21 May 2026, 10:00 am - 49 minutes 8 seconds871. If You’re Constantly Wondering ‘Could This Be My Person?’…Listen to this
In this solo episode, Lindsey dives into the dating pattern so many of us secretly fall into but rarely admit: future tripping. From imagining a future with someone after one date to wondering if they could be “the one,” Lindsey reframes future tripping as something deeper than overthinking.
Lindsey explores the psychology behind future tripping, the difference between intuition + anxiety in relationships, and how your nervous system often recognizes compatibility before your mind does. Lindsey also shares the powerful dating lessons she learned through years of being single.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever ignored their instincts, stayed too long because of someone’s “potential,” or questioned what they truly want. Lindsey shares a new framework for dating rooted in self-trust, and understanding what your imagined future may be trying to tell you.
We also talk about:
- Why future tripping is actually rooted in neuroscience + attachment theory
- Signs you’re confusing potential with reality
- Why “I can change them” is often a dangerous mindset
- The subtle difference between compromising + abandoning yourself
- Green flags that signal real emotional growth in a partner
- How to identify compatibility beyond chemistry and attraction
- What your imagined future reveals about your deepest desires + values
- Lindsey’s personal dating stories before meeting her husband Sean

12 May 2026, 10:00 am - 1 hour 13 minutes868. In Honor of Katherine Woodward Thomas: Breaking Patterns + Becoming Your Future Self
We are heartbroken to share that since recording this interview, Katherine Woodward Thomas has passed. In January, Krista had the gift of sitting down with Katherine for this conversation, and we feel deeply blessed to share her wisdom, presence, and legacy with this community.
The beloved bestselling author of Calling in 'The One' + a pioneer in conscious relationships, Katherine shares the deeply personal journey that led her to her life’s work—from overcoming an eating disorder to becoming a global thought leader in personal growth + transformation.
She introduces her powerful concept of the “source fracture story,” revealing how our earliest wounds shape our relationships, beliefs, and reality. But this conversation is not just about healing the past—it’s about consciously creating what comes next.
We also talk about:
- Why healing alone isn’t always enough—and what real transformation actually requires
- How to stop repeating unhealthy relationship patterns, including narcissist/empath dynamics
- The difference between victim consciousness + personal power
- Why your future self should guide your growth—not your past
- The truth about “missing development” + emotional maturity
- How to identify + rewrite your core belief systems
- The role of self-mothering + inner healing in personal transformation
- How identity shifts can change the way you experience love, purpose, and connection
