    872. How We Built Almost 30 Into a Global Brand

    In this episode, K+L share what it really takes to create a podcast that lasts. From recording awkward early episodes on a $15 mic to building Almost 30 into a global brand and loyal community, they open up about the behind-the-scenes realities of starting a podcast in 2026.


    They dive into what actually makes a podcast stand out in today’s world, why personality matters more than ever in the age of AI, and how your voice and story become your biggest advantage. If you’ve been waiting to feel “ready” to share your message, this episode is your sign to start.


    K+L also open up about the identity shifts, self-doubt, nervous system regulation, video anxiety, and growing pains that no one talks about. This is your reminder that the people you admire started messy too—and that consistency + connection will always matter more than perfection.


    We also talk about:

    • Why most podcasts fail before they ever find momentum
    • The importance of finding your unique voice in the AI era
    • How to stop obsessing over downloads + focus on mastery
    • Why listeners connect more deeply with hosts than guests
    • The real reason community-building matters for podcast growth
    • How social media + short-form clips drive discoverability in 2026
    • The surprising psychology behind “cult-like” podcast communities
    • Why interview shows are harder to grow today than solo formats
    • The exact mindset shift that helped Almost 30 build a loyal audience for 10 years

    871. 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

    What if the way you see your body, your relationships, and your purpose… isn’t actually yours? In this raw solo Q&A, Krista opens up about the beliefs, patterns, and emotional habits quietly shaping your life—and how to finally break free from them.


    From food anxiety + body image to dating, friendship breakups, and stepping into your next identity, this episode feels like a late-night conversation with your most honest, no-BS friend. Krista dives into the real reasons we stay stuck—and the mindset shifts that change everything.

    • The concept of “psychic protection” on social media and energetic boundaries

    868. 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

    867. Why You’re Bloated, Tired + Craving Sugar

    What if the real reason you feel bloated, exhausted, and stuck in a cycle of cravings… isn’t your willpower—but your gut? In this episode, Colleen Cutcliffe joins Lindsey to break down the hidden power of your gut microbiome—and why 95% of us are missing one critical nutrient: fiber.


    From metabolism + energy to mood, cravings, and even longevity, your gut is running the show behind the scenes. Colleen reveals how your microbiome directly impacts GLP-1, your brain chemistry, and your body’s ability to function at its highest level—naturally.

    Ahead, we unpack the powerful framework behind true healing: deficiencies vs. toxicities. From gut health to mineral imbalances to chronic stress, Dr. Cabral breaks down exactly how your body falls out of balance—and how to bring it back without extremes, trends, or overwhelm.


    If you feel like you’re doing all the “right” things but still don’t feel like yourself, this episode will flip everything you thought you knew about health. This is your roadmap to more energy, clearer skin, better sleep + a body that finally works with you—not against you.

    864. Geneen Roth: Why Food, Weight + Self-Worth Are Deeply Connected

    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

    863. Rewire Beauty Conditioning + Actually Enjoy The Body You Have

    In this episode, K+L unpack the body image conditioning many women carry from their twenties into adulthood. From dieting, comparison, and dating insecurities to confidence, pregnancy, and healing, this conversation reframes what it really means to feel at home in your body.

    They explore how women are taught to use their bodies as currency—and what happens when you stop. Krista shares how her body transformation changed her dating life, while Lindsey opens up about pregnancy, identity shifts, and learning to release control. 

    K+L dive into intuitive eating, body acceptance, nervous system regulation, and learning your unique blueprint for wellness. If you’ve struggled with food, body image, hormones, or self-worth, you are certainly not alone, and there is hope for a more loving relationship with your vessel. 

    We also talk about:

    -Body image struggles in your 20s vs. your 30s

    -Using your body as “currency” in dating + relationships

    -Healing your relationship with food + ending restriction cycles

    862. I’m Pregnant with Baby #2! An Unfiltered Update + Q&A

    Maybe you guessed it?! Lindsey is pregnant with baby #2! In this episode, she shares her exciting news and gets real about the emotional, physical, and spiritual shifts of pregnancy the second time around—from body image, being pregnant with a toddler, and squeezing self-care into the cracks. 


    Ahead, she shares how she and Sean are preparing for the transition to two kids—from daily check-ins to managing capacity, expectations, and avoiding resentment. She also shares mindset shifts around partnership, presence, and creating a supportive dynamic during major life changes.


    Plus, Lindsey answers your most-asked pregnancy questions—including her workout routine, nutrition, supplements, and what surprised her most about this pregnancy. She also opens up about her birth mindset—how she’s preparing mentally + physically for labor. 


    We also talk about:

    • Maintaining connection with your partner during pregnancy
    • Mobility, stretching, and preparing the body for labor
    • Her birth plan + choosing a midwife vs. OB-GYN
    • Managing body image + confidence during pregnancy
    • What she eats in a day during the second trimester
    • Pregnancy nutrition, protein, and choline for baby development
    • Supporting your toddler through the transition to a new sibling
    • Navigating conception journeys, loss, and trusting your body
