#Almost30nation! Hello friends! Excited to introduce you to this week’s guest. Evita Robinson founded the NOMADNESS Travel Tribe, a first-of-its-kind movement bringing together and representing the underrepresented in mainstream travel. Their mission is to show the world that travel has no racial, gender, religious, economic, or interest limitations through community representation and relevancy (like the $50,000,000 being injected into the travel industry every year).   In today’s political climate, it’s more important than ever to get out and travel, meet different people, and immerse yourself in diverse cultures. It allows us to gain perspective and see ourselves as just a part of humanity; something to keep you modest, keep you grounded, and keep you connected to what’s REAL! We love the way Evita embodies this, and we know you are all going to love her.   We discuss…   A stark view of how people of color are underrepresented in the travel industry The highs and lows of NOMADNESS’ group travel events (but mostly highs) How NOMADNESS came to be Reverse culture shock: when home feels like a foreign country How Evita approaches building a community Navigating a new challenge + stepping into your light How social media changed travel Evita’s relationship with spirituality The Airbnb experience for people of color + partnering with Airbnb Why you need people of color in your marketing teams + HR Creating safe + sacred spaces What’s next for NOMADNESS: the first U.S. festival for travelers of color!   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more | nomadnesstv.com Instagram | @evierobbie Twitter | @evierobbie Look glam & give back with Evita’s lipstick | compassbyevita.com Brass Clothing | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your first order at www.brassclothing.com WOO FOR PLAY | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off at wooforplay.com Uwila Warrior | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off at uwilawarrior.com/almost30 FabFitFun | Use code ALMOST30 for $10 off at fabfitfun.com Mowellens | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off your first purchase at mowellens.com Chosen Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off at chosenfoods.com/almost30 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.

While in Seattle, Lindsey + Krista had the privilege of hanging out with one of the city’s most influential and controversial figures: Dan Savage, the bestselling author, sex columnist, and activist for the LGBTQ community. Dan was so incredibly authentic, honest, and open during this conversation, and we are so happy to have explored some topics that we’ve never had the opportunity to cover in our show. Sometimes these conversations aren’t just fun, but completely change the way we perceive our world – and this is definitely one of those episodes.   You can find Dan sharing more of his thoughts and providing advice in the “Savage Love” column, his latest best-selling book American Savage, and in the Savage Lovecast.   Dan doesn’t hold back and he has a lot to say, so get excited for some Savage Love!   We talk about…   Why Dan lives in Seattle The hardest thing Dan has ever had to do in his life Dealing with criticism Dan Savage in his early 20s Slut shaming Why and how we’ve made monogamy such a big deal in our society (and how that causes problems) People opening up about their kinks Starting the It Gets Better Project 10 years ago & where it is now Where Dan gets his news Hump: America’s best dirty film festival Dan’s advice for his 20-year-old self   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Get advice | “Savage Love” Listen | Savage Lovecast Read | American Savage: Insights, Slights, and Fights on Faith, Sex, Love, and Politics #ITMFA | impeachthemotherfuckeralready.com Instagram | @dansavage Facebook | facebook.com/DanSavage Twitter | @dansavage Organifi | This organic superfood supplement line makes quality trusted nutrition convenient and accessible.

Robyn Youkilis is here and ready to talk gut health, emotional weight, and how we can take care of our bodies to better connect with our intuition. This is a girl who knows her genius – healing your gut + your emotional well-being – and we really admire the honesty and consistency in the way she communicates. We also fell in love with Robyn’s most recent book, Thin from Within: The Go with Your Gut Way to Lose Weight, a coaching guide and cookbook mashup that is designed to help you optimize your digestion and shed emotional and physical weight from the inside out.   And here’s a fun fact: Robyn is also intuitive, and she weaves that into her nutrition practice in some beautiful, effective ways. We also chat about…   Crying + Running = Crunning Who was Robyn in her early 20s? Getting certified at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) Emotional weight How gut + intuition became Robyn’s focus What should our poop look like? How Robyn’s diet and eating have changed over the past decade The rule of 5 plate How to break a sugar addiction What’s the best boozy beverage?

Alix Peabody founded Bev, the rosé “made by chicks” and drank by, well, anyone who enjoys a tasty rosé wine!     We admire the way that Alix walks the walk and talks the talk, nurturing Bev into not just a beverage company but also a mission-driven brand dedicated to female empowerment. Her story is wild, and she’s been a mentor to us over the past few crazy months. She’s helping us grow and spread our wings – and we know she’ll be an expander for you too!   We discuss…   The Bev mission statement Going on destination first dates (like Hawaii with a guy you’ve never met before) How the male-dominated social scene in college led Alix down the path to starting Bev Experiencing ovarian torsion Creating the first bar designed with women in mind Investing her 401k into rosé Finding a wine supplier on Hinge Attending four high schools in three countries The loophole that allows Bev to sell wine directly to consumers, without a distributor What people don’t see in building a business Working in and running a business with radical transparency Knowing your worth   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Want to try Bev?

Alok Vaid-Menon is a gender non-conforming performance artist, writer, and educator.  Taken from Alok’s own writing “In a world that requires everyone to 'pass' within two discrete categories of 'man' OR 'woman' what would it mean for gender non-conformity to be regarded as beautiful, desirable, legitimate, and worthy?”.  They are performing, speaking, and writing from their soul to connect through differences and challenge the archaic social construct that is gender.   Alok is so comfortable in their skin and their glam, and the confidence is infectious! We had a ton of fun chatting with them, soaking in their poetic words – and we know you’re going to leave this episode with a little bit more hope, a little bit more inspiration, and new ways to challenge the current paradigm!   We talk about…   The ins and outs of your passion being your business Growing up (emotionally repressed) in a small Texas town Southern “politeness” Balancing being a strong example for others + being a complex, flawed human Why it hurts when we turn someone into a metaphor and a symbol Visibility does not mean safety for women and trans people Where Alok developed their emotional vocabulary Gender + shame Learning not to fear their own gender nonconformity The psychology of fascism Why Alok is frustrated by the individualism of self-care The people who bully us want to be us Aesthetics as political resistance Violence against gender non-conforming individuals has escalated over the past few years What we can all do, every day, to challenge the current paradigm   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more | alokvmenon.com Instagram | @alokvmenon Twitter | @alokvmenon YouTube | youtube.com/channel/UCG_G2mCoGdNUIOPaPrgorHg Chosen Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off at chosenfoods.com/almost30 Après | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off at drinkapres.com Calm | Get 25% off a Calm premium subscription at www.calm.com/almost30 Simple Contacts | Use code ALMOST30 to save $20 at simplecontacts.com/almost30 MaxiClimber | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off + free S&H + more than $50 of BONUS accessories at maxiclimber.com Bioclarity | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off your 1st order + free shipping at bioclarity.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.
