- 1 hour 27 minutes918. The red flags you’re WIRED to ignore: How childhood wounds shape your relationships + self-worth
In this episode, attachment expert + relationship educator Dr. Sarah Hensley (aka The Love Doc) joins Krista to unpack why modern dating feels harder than ever—and how our attachment styles shape the relationships we choose, the red flags we overlook, and the love we believe we deserve.
Sarah gets into the complicated dynamics of narcissism, emotional unavailability, and trauma bonds, sharing how childhood experiences can influence the way we show up in love. She reveals why we over-function in relationships, how criticism can reinforce disconnection, and why understanding someone’s behavior is not the same as excusing it.
Drawing from her own experiences, Sarah shares what it takes to break painful relationship patterns + move toward more secure, healthy love. This conversation will change how you see your past relationships—and what you look for in the next one.
We also talk about:
- Fearful avoidance vs. dismissive avoidance
- The difference between attachment patterns + personality disorders
- How to recognize emotional manipulation + weaponized incompetence
- Why some people shut down instead of repairing conflict
- The connection between parentification + over-functioning in love
- Why betrayal blindness can make red flags harder to see
- The cycle of love-bombing, devaluation + discard
- Why some partners return after a breakup—and what may be driving it
- How social media + dating culture shape expectations around commitment
- Building a relationship with someone who genuinely has your back

22 October 2026, 10:00 am - 1 hour 19 minutes917. Why your vitamins aren't working: Absorption, real food, and what your body really needs
In this episode, Lindsey is joined by Krista Maas, founder of Nunona, the world's first organic, real-food prenatal and postnatal vitamin bite. From supplement marketing to the science behind real food, Krista shares why she believes nourishment starts with understanding what we put in our bodies—and what the labels don’t always tell us.
After becoming a mother, Krista saw firsthand how difficult it can be to prioritize your own nutrition while caring for a baby. She shares the story behind creating her real-food vitamin and explores how women’s nutritional needs can shift through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause.
They also unpack the overwhelm of online health advice, the pressure to get everything right as a mom, and how to tell meaningful research from clever marketing. This conversation is a reminder that supporting your health doesn’t have to mean chasing every new trend—it can start with simplifying, getting curious, and making nourishment more accessible.
We also talk about:
- Why “clinically studied” doesn’t always mean effective
- The food matrix + how nutrients work together
- Creatine, quality sourcing, and women’s wellness
- What the first 1,000 days means for maternal health
- Breast milk vs. formula: what each can provide
- Why a postpartum social media detox can be powerful
- The role of fiber, calcium, vitamin D, and omega-3s
- How stress + information overload can undermine self-trust
- Building a science-led business while raising young children
- Why Krista believes experts should make nutrition easier to understand

20 October 2026, 10:00 am - 46 minutes 5 seconds916. How to stay connected when you’re in different seasons of life
In this solo, Lindsey opens up about navigating friendships in different seasons of life, from motherhood to career changes, marriage, and everything in between. She shares why relationship shifts don’t automatically mean something is wrong—and how letting go of expectations can create more space for connection.
She gets into the difference between a friendship that needs more intentionality + one that may be naturally falling away. From having honest conversations about capacity to setting boundaries, Lindsey shares practical ways to stay connected without overextending yourself or making every change mean something.
She also shares simple ways to nurture the people you love through big life transitions, including voice notes, meaningful plans, meals, and small acts of care. This is a reminder that lasting friendships can ebb and flow, enter “winter seasons,” and still come back with fresh energy when you give them room to evolve.
We also talk about:
- Friendship after becoming a mom
- When distance is actually healthy
- The pressure to be a “good friend”
- Supporting friends through grief + major change
- Why one friend often changes seasons first
- How to stop filling silence with assumptions
- Nourishing someone when they’re overwhelmed
- Balancing compassion with accountability
- Being a better friend to yourself
- Planning something to look forward to

Lindsey Burwell, integrated health practitioner + founder of The Patch Method, joins us for a powerful conversation about healing, self-awareness, and learning to trust your body again. She shares how a decade of trials transformed her relationship with her body, her faith, and her purpose.
We get into the pressure to optimize everything, why more isn’t always more, and how Lindsey learned to loosen her grip on perfection. From supplements + wellness routines to intuitive movement + nervous system regulation, she shares what shifted when she stopped treating herself like a project to fix.
Lindsey also opens up about fear of being seen, spiritual warfare, following intuitive nudges, and finding meaning in the hardest seasons of life. Together, we explore what happens when you release the outcome, trust the process, and let your personal transformation become part of your purpose.
We also talk about:
- IVF, motherhood, and feeling like your body has failed you
- The emotional weight of medical diagnoses + uncertainty
- Why perfectionism can become its own form of stress
- Learning to exercise intuitively instead of following every trend
- “Done is better than perfect” in business + visibility

Serena Kerrigan, author of Let’s Fucking Date, joins us for a candid conversation about relationships, self-worth, and the mindset shifts that can completely change the way you date. She gets real about going from chasing validation to knowing you are the chooser.

- How her own bloating, fatigue, and skin issues led her to investigate her gut health

In this episode, Krista + Lindsey explore the idea of the invisible strings connecting our lives. They reflect on the relationships, places, and seemingly random moments that led them exactly where they are—and how much more meaningful life feels when you trust the connections you can’t always see.
They share their wildest invisible-string stories, from dating + marriage to SoulCycle, Almost 30, friendships, and even moments of loss. They explore why some people enter our lives for a lifetime while others arrive to teach us a lesson, shift our path, or help us become someone new.
Plus, they talk about creating more spaciousness in friendships, letting relationships ebb + flow without forcing them, and trusting the path when the dots don’t connect yet. This episode is a reminder that you may not understand where life is taking you—but you can trust that the pieces will make sense when you look back.
We also talk about:
- The invisible string theory + the idea that nothing is truly random
- How Krista + Lindsey’s own strings led them to each other
- Soulmates, karmic relationships, and soul connections
- Why some people are brought into our lives for lessons
- The strange connections between dating, friendship, and career
- How rejection can redirect you toward a more creative chapter
- Letting friendships have more space without assuming the connection is gone
- Trusting your intuition when the path ahead doesn’t make sense
- Why you can’t always connect the dots until you look backward

22 September 2026, 10:00 am - 46 minutes 28 seconds908. Postpartum update part 2: The gift of losing parts of yourself in motherhood
Lindsey is back with part two of her postpartum catch-up, getting honest about personal growth, relationships, and identity after becoming a mom of two. She shares what this season has taught her about asking for help, letting go of comparison, and giving herself permission to do motherhood her own way.
She opens up about marriage, couples therapy, communication, and the reality of doing the relationship work while raising two kids. She also talks about how her priorities have shifted, what she’s temporarily letting go of, and why she’s learning to trust the timing of her creativity + career.
Most of all, Lindsey reflects on the identity shift that comes with a major life transition—and why uncertainty doesn’t have to mean confusion. This is a reminder to give yourself grace, stay present, and trust that the next version of you is allowed to look different.
We also talk about:
- Building a childcare + support system that actually works for you
- Why you shouldn’t compare your motherhood to anyone else’s
- Marriage, couples therapy, and staying connected through big life changes
- Why communication gets harder when you’re overwhelmed
- The identity shift that comes with becoming a mom of two
- Letting go of perfection, productivity, and pressure
- Putting creativity + career on the back burner without abandoning them
- Trusting the ebb + flow of priorities, relationships, and self-care
- Entering a new decade with more uncertainty, curiosity, and trust
