Ep. 90 - Almost 30 Recap Part 2

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. This episode’s conversation includes…   How propolis changed Carly’s life + not being able to find any in Vancouver inspired her to start Beekeeper’s Naturals Falling in love with beekeeping The female-driven bee society Why “organic” honey is actually extremely difficult to produce (even if it’s made on an organic farm) Why we’re losing a disproportionate number of bees – and why that’s a HUGE problem! All the bee products: propolis, pollen, honey, and royal jelly Why Carly washes her face with honey The benefits of CBD + how BKD created a unique CBD honey Building up the Beekeeper’s Naturals business Finding your dream job The hardest part of running BKN How you can turn your vision + passion into a business Learning to ignore the BS stories we tell ourselves that hold us back How Beekeeper’s Naturals will change the world (and how you can help)   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more | beekeepersnaturals.com BKN on Instagram | @beekeepers_naturals Carly on Instagram | @stein.carly Chosen Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off at chosenfoods.com/almost30 Mowellens | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off your first purchase at mowellens.com Dirty Lemon | Use code ALMOST30 for 1 FREE case in your first order at dirtylemon.com Four Sigmatic | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your order at foursigmatic.com/almost30 Kopari | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% your first order at koparibeauty.com The Almost 30 Podcast is edited by Podcast Masters 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.

So many people in the Secret Facebook Group have been talking about it, so today #ALMOST30NATION is invading Bachelorette Nation for a conversation with Eric Bigger, previously a cast member on The Bachelorette Season 13, currently a cast member on Bachelor in Paradise Season 5 (which just premiered on August 7th) – and so so so much more than that!   Eric offers us a peek behind the scenes of a reality TV show, dishes on all the dirt, and offers an interesting perspective on the lack of diversity in shows like these.

We also chat about...   Krista + Eric have the same birthday Dating on TV + in the real world Listening to understand, not be understood Being “emotion rich” (as opposed to material rich) Understanding why people cheat Commitment isn’t the same thing for everyone Connecting with the other men on The Bachelorette Being told to “tone it down” + “not be too deep” Becoming a new-age role model Diversity in Reality TV What Eric does at the end of day What The Bachelorette house is like on a day-to-day basis The 600-question questionnaire contestants have to fill out How being on The Bachelorette has affected Eric’s dating life   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Instagram | @ericbigger Facebook | facebook.com/EricBiggerpositivity Twitter | @Eric_Bigger Listen on Apple Podcasts | Bigger Talks with Eric Bigger Read | The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav Poo~Pourri | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off at poopourri.com Kopari | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% your first order at koparibeauty.com Chosen Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off at chosenfoods.com/almost30 Simple Contacts | Use code ALMOST30 to save $20 at simplecontacts.com/almost30 Skinny Dipped | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% off at skinnydipped.com The Almost 30 Podcast is edited by Podcast Masters 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.

You’ve probably already heard of Dave Asprey, or at least Bulletproof Coffee and the Bulletproof Diet. It’s pretty much grown from a trend to a phenomenon over the past couple years.

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?
