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. We also discuss... Looking back at Sahara’s transition from her first book to her second What tri-doshic cooking is The 6 tastes in Ayurveda Sahara’s favorite recipes in her cookbook Tips on creating powerful passive income Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

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!!

Sebastian’s priorities shifted and he dedicated his time to his list.

#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!

Alix Peabody founded Bev, the rosé “made by chicks” and drank by, well, anyone who enjoys a tasty rosé wine! We admire the way that Alix walks the walk and talks the talk, nurturing Bev into not just a beverage company but also a mission-driven brand dedicated to female empowerment. Her story is wild, and she’s been a mentor to us over the past few crazy months. She’s helping us grow and spread our wings – and we know she’ll be an expander for you too! We discuss… The Bev mission statement Going on destination first dates (like Hawaii with a guy you’ve never met before) How the male-dominated social scene in college led Alix down the path to starting Bev Experiencing ovarian torsion Creating the first bar designed with women in mind Investing her 401k into rosé Finding a wine supplier on Hinge Attending four high schools in three countries The loophole that allows Bev to sell wine directly to consumers, without a distributor What people don’t see in building a business Working in and running a business with radical transparency Knowing your worth 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.

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 Stein lives and breathes bees. She is a beekeeper herself, an advocate for saving the bees (and our food supply) through sustainable beekeeping, and the Founder + CEO of Beekeeper’s Naturals. If you haven’t heard of it yet, Beekeeper’s Naturals is an incredible company with a simple purpose: to bring us the highest quality products from the hive and nurture a greater awareness for saving our bees. Their naturally-sourced superfoods are effective alternatives to some of your typical, chemical-based OTC medicines – and these superfoods have become an important part of Lindsey + Krista’s daily routines as of late, helping them feel their best by leveraging the magic of nature! 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.

You may not know it (at least not yet), but your family story might be the one thing holding you back from success. We can’t change our parents or our family – and we can’t change what’s already happened – but we can change our perception around it. Unresolved traumatic events in your family can hinder how happiness and success flow to us in the present and future. Marine Sélénée is a Family Constellations specialist who is dedicated to bringing peace, love, and respect to families. Krista + Lindsey can attest that Family Constellations will help you break free from any negative painful patterns – and it will be life changing. After hitting rock bottom at the age of 25, Marine started her own healing journey and discovered the power of Family Constellations firsthand. Now she shares that gift with others, helping people finally bring order back to their lives, make peace with what was, and accept what they did receive and did not receive. We talk about… Moving from France to the U.S. Hitting rock bottom at the age of 25 + going through a spiritual awakening Starving to be be seen, to be heard, and to be recognized Everyone has a different perception Why you can’t heal unconscious, underlying problems in your family – you need to unearth them The little boy or girl inside of you who is just waiting to be seen or heard Storing trauma in your body + healing it When a mom or dad might need their kid to take care of them How to discover what affected you subconsciously Why parents need to respect their children enough to tell them the truth, even when it’s hard How you can be impacted by past generations, beyond your mother and father Practicing acceptance + respect Do we choose our parents?

Last time Lindsey + Krista talked to Lacy Phillips, the creative spirit and Manifestation Advisor behind Free and Native, she taught us how to manifest our dream lives. It was a life-changing conversation and we are all honored by the incredible support that #ALMOST30NATION has offered Lacy since. But we had to have Lacy back on the show because she has come so far since we last spoke to her! One of Lacy’s gifts (and one of the reasons we love her so much) is that she’s an expander... she’s just so grounded and real, so comforting and inspiring, constantly holding a space for others to realize their own sense of self. We can’t say enough good things about her and we know this episode is going to change lives! We discuss… Overcoming whatever is blocking your opulence + abundance De-conditioning what we’ve learned about money Closing the portals in your life that don’t serve you Unblocking your shadow Filling the void in manifestation education Understanding the energetics of manifestation Finding expanders How to differentiate between a sign and a test An exercise you can do to tap into your body + practice intuiting The 4 elements of pure magnetism Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

This episode has pretty much everything you could want out of a podcast: it’s natural, hilarious, interesting, fun, and with just a little bit of poop. That’s because Krista + Lindsey got to sit down with Suzy Batiz, creator of Poo-Pourri. After her second bankruptcy at 40, Suzy embarked on a spiritual quest and discovered the lost art of tapping the body for stored creativity and ideas. She grew Poo-Pourri into a $300M+ business using a combination of somatic training, quantum physics, and interpersonal evolutionary processes, which she’s dubbed the Radical Resonance System. We definitely spend some time talking about the product and what it’s like to be a female founder, but things get a lot deeper than that – there’s even an absolutely incredible ghost story that Lindsey + Krista can not stop sharing at parties! And if you’ll be near Dallas on Tuesday, September 25th, you can catch Lindsey, Krista, and Suzy LIVE! Click here to get your tickets now!! This episode includes… Suzy’s awesome experiences with ayahuasca Healing the wounds of an abusive and tumultuous childhood Finding the light to physical and spiritual wellness Coming up with (and being drawn towards) the idea for Poo-Pourri Overcoming two bankruptcies Why Suzy never says she’s sorry for saying no The 4 signs of resonance Suzy’s relationship with fear + how she accepts those thoughts Bringing a conscious lifestyle into your business culture Conscious parenting Why there have to be aliens Talking about taboo topics + the (often hilarious) poop stories that Suzy hears every day Living in a church Suzy’s relationship with the spirits in her home How JP Sears has inspired Suzy Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

Almost 30 is all about tools, tricks, and insights that anyone can use to feel happier and more aligned as they navigate the big transitions in their life… but we’ve never really talked about WHY people feel happy. Like what’s going in these mammal brains of ours? So Lindsey + Krista sat down with Loretta Breuning, PhD, a professor, an author, and the Founder of The Inner Mammal Institute. Loretta teaches people how to build power over their mammalian brain chemistry and understand nature’s operating system. Because if we understand the science of what’s happening when we form habits or feel a certain way, we have the power to manipulate those chemicals, rewire our brains, and ultimately, live a better life. Are you ready to make peace with your inner mammal? We discuss… Early brain development Why it’s so difficult to create new neural pathways in our brains after puberty Our impulse to want more Serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, & endorphin The medical model VS the animal world Ups + downs being NORMAL Do animals have memories like we do? Why the size of your brain directly correlates to the length of childhood (and the animal with the biggest brain) The amazing miracle of reproduction Breaking an addictive habit Getting back to neutral after experiencing trauma Endorphins + GABA Every single person being wired for an individual experience (and feeling a little different from the herd) Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

Krista + Lindsey have been dying to talk about dreams forever, so they put the call out there and manifested the lovely Connie Kaplan. Connie is a spiritual mentor who teaches dreaming as a spiritual practice and a unique form of theology, which centers around an understanding of each person’s life purpose. Connie found her calling after contracting a mysterious virus and spending nearly two years of her life in bed. She slept, and she slept and slept and slept, and she experienced a profound spiritual transformation which altered not only her inner experience of life but her outer expression of life. We kind of pass dreams off as being silly, crazy, or dumb, but they have a deep meaning and purpose. We spend half of our lives in this unconscious state – there’s so much happening and so much to be learned, if we choose to take control of it and use it as a method to transform. This conversation gets a little out there, but you know us! We talk about… The illness that changed Connie’s life How the moon affects our dreams + tracking your dreams according to the lunar cycle Everyone’s unique dreaming pattern Dreaming to heal Collective dreams about 9/11 How dreams allow our subconscious minds to communicate with the collective energies Heather’s dream pillow The 13 different types of dreams Menstruation + dreams The unique chakra system that Connie received as a download Doing the subconscious work Jungian vs Freudian analysis Using a dream journal Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

Today’s episode is an important conversation. 1 in 7 young people experience a mental illness in any given year, and far too many suffer in silence due to the stigma that surrounds mental health and lack of understanding. Sam Webb, Co-Founder of LIVIN.org, is on a mission to change this. Sam is championing a space where people feel comfortable talking about any mental health issues, and any emotions that feel so overwhelming you can’t cope with them on your own. He is a bright light that has experienced a lot of darkness. Since his best friends suicide, Sam has made it his mission to promote the mantra “It Ain’t Weak to Speak” to save others who might be suffering silently. Sam reminds us that that our presence, our listening and caring ear, our encouragement to find help, can change someone’s life. If you or anyone you know are having thoughts of suicide, there is always someone available to listen: Call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255 Or you can find additional resources at speakingofsuicide.com/resources We talk about… The tragic origin story of LIVIN Making the conversation around mental health cool Asking for help The lack of understanding around mental illness Sam’s own mental health journey The relationship between masculinity and silence Substance abuse and mental health The sleep deprivation epidemic Sam’s self-care routine Experiencing compassion fatigue Why listening is THE most important thing when someone is seeking support Giving people the tools to seek and help + identify warning signs Feeling alone being part of the mental health challenge Working with parents + helping them listen Finding the unique mental health “workout” that works best for you Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

As we approach (and pass) 30, a lot of us are thinking about our plans for conceiving – and, unfortunately, many of us are or will experience fertility issues! Most women assume that they’re fertile and can have a baby tomorrow, if they want to, but until you try to get pregnant or see a fertility expert, you just don't know. We want our listeners to be fully informed, PERIOD. So we dive into a topic that we believe is not being talked about enough—Fertility! The truths, the myths, and the incredible new options available due to advances in In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) procedures – and that’s why we sat down with our dear friend, Dr. Robert Anderson, a Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist & Founder of the Southern California Center for Reproductive Medicine.

On today’s episode, Krista and Lindsey are SO excited to introduce Manisha Thakor- the founder and CEO of MoneyZen Wealth Management and a "Wall Street Journal" expert panelist. She has an MBA from Harvard and possesses a wealth of experience in all things finance. She is regularly in the "New York Times" + "More Magazine" and on CNN + "The Today Show.” The conversation is empowering and eye-opening. The girls also open up about where they are personally struggling in their relationship with money. After all, they can’t be alone! They discuss... How this generation is the first to be dealing with unprecedented levels of student debt, and that this financial stress takes up MAJOR mental space and serves as a real distraction. Women and their changing relationship with finances- becoming primary breadwinners and stepping into our POWER. Women wanting to use their money to make a stand. For women, it’s not about how much we make, but about how we can make an impact with our finances while still being smart and receiving financial return. Tips for getting people on the front end of the funnel before even getting into student loan debt! Moreover, ways to climb out of debt once you’re already in the thick of it. Pursuing certain career paths where you can get loan forgiveness after you have gone through a certain number of years of teaching school in certain kinds of neighborhoods or doing more community oriented work. Manisha’s definition of what it means to possess financial strength. Approachable and salient definitions + metaphors for understanding financial terms that may intimidate those of us not in the know. Alternatively, “Male Speak” in finance. Shutting down your femininity or silencing yourself in “business” or “finance” settings to blend in and be more accepted- and the ways in which “me too” is changing this coping mechanism/default behavior! Manisha’s recommendation to read The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. How the third person in a committed romantic partnership is MONEY.
