-cant-heal-you-by-najwa-zebian/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/najwazebian/ Website: https://najwazebian.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NajwaZebian TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@najwazebian Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/najwazebian1 Sponsors:  Hero Bread | Hero Bread is offering 10% off your order.

In this solo episode, Lindsey reflects on what years of personal growth have really taught her as she approaches 40—and the lessons from Almost 30 that changed how she sees herself, success, relationships, and her own path. She gets honest about intuition, healing, ambition, and the pressure to constantly become “better,” sharing the mindset shifts that have helped her trust herself more and stop chasing an idea of who she is supposed to be. From learning to listen to her body to realizing there is no finish line, Lindsey explores what happens when you let your life evolve—and start choosing fulfillment, purpose, and inner peace over constantly trying to arrive. We also talk about:  Why your intuition often whispers before your life has to scream The difference between healing yourself + remembering who you already are Breaking free from the self-improvement trap How the quality of your relationships shapes the quality of your life Learning to listen to your body before burnout takes over How Lindsey's definition of ambition has changed Why discernment matters when you consume endless advice Getting comfortable with uncertainty instead of needing all the answers Why most things that feel like emergencies eventually become perspective Letting your dream life evolve into something simpler + more meaningful Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors:  BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

What if something you can't see is affecting how you feel every single day? Philipp von Holtzendorff-Fehling, founder of Leela Quantum Tech, joins us to explore energy, consciousness, and the nervous system—and why he believes modern life may be pulling us further from our natural state. From EMFs + 5G to the energy we absorb from the people + environments around us, Philipp challenges us to question what we've normalized. We dive into coherence, intuition, the biofield, and the possibility that there's a better way to support your body, your energy, and your nervous system. Philipp also shares the experiences that completely changed the trajectory of his life—from corporate executive to energy + consciousness pioneer. If you've ever felt disconnected from yourself, struggled to hear your intuition, or sensed there was something more going on beneath the surface, this episode will make you look at your everyday world differently. We also talk about: Why Philipp believes EMFs may be impacting our bodies + nervous system What happens when we're constantly surrounded by electromagnetic signals The connection between coherence, intuition, and feeling like yourself again How to recognize when an energy, environment, or relationship feels expansive or contracting Philipp's powerful experience at a Buddhist monastery in Thailand The moment he realized he had completely disconnected from his own intuition What the biofield is + why Philipp believes it matters How Leela Quantum Tech came to be + the technology behind it Why Philipp believes we can access more of our consciousness than we realize The idea that your purpose reveals itself when you start moving toward it Resources: Upgrade your energy, harmonize your EMF exposure, and elevate your wellness with Leela Quantum Tech's science-backed quantum technology and get 10% off at leelaq.com when you use code ALMOST30 at checkout. https://www.instagram.com/philipp_vhf/ https://www.instagram.com/leelaquantum/ https://www.instagram.com/quantumupgrade.io/  Sponsors:  Square | Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at https://square.com/go/almost30! #squarepod Smileset | Go to https://smileset.com/almost30 to get 35% off.  BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

They had some bangers to be fair! Actor and One-fifth of the band 'Steps', Faye Tozer joined Dave to chat about Mean Girls: The Musical which comes to the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre from 25 August – 5 September.

This conversation with bestselling author Elise Loehnen explores how spiritual practice can help us question the beliefs we've inherited about being a "good woman." Krista + Elise unpack shame, envy, comparison, and desire, revealing how these patterns shape our lives—and how spirituality can become a path back to authenticity. Together, they explore the misunderstood story of Mary Magdalene, the origins of the seven deadly sins, and why emotions like envy, anger, and longing aren't flaws to overcome but invitations to deeper self-understanding. Elise shares how questioning old narratives can become one of the most powerful spiritual practices we have. From body image + ambition to belonging + purpose, this conversation invites you to rethink the rules you've inherited and embrace a more intentional way of living. If you've ever struggled with comparison, perfectionism, or feeling like you have to be "good" to be worthy, this episode offers a fresh perspective on spirituality, freedom, and self-worth. We also talk about: The truth about Mary Magdalene that history left out How the "good girl" script shows up in everyday life Why envy is pointing you toward your next chapter Releasing guilt around desire, ambition, and wanting more Healing your relationship with food + your body The emotional cost of comparison + perfectionism How shame disconnects us from our intuition Choosing depth over performance in the age of social media Finding freedom beyond society's expectations Why your triggers may be your greatest teachers Resources: Instagram: @eliseloehnen Substack: eliseloehnen.substack.com Book: https://a.co/d/0hlAvZYx Sponsors: Naturium | Give your skin the affordable, luxurious glow up it deserves.

What if your self-worth is shaping what you're able to manifest? In this episode, Krista sits down with To Be Magnetic's Chief Content Officer Jessica Gill to unpack the patterns behind money, abundance, relationships, and the subconscious blocks that may be keeping you from what you truly want. From attracting more money to calling in your soulmate, Jessica reveals why your nervous system needs to feel safe enough to hold your next level. They break down manifestation “tests,” wealth consciousness, and what happens when you stop settling for less than you truly desire. They also uncover the sneaky ways we self-sabotage—from childhood conditioning and perfectionism to fear of visibility. This conversation will help you reclaim your power, expand your capacity to receive, and rethink everything you know about manifestation. We also talk about: Manifestation tests + how to recognize them Breaking subconscious patterns around money + love Building wealth consciousness + an abundance mindset Nervous system regulation + expanding your capacity to receive Self-worth, boundaries, and trusting what you truly desire Manifesting aligned relationships + finding your soulmate Childhood conditioning + generational patterns Self-sabotage, perfectionism, and analysis paralysis Using jealousy + envy as tools for expansion Visibility, authenticity, and overcoming the fear of being seen Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessicaashleygill/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JessicaAshleyGill Substack: https://substack.com/@jessicaashleygill Expanded Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2B1ZemTinqpXMfH8vy6zzk?si=50f43dc8830c4e52 Watch our full-length vids of Expanded on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@tobemagnetic/podcasts Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tobemagnetic/?hl=en Website: www.tobemagnetic.com  Use code JESSICA for 15% TBM Pathway membership Sponsors: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Ahead, hear about the lessons + teachings that shaped Krista's personal growth, emotional healing, and self-discovery journey. From attachment styles to spirituality, intuition, and self-worth, these books offer powerful tools for becoming more connected to yourself. It's time to look at the patterns that keep you stuck and the beliefs that shape your reality. Krista explores why self-awareness is the foundation for change, how to stop self-sabotaging the life you want, and what it means to trust yourself more deeply. We also talk about: Why we self-sabotage when life starts getting really good The “upper limit problem” + expanding your capacity for love, success, and abundance Reclaiming the wild woman within + trusting your intuition without outside validation How people-pleasing can become a form of self-betrayal What your relationship with food can reveal about control, numbing, and receiving Anxious, avoidant, and secure attachment in romantic relationships + friendships Choosing love over fear + shifting the way you perceive your reality Staying powerful during conflict without becoming hardened Resources: Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Sponsors: Hero Bread | Hero Bread is offering 10% off your order.

What if the thing that broke your heart was actually the thing that set you free? In this episode on emotional healing, Krista sits down with Lindsey Schwartz, founder of Powerhouse Women®, to explore betrayal, heartbreak, and what it takes to rebuild your life when everything you thought was certain falls apart. Lindsey shares her journey of learning to trust herself again, healing from deep wounds, and navigating the identity shift that comes after loss. Together, they explore self-awareness, self-worth, and how painful experiences can become the catalyst for deeper purpose, authenticity, and transformation. From the financial + emotional fallout of betrayal to dating again after a 13-year marriage, Lindsey opens up about the messy, nonlinear process of healing. If you're navigating heartbreak, a major life transition, or learning to find yourself again, this conversation is for you. We also talk about: The financial + legal fallout that kept Lindsey “unhealed” How betrayal trauma made Lindsey question who she could trust The surprising role of Lindsey's childhood + religious upbringing Dating for the first time after a 13-year marriage Why rejection became an opportunity to fall more deeply in love with herself The pressure to share a perfectly healed version of yourself online Being seen in the messy seasons instead of waiting until you have it figured out Resources: Instagram: @Lindseymarieoffical Instagram: @Powerhouse_women Website: www.powerhousewomenevent.com Sponsors: Super | Start building your credit the easy way.

Motherhood didn't just change me—it completely redefined who I am and what truly fulfills me. If you've ever wondered whether it's okay to miss your old life while deeply loving your current one, this conversation is for you. I'm opening up about ambiguous grief, letting old versions of myself go, and learning to trust a season that looks nothing like the one before it. As I prepare to welcome my second child (yay!), I'm embracing the unknown again. We're talking about slowing down, redefining success, trusting the timing of your life, and honoring the version of you that's emerging—even if she doesn't look like who you used to be. We also talk about: Why becoming a mother completely reorganized my identity The surprising grief of missing your old life while loving your new one The concept of matrescence + the psychological transformation of motherhood Why fulfillment feels different from achievement + external validation Letting go of productivity, perfectionism, and the need to optimize everything Choosing family over hustle culture—and redefining success How motherhood stripped away my performative tendencies The pressure of watching everyone else achieve while you're in a slower season Trusting the timing of your life + embracing the creative unknown Why every season of motherhood asks you to become someone new Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors: Ritual | Don't settle for less than evidence-based support.

What if everything you've been taught about money is wrong? In this conversation with high-level wealth strategist Elizabeth Ralph, we're exploring why wealth might be less about working harder and more about the energy, beliefs, and patterns shaping your relationship with abundance.

If you've ever avoided looking at your bank account, wondered why money feels so emotionally charged, or felt like you're constantly trying to "figure it all out," this episode is for you. Get ready to rethink abundance + open yourself to a completely new way of relating to wealth. We also talk about: Why conscious women need to participate in wealth The connection between self-worth + net worth The hidden beliefs keeping you stuck in scarcity The energetics of abundance + effortless wealth Why personal development can become another form of ego The difference between control + trust in manifestation How social media impacts our relationship with money The real meaning of legacy + legacy wealth How to create abundance by becoming, not by doing Resources: Get one free month of SI Club at: https://myrootabl.com/r/ezmSidp0?rootabl=almost30podcast Website: https://www.thespiritualinvestor.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethralph/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Elizabeth_Ralph Sponsors: The Absorption Company | Start taking supplements your body can actually absorb.

OMG, we're taking a trip back to the very beginning of Almost 30 to listen to our early episodes, and honestly...we can't believe we're here today. Listening back had us laughing, cringing, and getting emotional over the dreams we had, the women we were, and the people we thought we'd become. Some things changed completely, and some of the things we wanted most somehow found us in ways we never could've planned. This is a deeply personal episode, and if you've ever looked back at an old version of yourself and thought, "Wow, she had no idea what was coming," let this be your reminder that every version of you is worthy. Get ready to laugh ‘til your abs hurt ladies—we're heading down memory lane! We also talk about: Our first impressions of each other + the women we were 10 years ago The dreams we had for our future selves + the manifestations that came true How our voices, identities, and priorities have evolved over the years Why giving yourself permission to cringe is actually a sign of growth The dating stories + deal-breaker questions that had us crying laughing The friendship that became the foundation of Almost 30 Trusting your intuition + following what feels like a full-body yes Why every season of reinvention is preparing you for what's next Looking back at old versions of yourself with compassion instead of judgment The beauty of realizing your life unfolded even better than you planned Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik  Instagram: @itskrista  Sponsors: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Hi my loves, Lindsey here. I've spent years in therapy, pursuing healing + self-discovery, but no one prepared me for this part—the loneliness that can sometimes come with becoming deeply self-aware.  In this solo episode, I'm exploring the beauty + burden of self-awareness—and why personal growth can sometimes feel surprisingly lonely. We'll talk about relationships, healing, and navigating life when it feels like you're growing in a different direction than the people around you. If you've ever felt frustrated, disconnected, or wondered why doing "the work" hasn't necessarily made relationships easier, this conversation is for you. Join me to talk about embodiment, maturity, and how to stay open-hearted without overanalyzing every part of your life.

Ladies, if you've ever wondered whether that gut feeling is intuition, anxiety, or something deeper, this episode is for you.  Krista sits down with spirit channel and medical intuitive Christine Lang for a fascinating conversation about learning to trust yourself, your inner knowing + the guidance that's available to you every day. This episode will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about destiny, free will, manifestation, and love. Whether you're navigating a relationship, searching for clarity, or looking to deepen your spiritual practice, Christine offers practical tools to help you trust the path unfolding before you. We also talk about: The surprising signs you're ignoring from your spirit Soulmates, soul contracts, twin flames + karmic relationships Why some relationships are meant to teach, not last Childhood patterns that quietly shape your dating life How highly intuitive women can navigate relationships with confidence The role of destiny versus free will in love Signs you've outgrown a friendship or relationship Resources: Instagram: @Christinelang_intuitive YouTube: @Christinelang_intuitive Website: www.ChristineLang.org Sponsors: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Listen up, ladies—Krista here. Can we talk about something that's been weighing on my heart? Lately, I've been questioning everything I thought my life would look like by this age—marriage, motherhood, success, and whether I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. In this deeply personal solo episode, I'm opening up about the pressure of timelines, the fear of falling behind, and the tension between trusting God's plan + wanting certain things for your future. If you've ever felt like everyone else is moving faster than you, this episode will feel like a hug, a reality check, and a reminder that your timeline isn't broken.

Ladies, if you're worried about your timeline, fertility, or aging…there's no need to fear anymore.  In this episode, Lucy Goff, founder of LYMA, joins Krista to talk about having a baby at 49, rebuilding her life after a near-death experience, and creating one of the most talked-about wellness brands in the world.  It feels like sitting down with the smartest, coolest older sister who tells you to stop freaking out about your timeline. Lucy + Krista dive DEEP into fertility pressure, beauty standards, women reinventing themselves later in life, and the reality of building something massive from scratch. Lucy opens up about being told “no” over and over again + why women seriously need to stop acting like life ends at 30. We also talk about: Why women hold themselves back from going after what they want The science behind LYMA + how the laser actually works The difference between red light therapy vs. clinical-grade lasers Stress + sleep: how they impact your skin + nervous system Learning to trust your intuition even when everyone doubts you Why life doesn't end at 30—and might actually get better after it Resources: Use code Almost30 for 10% off the LYMA Laser at https://lyma.sjv.io/R0ZkAN.

In today's episode I am joined by Lindsey Simcik, co-host of the Almost 30 Podcast.Lindsey's story is one of the most honest accounts of what it actually looks like to trust the zigzag. From aspiring actress to SoulCycle instructor to launching a podcast on a closet floor with a $15 recorder, she and co-host Krista Williams built one of the most beloved female-led podcasts in the world by following their intuition before they even knew that's what they were doing.In this conversation, Lindsey and I get into what the zigzag really costs, including grieving a dream that expired, navigating a decade-long business partnership through cross-country moves and personal pivots, and what it means to trust your emotional authority when you're making decisions in real time. We also talk about the power of women building together, why Almost 30 became a permission slip for so many to start exploring the softer arts, and the book Lindsey co-wrote with Krista, which is all about that potent, disorienting season of life when everything is shifting and you can't yet see what's being born.I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coachBig love,MxxLindsey's Details:Website - https://almost30.com/Instagram - @LindseySimcik YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@NewMomOTBLindsey's substack is Momplex! https://substack.com/@momplex?utm_source=global-searchBook -  https://almost30.com/bookBodyGraph Chart SoftwareCreate your own Human Design chart tool with BodyGraphChart!

In this solo episode, Lindsey dives into the dating pattern so many of us secretly fall into but rarely admit: future tripping. From imagining a future with someone after one date to wondering if they could be “the one,” Lindsey reframes future tripping as something deeper than overthinking. Lindsey explores the psychology behind future tripping, the difference between intuition + anxiety in relationships, and how your nervous system often recognizes compatibility before your mind does. Lindsey also shares the powerful dating lessons she learned through years of being single. This episode is for anyone who's ever ignored their instincts, stayed too long because of someone's “potential,” or questioned what they truly want. Lindsey shares a new framework for dating rooted in self-trust, and understanding what your imagined future may be trying to tell you.  We also talk about: Why future tripping is actually rooted in neuroscience + attachment theory Signs you're confusing potential with reality Why “I can change them” is often a dangerous mindset The subtle difference between compromising + abandoning yourself Green flags that signal real emotional growth in a partner How to identify compatibility beyond chemistry and attraction What your imagined future reveals about your deepest desires + values Lindsey's personal dating stories before meeting her husband Sean Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Chime | It just takes a few minutes to sign up.

We are heartbroken to share that since recording this interview, Katherine Woodward Thomas has passed. In January, Krista had the gift of sitting down with Katherine for this conversation, and we feel deeply blessed to share her wisdom, presence, and legacy with this community. The beloved bestselling author of Calling in 'The One' + a pioneer in conscious relationships, Katherine shares the deeply personal journey that led her to her life's work—from overcoming an eating disorder to becoming a global thought leader in personal growth + transformation.  She introduces her powerful concept of the “source fracture story,” revealing how our earliest wounds shape our relationships, beliefs, and reality.

What happens when you finally stop chasing—and start surrendering? In this transformative episode, Meghan Swidler shares how walking away from a life in venture capital led her into a profound awakening, forcing her to confront the truth: she was living for everyone else but herself.  From toxic relationships + anxious attachment patterns to reclaiming her feminine energy and sense of self-worth. Through Meghan's inner work + coaching, she breaks down how she stopped attracting emotionally unavailable partners and created space for real, grounded love.  Then comes the story that will stay with you: a solo camper van trip, complete surrender to intuition, and love that unfolds when she least expects it. Meghan reveals what healthy love actually feels like—and why it's not butterflies and chaos, but safety, and deep emotional connection.  We also talk about: How to break cycles of emotionally unavailable relationships The truth about anxious attachment vs. situational anxiety Masculine vs. feminine energy in modern dating Why “ease” is the biggest green flag in relationships The power of taking a break from dating to reset your patterns How intuition leads you to aligned love (not chasing) Financial and emotional strategies for leaving a stable career Why your dream life starts when you stop living for approval Resources: Free Detox Quiz: https://meghanswidler.typeform.com/detoxphasequiz?typeform-source=linktr.ee LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/meghanswidler Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meghanswidler/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghanswidler/ Substack: https://meghanswidler.substack.com/ Website: https://meghanswidler.com/ Two Books on Amazon: https://r.amzlink.to/?btn_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fstores%2FMeghan-Swidler%2Fauthor%2FB0D66SYTWX%3Fref%3Dap_rdr%26isDramIntegrated%3Dtrue%26shoppingPortalEnabled%3Dtrue&btn_ref=org-433bb393e1b8b503 The Cleanses: https://thecleanses.meghanswidler.com/ 30-Minute Consultation: https://calendly.com/meghanswidler/health-history-consultation Intro: https://intro.co/meghanswidler Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Ka'Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your first order.

What if your fatigue, anxiety, breakouts, and “burnout” weren't just part of life—but signals your body is begging you to listen to? In this episode, Dr. Cabral reveals how symptoms are not random and why most people are treating the surface instead of the root cause. Ahead, we unpack the powerful framework behind true healing: deficiencies vs. toxicities. From gut health to mineral imbalances to chronic stress, Dr. Cabral breaks down exactly how your body falls out of balance—and how to bring it back without extremes, trends, or overwhelm. If you feel like you're doing all the “right” things but still don't feel like yourself, this episode will flip everything you thought you knew about health. This is your roadmap to more energy, clearer skin, better sleep + a body that finally works with you—not against you. We also talk about: Why symptoms like brain fog, poor sleep, and bloating shouldn't be ignored The truth about aging—and why it may be happening faster than it should Mineral deficiencies (zinc, magnesium, selenium) and their impact on hormones and skin How chronic stress and cortisol dysregulation are silently affecting your health The real root cause of many autoimmune and gut-related issues Why undereating and overexercising can backfire on your metabolism The connection between sleep, brain health, and long-term disease prevention Simple, actionable steps to rebalance your body and feel better fast Resources: 50% Off Minerals and Metals Test > https://stephencabral.com/Almost30 Persnomics Book > https://personomics.io/book Personomics Coaching Waitlist > Personomics.io/coaching StephenCabral.com (main page) StephenCabral.com/podcasts (Cabral Concept podcast page) Equi.Life (Functional Medicine Labs & Protocols) IntegrativeHealthPractitioner.org (Health Coaching Certification & Course) Instagram.com/StephenCabral Facebook.com/DrStephenCabral YouTube.com/StephenCabral https://personomics.io/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Chime | It just takes a few minutes to sign up.
