752: You Are Made For MORE: This Is How You Become It

An established, respected voice in our space and major personal inspiration for the show, author and speaker, Danielle LaPorte, drops in for this, her second appearance with K+L. Fresh off her latest book release, How To Be Loving, the chat is free-flowing – bursting with love, wisdom, and all of the divine forgiveness in between (catch a thoughtful deep dive on that concept within). Danielle touches on Krista’s recent theme of empathic living, the depth and meaning of feelings and how to best process them, and her spiritual practice of simplicity. As ever, Almost 30 is honored to share the airwaves with a personal hero and so happy to hear that she joins us from a place of strength and clarity as her newest work hits bookshelves. Danielle has so much positive energy to share; you’ll want to soak up as much as you can from this one.

Bestselling poet and author, Rupi Kaur, joins Krista for an intimate conversation on where she’s at in her life – mentally, emotionally, physically – as she nears her thirtieth birthday. In this raw, honest conversation, Rupi opens up about the deep grief she feels for herself, the mounting pressure that her success has brought into her life, and the realization that she needed time away from the noise. She also takes us behind the scenes on the process of writing her latest, Healing Through Writing, a book of prompts and writing exercises that began as a personal practice to stimulate creative ideas. On that subject, Rupi adds that each and every person is innately creative – and invites us to embrace and cherish that energy in whatever way we can.

It happened so fast that maybe you missed it – but, with only ten weeks of inspired and aligned planning, Lindsey and Sean celebrated their marriage a few weeks back. Hosting a non-traditional two-day event, they made their own dreams come true with friends and family in New York City and set the standard for their life together from this point on. Lindsey drops in for this intimate solo episode to talk about the important energetically aligned decisions that went into her wedding weekend, how she and Sean built an even deeper trust in one another by splitting up planning duties, and how – even with only two weeks to find hair and makeup artists – she never spiraled under the pressure of it all. We also talk about: Setting very clear intentions  Changing your perspective on spending Splitting up planning in a real way To botox or not to botox? Energetic alignment with vendors Avoiding negative spirals  Detailed visualization practice  Making the day our own Wedding weekend details Resources: Wedding look hair by @miiki.hair  Wedding look makeup by @downtownpepper Wedding photography by Natalia Wajda Wedding videography by @mariah.films and @gio.visuals Love Fest venue Legacy Records High Priestess of Brooklyn The Analog Girl Podcast Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Prolific author and poet, Diego Perez, aka Yung Pueblo, sits with Lindsey for this special episode on the powers of meditation, living in partnership, the creative process, and so much more. We also talk about Lighter, his new book, inspired by the feeling of shedding weight and past traumas he’s experienced through his advanced meditation practice. Diego shares some great wedding tips and explains how he and his wife go ten, sometimes forty-five, days at a time without seeing or speaking to one another at meditation retreats – and how finding the practice has changed his worldview forever.  It might sound cliche, but this conversation will leave you feeling lighter. Diego’s words and deep wisdom, especially outside of the questionable confines of social media (which we also unpack), are powerful and resonant.  We also talk about: Emotional immaturity vs. maturity  Preventative communication Meditation practice Finding your intuition Living in partnership Diego’s creative process  Who is Yung Pueblo?

In today’s solo episode, Krista drops in for part two of her deep dive on empathy, codependency, and enmeshment to break down their similarities and importance differences. Who are you, really? And why is it so hard for highly sensitive people to untangle the answer from everything around them? Your empathic gifts don’t need to be a weight on your life, or a curtain blocking the light from coming through. If understood and acknowledged from a place of personal love and acceptance, they can be your superpower. We all have some of it within us; Krista gets extra personal in this one to illustrate that very point.  We also talk about: Powers of an empath Intro to codependency  Krista’s childhood denying her gifts  Loyalty vs. low self-worth Energy matching for safety  Empathy as performance Validate me, internet  Speaking + living in truth Attachment styles Resources: How to Thrive as an Empath: Understand The Shadow Side and Your Gifts #540 Healing The Mother Wound With Krista Williams #407 Krista Williams on Her Silent Retreat Experience #256 Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

Jordana Abraham is one-third of the founding team behind OG online humor and content brand, Betches. K + L visit their New York headquarters for this one, as Jordana walks through how a parody blog they started in college has grown into a full-blown media empire. We talk about team dynamics and the delicate dance of dividing up business responsibilities amongst friends, and unpack the team’s shift into podcasting as a means to have deeper conversations about the world around them. Jordana is a breath of fresh air, a reminder that, considering the many stressors around us at any given time – we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously. We are here to laugh and to love abundantly.

Divine musician, vegan foods entrepreneur, and spiritual soul guide, Julie Piatt, joins Krista for her second appearance on the show as they take the temperature of the world and greater community within it. The results? Radical evolution is here to stay. Julie explains that the power of the divine feminine is on the rise and provides practices which allow us to recognize and channel it. She also talks about the seasons of her relationship, honoring herself and her wisdom in celebration of her sixtieth birthday, and tells of a deeply meaningful pilgrimage to India, twelve years ago, which connected to a recent near-death experience. Julie is another in a long line of Almost 30 guests who not only contain and embody a true sense of divine purpose, but emit it out into the world through their words and energetic signature. We felt, and continue to feel, this one on a level that opens our hearts in a way that was so necessary.
