Her activist and academic works are rooted in providing intellectual discourse, tools, and resources that explore the intersection of race and womanhood.

We have been big fans of Iliza Shlesinger for-ev-er. Her ability to find humor to connect people around important topics, to stay relevant and inclusive, and to make audiences laugh show after show, is so inspiring. Iliza has been a comedian for over a decade now, but since winning Season 6 of Last Comic Standing, she has truly been unstoppable and ever-evolving. With four Netflix comedy specials, a co-star in her first movie out next year, her 5th special on the horizon, and material that is vulnerable, empowering, and hilarious, Iliza is making people laugh and think. . We talk about what it’s like to be recognized in public, positive and negative feedback from society, and what it’s like to be a powerhouse woman in comedy. With Iliza working on a new movie, we also take a minute to laugh over our fake Boston accents! It’s so refreshing to watch Iliza perform. Whether she’s in character as a gazelle or herself, there is truth in both. You can tell she has been herself since day one. Iliza is playful, unbelievably smart, and has worked hard on her way to the top. We also talk about… Letting comments and remarks go The #metoo movement Iliza’s evolution as a comic Creating and preparing for her special, Elder Millennial Why she decided to not share her relationship on social media Plus, Iliza answers questions from #ALMOST30NATION Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

We are taking a look into the cosmos today with astrologer, Aliza Kelly! At times, astrology can be confusing, but Aliza’s super down to Earth approach makes astrology so much easier to digest and understand. Aliza serves as the in-house astrologer and occult story columnist for Allure Magazine, as well as creating the moneyscopes for Cheddar.com. She shares with us how her uncle peaked her interest in the world of astrology, but how she didn’t fully immerse herself in the world until many years later, when she created a dating app rooted in astrological compatibility. In our conversation, we talk all about eclipses, retrogrades, and saturn returns - oh my! We also quickly discover the ties that the planetary alignment has with the political atmosphere, relationships, and how we can all use astrology as a window to take a look into the future. Listen up as Aliza gives a glimpse into each planet to helps us all understand our own sign, and why we have the characteristics that we do. The Mixology of Astrology, Aliza’s new book, just came out - be sure to grab a copy to better understand how astrology can be used in all aspects of your life, even down to the happy hour drink you sip on!

This conversation with Adi was so refreshing, and totally necessary given today’s climate. He is very clear with his points, his intentions, and his message surrounding drugs and addiction. Adi Jaffe, PhD, is a research psychologist, addiction specialist, and founder of IGNTD - Igniting Lives Beyond Limits. A nationally recognized speaker and expert on mental health and stigma, he has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, Good Morning America, CNN and more. His Tedx Talk on shame has been seen by nearly 500,000 people. Adi’s approach to addiction is so incredible, as he lifts the shame around it to make it more suitable for progression and healing, offering grace in a conversation that tends to have none. Adi’s own story is beautiful, and we appreciate his openness and honesty in sharing it with us all. We take a deep dive into who Adi was before he met Sophie — from selling ecstasy, to struggling with depression, to beginning to experiment with harder drugs, like meth. We hear the differences between the drugs he took, and how with each step he took, the harder it was to break free from the addiction. Adi also shares the reality of trying to rebuild a life after addiction and a criminal record, and the beginning stages of his relationship with Sophie. It is truly their differences that make the relationship strong, balanced, and beautiful. Adi tells us all about his brand new book, The Abstinence Myth, and what sparked this incredible take on the connection between abstinence and addiction. We also talk about... Adi’s motivation to get clean What he learned in jail The 4 factors of addiction Conversations around shame + how to have them Reframing the idea of an addict An IGNTD success story Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

We are hanging with our soul sister, the funny + beautiful, Sahara Rose. Everyone in our Secret Facebook group can’t stop talking about our first ever episode with Sahara, over a year ago. With her new GORGEOUS cookbook, Eat Feel Fresh, being released, we knew we had to have her back on. Sahara created this cookbook as a way to bring the beauty of Ayurveda to modern times in easy, accessible recipes that are sure to help you live more aligned with your doshas. In the episode, you’ll get a run down of the 3 doshas (for a deeper look, listen to our first episode with Sahara), how she brought India to life in the pages of her new cookbook, and why it was important to her to work with local photographers for this project. We all had a good laugh over how Vata Lindsey is, and how Pitta Krista is - but Krista with those beautiful Kapha cheeks and Lindsey spending time on the toilet like a true Pitta, we dive into possible combos! PLUS the why behind the recipes Sahara chose to put in her cookbook. We also dish on dosha’s! Sahara shares why she knew she wanted to be with a Pitta guy, and how her dating experience with a Kapha helped her come to that realization. The two of us just couldn’t love this girl any more.

Recent discussions in our Secret Facebook group inspired today’s episode. So many of you have turned to the group for guidance and advice surrounding the pain of grief and loss. How do we cope? Does it get easier? When our loved one’s pass, where do they go and how do they feel? Tim Braun is a world-renowned medium who has performed over 15,000 individual sittings across two decades, and has become the medium people connect with to heal in the wake of losing a loved one or immense loss. Tim is so kind, funny, and intentional. He does not filter what comes through from the other side. His gift is to bring forth the messages from loved ones passed to those still in the physical world. Lindsey has been sitting with Tim once a year for about three years. Each time, she experiences deep healing in connecting with her loved ones and friends who have passed. Often times they have messages for her about what is currently happening in her life, which is immensely comforting and affirming that they are with us always. We discuss… Lindsey and Krista’s reading with Tim Healthy ego + staying within our humbleness When Tim realized he had his gift + how he learned to use it Tim’s aspirations to be a talk show host Getting some answers about aliens, psychics, and more Tim’s skepticism When we pass over What Tim sees, hears, and feels during a reading Grief, loss, and how to cope Everyone has intuition!!

#Almost30nation! Hello friends! Excited to introduce you to this week’s guest. Evita Robinson founded the NOMADNESS Travel Tribe, a first-of-its-kind movement bringing together and representing the underrepresented in mainstream travel. Their mission is to show the world that travel has no racial, gender, religious, economic, or interest limitations through community representation and relevancy (like the $50,000,000 being injected into the travel industry every year). In today’s political climate, it’s more important than ever to get out and travel, meet different people, and immerse yourself in diverse cultures. It allows us to gain perspective and see ourselves as just a part of humanity; something to keep you modest, keep you grounded, and keep you connected to what’s REAL! We love the way Evita embodies this, and we know you are all going to love her. We discuss… A stark view of how people of color are underrepresented in the travel industry The highs and lows of NOMADNESS’ group travel events (but mostly highs) How NOMADNESS came to be Reverse culture shock: when home feels like a foreign country How Evita approaches building a community Navigating a new challenge + stepping into your light How social media changed travel Evita’s relationship with spirituality The Airbnb experience for people of color + partnering with Airbnb Why you need people of color in your marketing teams + HR Creating safe + sacred spaces What’s next for NOMADNESS: the first U.S. festival for travelers of color!

While in Seattle, Lindsey + Krista had the privilege of hanging out with one of the city’s most influential and controversial figures: Dan Savage, the bestselling author, sex columnist, and activist for the LGBTQ community. Dan was so incredibly authentic, honest, and open during this conversation, and we are so happy to have explored some topics that we’ve never had the opportunity to cover in our show. Sometimes these conversations aren’t just fun, but completely change the way we perceive our world – and this is definitely one of those episodes. You can find Dan sharing more of his thoughts and providing advice in the “Savage Love” column, his latest best-selling book American Savage, and in the Savage Lovecast. Dan doesn’t hold back and he has a lot to say, so get excited for some Savage Love! We talk about… Why Dan lives in Seattle The hardest thing Dan has ever had to do in his life Dealing with criticism Dan Savage in his early 20s Slut shaming Why and how we’ve made monogamy such a big deal in our society (and how that causes problems) People opening up about their kinks Starting the It Gets Better Project 10 years ago & where it is now Where Dan gets his news Hump: America’s best dirty film festival Dan’s advice for his 20-year-old self Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

Alok Vaid-Menon is a gender non-conforming performance artist, writer, and educator. Taken from Alok’s own writing “In a world that requires everyone to 'pass' within two discrete categories of 'man' OR 'woman' what would it mean for gender non-conformity to be regarded as beautiful, desirable, legitimate, and worthy?”. They are performing, speaking, and writing from their soul to connect through differences and challenge the archaic social construct that is gender. Alok is so comfortable in their skin and their glam, and the confidence is infectious! We had a ton of fun chatting with them, soaking in their poetic words – and we know you’re going to leave this episode with a little bit more hope, a little bit more inspiration, and new ways to challenge the current paradigm! We talk about… The ins and outs of your passion being your business Growing up (emotionally repressed) in a small Texas town Southern “politeness” Balancing being a strong example for others + being a complex, flawed human Why it hurts when we turn someone into a metaphor and a symbol Visibility does not mean safety for women and trans people Where Alok developed their emotional vocabulary Gender + shame Learning not to fear their own gender nonconformity The psychology of fascism Why Alok is frustrated by the individualism of self-care The people who bully us want to be us Aesthetics as political resistance Violence against gender non-conforming individuals has escalated over the past few years What we can all do, every day, to challenge the current paradigm Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

Stewart Pearce is a world-renowned voice coach, an intuitive, and a seer of forty years. He was the highlight of a SoulCycle Legends retreat that Lindsey attended and, after teaching her how to find her true tone, we knew we had to introduce Stewart to all of you.. How many of us have a different voice that answers the phone, that leads meetings, that talks to a partner, that talks to children? Kind of crazy right? As women, we often pitch up to sound more lady-like--yet, disconnected from our belly breath and gut instinct. Your voice is connected to so much more than just your larynx – it’s deeply emotional + spiritual, and today we explore the dynamics of that relationship. We wanted to know what it meant and what it felt like to express from your true tone. Also, as a special treat, Stewart leads us through a beautiful meditation in finding our true note! We talk about… Expressing your highest self Stewart’s ethereal experience with sound Growing up synaesthetic Grounding yourself in the human experience The relationship between exploring your sexual being + the development of your voice Being a spiritual being having a human experience How our relationships with the people around us affect our voice Why we need to meditate The physicality of your voice Grounding yourself Stewart’s relationship with Princess Diana Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

Today we chat with a great friend of ours, Lynnette Astaire, the Founder of Superfood School. Lynnette has an incredible story and a fascinating relationship with food, a tool she’s used to overcome PCOS and radiate from the inside out. Just as a disclaimer for this episode: we talk a lot about juice fasting, but we’re not pushing anything or suggesting anyone do a fast necessarily. Our philosophy is always do what is best for your body! But Lynette’s take on fasting and the science behind it is unique. We loved digging into the mental and spiritual awakenings she experiences during her fasts. We talk about... Lynnette’s famous green juice The two different types of juicers Why the most important part of a fast is how you break it Lynnette’s journey with food An entrepreneurial Rice Krispie Treat story Learning how to run a franchise The origins of Superfood School Lynnette’s favorite superfoods What you can do to get the nutrients you need when life is just too busy The controversy around smoothies + juice fasting How to break a sugar addiction Impossible Burger VS Beyond Burger What makes a healthy snack bar?

A few weeks ago, Lindsey + Krista had the pleasure of hosting a live conversation and Q+A with John Wineland, a transformational relationship expert, a spiritual intimacy teacher, and the guest on episode 96 + episode 97 of this show. John led the audience through a conversation about practicing the art of embodiment, intimate communication, and feeling for better relationships and a deeper connection in your love life. And as always, #ALMOST30NATION was so open and vulnerable with their questions. Questions answered touched on topics like intimacy and dating, the energetic dynamics of a relationship, sex, and so much more. (Of course, we’ll also be chatting all about it in the Secret Facebook Group!) We discuss… The 3 layers of sex: physical, emotional, & energetic Masculine essence + sex Yogic practices for strengthening your consciousness + turning your body into an invitation for love Do you have a masculine or feminine energy? Maybe both? Cultivating both your feminine + your masculine You can have a conscious one night stand How to live thriving, energized lives aligned with a deep purpose Invaluable tools that evoke the best from your partners for years to come How to reinvigorate relationships full of love, connection – and sex!

Thais Sky is a truth speaker, healer, women's coach, and feminist on a heart-led mission to have important conversations at the intersection of feminism + spirituality, and today she’s re-joining Lindsey + Krista to once again tackle some really big questions: How can we begin to dismantle our unconscious biases? How can we all be better allies to one another? And how can we provide a safe space for more conversations like these? We are constantly striving to evolve ourselves and this show by bringing more diverse voices into the conversation –as always, we are learning right along with you all. So thank you for being to open and vulnerable This episode includes… Opportunities for growth Being addicted to our shitty thoughts + shitty people Trying not to compartmentalize our own spirituality Feeling unworthy of your own self-care We can't show up for others if we’re not showing up for ourselves. Everything is about power dynamics The governmental + societal systems that keep certain groups of people oppressed How white women contribute to + benefit from racism How we can REALLY educate ourselves about systematic oppression + privilege If you don’t look at a wound, if you don’t take care of it, it’s going to get worse As privileged white girls, what is our place in the conversation? With privilege comes responsibility Living in an emotionally illiterate culture “You can’t love other people until you love yourself” sounds really nice – but that’s not necessarily the case!

Carly’s story also has a way of making you want to keep bees, too! Should we?!?! She’s so smart, so kind, and on a mission to #savethebees.
