In this solo, Lindsey opens up about navigating friendships in different seasons of life, from motherhood to career changes, marriage, and everything in between. She shares why relationship shifts don’t automatically mean something is wrong—and how letting go of expectations can create more space for connection. She gets into the difference between a friendship that needs more intentionality + one that may be naturally falling away. From having honest conversations about capacity to setting boundaries, Lindsey shares practical ways to stay connected without overextending yourself or making every change mean something. She also shares simple ways to nurture the people you love through big life transitions, including voice notes, meaningful plans, meals, and small acts of care. This is a reminder that lasting friendships can ebb and flow, enter “winter seasons,” and still come back with fresh energy when you give them room to evolve. We also talk about: Friendship after becoming a mom When distance is actually healthy The pressure to be a “good friend” Supporting friends through grief + major change Why one friend often changes seasons first How to stop filling silence with assumptions Nourishing someone when they’re overwhelmed Balancing compassion with accountability Being a better friend to yourself Planning something to look forward to Resources: Go to https://wearechiyo.com/ and use code ALMOST30 for 10% off any purchase.

Lindsey Burwell, integrated health practitioner + founder of The Patch Method, joins us for a powerful conversation about healing, self-awareness, and learning to trust your body again. She shares how a decade of trials transformed her relationship with her body, her faith, and her purpose. We get into the pressure to optimize everything, why more isn’t always more, and how Lindsey learned to loosen her grip on perfection. From supplements + wellness routines to intuitive movement + nervous system regulation, she shares what shifted when she stopped treating herself like a project to fix. Lindsey also opens up about fear of being seen, spiritual warfare, following intuitive nudges, and finding meaning in the hardest seasons of life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Motherhood didn't just change me—it transformed the way I see myself, my purpose, and the life I want to create. In this solo episode, Lindsey explores self-awareness through the lens of motherhood, identity shifts, and emotional healing, sharing what happens when we release old versions of ourselves and learn to embrace who we’re becoming. 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.

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.

What if purpose isn't about doing more—but about letting go of everything that isn't meant for you? Blu of Earth + Lily Ashwell join Krista to explore how slowing down, trusting your intuition, and releasing external validation can help you reconnect with the work that truly aligns with your purpose. Together, they share the years-long creative journey behind their handcrafted tarot deck + the mindset shifts that allowed them to embrace uncertainty, trust divine timing, and create from a place of authenticity. Their conversation is a reminder that your next chapter doesn't have to be forced—it unfolds when you create space for it. From navigating life-changing transitions to reconnecting with your inner wisdom, Blu + Lily reveal how purpose, emotional healing, and self-awareness emerge when we stop chasing what looks good on paper and start listening to ourselves. If you're questioning your path or feeling called toward something new, this episode is for you. We also talk about: Why slowing down can unlock deeper creativity + purpose The spiritual lessons hidden within major life transitions Blu's experience navigating hearing loss + unexpected change How to trust divine timing when life isn't going according to plan Building authentic friendships through honesty + repair The difference between creating for validation vs. creating from the soul Letting go of perfectionism in the creative process How intuition can guide your next chapter Resources: Find Heavenly Bodies Tarot available for purchase exclusively on Amazon (US only - for now).

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. 💛 We also talk about: The difference between self-awareness + true embodiment How therapy changed the way I see relationships The unexpected loneliness I've experienced throughout my healing journey The difference between knowing your wounds + actually healing them Why I sometimes miss the version of me who wasn't analyzing everything The trap of overthinking your relationships in the name of self-development How motherhood has deepened my understanding of emotional regulation Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors: Naturium | Give your skin the affordable, luxurious glow up it deserves.

Having a baby at 49 challenged everything Lucy Goff thought she knew about aging, success, and what was possible. Lucy, founder of LYMA, joins Krista to explore the mindset shifts behind reinventing yourself, trusting your timeline, and embracing personal transformation at any stage of life.

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.
