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.

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.  Recently, she vulnerably shared about the ending of her 10-year partnership and in this episode, she dives into conscious uncoupling. 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.  While your decisions might not make sense to others, if you hear the call, it's important to listen, process and act on your truth.  We also talk about: Ending relationships  Stepping into truth + love  Respecting the process How to support your friends  Making hard decisions Letting go of people pleasing tendencies Being yourself in relationships How perfectionism is not love Liberating the other person + yourself  Resources: Instagram: @itskrista Related Program: The Sacredness of Being Single Related Episode: How to Know and When to Let Go Sponsors: CURED | Grab Zen and CBN in the Sleep Bundle for an extra 20% off of CURED’s already discounted price by visiting curednutrition.com/almost30 and using the coupon code “ALMOST30” at checkout.  IQ Bar | Get 20% off all IQBAR products.

It’s no surprise to the Almost 30 community that your childhood trauma and wounds can shape your adult life. Vienna Pharaon knows this all too well. A licensed marriage and family therapist, and one of New York City’s most sought-after relationship therapists, she has practiced therapy for more than fifteen years and is the founder and owner of the group practice Mindful Marriage and Family Therapy.  Today, she joins Krista on the show to discuss her first book, The Origins of You. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been in therapy for decades, or if therapy just isn’t for you. It doesn’t matter if you have countless memories from childhood, or none at all. All that matters is having a willingness to look inside, dig deep, and commit to building the life you want.  In this episode, Krista and Vienna discuss how to fully understand the family dynamics and dysfunctions that created what she calls “origin wounds,” as well as the practical work needed to heal our wounds and leave behind the limiting beliefs and behaviors that don’t serve us. We also talk about: Why the “firsts” in your life are important Understanding your family patterns  Remembering your childhood wounds  Fear about recalling the past  What it means to be hypervigilant Living in victim mentality + avoiding healing How there will always be a need to heal + grow  Examples of people unpacking their wounds Resources: Instagram: @mindfulmft    Facebook: Mindful Marriage and Family Therapy Book: The Origins of You Sponsors: Vive Organic | Visit viveorganic.com and use code ALMOST30 at checkout for 15% off your first product.

Are you jealous of something or someone? What scares you? Where do you see friction in your life? As dreams grow, fears do too. Few know this as well as Mel Robbins. A New York Times Bestselling author and self-publishing phenom, Mel’s work includes The High 5 Habit, The 5 Second Rule, and The Mel Robbins Podcast. Her female-led media company produces provocative, life-changing content, with millions of books sold, billions of video views, six #1 audiobooks, and one of the most viewed TEDx talks in the world.   In this episode, Mel teaches us about unveiling desires, following dreams and shifting identities. And perhaps most importantly: calling your own bullshit.  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  The truth behind narcissism and narcissistic tendencies  How social media affects our interpersonal connections Why adult friendships are so hard  The natural evolution of friendship   Resources: The Mel Robbins Podcast: Listen on Apple or Spotify YouTube: @melrobbins Instagram: melrobbins Website: melrobbins.com Books: melrobbins.com/books   Episode Related Resources:  Blog: Change Your Life With The High 5 Habit from Mel Robbins Watch Episode 460 on YouTube Listen to Episode 460 on Apple Podcasts or Spotify   Sponsors: The Invitation | A Relationship Breakup Series.

Time and time again, K+L have found that the simplest methods, like breathing, meditation…and tapping, are some of the best techniques to ground and open their hearts.  In this episode, Lindsey and Brad Yates, aka Tapping with Brad, discuss the roots of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT, also known as tapping), a practice that helps to shift your mindset, clear anxiety and move stuck energy. Sometimes all you need to do is put down your phone and remember that freedom is literally at your fingertips.  We also talk about: What are meridian points  The benefits of tapping  How to move stuck energy  The problem with affirmations Manifest through EFT   Clear anxiety and shift your mindset There’s no such thing as “negative” emotions   Resources: Book: Freedom At Your Fingertips Children’s Book: The Wizard’s Wish  Documentary: The Tapping Solution  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/tapwithbrad Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TapWithBrad Instagram: http://instagram.com/tapwithbrad Twitter: http://twitter.com/tapwithbrad TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tapwithbrad Website: www.tapwithbrad.com    More Resources: Building a Legacy of Love by Christie Burn Yates Illusions by Richard Bach  Sponsors: Seed | Visit seed.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 to redeem 20% off.  Mud/Wtr | Go to mudwtr.com/a30 to support the show and use code A30 for 15% off.  LMNT | Get 8 single serving packets FREE with any LMNT order at DrinkLMNT.com/ALMOST30.  HelloFresh | Go to HelloFresh.com/60almost30 and use code 60almost30 for 60% off plus free shipping.  To advertise on our podcast, please reach out to sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/Almost30.   Learn More: almost30.com/learn almost30.com/morningmicrodose almost30.com/courses   Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

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  Resources: Website: www.ifs-institute.com  Instagram: @internalfamilysystems   Facebook: @InternalFamilySystems  Twitter: @IFS_Model  LinkedIn: IFS Institute  No Bad Parts The Evolution of The Internal Family Systems Model  The Larger Self  Books: Internal Family Systems: Skills Training Manual Many Minds, One Self You Are The One You've Been Waiting For The Mosaic Mind Internal Family Systems Therapy - 2nd Edition Introduction to the Internal Family Systems Model Level 1 Bundle: Internal Family Systems Therapy - 2nd Edition, Introduction to the Internal Family Systems Model, Mosaic Mind  Sponsors: Analemma Water | Try Analemma water at coherent-water.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off.  IQ Bar | Get 20% off all IQBar products, plus get FREE shipping.

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  Resources: Instagram: @itskrista The Life Edit program  Sponsors: Seed | Visit seed.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 to redeem 20% off your first month of Seed's DS-01® Daily Synbiotic.  IQ Bar | Get 20% off all IQBAR products.

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  Unpacking your lifestyle and your systems  Why humans resist loneliness and change Releasing the need to control your emotions Resources: Read: Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy Instagram: @sitwithwhit Sponsors: Osea | Head to oseamalibu.com and use code ALMOST30 for 10% off.  Issuu | Get started with Issuu today for FREE or sign up for an annual premium account and get 50% off when you go to issuu.com/podcast and use promo code ALMOST30.

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.  We also talk about: Being a Black woman in corporate America Embracing her identity unapologetically  Knowing when to make a career change  Wrestling with the ego and learning to let go of identities  Trusting the Soul to light the path forward  Dealing with the loss of her husband and daughter  Navigating and carrying two different types of grief  How grief shifted her perspective on life and self  The challenges of motherhood and pursuing a career  Giving her daughter an empowered voice within the house Defining urgency (Hint: it’s about intention!)

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!

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  Resources: Group Program: Sacredness of Being Single Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups To advertise on our podcast, please reach out to sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/Almost30.

Maryam Hasnaa is a profound natural resource of innate wisdom and relational insight. She's also not someone who sits down for in-depth interviews very often, so it was really beautiful, especially, to have her in the studio for this powerful extended conversation. In this, part one of K+L’s inspired chat with Maryam, you'll learn a lot about energetics. You'll learn a lot about authenticity and how to shift your energy. You will learn a lot about energy matching, hooking, sacred pauses – all of these really powerful interpersonal concepts that will truly change your life if you understand and apply them. Don’t miss part two, Thursday of this week, as this conversation is continued, delving deeper into healthy relationships, relationship templates, soul contracts, evolving and devolving, and much more in that realm of energetic wellness.  We also talk about: Energetics of conspiracy theories  What is energy matching?

Jessie Inchauspé, AKA, Glucose Goddess, is a biochemist with a message for the world on clean eating and vibrant living. She joins K+L in the studio for a star seed transmission that will change how you think about full-body health – really. And it all comes down to our blood sugar. We unpack the science of cravings; skin health and hormones; good (and bad) smoothies; healthy blood sugar ranges; lifestyle factors like caffeine, exercise, and stress; and why glucose levels are important – even if you're not diabetic. The conversation around blood sugar is incredibly important. It's long awaited and long overdue for us to be mindful about this aspect of our health. And Jessie is the perfect vessel to deliver this important science-backed message to the community.  We also talk about: How breaking her back split her mind Becoming the Glucose Goddess Why the focus on glucose?

Here on Almost 30, we like to talk about spirituality, health, and wellness – and this fascinating conversation marries all three subjects in a way that we know you'll love. 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. We’re welcoming in some new and inspiring ideas for this one, as we do a dive deep on the research, the science, and the significance of structured water. In short, the new information presented in this conversation will change how you see and interact with water forever. Don’t worry – it all makes perfect sense as soon as we get into it.  It’s a concept Mario has been developing for fifteen years, but one that’s still brand new on the scene in terms of awareness and understanding. We’re excited for you all to hear the studies that they've done with people, and with plants, that prove how structured water affects your light body, as well as your ability to grow, thrive and be vibrant. 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.

Your brain changes when you're on birth control, that’s just the reality of it. The conversation around birth control and contraception, and even fertility, is one we've been having for a while on the podcast. It’s an incredibly complex subject and one we’re excited to delve further into with Dr. Sarah E. Hill. Dr. Sarah is the author of Your Brain On Birth Control, and she’s one the world’s foremost leaders on women’s health, especially as it relates to hormonal birth control and what influence it has on our bodies, our brains, and our lives. Our goal with this one is not to shame anyone that's on birth control, or an IUD, or whatever works best for you. Our goal is to always bring you leading-edge, curious conversations that empower you to explore these topics and concepts on your own – in your sovereignty – and then make the best decision that works for you.

If you're listening to this podcast, you probably are already doing a lot of work, a lot of personal growth work, a lot of therapy, a lot of courses, a lot of programs. You're probably following all the right quote accounts and all the right inspirational creators – all of it, all of it, all of it. But today, we ask: Why? This special solo episode with Krista is all about bringing our intentions into question. Especially in 2023, our intention behind all of these personal growth and self-development practices is critically important. Our intention is truly everything – it even changes our molecules! And without it, we end up on a negative feedback loop, right where we started. We also talk about: Intention behind self-development work  Showing gratitude for nourishment Enjoying food vs. negative thoughts  Internal Family Systems Energetics of intention  Accepting who we are Owning the path of an empath Practices for getting right on the inside  Resources: Finding Everything in Nothing: Darkness Retreat Recap #569 Use This Method for a Better Relationship with Your Body #522 Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Today’s special heart-filled episode is a session from last summer’s Camp Almost 30, Becoming the One. It’s presented beautifully by Sheleana Aiyana, empowerment leader and author of the life-changing relationship and self-development book, Becoming the One: Heal Your Past, Transform Your Relationship Patterns, and Come Home to Yourself. We really love the way in which Sheleana has been able to take her own experience, whether it's in relationship with self or others, and her own traumas – and really transform them into potent and powerful lessons for us all to really learn from and heal through. Sheleana talks about building a secure, loving relationship with self; setting boundaries; connecting with your inner child; and so much more as she takes a few thoughtful questions from attendees. Her groundedness and ability to channel what's true is immensely powerful.

Danielle Beinstein is an astrocartographer, an expert in zodiac charts, how to read them, and what different houses and alignments might mean for your lived experience. In this conversation with Krista, she touches on everything from the basics of astrocartography and finding oneself, to media programming and social media’s toxic effect on our collective psyche.  They also unpack the memeification of astrology and relationships, both external and internal, pointing out the limiting nature of definitive, distilled messaging in the space. We leave with a detailed look at the upcoming energetics of 2023, which planets look to step into the spotlight – and highlight a handful of important eclipses on the celestial calendar. We also talk about: Dropping in to self-love Relationships, perfectionism, and social media Going deeper, not wider  Moving energy through our body How locations affect our experience Intro to astrocartography How to read your chart  Using astrology to find soul alignment Applying chart readings to relationships How are we looking for 2023?

Get ready to laugh with this blast from Almost 30’s past! K+L are back with another reaction episode – that’s right, they’re listening to early episodes of the show and reminiscing on the evolution of the podcast, the bumpy years of their Saturn return, and their spiritual growth over the last eight years.  The girls think back on their first experiences with manifestation, referencing influential figures like Joe Dispenza, Neville Goddard, and Abraham Hicks as shepherds on their journey. Plus, discover how practices like the law of attraction ultimately affected their relationships and friend circles.  Of course, the girls travel back in time to past dating episodes, reliving their own heartbreaks, lessons, and awakenings surrounding romantic relationships. From their closet floors to now, K+L take us through a hilarious, yet profound odyssey of friendship, faith, and personal development.  We also talk about: Friendship dynamics as we grow older Manifesting Krista's boyfriend + her journey into spirituality Challenges of romantic relationships + dependent behavior Balancing the masculine + feminine in relationships The importance of good data for health discussions Experiencing dating app burnout Recording origins + the evolution of the podcast Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Program: Sacredness of Being Single Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Sponsors: Ritual | Get 25% off your first month for a limited time at ritual.com/ALMOST30.

K+L spoke with Lee Harris, renowned channel and author of Conversations with The Z's. With luck, and maybe some divine intervention, Lee received a second download – a message from The Z’s urging him to channel, live, here on the show. This episode, a curated clip from part two of their conversation, presents his channeling of The Z’s in full – a very special honor. Expecting and prompting them for a general message to the collective, K+L are surprised with an intimate and intuitive perspective on their own relationship (and relationships) past, present, and future. As specific as some of their observations are, The Z’s share paradigm-breaking lessons which ring true for all of us.

The holiday time is beautiful, and powerful, and magical – and so fucking stressful and confronting. It’s important that we take some time to track spiritual progress with some introspective time alone or with a friend to push and challenge the conversation. In this one, Krista is joined by Sahara Rose to reflect on their spiritual growth, dream about what’s to come, diagnose the great ills of the world, and align their energies to addressing them for the collective – and for themselves.  They go into the Matrix for a preview of the future, parse social media’s place in the development of our brains (and species), and make a declarative stand on twerking as a beautiful and ancestral form of female empowerment and sexual power! We also talk about: K+L on holiday family dynamics  Sharing your message vs. valuing your privacy  Self-censorship and social media Posting as a replacement for expression Technology as a tool for improving lives Making the Matrix real Addictive media messaging  Twerking and female empowerment  Who is Sahara today?
