Almost 30

There’s no smoke and mirrors when it comes to celebrity astrologer and spiritual influencer David Palmer, aka The Leo King, devoted truth-seeker and student of the stars. He was making waves on the astrological scene long before astrology morphed into the trending topic that it is, today.  So much of mainstream astrology orbits the specifics, leaving you sated but not wholly satisfied. David's profound strides towards the truth, however, push through the darkness, to search for the real deal.    Kristi, Lindsey, and David unpack science, the planets, pandemics, relationships, and God through the lens of astrology and piece together the multi-dimensional shifts we've been experiencing as a collective since 2012. After discussing the foundations of hermeticism and the outlook for 2021 (FYI: you're in for a wild ride), David dives into Almost 30's birth charts, examining K + L's astrological focus for the rest of the year.  We also talk about: Hermeticism and alchemy  Synchronicities in our collective search for truth  The 2021 forecast Death of relationships  Astrology’s connection to the divine  Examining our birth charts  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Lindsey walks through her experience with enmeshment and how she is processing behavioral patterns with her therapist and her loved ones. Through the support of a therapist, dedicated research, and breathwork, Lindsey has found liberation in setting boundaries with those closest to her and is reprogramming her brain to not seek outside validation at the expense of her own growth and happiness. Lindsey hopes this episode will inspire you to reflect on where enmeshment shows up in your life and seek the support necessary to step into your highest self.  We also talk about: Family enmeshment and self-advocacy Seeking outside validation Shame and guilt when you choose to against the grain How enmeshment shows up as an adult  Self-abandonment  How I’m healing in real-time Find more to love at almost30.com!

In the first episode dedicated to the science of meditation, Lindsey and Krista connect with grounded guru and renowned meditation teacher, Emily Fletcher, (who’s had 50,000 students and counting). She’s also the founder of Ziva Meditation.  Emily delivers some serious science mic drops in the conversation as she dispels meditation myths that encourage the eye-roll response from naysayers when you say, “meditation changed your life.” The facts can’t be swept under the mediation cushion anymore because this s*** actually affects your brain chemistry and has been scientifically proven to turn you into a productive powerhouse.  Almost 30 decodes the cognitive benefits of meditation and how leaning into the practice can help you process your feelings (ugly crying included), listen to nature’s signals, and manifest from your highest, most present self.  We also talk about: Her breakdown in Broadway to her breakthrough in India  Myths around meditation How meditation impacts the physical body   Productivity and meditation  Meditation, manifestation, and the in-between  Toxic positivity and surrendering to your feelings  Meditating for the collective  Personal challenges  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Boundary boss babe, Terri Cole, has the last word when it comes to the power of personal boundaries. As a top psychotherapist, she’s helped thousands of women set and sustain effective boundaries with ease and grace for over two decades.  Her modern diagnosis of codependent behavior is going to hit home for so many of you out there who are seriously slaying it hard in life but become shrinking violets when it comes to articulating your needs with those closest to you — or feel shackled by the need/yearning to people-please, even at the expense of your sanity. We get it. We relate, and boy, have we been there! The good news is, there is a way out. Terri has it all mapped out in her boundary blueprint, Boundary Boss, right down to conversation scripts! In this episode, we deep dive into different boundary scenarios and how you can set limits with anyone using her specific set of tools to help you become the boss of you!

Arielle Lorre doesn’t put a Disney spin on anything. She’s a unique wellness and lifestyle influencer who candidly reveals the ebbs and flows of self-improvement with brutal honesty and vulnerability.  Her backstory is no fairytale. While most of her 20-somethings peers took a hop, skip, and a jump from graduating college to living their best SATC-style lives in NYC, Arielle was, at her lowest point, delirious in a 2-month blackout, snorting dust from the floor as she battered her body with alcohol and drugs. Seizures were the norm, as were half-ditched attempts at rehab between the ages of 20 to 28.  Today, she unpacks her journey from addiction to recovery and the stepping stones it took her to get to where she is today – 7 years sober, happily married, and a bad-ass entrepreneur dedicated to living her best life possible, which now includes meditation, morning Matcha, intuitive eating – and a little cosmetic surgery along the way! We also talk about: The roots of her addiction The rehab and relapse cycle  Rock bottom and rehabilitation process Sobriety and the importance of her support system  Spirituality, community, and Transcendental Meditation  Starting a high-profile relationship in the public eye Body healing, eating habits, and diet journey  Evolving with her audience Cosmetic surgery and self-love Morning routines Find more to love at almost30.com!

As females, our plates are full – with spiked-up hormones, food drama, mommy pressures, and family dynamics. No one understands this more than Kelly, and she encourages her clients to check in with their mental well-being as much as their shopping list. Her Body Love Journal is a beautiful opportunity to reflect on your relationship with food and celebrate life’s little treasures along the way.  We love chatting with Kelly LeVeque – an OG guest and supporter of the podcast – and just marinating in her nutritional knowledge. Today she delivers the facts on clean water, salt intake, gluten, non-dairy milk – and how to deal with your partner’s penchant for pizza.  Proper body nourishment goes beyond food. Kelly unpacks how she released the mental residue from a traumatic birth and how non-science-based healing modalities transformed her life and approach with clients. In short, you can gulp all the green juice you want but can’t truly fill your cup without releasing energy/trauma and pain that’s carried subconsciously in the body.   We also talk about: Our relationship with food How to tackle mold damage in the home High-quality water and hydration benefits  Processing grief and trauma Preparing the body for pregnancy and birth  Embracing science and spirituality for self-care Motherhood pressures Aligning with your partner on wellness Kelly’s Body Love Journal  Gluten, non-dairy milk, and making healthy choices  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Everything is as it was, and everything has changed. Lindsey is closing the door on her LA chapter and moving back to New York. Krista is contemplating motherhood and a potential move to Austin. Today, they give gratitude to the city that gifted them life-long connections, boundless creativity, and the opportunity to live out their authentic truth. Not to mention, drop woo-woo one-liners in social circles without any sense of irony! They also open up about the harder edges of LA life; from the hollowness of Hollywood and spiraling homelessness crisis to the impact of the pandemic on local businesses.  If you were waiting for an LA-bashing episode, this isn’t it. This is a celebration of what is, what’s coming, and what the hell was that? It’s an active shedding of old beliefs, and a permission slip to re-write the rules, lean into your intuition, go big, and go (to a new) home.  We also talk about: Celebrating community and creativity in LA Sober reflections on Hollywood industry Trusting your decisions, following your truth Our next destinations!  Why it’s normal to feel hesitant about starting a family  Creating narratives in your head Spirituality 2.0 Friendship transitions Find more to love at almost30.com!
