Morning Microdose Almost 30

This week, Krista is joined by Ellie Laks, Founder of the Gentle Barn, a place where animals can find rehabilitation and sanctuary, and humans can open their hearts to the magic of animals. Ellie tells the miraculous story of her journey starting Gentle Barn, which began when she was just seven years old.
Ellie withstood the pressures of her family’s disapproval, divorce, financial ruin, and harrowing self doubt until she found the law of attraction and began to fully trust herself and the Gentle Barn’s mission. Now Ellie understands that her deep sensitivity and empathic nature are her greatest gifts, and she explains how she’s been able to nurture and share those talents with the world.

In this episode, Krista welcomes Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a licensed clinical psychologist famous for her expertise in narcissism. On a mission to educate the masses about this high-conflict personality type, Dr. Ramani hosts the popular Navigating Narcissism podcast and has written several books, including the forthcoming, It’s Not You, available for preorder now.
Dr. Ramani unpacks the complexities of dating in a narcissistic world and warns of the biggest red flags to look out for, such as 'approach avoidance' and 'future faking' behaviors. Krista + Dr. Ramani also connect attachment styles to narcissism and explain how to set boundaries around manipulative behavior.
Sharing personal stories about her own experiences in narcissistic relationships, Dr. Ramani details the different types of narcissism you might encounter – from grandiose to vulnerable. In the age of social media, narcissism is an epidemic, but Dr. Ramani explains that healing is possible and fulfilling, healthy relationships are waiting on the other side of this work.

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.
