Krista explores how she approaches change in herself and in her relationships, how she balances not needing to change other people while not allowing herself to settle, and what we all can do to start creating the lives we always dreamed of. We also talk about: What Krista learned from her parents’ relationship Radical honesty Strategies for addressing problems in your relationships with compassion Taking responsibility for the energy you bring into a conversation Not being tied up in the outcome of your partner’s path Setting up boundaries Focusing on your personal change Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

CATCH UP WITH K + L Even though the state of the world is uneasy right now, people are supporting people in such a beautiful way — and K+L want to celebrate that! Remember, all of the things that are happening in the world right now will pass as we step into our light. If you need some support in these times, you can find a community of super supportive women in the secret Almost 30 Facebook groups. THE INTERVIEW Julie Nguyen lived the first 30 years of her life believing that her health problems were chronic and incurable. When she realized that changing her diet improved her mood, her eczema, her weight, and her happiness, she had to share that life-changing info with others. But she ran into a roadblock: healthy food has a branding problem, and the bland food churned out by the ‘health food’ industry isn’t doing anything to help it. Julie devoted her life to making healthy, tasty food and nutrition education more accessible through Methodology, an innovative company that delivers fresh, chef-curated food to your door. Not all heroes wear capes, and not all medicine comes in capsules. If you’d like to try Methodology, K + L have a promo code.

THE INTERVIEW Jen Gotch joined us just over a year ago for a really important conversation about mental health, figuring yourself out, and self-care.

The Upside of Being Down is an honest account of Jen’s mental health struggles and how that long journey, with all its ups and downs, led to her greatest successes in work and life. She is so inspiring and unapologetic about her life + gives a fresh take on what it’s like being a constant internal battle. We dive deep into what it’s like to push yourself in your career without sacrificing self-care, opening yourself up to receiving praise, and the value of learning to quit things just to prove to yourself that you can. We also talk about: Coming back to compassion Not changing yourself for others Opening up + being able to receive Self-care, self-love, + self-help Being able to separate yourself from negative thoughts Coping with emotional eating Changing your relationship with alcohol Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

THE INTERVIEW We are so glad to have author, filmmaker, health and science journalist Max Lugavere back on the show! Max’s new book, The Genius Life, is all about providing actionable research that anyone can use to start feeling stronger, happier, and healthier immediately. The truth is that most of us already know that there are things in our lives that we really shouldn’t put in, on, or around our bodies, but there’s such a disconnect between what we know and what we do. We dig into why this disconnect exists, break down what it means to live a genius life, argue the merits of plant-based diets, and learn the heart-wrenching story behind why Max became so invested in the relationship between our food and our cognition. We also talk about: How unhealthy foods often make the most outlandish health claims The plant-based trend The massive problem with food waste Why everyone should prioritize protein What to look for when you are consuming animal protein Integrating rest into your life + optimizing your sleep White fat vs brown fat The effects of melatonin on the body Toxins, plastics, + endocrine disruption Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

THE SOLO Raise your hand if you’ve ever been overwhelmed. 🙌 At some point or another it’s a feeling we’ve all had to uncomfortably confront — you’re not alone. In today’s solo episode with Lindsey, she shares how she has dealt with the feeling of overwhelm head on. Although it is tempting to avoid, Lindsey has learned to embrace the feeling because it is one of the most powerful opportunities for growth that the Universe gives us. When we’re open to understanding how and why it happens, we can harness that energy and turn it into something incredible. Lindsey has been feeling this ebb and flow of overwhelm over the past two years, and with that consistency, she had to ask: What is the purpose of this overwhelm? She shares the answers that came through during a channeled writing session with her higher self, why she avoided overwhelm for so long, and 3 tips for reframing the idea of being overwhelmed. We also talk about: Where we learn that overwhelm is bad How overwhelm is a challenge to our ego + why that’s a gift Doing the inner work necessary to understand why you are avoiding overwhelm Increasing your tolerance for overwhelm Using breathwork to center yourself Harnessing your daydreams Find more to love at almost30podcast.com! Love: Lindsey does online breathwork with her friend Bree Melanson. It’s digital so you can do it in the comfort of your own home. Check it out here!

THE INTERVIEW Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt joins us today for a conversation on forgiveness. Her new book, The Gift of Forgiveness, gives readers an opportunity to deeply understand the act of forgiving and how doing so can positively affect everyone involved. But let’s be real: Forgiveness is SO layered. It requires us to be vulnerable, release the ego, and allow change. Katherine’s book speaks to those layers and how we can work out our “forgiveness muscle” daily. Newly married, Katherine gushes about her relationship with Chris Pratt and shares how forgiveness will always play a huge role in their relationship. We are all going to be faced with opportunities to forgive, and Katherine’s hope is that, by reading the inspiring stories of those who were able to forgive in situations you wouldn’t imagine, you will be able to move forward in practicing forgiveness in your life. We also talk about: Her book, I Just Graduated… Now What? and why she felt inspired to speak to this formative time How Katherine got over her fear of sharing details about her life How forgiveness can be a gift you give yourself How to ask for help + advice when you need it The process of finding stories for her book The physicality of holding on to anger Times when you don’t have to forgive Forgiveness within relationships Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!
