In this solo, Lindsey opens up about navigating friendships in different seasons of life, from motherhood to career changes, marriage, and everything in between. She shares why relationship shifts don’t automatically mean something is wrong—and how letting go of expectations can create more space for connection. She gets into the difference between a friendship that needs more intentionality + one that may be naturally falling away. From having honest conversations about capacity to setting boundaries, Lindsey shares practical ways to stay connected without overextending yourself or making every change mean something. She also shares simple ways to nurture the people you love through big life transitions, including voice notes, meaningful plans, meals, and small acts of care. This is a reminder that lasting friendships can ebb and flow, enter “winter seasons,” and still come back with fresh energy when you give them room to evolve. We also talk about:  Friendship after becoming a mom When distance is actually healthy The pressure to be a “good friend” Supporting friends through grief + major change Why one friend often changes seasons first How to stop filling silence with assumptions Nourishing someone when they’re overwhelmed Balancing compassion with accountability Being a better friend to yourself Planning something to look forward to Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors:  The Real Real | Get $25 off your first purchase when you go to therealreal.com/ALMOST30.

Lindsey Burwell, integrated health practitioner + founder of The Patch Method, joins us for a powerful conversation about healing, self-awareness, and learning to trust your body again. She shares how a decade of trials transformed her relationship with her body, her faith, and her purpose. We get into the pressure to optimize everything, why more isn’t always more, and how Lindsey learned to loosen her grip on perfection. From supplements + wellness routines to intuitive movement + nervous system regulation, she shares what shifted when she stopped treating herself like a project to fix. Lindsey also opens up about fear of being seen, spiritual warfare, following intuitive nudges, and finding meaning in the hardest seasons of life. Together, we explore what happens when you release the outcome, trust the process, and let your personal transformation become part of your purpose. We also talk about:  IVF, motherhood, and feeling like your body has failed you The emotional weight of medical diagnoses + uncertainty Why perfectionism can become its own form of stress Learning to exercise intuitively instead of following every trend “Done is better than perfect” in business + visibility How social media can drain your creativity The difference between consuming content + strategically studying it Building a business by following your mission + staying unattached How pain can dissolve the ego + reveal your purpose Trusting that the hard season may make sense later Resources: Lindsey’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itslindseyburwell/ The Patch Method Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.patchmethod/ Website: http://www.lindseyburwell.com/ + http://www.thepatchmethod.com/ The first 100 listeners who DM us “ALMOST30” at @the.patchmethod on Instagram get 30% off and FREE Patch Kits!   Sponsors:  Ritual | Save 25% on your first month at https://Ritual.com/ALMOST30.  The Real Real | Get $25 off your first purchase when you go to therealreal.com/ALMOST30.

Anthony O’Neal, author of Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck, joins us for a conversation about money, mindset, and building a life beyond survival mode. He opens up about the moment he realized looking wealthy wasn’t the same as actually being wealthy—and how that realization changed everything.

Serena Kerrigan, author of Let’s F*****g Date, joins us for a candid conversation about relationships, self-worth, and the mindset shifts that can completely change the way you date. She gets real about going from chasing validation to knowing you are the chooser. From the “three P” theory—potential, practice, or plot—to the two-drink rule, Serena shares how to make dating feel lighter, more fun, and less like a search for “the one.” We unpack red flags, the ick, pacing, standards, and why your time is a valuable resource.

In this episode, Maya Ayed, founder of Alya Health, joins us to talk about why some of the most powerful health practices may be much simpler than we’ve been led to believe. She shares the Tunisian family tradition that changed her relationship with food, her gut, and her health. From olive oil + polyphenols to gut health, blood sugar, hormones, and eating seasonally, Maya breaks down the lessons she brought from Tunisia into her life in the US. She also shares how her own health struggles became the catalyst for leaving tech and building a company around women’s health. We also get into entrepreneurship, trusting your path, knowing when to make a career pivot, and why “less is more” might be the wellness philosophy we need right now. This conversation is about personal growth, nourishing your body, and building a life + business with purpose. We also talk about:  Maya’s Tunisian roots + the Mediterranean lifestyle How her own bloating, fatigue, and skin issues led her to investigate her gut health The difference between regular olive oil + high-polyphenol olive oil Gut health, inflammation, blood sugar, and metabolic health Why eating seasonally + prioritizing whole foods can change how we nourish ourselves The wellness industry’s obsession with supplements, powders, and quick fixes Leaving a career in tech to pursue women’s health How Maya built a community before she built her company Why you’ll never feel completely ready to make a big career leap Entrepreneurship, resilience, identity, and having fun along the way Resources: Go to https://alyahealth.com/s/almost30 and use code ALMOST30 for 20% off.  Alya Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drinkalya/ Alya TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drinkalya Maya’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mayafromtunisia Maya’s Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayaayed/ Sponsors:  EllaOla | Go to https://EllaOla.com/ALMOST30 for 20% off your first purchase.

In this episode, Krista + Lindsey explore the idea of the invisible strings connecting our lives. They reflect on the relationships, places, and seemingly random moments that led them exactly where they are—and how much more meaningful life feels when you trust the connections you can’t always see. They share their wildest invisible-string stories, from dating + marriage to SoulCycle, Almost 30, friendships, and even moments of loss. They explore why some people enter our lives for a lifetime while others arrive to teach us a lesson, shift our path, or help us become someone new. Plus, they talk about creating more spaciousness in friendships, letting relationships ebb + flow without forcing them, and trusting the path when the dots don’t connect yet. This episode is a reminder that you may not understand where life is taking you—but you can trust that the pieces will make sense when you look back. We also talk about:  The invisible string theory + the idea that nothing is truly random How Krista + Lindsey’s own strings led them to each other Soulmates, karmic relationships, and soul connections Why some people are brought into our lives for lessons The strange connections between dating, friendship, and career How rejection can redirect you toward a more creative chapter Letting friendships have more space without assuming the connection is gone Trusting your intuition when the path ahead doesn’t make sense Why you can’t always connect the dots until you look backward Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itskrista/ Website: https://itskrista.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors:  Larineco | Get 50% off at https://buylarine.com/ALMOST30.

Lindsey is back with part two of her postpartum catch-up, getting honest about personal growth, relationships, and identity after becoming a mom of two. She shares what this season has taught her about asking for help, letting go of comparison, and giving herself permission to do motherhood her own way. She opens up about marriage, couples therapy, communication, and the reality of doing the relationship work while raising two kids. She also talks about how her priorities have shifted, what she’s temporarily letting go of, and why she’s learning to trust the timing of her creativity + career. Most of all, Lindsey reflects on the identity shift that comes with a major life transition—and why uncertainty doesn’t have to mean confusion. This is a reminder to give yourself grace, stay present, and trust that the next version of you is allowed to look different.

Dr. Shefali, bestselling author + expert in conscious parenting, joins us for an honest conversation about raising emotionally resilient children in a world that is increasingly disconnected. She shares why parents must stop trying to perfect themselves—and start showing up fully as they are. We talk about the hidden ways anxiety, achievement, social media, and performance-based parenting shape our kids, and why true connection starts with our own nervous system.

Haley Hoffman Smith, manifestation teacher + EFT tapping practitioner, joins us to talk about mindset, personal growth, and the courage to pursue the dreams that won’t leave you alone. She shares how she stopped playing it safe + became the woman she knew she could be. From music to money, identity, and faith, Haley breaks down the beliefs that can keep us stuck—and how EFT tapping, subconscious rewiring, and the law of assumption helped her change what she believed was possible.  She also gets real about surrendering control, trusting God’s timing, and letting go of the need to know exactly how your dreams will happen. If you’ve been afraid to hope for something again, this episode is a powerful reminder that your next chapter might require you to believe differently before you can live differently. We also talk about:  How Haley found her way back to music after years of suppressing that dream Why rejection can create subconscious beliefs that follow us for years How EFT tapping can help change your relationship to painful memories The power of “mind movies” for creating new emotional evidence Why manifestation is less about forcing an outcome + more about embodying a new identity Haley’s journey from motivational speaker to creator, musician, and spiritual teacher What it means to trust God when the opportunity you want doesn’t work out Why she believes it’s safe to hope again after disappointment The spiritual practices she returns to, including EFT tapping, prayer, and reading the Bible Letting yourself evolve instead of feeling like you need to have all the answers Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/haleyhoffmansmith/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@haleyhoffmansmith Website: https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/ Order her book + journal: https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/book/ Join Dreamaway: https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/dreamaway/ Listen to her podcast Big Conversations: https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/podcast/ Listen to her music: https://haleyhoffmansmithmusic.com/ Sponsors:  BetterHelp | Sign up and get 10% off at https://BetterHelp.com/almost30.

Seven weeks postpartum, Lindsey is back with a deeply honest look at going from one child to two—and the emotional well-being, self-awareness, and personal growth that have come with becoming a mom all over again. She shares what no one prepared her for about this transition. From physical recovery and breastfeeding to overwhelm, guilt, identity shifts, and learning to ask for help, Lindsey gets real about what this season has demanded of her. She also opens up about stepping away from Instagram to protect her intuition and make space for her own inner knowing. Then there’s motherhood the second time around: watching Mav become a big brother, becoming a daughter-mom, and realizing how much her choices now shape the woman her daughter will grow into. It’s messy, beautiful, challenging, and a powerful lesson in letting go of perfection. We also talk about:  What Lindsey’s birth experience was like + the subtle signs she noticed beforehand How postpartum recovery compared to her first experience The support, nourishment, rest, and childcare that have helped her recover Why going from one child to two has felt unexpectedly emotional The guilt + self-judgment that can come with splitting your attention between children Rebuilding mindfulness, movement, and a sense of self in early motherhood Why Lindsey deleted Instagram + how it helped her trust her intuition as a mom Mav’s adjustment to becoming a big brother + making intentional one-on-one time with him What becoming a mother to a daughter is bringing up around self-worth, boundaries, body image, and how she moves through the world The identity shifts that can happen when your family, body, and priorities change all at once Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors:  Evvy | Go to ⁠https://checkout.evvy.com/discount/ALMOST30⁠ to receive 10% off your first purchase, up to $25.

In this episode, Krista pulls back the curtain on her journey from self-improvement skeptic to life coach, sharing what coaching actually is, why she finally trusted herself enough to become one, and what she’s learned about helping women transform. She gets radically honest about the shadow side of coaching, the difference between a coach, therapist, mentor, and consultant, and why doing your own personal growth work is essential before you try to guide someone else. From finding your niche to setting boundaries, building self-worth, and knowing when you’re actually ready to coach, Krista answers the questions so many aspiring coaches are afraid to ask—including how to make coaching feel authentic instead of cringey. We also talk about:  How therapy helped Krista become more open to coaching The coach who changed Krista + Lindsey’s relationship with themselves + each other What finally made Krista feel ready to become a coach The difference between coaching, therapy, consulting, and mentorship Why your own healing work is part of becoming a great coach How Krista protects her energy, nervous system, and boundaries while coaching What countertransference looks like + why coaches need to watch for it How to know who you are actually meant to serve Why shy, sensitive, or introverted people can make incredible coaches Krista’s advice for getting trained, finding clients, building confidence, and charging what your work is worth Resources: Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Sponsors:  EllaOla | Go to https://EllaOla.com/ALMOST30 for 20% off your first purchase.

In this episode, Regena Thomashauer, bestselling author + founder of The School of Womanly Arts, joins us for a bold conversation about pleasure, the nervous system, self-worth, and feminine power. She shares why reconnecting with your body can change the way you move through your entire life. Regena opens up about her own trauma, the moment she realized success couldn’t heal what was happening underneath, and how pleasure became an unexpected path back to herself. She also shares what it means to trust your desire, even when life hasn’t unfolded on the timeline you imagined. This episode is a reminder that you are not here just to achieve, caretake, and hold everything together. We explore what becomes possible when you let yourself feel more, receive more, and reconnect with the part of you that knows you’re meant to be fully alive. We also talk about: Why women are taught to disconnect from their bodies + pleasure How shame around the female body can disconnect us from confidence + intuition Why Regena believes pleasure can help regulate the nervous system The difference between sexuality + erotic aliveness What happened when Regena realized her identity had become completely wrapped up in helping other people Her “on our knees” moment + the decision to finally turn inward How grief, fear, and desire can coexist during periods of deep uncertainty Using movement to help emotions move through the body The stories of Lilith, Psyche, Demeter, and Persephone + what they can teach us about feminine power Why women don’t have to shrink themselves to be loved or accepted Resources: Website: https://mamagenas.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mamagena Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mamagena Sponsors:  Naturium | Give your skin the affordable, luxurious glow up it deserves.
