771. Our Book Is Out (!!) + A Love Letter to the Ones Still Figuring It Out

In this solo episode, Krista talks about how relationship (whether friendship, romantic or familial) breakups and endings can provide you with an opportunity to grow and be who you really are, as well as reclaim the parts of you that have been lost and step into more magnetism and truth.  Recently, she vulnerably shared about the ending of her 10-year partnership and in this episode, she dives into conscious uncoupling. Instead of trying to be perfect or make someone else be perfect, sometimes setting each other free is the greatest act of love. In the end, if it’s best for you, it’s best for them too.  While your decisions might not make sense to others, if you hear the call, it's important to listen, process and act on your truth.  We also talk about: Ending relationships  Stepping into truth + love  Respecting the process How to support your friends  Making hard decisions Letting go of people pleasing tendencies Being yourself in relationships How perfectionism is not love Liberating the other person + yourself  Resources: Instagram: @itskrista Related Program: The Sacredness of Being Single Related Episode: How to Know and When to Let Go Sponsors: CURED | Grab Zen and CBN in the Sleep Bundle for an extra 20% off of CURED’s already discounted price by visiting curednutrition.com/almost30 and using the coupon code “ALMOST30” at checkout.  IQ Bar | Get 20% off all IQBAR products.

It’s no surprise to the Almost 30 community that your childhood trauma and wounds can shape your adult life. Vienna Pharaon knows this all too well. A licensed marriage and family therapist, and one of New York City’s most sought-after relationship therapists, she has practiced therapy for more than fifteen years and is the founder and owner of the group practice Mindful Marriage and Family Therapy.  Today, she joins Krista on the show to discuss her first book, The Origins of You. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been in therapy for decades, or if therapy just isn’t for you. It doesn’t matter if you have countless memories from childhood, or none at all. All that matters is having a willingness to look inside, dig deep, and commit to building the life you want.  In this episode, Krista and Vienna discuss how to fully understand the family dynamics and dysfunctions that created what she calls “origin wounds,” as well as the practical work needed to heal our wounds and leave behind the limiting beliefs and behaviors that don’t serve us. We also talk about: Why the “firsts” in your life are important Understanding your family patterns  Remembering your childhood wounds  Fear about recalling the past  What it means to be hypervigilant Living in victim mentality + avoiding healing How there will always be a need to heal + grow  Examples of people unpacking their wounds Resources: Instagram: @mindfulmft    Facebook: Mindful Marriage and Family Therapy Book: The Origins of You Sponsors: Vive Organic | Visit viveorganic.com and use code ALMOST30 at checkout for 15% off your first product.

Are you jealous of something or someone? What scares you? Where do you see friction in your life? As dreams grow, fears do too. Few know this as well as Mel Robbins. A New York Times Bestselling author and self-publishing phenom, Mel’s work includes The High 5 Habit, The 5 Second Rule, and The Mel Robbins Podcast. Her female-led media company produces provocative, life-changing content, with millions of books sold, billions of video views, six #1 audiobooks, and one of the most viewed TEDx talks in the world.   In this episode, Mel teaches us about unveiling desires, following dreams and shifting identities. And perhaps most importantly: calling your own bullshit.  We learn how to discover, follow and commit to what we truly want through emotions that are usually identified as negative. Mel opens up about the courage it took her to overcome imposter syndrome – in spite of being one of the most successful speakers – in order to launch her podcast and how she learned to liberate herself of labels. To put it simply, Mel and K+L covered and uncovered a lot, learned new tools and had major perspective shifts, and their hope is the same for you! We also talk about: Imposter syndrome Why your fears grow concurrently with your dreams Learning from jealousy How to get in touch with your true desires  Steps to approach your goals easily The research behind procrastination  The science behind motivating yourself Moving into a space of self-love and motivation Learning attachment styles in relationships  The truth behind narcissism and narcissistic tendencies  How social media affects our interpersonal connections Why adult friendships are so hard  The natural evolution of friendship   Resources: The Mel Robbins Podcast: Listen on Apple or Spotify YouTube: @melrobbins Instagram: melrobbins Website: melrobbins.com Books: melrobbins.com/books   Episode Related Resources:  Blog: Change Your Life With The High 5 Habit from Mel Robbins Watch Episode 460 on YouTube Listen to Episode 460 on Apple Podcasts or Spotify   Sponsors: The Invitation | A Relationship Breakup Series.

Do you resist slowing down?  In this solo episode, Lindsey shares how slowing down has opened her heart and is the key to unlocking so much happiness, creativity, connectivity and more. While she still faces waves of feeling like she is falling behind, she has learned to fully receive the flow state that comes when you slow down your day-to-day and live more intentionally. Lindsey offers tangible steps so you too can practice more mindfulness and not just check a box for the sake of it. She gets real about her relationship with social media and how important it is to lessen the noise, so you can connect with your true self. Remember, slowing down is your birthright.  We also talk about: Defining productivity Keeping your heart open Why are you afraid to slow down?
