    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

    855. Relationship Advice with K+L: Feel Secure, Stop Overthinking + Choose Better

    In this solo episode, Krista + Lindsey get real about what it actually looks like to navigate relationships in your 30s, without losing yourself in the process. 


    From early dating anxiety to feeling “too attached,” they unpack the difference between intuition + fear, and why being honest might be your biggest dating advantage. They also dive into what it really means to communicate in modern relationships—and why clarity is actually magnetic.


    Plus, they get into the messy middle of healing—like feeling anger toward your parents, outgrowing friendships, and rebuilding intimacy after big life changes. Get ready to feel more secure, expressed, and aligned in every area of your life.


    We also talk about:

    • Why getting “attached” in dating isn’t actually a bad thing
    • The power of saying how you feel early in relationships
    • How to stop future-tripping + come back to the present moment
    • Navigating anger + resentment during therapy + healing
    • Reparenting yourself + building emotional independence
    • The truth about going “no contact” with family
    • Why friendships aren’t always convenient—and what that means
    • How to evolve relationships without guilt or forcing alignment
    • Rebuilding intimacy + connection after becoming a parent
    • Why scheduling time for your relationship is essential, not optional

    854. The Science of Pregnancy Nutrition (What Most Doctors Don’t Tell You) with Jessie Inchauspé

    In this episode, glucose expert + bestselling author Jessie Inchauspé reveals the four key nutrients that shape your baby’s brain, metabolism, and lifelong health, sharing essential science from her new book 9 Months That Count Forever: How Your Pregnancy Diet Shapes Your Baby’s Future.


    But before the science, Jessie shares the deeply personal story of her silent miscarriage, the grief that followed, and the anxiety she carried into her next pregnancy. In a vulnerable conversation, she opens up about healing, navigating fear, and holding both grief + hope at the same time.


    Then we dive into the research: how your glucose levels influence your baby’s metabolism, why 90% of moms are deficient in choline, and the surprising foods that support brain development and long-term health. If you’re thinking about pregnancy—this episode is a must-listen.


    We also talk about:

    • Jessie’s experience with silent miscarriage + navigating pregnancy after loss
    • Why 90% of pregnant women are deficient in choline (+ why it matters for brain development)
    • The surprising connection between blood sugar spikes during pregnancy + your baby’s future metabolic health
    • Why the common belief that “the baby takes what it needs” isn’t always true
    • The four key nutrition pillars for pregnancy: choline, glucose balance, protein, and omega-3s
    • How epigenetics during pregnancy can influence a child’s health for life
    • The myth of “eating for two” + what your baby actually needs nutritionally
    • The emotional + physical realities of pregnancy anxiety after miscarriage
    • What Jessie learned about protein intake + muscle development in babies
    • Her experience with natural birth + preparing for labor
