    Emotional healing after betrayal + heartbreak

    What if the thing that broke your heart was actually the thing that set you free? In this episode on emotional healing, Krista sits down with Lindsey Schwartz, founder of Powerhouse Women®, to explore betrayal, heartbreak, and what it takes to rebuild your life when everything you thought was certain falls apart. Lindsey shares her journey of learning to trust herself again, healing from deep wounds, and navigating the identity shift that comes after loss. Together, they explore self-awareness, self-worth, and how painful experiences can become the catalyst for deeper purpose, authenticity, and transformation. From the financial + emotional fallout of betrayal to dating again after a 13-year marriage, Lindsey opens up about the messy, nonlinear process of healing. If you're navigating heartbreak, a major life transition, or learning to find yourself again, this conversation is for you. We also talk about: The financial + legal fallout that kept Lindsey “unhealed” How betrayal trauma made Lindsey question who she could trust The surprising role of Lindsey's childhood + religious upbringing Dating for the first time after a 13-year marriage Why rejection became an opportunity to fall more deeply in love with herself The pressure to share a perfectly healed version of yourself online Being seen in the messy seasons instead of waiting until you have it figured out Resources: Instagram: @Lindseymarieoffical Instagram: @Powerhouse_women Website: www.powerhousewomenevent.com Sponsors: Super | Start building your credit the easy way.

    What every ambitious woman needs to hear about motherhood + purpose

    Motherhood didn't just change me—it transformed the way I see myself, my purpose, and the life I want to create. In this solo episode, Lindsey explores self-awareness through the lens of motherhood, identity shifts, and emotional healing, sharing what happens when we release old versions of ourselves and learn to embrace who we’re becoming. If you've ever wondered whether it's okay to miss your old life while deeply loving your current one, this conversation is for you. Lindsey opens up about ambiguous grief, matrescence, and the emotional complexity of stepping into a new chapter while honoring the person you were before. As she prepares to welcome her second child, Lindsey reflects on slowing down, redefining success, and letting go of the pressure to constantly achieve. She shares what motherhood has taught her about fulfillment, trusting the timing of your life, and finding deeper purpose—even when the path looks completely different than you imagined. We also talk about: Why becoming a mother completely reorganized Lindsey’s identity The surprising grief of missing your old life while loving your new one The concept of matrescence + the psychological transformation of motherhood Why fulfillment feels different from achievement + external validation Letting go of productivity, perfectionism, and the need to optimize everything Choosing family over hustle culture + redefining success How motherhood stripped away performative tendencies The pressure of watching everyone else achieve while you're in a slower season Trusting the timing of your life + embracing the creative unknown Why every season of motherhood asks you to become someone new Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors: Ritual | Don't settle for less than evidence-based support.

    Stop chasing money and become someone who can hold it

    What if everything you've been taught about money is wrong? In this conversation with high-level wealth strategist Elizabeth Ralph, we're exploring why wealth might be less about working harder and more about the energy, beliefs, and patterns shaping your relationship with abundance. We explore the fears, beliefs, and patterns that keep us stuck in scarcity, why money isn't linear, and what it means to create wealth from a place of trust instead of control. If you've ever avoided looking at your bank account, wondered why money feels so emotionally charged, or felt like you're constantly trying to "figure it all out," this episode is for you. Get ready to rethink abundance + open yourself to a completely new way of relating to wealth. We also talk about: Why conscious women need to participate in wealth The connection between self-worth + net worth The hidden beliefs keeping you stuck in scarcity The energetics of abundance + effortless wealth Why personal development can become another form of ego The difference between control + trust in manifestation How social media impacts our relationship with money The real meaning of legacy + legacy wealth How to create abundance by becoming, not by doing Resources: Get one free month of SI Club at: https://myrootabl.com/r/ezmSidp0?rootabl=almost30podcast Website: https://www.thespiritualinvestor.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethralph/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Elizabeth_Ralph Sponsors: The Absorption Company | Start taking supplements your body can actually absorb.

    We were so cringe in our old episodes (Here to give you permission to be cringe, too!)

    OMG, we're taking a trip back to the very beginning of Almost 30 to listen to our early episodes, and honestly...we can't believe we're here today. Listening back had us laughing, cringing, and getting emotional over the dreams we had, the women we were, and the people we thought we'd become. Some things changed completely, and some of the things we wanted most somehow found us in ways we never could've planned. This is a deeply personal episode, and if you've ever looked back at an old version of yourself and thought, "Wow, she had no idea what was coming," let this be your reminder that every version of you is worthy. Get ready to laugh ‘til your abs hurt ladies—we're heading down memory lane! We also talk about: Our first impressions of each other + the women we were 10 years ago The dreams we had for our future selves + the manifestations that came true How our voices, identities, and priorities have evolved over the years Why giving yourself permission to cringe is actually a sign of growth The dating stories + deal-breaker questions that had us crying laughing The friendship that became the foundation of Almost 30 Trusting your intuition + following what feels like a full-body yes Why every season of reinvention is preparing you for what's next Looking back at old versions of yourself with compassion instead of judgment The beauty of realizing your life unfolded even better than you planned Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik  Instagram: @itskrista  Sponsors: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

    Mark Manson on why personal growth can backfire

    What if the personal growth you've been chasing isn't about becoming someone new—but finally accepting who you already are? Krista sits down with bestselling author Mark Manson to explore self-awareness, mindset shifts, and why letting go of the need to constantly fix yourself can lead to greater emotional well-being, purpose, and authenticity. Mark shares why the pursuit of self-improvement can sometimes keep us trapped in a cycle of never feeling like we’re enough. Together, Krista and Mark explore ambition, identity, perfectionism, and what happens when we stop fighting ourselves and start embracing who we truly are. From redefining success after burnout to letting go of the pressure to constantly evolve, Mark shares the lessons that transformed his life and shaped his work. If you're ready to stop chasing the next version of yourself and start living with more peace, confidence, and self-acceptance, this conversation is for you. We also talk about: Why accepting yourself is the key to lasting transformation The hidden downside of success + building a public platform How burnout forced Mark to redefine ambition + productivity The surprising story behind the iconic Disappointment Panda Why every new level of success comes with a new set of problems How childhood identities shape the way we navigate adulthood The fear of changing when relationships depend on the old version of you Why people lie to themselves—and how denial keeps us stuck Mark's journey from self-help obsession to self-acceptance Philosophies that shaped Mark's work, including Buddhism, existentialism, and Carl Rogers Resources: Instagram: @markmanson LinkedIn: @markmanson Twitter: @markmanson YouTube: @IAmMarkManson Sponsors: Hero Bread | Hero Bread is offering 10% off your order.

    Why your purpose is asking you to let go (not push harder) with Blu + Lily Ashwell

    What if purpose isn't about doing more—but about letting go of everything that isn't meant for you? Blu of Earth + Lily Ashwell join Krista to explore how slowing down, trusting your intuition, and releasing external validation can help you reconnect with the work that truly aligns with your purpose. Together, they share the years-long creative journey behind their handcrafted tarot deck + the mindset shifts that allowed them to embrace uncertainty, trust divine timing, and create from a place of authenticity. Their conversation is a reminder that your next chapter doesn't have to be forced—it unfolds when you create space for it. From navigating life-changing transitions to reconnecting with your inner wisdom, Blu + Lily reveal how purpose, emotional healing, and self-awareness emerge when we stop chasing what looks good on paper and start listening to ourselves. If you're questioning your path or feeling called toward something new, this episode is for you. We also talk about: Why slowing down can unlock deeper creativity + purpose The spiritual lessons hidden within major life transitions Blu's experience navigating hearing loss + unexpected change How to trust divine timing when life isn't going according to plan Building authentic friendships through honesty + repair The difference between creating for validation vs. creating from the soul Letting go of perfectionism in the creative process How intuition can guide your next chapter Resources: Find Heavenly Bodies Tarot available for purchase exclusively on Amazon (US only - for now).  Instagram: @bluofearth Instagram: @lilyashwell Website: bluofearth.com Website: lilyashwell.com  Substack: https://substack.com/@lilyashwell Sponsors: Ka’Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your first order.
