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.

From angels + guides to prayer, intuition, manifestation, and energetic cleansing, she shares the practices that help her feel more supported + connected. She gets into the importance of discernment—why you can work with healers without giving your power away, protect your subconscious from what you consume, and learn to trust what feels true for you. Plus, Krista shares how she uses manifestation through identity, energy, and surrender.  Most of all, this is permission to stop following someone else’s spiritual rulebook and create a practice that actually feels like you.

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. Dr. Shefali explains how to raise children who trust themselves instead of chasing validation, success, or approval from the outside world. She also gets real about the different ways boys + girls are being impacted by modern culture, from shame + disconnection to self-abandonment + the pressure to perform. This episode will challenge how you think about parenting + personal growth. We also talk about:  Why parents can’t “out-perfect” their unconscious How children borrow regulation + a sense of safety from us The difference between connection + simply being happy together Why performance-based parenting is no longer working Social media, comparison, beauty standards + the “perception prison” Raising boys with less shame around emotions, sexuality + masculinity Why girls are learning to be perceived before they learn to be Parentification, self-abandonment + emotional caretaking How to help children develop inner authority + self-trust Dr. Shefali’s new books, Raising Conscious Sons + Raising Conscious Daughters Resources: Books: https://www.drshefali.com/raisingconscious-daughters-sons/   Sponsors:  The Real Real | Get $25 off your first purchase when you go to therealreal.com/ALMOST30.

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. If you’ve been afraid to hope for something again, this episode is a powerful reminder that your next chapter might require you to believe differently before you can live differently. 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 10% off your first purchase, up to $25.

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, Regena Thomashauer, bestselling author + founder of The School of Womanly Arts, joins us for a bold conversation about pleasure, the nervous system, self-worth, and feminine power. She shares why reconnecting with your body can change the way you move through your entire life. Regena opens up about her own trauma, the moment she realized success couldn’t heal what was happening underneath, and how pleasure became an unexpected path back to herself. She also shares what it means to trust your desire, even when life hasn’t unfolded on the timeline you imagined. This episode is a reminder that you are not here just to achieve, caretake, and hold everything together. We explore what becomes possible when you let yourself feel more, receive more, and reconnect with the part of you that knows you’re meant to be fully alive. We also talk about: Why women are taught to disconnect from their bodies + pleasure How shame around the female body can disconnect us from confidence + intuition Why Regena believes pleasure can help regulate the nervous system The difference between sexuality + erotic aliveness What happened when Regena realized her identity had become completely wrapped up in helping other people Her “on our knees” moment + the decision to finally turn inward How grief, fear, and desire can coexist during periods of deep uncertainty Using movement to help emotions move through the body The stories of Lilith, Psyche, Demeter, and Persephone + what they can teach us about feminine power Why women don’t have to shrink themselves to be loved or accepted Resources: Website: https://mamagenas.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mamagena Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mamagena Sponsors:  Naturium | Give your skin the affordable, luxurious glow up it deserves.

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.

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.

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.

What if the life you keep waiting for doesn’t require a new version of you—but a deeper connection to the one you already are? In this conversation on personal transformation, author + self-healing expert Yasmine Cheyenne joins Lindsey to explore burnout, self-betrayal, and what it takes to stop postponing your dreams + start creating a life that feels aligned. Yasmine shares the emotional healing journey behind her “comeback era,” opening up about the moments when success, achievement, and doing everything “right” still left her feeling disconnected from herself. Together, Lindsey + Yasmine explore how perfectionism, comparison, and people-pleasing can pull us away from our truth—and how rebuilding self-worth starts with choosing yourself. This conversation is a reminder that personal growth isn’t always about becoming someone new—it’s about returning to yourself, trusting your desires, and taking intentional steps toward the life you’ve been dreaming about. We also talk about: Reconnecting with your younger self Why success can still feel unfulfilling Comparison, perfectionism + self-betrayal The fear of starting over later in life Building self-trust through small daily steps Boundaries, honesty + hard conversations Grieving old versions of yourself Redefining success on your own terms Giving yourself permission to choose yourself Resources: http://yasminecheyenne.com http://instagram.com/yasminecheyenne https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-comeback-era-yasmine-cheyenne?variant=44065298153506 https://yasminecheyenne.substack.com/ 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: Ritual | Don’t settle for less than evidence-based support.

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. But this conversation is not just about healing the past—it’s about consciously creating what comes next.  We also talk about: Why healing alone isn’t always enough—and what real transformation actually requires How to stop repeating unhealthy relationship patterns, including narcissist/empath dynamics The difference between victim consciousness + personal power Why your future self should guide your growth—not your past The truth about “missing development” + emotional maturity How to identify + rewrite your core belief systems The role of self-mothering + inner healing in personal transformation How identity shifts can change the way you experience love, purpose, and connection Resources: Website: https://katherinewoodwardthomas.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katherinewoodwardthomas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/katherinewoodwardthomas/ Sponsors: Cozy Earth | Head to https://cozyearth.com and use code ALMOST30 for up to 20% off!

What if the real reason you feel bloated, exhausted, and stuck in a cycle of cravings… isn’t your willpower—but your gut? In this episode, Colleen Cutcliffe joins Lindsey to break down the hidden power of your gut microbiome—and why 95% of us are missing one critical nutrient: fiber. From metabolism + energy to mood, cravings, and even longevity, your gut is running the show behind the scenes.

If you’re navigating stress, burnout, hormone shifts, or simply trying to feel better in your body, this episode is your blueprint. You’ll walk away with simple, realistic “life hacks” to optimize your gut health, boost your energy, and finally break the cycle of inflammation, cravings, and fatigue. We also talk about: Why only 5% of Americans get enough fiber (and how it’s impacting your health) How your gut microbiome affects mood, anxiety, and brain chemistry The truth about fiber supplements vs. whole foods Why processed foods + alcohol quietly damage your gut The surprising link between fiber, gut health, and colon health How stress destroys your microbiome (and how to fix it) Easy daily “gut health hacks” for busy women in their 30s What to do after antibiotics to rebuild your gut properly Resources: https://www.instagram.com/drcolleencutcliffe/ https://www.instagram.com/pendulumlifeco/ https://pendulumlife.com/collections/almost30 https://pendulumlife.com/products/gut-fuel-pouch https://pendulumlife.com/products/gut-fuel-packets Use Code ALMOST30 for 20% off Gut Fuel and your first subscription order 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.

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 relationship with food isn’t about willpower—but about the beliefs you formed before age seven? In this episode, New York Times bestselling author Geneen Roth joins Krista to unpack emotional eating, body image, and the hidden hunger driving so many women’s struggles.  Geneen shares how decades of dieting, extreme thinness, and chasing the “perfect body” never fixed the deeper hunger. From the mother wound to diet culture, this conversation reveals why food often becomes a stand-in for love, safety, and validation.  If you’ve ever thought “I’ll be happy when I lose the weight,” this episode reframes everything. This is a powerful conversation on emotional eating, self-worth, and how to finally feel full—beyond food, beyond the scale, and beyond the voice telling you you’re not enough. We also talk about: Why intuitive eating doesn’t work without an “inner adult” The psychology behind emotional eating + stress cravings GLP-1s, Ozempic, and what happens when food noise disappears Diet culture, body positivity, and the return of extreme thinness Childhood beliefs that secretly drive adult behaviors around food Why losing weight doesn’t automatically create happiness or confidence The difference between discipline + compassion in healing How to become your own “inner mother” + stop self-abandonment  Resources: Geneen’s new book, Love, Finally: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/762978/love-finally-by-geneen-roth/ Website: https://geneenroth.com/ Substack: https://cookiesandconsciousness.substack.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/geneenroth/ 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: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

This conversation explores the emotional healing behind our relationship with our bodies, and why so many women spend years trying to fix something that was never broken. K+L unpack body image, self-worth, confidence, and the conditioning that teaches women to disconnect from themselves in order to feel worthy. They explore how women are taught to view their bodies as something to control, improve, or use for validation — and what happens when you choose a different path. Krista shares her experience with body image and dating, while Lindsey opens up about pregnancy, identity shifts, and learning to trust her body through change. K+L dive into body acceptance, intuitive eating, nervous system healing, and the mindset shifts that create a healthier relationship with food, movement, and yourself. If you’ve struggled with comparison, perfectionism, or feeling at war with your body, this episode offers a new perspective on what true healing can look like. We also talk about: -Body image struggles in your 20s vs. your 30s -Using your body as “currency” in dating + relationships -Healing your relationship with food + ending restriction cycles -Pregnancy, body changes, and identity shifts -Why body neutrality may be more powerful than body love -Understanding hormones, birth control, and mood shifts -Emotional eating, control, and fitness culture -Learning your unique blueprint for sleep, movement, and nutrition -Confidence, femininity, and attracting healthier relationships -Building a relationship with your body before dating Resources: -Instagram: @lindseysimcik -Instagram: @itskrista -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: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
