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 Defining the law of attraction Resources:  Website: daniellelaporte.com Instagram: @daniellelaporte Twitter: @daniellelaporte Book: How To Be Loving Sponsors: Babbel | Get 55% off your Babbel subscription at babbel.com/ALMOST30.

In a culture that still teaches us to deprioritize desire, Dr. Emily Morse encourages us to embrace sex as an act of wellness.  As a renowned sex therapist and host of the #1 relationship podcast “Sex With Emily,” Emily has been leading the pleasure revolution for nearly two decades. In her new book, Smart Sex, she guides us through expanding our sexual intelligence and owning our desires. In this episode, Emily introduces a radical new paradigm called sexual intelligence (Sex IQ). Classified into five pillars—embodiment, health, collaboration, self-knowledge, and self-acceptance—she creates a framework for how to re-educate ourselves about pleasure and honor our sexual wants.  We also talk about: What’s holding you back from having the best sex How to have a conversation about your sex life The five pillars of sexual intelligence  How to relax your body during sex What to do when your attraction shifts  Non-monogamous relationships  Resources:  Book: Smart Sex: How to Boost Your Sex IQ and Own Your Pleasure Website: sexwithemily.com Podcast: Sex with Emily Instagram: @sexwithemily Facebook: @sexwithemily Twitter: @sexwithemily Sponsors: Seed | Start a new healthy habit today.
