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!

Candice Kumai is the “Golden Girl of Wellness,” a professionally trained chef, best-selling author, wellness + food director, influencer, speaker, and leading wellness journalist. She was constantly struggling against other people's fears and insecurities while trying to work in food TV, so she went out on her own to connect with her soul’s purpose. As always, this conversation organically flowed every which way—so grateful for Candice’s candidness. Candice’s new book, Kintsugi Wellness: The Japanese Art of Nourishing Mind, Body, and Spirit, is a beautiful homage to her heritage and an enlightening perspective on holistic wellness.

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.

It was such a joy + a pleasure to interview Lauren Schulte, the CEO + Founder of The FLEX Company. We totally went there in today’s episode! From how to insert the disc, to experiencing painful vaginal infections, and even chatting about the way partners (without vaginas) say they feel about supporting women through PMS symptoms - we covered it all! Lauren shares with us how she suffered in silence with intense period pain and subsequent infections. When Lauren’s doctor informed her that tampon usage could be culpable for her chronic issues, she quit using them immediately and tried more than 30 alternative feminine hygiene products from all over the world (including the menstrual cup). Already a successful businesswoman herself, Lauren ditched her career in Silicon Valley to meet a HUGE need in the female healthcare market. Lauren decided it was time to invest appropriate resources into creating a solution to the period woes women all around the world could identify with. A perfect storm of personal experience and business + marketing smarts, Lauren’s initiative has changed the menstruation game with the best alternative to using tampons! We discuss… FLEX - A new period product called a “menstrual disc.” Tampons and menstrual cups, by design, “plug up” the vagina (causing cramping + bloating), while menstrual discs are meant to sit higher up, much like a diaphragm How FLEX can be left in for 12 hours AND you can have sex while it’s inserted - no infections or cramps! The way tampons absorb all bacteria, including the GOOD bacteria, and can often lead to an imbalance (+ subsequent vaginal infections) Lauren’s transition from a career in Silicon Valley to becoming the Founder + CEO of a start-up (which included taking big risks + pitching to many male investors) Navigating the imposter syndrome as a female/Founder + CEO Addressing challenging relationship dynamics in the workplace through open and honest conversations (Lindsey + Krista also chime in on their experiences working together on Almost 30 Podcast) How to give feedback well (Hint - ALWAYS lead with inquiry) Men who feel afraid and embarrassed about not knowing how to help their girlfriends through intrusive PMS symptoms Being a leader - a people and performance manager - as the Founder + CEO and, thereafter, shaping the workplace culture Lauren’s TEDx talk (in the works) - She plans to present the sociological understanding that there is no such thing as “gay” or “straight,” but rather sexuality is a spectrum ( + her own experience falling in love with a woman) Men embracing their feminine energy in heterosexual relationships (not necessarily being effeminate) Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

If you haven’t already, you should check out Tuesday’s incredible episode to hear how Luke overcame almost two decades of addiction through spirituality + biohacking. Luke has been sober for more than 20 years, and in that time he’s used himself as a human research lab. He has explored a broad (and sometimes extreme) variety of measures to obtain optimal health, performance, and well-being. From surviving being injected with poisonous Amazonian frog venom to three-week silent meditation trainings in India to neurofeedback training in an isolation chamber, Luke has scoured the Earth for both the most cutting edge + ancient technologies for healing + personal transformation. Luke has applied the results of his field research and used them to not only completely transform his own life, but also the lives of thousands of fans and followers. We learn about… Having a potty mouth (and when to edit it) Luke’s journeys in the fashion world + podcast world Biohacking tips + tech you’ve probably never heard of before Being a truth seeker + just being REAL Why being inauthentic + judgemental is a waste of time Finding balance with an extreme lifestyle Relationships + intimacy Learn more at almost30podcast.com.

Ever wondered what it's actually like to "Follow The Yellow Brick Road"? Well, newsflash IT'S HARD WORK. And the hilarious and talented rising star, MIA SERAFINO is here to tell us why. We're in need of some serious everyday inspo so get ready for grounded girl talk with Mia, an actress who's been on Shameless, Saving Mr. Banks, Crowded, and you guessed it, Oz: The Great & Powerful. This episode is honest and hilarious. We talk about the true consistency it takes to get what you want when pursuing your dream, being an actress in a town like L.A, putting your head down and doing the work, her transition between her early 20's and her late 20's, the challenges of being female in the entertainment industry, doubling for Mila Kunis, and kissing Hugh Jackman. That's right, HUGH FUCKING JACKMAN. Who then became one of her major acting mentors. #SAME. Mia inspired us to the MAX, sharing her mantras that make her feel legitimate and confident in any situation. But in terms of the battle of balance - relationships, career, your craft, money, and everything in between - even if you're not an actress, this conversation is something that we can all relate to. Some goodies from this episode... "I never cared about being famous, I just wanted to be good." "The harder I worked, the luckier I got." "When you just make it about the work, nothing else matters."
