What if your relationship with food isn’t about willpower—but about the beliefs you formed before age seven? In this episode, New York Times bestselling author Geneen Roth joins Krista to unpack emotional eating, body image, and the hidden hunger driving so many women’s struggles.  Geneen shares how decades of dieting, extreme thinness, and chasing the “perfect body” never fixed the deeper hunger. From the mother wound to diet culture, this conversation reveals why food often becomes a stand-in for love, safety, and validation.  If you’ve ever thought “I’ll be happy when I lose the weight,” this episode reframes everything. This is a powerful conversation on emotional eating, self-worth, and how to finally feel full—beyond food, beyond the scale, and beyond the voice telling you you’re not enough. We also talk about: Why intuitive eating doesn’t work without an “inner adult” The psychology behind emotional eating + stress cravings GLP-1s, Ozempic, and what happens when food noise disappears Diet culture, body positivity, and the return of extreme thinness Childhood beliefs that secretly drive adult behaviors around food Why losing weight doesn’t automatically create happiness or confidence The difference between discipline + compassion in healing How to become your own “inner mother” + stop self-abandonment  Resources: Geneen’s new book, Love, Finally: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/762978/love-finally-by-geneen-roth/ Website: https://geneenroth.com/ Substack: https://cookiesandconsciousness.substack.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/geneenroth/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

What if you could start over—right now? In this K+L solo, Lindsey + Krista explore the truth about identity shifts, the discomfort of being in-between versions of yourself, and why the most painful seasons are often the most transformative.  They dive into the illusion of “arrival” and why so many of us feel lost when life doesn’t follow a predictable timeline.

Because the truth is: you don’t need a milestone to reinvent your life—you just need the courage to begin. We also talk about: Why life transitions feel harder outside of “expected” milestones The grief + liberation that coexist during major life changes Letting go of old timelines, relationships, and versions of yourself Why feeling your emotions is essential for real transformation Navigating breakups, divorce, and calling your energy back Motherhood as a massive identity shift + spiritual initiation The difference between soul desire vs. comparison-driven restlessness Why acceptance is the key to true personal growth Healing stuck emotions + how they keep you from moving forward Reparenting yourself + breaking generational emotional patterns Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Hero Bread | Hero Bread is offering 10% off your order.

In this solo episode, Krista explores why so many brilliant, empathetic women struggle to be fully seen + heard. From childhood conditioning to nervous system responses, she breaks down the hidden reasons you might still be playing small—even when you know you’re meant for more. Krista shares her personal journey of building Almost 30 + how that triggered her own visibility wound. She explains how visibility wounds show up as people-pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, or hiding your true voice—and why healing them is essential for living your purpose. If you’ve ever felt called to lead, create, speak, or share your gifts but found yourself freezing, doubting, or shrinking…this is for you. Through practical tools, nervous system practices, and mindset shifts, Krista shows how reclaiming your visibility can unlock deeper authenticity, creativity, and alignment with your soul’s mission. We also talk about: What visibility wounds are + how they form in childhood + relationships Why empaths + highly sensitive people often struggle with being seen The connection between people-pleasing, perfectionism, and visibility blocks How bullying, comparison, and family dynamics shape your nervous system around attention The surprising reason narcissists often appear more confident on stage or online Six common visibility archetypes (The Good Girl, The Performer, The Caretaker, and more) How suppressed expression can show up as anxiety, burnout, or feeling stuck in life The difference between performing for approval vs. expressing your authentic self Why healing visibility wounds is key to leadership, creativity, and purpose Simple nervous system practices to help you feel safe speaking, sharing, and taking up space Resources: Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Ritual | Don’t settle for less than evidence-based support.
