Almost 30

This conversation with Thais Sky left Krista and Lindsey with their jaws on the floor. TRUTH TALK AT ITS REALEST. The girls welcome this "esteemed women's leadership expert, international speaker and mindfulness teacher whose empathetic approach to worthiness, confidence and emotions have taken her through the healing of her own childhood trauma into a healing career, as well as into the study of cognitive psychology, neurology, spirituality, sociology and spiritual psychology". THAIS IS NEXT LEVEL WOKE. Her emotional connection to helping women reclaim not only their feminine power, but their human worthiness is palpable when she speaks. Thais is a force to be felt and a voice to be heard. Washingtonian Magazine named her as one of the top “8 bloggers to know.” The Huffington Post calls her “an inspirational woman” and she was nominated for Forbes Magazine 30 under 30 award. .....AND THIS IS JUST BEGINNING. This conversation is the definition of FLOW, truly a dreamy inspirational conversation for the girls. They discuss: why being kind to yourself is the path to self-empowerment how the woman's voice is going to shift the state of this world why noticing the lens we where will wake you up and stir your power to change the world why forcing ourselves to be positive is counterproductive practical ways to up-level your life and align with your purpose how giving yourself permission to feel the low will move you to a place of high vibration how to knock down self-constructed barriers, like guilt, and shift into a state of inner peace and confidence how Thais' healing journey is the foundation for her success as a coach + so much more.

Ever heard of the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui?! It's not some crazy interior design technique people have used for centuries. It's a way of cleaning your space AND your life! To dive further into what this technique and practice is all about, Krista and Linds sat down this week with Feng Shui expert and personal curator, DANA CLAUDAT. Dana studied Art History at Stanford University and then moved on to become a Pyramid School Feng Shui consultant. Krista and Linds literally asked her, "DANA TEACH US YOUR WAYS." Because it's about time we all learned about how bomb feng shui is ... Feng Shui means "wind" and "water", so it's all about BALANCE. And in ancient times, it was all about survival and structure of your home in relation to the wind, weather, geography, and water.

She also breaks down the stereotypes of feng shui, everything from how strict it is and what are the rules. Ways to make any space feel better! Big ... small ... doesn't matter, Dana's got you.

Once again, Linds and Krista bring on the best of the health, wellness, and body positivity industries. This week's guest is DANIKA BRYSHA, a curve model with IMG Models, the CEO of Model Meals, a leader in the health and wellness world, and an inspirational rockstar for everyone. Danika has been featured in InStyle, Shape, PopSugar, People, and many more publications. Her story has inspired thousands of women who are struggling with loving their body, their relationship with food and addiction, and transforming their lives. Danika shares her story, which starts at a young age, battling drug usage, fad chronic dieting, and being "the chubby girl", using her food to process her emotions.

Some of the most useful food/body tips you'll ever hear from this episode are: drop the FOOD RULES the answer to losing weight is "NOT trying to lose weight" it's never about the food, it's about YOU (your childhood, you mentality about yourself growing up, specific circumstances you were under) don't waste your energy on worrying about food, worry about YOUR DREAMS it's about how you FEEL after you eat food how much the MEDIA REALLY INFLUENCES the way you think about yourself This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Pick a card, any card ... because on this week's episode we are joined by shamanic energy medicine practitioner, the official shaman for VOGUE Magazine, and founder of STYLE RITUALS, COLLEEN MCCANN. If you're into crystals, tarot readings, spirituality, intuition, spirits, ghosts, EVERYTHING MAGIC, this episode is for YOU. So for those of you who are new to the tarot card and crystal thing thing, it's basically a visual narrative of your past life, your current life, and your future life, as well as the emotions you are currently dealing with. Krista got a past life card, and she's pretty sure she's dealing with some karmic debt, while Lindsey got a Five of Cups card, meaning she's got plenty o' abundance. On the other hand, shamans are conduits to things people can't see in the unseen world, and provide messages and healing to those who need it. Shamans can realize they have their gifts at any age, and Miss McCann realized her's in her late twenties. From hearing voices constantly, having premonition dreams, seeing ghosts, and having other healers tell her she had a gift, Colleen knew she had to listen to the voices and put her 15 plus year in the fashion industry to an end. Although Krista, Linds, and Colleen go over a plethora of spirituality- related topics in this episode, the main takeaway is the importance of dabbling in various practices before you find the one you like. Or the one that "speaks" to you.

CALLING ALL WOMEN WHO FEEL THAT THEY ARE DESTINED FOR GREATNESS. Seriously, don't look around. That's YOU. Hi! You don't have to apologize for feeling that innate fire and pull toward something bigger. Give this episode your full attention--you'll be given permission to take ownership of your dreams. This week the girls are so excited to be sharing their interview with LORI HARDER. Lori is the host of the Earn Your Happy Podcast, founder of The Bliss Project, author, cover model, three-time fitness world champion, a "self-love junkie", and a woman at the forefront of the "women supporting women" movement. Her path to success has been a beautiful zigzag of highs and lows, revelations and resistance, self-love and overflowing generosity. As Janet Jackson says, "WE GO DEEP"...(love you Janet). Here's what we discuss: How to receive what you need when swimming through the sea of self love books, guru's, programs, video's, practices, etc. Who was early 20's Lori and what did she learn in order to stand in her light and success now When she left home at 18 to essentially break the rules of her religious upbringing to eventually experience the wake-up calls needed to find the freedom and inspiration to follow the call of her soul to do big things How fitness saved her life Why she was the most sad and lonely at the height of her fitness competition career How paying it forward can shift your mindset Why the body doesn't change if the mind doesn't change Her commitment to being a forever student How to effectively set and achieve your goals How writing her book is forcing her to sit with her story and unwrap and reflect on everything and everyone that have brought her to this point If you connected with this episode, send to a friend who you know would connect with it, too.

This week's episode is based off of 2 words: HUMAN DESIGN. No, it's not an anatomy class or a biology lesson. It's all about YOU. Your body, your mind, but most importantly, your AURA and ASTROLOGICAL MAKE-UP. Okay, still confused? Krista and Lindsey each receive a human design reading from an expert and spiritual goddess, JENNA ZOE. She spends this episode showing off her craft by helping the ladies make life decisions, control their minds, and get in touch with their bodies. Human Design uses your birth time and place to calculate your personal Human Design chart. In this calculation, the positions of Sun, Moon, and planets at the time of your birth play an important role. Astrology also uses the birth time and place to generate your natal chart, but it interprets the data differently – and Human Design is not astrology. Time to get ANTHROPOMORPHIC (In the words of our lovely guest)! Human Design calculates two moments in time. Our birth, which determines our conscious definition and a moment approximately 88 days before our birth (exactly 88 degrees of the sun before the moment of our birth), which determines our unconscious definition. The second; the pre-natal calculation is unique and crucial part of the Human Design revelation. Miss Jenna Zoe also breaks down the 4 TYPES OF HUMAN BEINGS manifestos generators projectors reflectors Definitely a note-taking episode, but an insightful one at that!

Krista and Lindsey also bring in a STELLAR caller, Nicole from Boston, who get's real and to the point right away (she get's it).

YOU GUYS, Steve, our angel baby sound technician, is our special guest this week (and his RAD tunes close out the episode). How the heck do you make new friends as an adult? It's awkward AF sometimes, no? You might have "enough" friends, or you might be in a new city and want to make some new ones, or you might be meeting the same type of people over and over. Wherever you find yourself on this spectrum, this episode will inspire you to get out there. The trio compiles a list that you can look to the next time you're bored, lonely, sick of the same old group, alone at the bar. How about shaking up your routine and following your bliss, mimicking children and not giving a f*ck? Plus, Steve shares his beautifully weird way of attracting new friends, Krista recounts her session with a hypnotherapist that helped her understand the role her energy plays in attracting new people into her life, and Lindsey shares her experience meeting friends on the DM (hehe).

This weeks' podcast is back with the classic format, both Krista and Lindsey are together this week to chat about their youth, and what it REALLY means to be an awkward kid. Like, no teeth, and LICE vibes. Sexy, right? Starting out we talk about what to do when you're not feeling 'hundred'. Forcing or fronting a feeling isn't needed. When the holiday season is in full swing, tensions are high and it's challenging to stay grounded. There is a tendency to over commit, and overworked. When you're working all year and losing inspiration, as a creative, it's challenging to find that spark and that excitement and bring it everyday. The girls talk strategies to stay motivated, grounded and inspired. No matter what field you're in, staying 'inspired' means staying in the game of life. Our question this week comes from a listener who is writing in about a mysterious object found in...um....her lady parts. After that initial shock they run through the real question, about expectations, and what each one of us 'deserves' in relationships. It's another buffet of hilarious stories, and relevant insights from The Almost 30 crew. Thanks for subscribing, rating and reviewing! We love you!

Cleavage, man. Too much is always enough. And not enough, always has intention. In the candid opening of this weeks Almost 30, Krista and Lindsey reflect on their cleavage practices back in the day and how it serves them now. It's been way too long since the girls have shared their "20's Us, 30's Us". Halloween gave Krista some serious inspiration. Hey ladies, still have that 'slutty inmate' costume in a plastic bin under your bed just in case? Fella's, admit it, how confused/disturbed were you by girls' attempts at 'sexy grandma'. Krista reflects on Halloween past and present. The two are alarmingly/thankfully very different. Lindsey remembers her late night eating habits in her early 20's...Turkey and Eggo Waffles anyone? She talks about her current commitment to a more mindful relationship with food. This week the girls call a listener from Utah! UTAH! Ali's question about the law of attraction develops into a full blown discussion about manifestation, cultivating your tribe, and how you are the average of the five people you spend most of your time with.

We'd like to interrupt this week's show notes with a quick disclaimer regarding the first 8 minutes of this episode: The sound is gently distorted by the sweet aliens that were helping to connect Le sweat in NYC to Almost 30 in LA. Feel free to skip over the part where Lindsey messaged some guy on Instagram because he had beautiful succulents. THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL, OKAY!? Around, the 8 minute mark, all is right in the world. This week Almost 30 welcomes the ladies behind Le Sweat, a fresh online publication that shakes up the idea of 'working out'. Charlee Atkins, an uber popular SoulCycle Instructor and fitness model, and Meridith Miller, a lady boss of partnerships at Twitter, are exploring their own idea of "working on working out". The physical sweat is just the beginning. The ladies talk 'inner-cising', being alone (not lonely), social media, knowing thyself after the end of a long-term relationship, why everyone should take a friend-moon, their popular articles filed under "Stroke His Ego", and how Charlee and Meredith are already OWNING their 30's. This one is candid and inspiring. After you listen, check out www.le-sweat.com!

The girls have a very candid conversation about rejection. Krista shares what it was like auditioning for SoulCycle, what she learned, how she was redirected, and how it helped to pave the path to her successful blog. Lindsey shares how putting herself in front of rejection more often (auditions, auditions, auditions) creates a healthy non-attachment to the outcome so that her pursuit is always exciting. They discuss the "something greater" that is at work, the challenge to trust it, and what happens when our preparation meets it. If you are experiencing rejection in your career, romantic relationships, family life, in the pursuit of your dreams, internally between you and you....YOU WILL RELATE.

The topic table is a BUFFET this week. Krista and Lindsey share their "Hundred, NOT Hundred's". Lindsey got a haircut, so tell ya friends. But on a note that is so typical/weird us: Who would have thought that finding out what your moon sign is would open up a whole new world of understanding? Like, "OH WOW I become two different people when someone calls me on my sh*t" becomes less psycho and more acceptable when you are able to lean on your astrological moon sign. The girls also celebrate and talk about the importance of cultivating a tribe of people that support and lift you up, that give you permission to be vulnerable and open, and that acknowledge your vision and give it light. Their NOT HUNDRED's are pretty darn relevant . Let's just say they talk the circus that is the 2016 election, as well as the moment your "EX" finds a new gf/bf. *GASP* FINALLY. GHOSTING. What the heck is that? What qualifies as "ghosting"? Have we done it? Have we been ghosted? What is acceptable? How does one prevent the ghost? We get a call from a listener. She has just experienced a pretty gnarly case of ghostage. Sound guy, Steve, was apparently just ghosted last week. We come together as a fam and figure out what the EFF is going on here.

Finally, a listener has written in asking the girls for their advice on letting go of friends as an adult. The girls talk redirection, priority shifts, dwindling common interests, and more.

In this episode of Almost 30, Lindsey and Krista interview each other. You'd think they know everything about one another, but the coolest part of friendship is finding out new sh*t about the other person every time you are together. You know!?

Lindsey explains how attending an all-girls, private, Catholic school shaped who she is today, Krista gives us her vision of where she will be in ten years, and SO much more.
