Are you jealous of something or someone? What scares you? Where do you see friction in your life? As dreams grow, fears do too. Few know this as well as Mel Robbins. A New York Times Bestselling author and self-publishing phenom, Mel’s work includes The High 5 Habit, The 5 Second Rule, and The Mel Robbins Podcast. Her female-led media company produces provocative, life-changing content, with millions of books sold, billions of video views, six #1 audiobooks, and one of the most viewed TEDx talks in the world.   In this episode, Mel teaches us about unveiling desires, following dreams and shifting identities. And perhaps most importantly: calling your own bullshit.  We learn how to discover, follow and commit to what we truly want through emotions that are usually identified as negative. Mel opens up about the courage it took her to overcome imposter syndrome – in spite of being one of the most successful speakers – in order to launch her podcast and how she learned to liberate herself of labels. To put it simply, Mel and K+L covered and uncovered a lot, learned new tools and had major perspective shifts, and their hope is the same for you! We also talk about:  Imposter syndrome Why your fears grow concurrently with your dreams Learning from jealousy How to get in touch with your true desires  Steps to approach your goals easily The research behind procrastination  The science behind motivating yourself Moving into a space of self-love and motivation Learning attachment styles in relationships  The truth behind narcissism and narcissistic tendencies  How social media affects our interpersonal connections Why adult friendships are so hard  The natural evolution of friendship    Resources:  The Mel Robbins Podcast: Listen on  Apple or  Spotify YouTube: @melrobbins Instagram: melrobbins Website: melrobbins.com Books: melrobbins.com/books    Episode Related Resources:   Blog:  Change Your Life With The High 5 Habit from Mel Robbins Watch Episode 460 on YouTube Listen to Episode 460 on Apple Podcasts or Spotify    Sponsors: The Invitation | A Relationship Breakup Series.

590. Numerology: Insight for Your Life Path, Karma + True Desires

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the amount of self-help information, courses and books that are at your disposal? Time and time again, K+L have found that the simplest methods, like breathing, meditation…and tapping, are some of the best techniques to ground and open their hearts.  In this episode, Lindsey and Brad Yates, aka Tapping with Brad, discuss the roots of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT, also known as tapping), a practice that helps to shift your mindset, clear anxiety and move stuck energy. Sometimes all you need to do is put down your phone and remember that freedom is literally at your fingertips.  We also talk about:  What are meridian points  The benefits of tapping  How to move stuck energy  The problem with affirmations Manifest through EFT   Clear anxiety and shift your mindset There’s no such thing as “negative” emotions    Resources:  Book:  Freedom At Your Fingertips Children’s Book: The Wizard’s Wish  Documentary: The Tapping Solution  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/tapwithbrad Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TapWithBrad Instagram: http://instagram.com/tapwithbrad Twitter: http://twitter.com/tapwithbrad TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tapwithbrad Website: www.tapwithbrad.com     More Resources:   Building a Legacy of Love by Christie Burn Yates  Illusions by Richard Bach    Sponsors: Seed | Visit seed.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 to redeem 20% off.  Mud/Wtr | Go to mudwtr.com/a30 to support the show and use code A30 for 15% off.  LMNT | Get 8 single serving packets FREE with any LMNT order at DrinkLMNT.com/ALMOST30.  HelloFresh | Go to HelloFresh.com/60almost30 and use code 60almost30 for 60% off plus free shipping.  To advertise on our podcast, please reach out to sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/Almost30.    Learn More:  almost30.com/learn almost30.com/morningmicrodose almost30.com/courses     Join our community:  almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups  Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!

589. Release Old Stories, Manifest Your Dreams and Rewire Your Brain with EFT

Is there just one “you”? We have been taught that we have a single identity, but when the voices inside our heads don’t match our own self perception, emotions heighten and we might even question our entire existence. Want to know a little secret? You’re not alone in feeling this way, but feel liberated in knowing that there are no “bad” parts of you.  Dr. Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems (IFS) model has been transforming psychology for decades and we are honored to have him on the show to talk about his new book “No Bad Parts.” In this episode, you’ll learn what IFS is and why it has been so effective in areas such as trauma recovery.  You’ll also hear role play with both K+L, as Dr. Schwartz walks them through uncovering their own abandoned parts. When we learn to love all of our parts, we can learn to love all people, and ultimately this can help heal ourselves and the world.  We also talk about:  What is the Internal Family System model?  The importance of honoring and communicating with our parts Making often maligned parts into powerful allies How IFS reveals that there are no bad parts K+L on their abandoned parts  Psychedelics and IFS  The power of your “protector” part    Resources:  Website: www.ifs-institute.com  Instagram: @internalfamilysystems   Facebook: @InternalFamilySystems  Twitter: @IFS_Model  LinkedIn: IFS Institute  No Bad Parts  The Evolution of The Internal Family Systems Model  The Larger Self    Books:  Internal Family Systems: Skills Training Manual Many Minds, One Self You Are The One You've Been Waiting For The Mosaic Mind Internal Family Systems Therapy - 2nd Edition Introduction to the Internal Family Systems Model Level 1 Bundle: Internal Family Systems Therapy - 2nd Edition, Introduction to the Internal Family Systems Model, Mosaic Mind    Sponsors: Analemma Water | Try Analemma water at coherent-water.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off.  IQ Bar | Get 20% off all IQBar products, plus get FREE shipping.

588. There Are No Bad Parts of You: Accepting Yourself with IFS

Vivek Ramaswamy is a New York Times bestselling author and a successful entrepreneur, who joins Krista on the podcast to discuss the importance of diversity of thought. A first-generation American, he has founded multibillion-dollar enterprises, led a biotech company as a CEO and studied at Ivy League universities.  Now, in his latest book, Woke Inc., he takes us behind the scenes into corporate boardrooms, five-star conferences, university classrooms and more, to reveal the industrial complex that has divided us as a society. In this episode, Vivek and Krista discuss how America’s elites prey on our innermost insecurities about who we really are. Vivek not only rips back the curtain on the new corporatist agenda, but also offers a way forward—exploring what it means to be an American today.  We also talk about:  What makes a healthy democratic society The importance of diversity of thought Why society latches onto organizing principles  The negative impacts of cancel culture and “wokeness” Racism in the United States today The hypocrisy of corporations   Resources:  Twitter:   @VivekGRamaswamy Facebook: Vivek Ramaswamy Instagram: vivekgramaswamy Book:   Woke, Inc.   Related Content:  Listen to Episode 413.

587. Hypocrisy of Wokeness and Corporate America's Social Justice Scam

In this solo episode, Krista opens her heart for a deeply personal and vulnerable conversation about how to know and when to let go. In a society obsessed with adding more into our lives via to-do lists, courses, books, posts, etc., we hardly ever stop to think about what we can release.  Krista has found that when she let go of relationships, careers, friendships and parts of herself that were no longer aligned, she experienced greater expansion, growth and ultimately, love. In order to create a life you love, you have to create space—and that’s what this episode is all about.  To put it simply, you cannot open the door to the future you seek while holding onto your past…and when love no longer helps us to be the person we want to be, it’s time to let go.  We also talk about:   Why we over consume to protect ourselves   Letting go of relationships and careers   What is the Life Edit program   How to create space to receive clarity    The pain of leaving people behind    Following your heart and soul    Consciously uncoupling    The importance of choosing again and again    Recognizing pain as a portal towards growth    Creating the future you seek   Seeing forgiveness as freedom    Empowering yourself to take action    Resources:   Instagram: @itskrista   The Life Edit program     Sponsors: Seed | Visit seed.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 to redeem 20% off your first month of Seed's DS-01® Daily Synbiotic.  IQ Bar | Get 20% off all IQBAR products.

586. How to Know and When to Let Go

Do you ever feel like you’re constantly being told to be positive? Whether its through mantras like “good vibes only” and “look on the brightside,” not to mention the endless inspirational quotes and often well intended advice (both online and off), it can feel like silencing our emotions is the only way to live a “happy life.” Whitney Goodman is a radically honest psychotherapist, whose new book, Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real In A World Obsessed With Being Happy, shows readers how to shift the goal from being happy to being authentic in order to live fully. A millennial on a quest to make mental health information accessible and easy to understand, Whitney helps people who want to improve their relationships and emotional wellness. In this episode, Lindsey and Whitney unpack how damaging toxic positivity can be to both ourselves and our relationships. She also provides us with tangible tools on how to work through and process difficult emotions to experience a more fulfilled and authentic life.  We also talk about:   What is toxic positivity    How to hold space for yourself and others    Developing a solid foundation in your relationships    Feeling connected to your body   Recognizing and preventing burn out    Unpacking your lifestyle and your systems    Why humans resist loneliness and change   Releasing the need to control your emotions   Resources:   Read:  Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy   Instagram: @sitwithwhit   Sponsors: Osea | Head to oseamalibu.com and use code ALMOST30 for 10% off.  Issuu | Get started with Issuu today for FREE or sign up for an annual premium account and get 50% off when you go to issuu.com/podcast and use promo code ALMOST30.

585. Toxic Positivity: How It's Holding You Back From Processing Emotions and Connecting Authentically

The iconic business leader, Bozoma Saint John, comes on the show to discuss her latest venture—her memoir, The Urgent Life. She takes readers through the numbing days of multiple griefs and the courage which these sparked in her to live a life in accordance with her values. K+L have a meaningful, vulnerable conversation that, despites its heavy topics, still features a lot of laughter (one of the many reasons they love Bozoma).  In this episode, the girls dive deep into why Bozoma decided to live life urgently. Her life has been encompassed by many highs and lows, one of which was the death of her husband, Peter. No stranger to adversity, Bozoma recounts life’s tragedies and how she learned to build a remarkable life worth living (even in her brokenness).  Bozoma’s story is heartbreakingly beautiful, though many of its themes are not uncommon. Our hope is this conversation will inspire any listener who has loved, mourned and is finding their way forward, to live life to the fullest.  We also talk about:   Being a Black woman in corporate America   Embracing her identity unapologetically    Knowing when to make a career change    Wrestling with the ego and learning to let go of identities    Trusting the Soul to light the path forward    Dealing with the loss of her husband and daughter    Navigating and carrying two different types of grief    How grief shifted her perspective on life and self    The challenges of motherhood and pursuing a career    Giving her daughter an empowered voice within the house   Defining urgency (Hint: it’s about intention!)

584. Navigating Grief, Letting Go of Identities and Living Fully with Bozoma Saint John

We are so thrilled to welcome back to the show, Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author, award-winning storyteller, podcast host, and former monk, dedicated to helping people train their mind for peace and purpose every day. He recently released his second book, “8 Rules of Love: How to Find It, Keep It, and Let It Go.”  The truth is, nobody sits down and teaches us love—how to give and fully receive it. Oftentimes, our idea of romance is based on pop culture or movies, but love is nuanced and should be cherished and cultivated.

583. How to Find, Cultivate and Keep Real Love with Jay Shetty

Join Lindsey for this honest and revealing solo journey into the energetics of distraction and focus. Recently back from an Instagram hiatus, she’s observed some pretty stark truths about her own behavior, and shares how she’s using those lessons to discover a truer, deeper sense of self. But make no mistake. There is no right and wrong at play today. Your distractions are not faults to fix; they are merely reactions we may seek to further understand.  We’re not blaming the phone. We’re not blaming the gym, or social media, or even other people. We’re getting curious about why we do the things we do – replacing the noise of guilt and shame with the stillness and quiet of focus.   We also talk about:  Finding compassion for self  Looking back at her single season  Reasons we lean into distractions How can distraction serve us Examples of distraction  Getting curious with your own behavior  Energetics of distraction Reclaiming your focus  Practices for getting curious    Resources:  Group Program: Sacredness of Being Single   Join our community:  almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups    To advertise on our podcast, please reach out to sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/Almost30.

581. Maryam Hasnaa Part II: Love Templates For a New Age

Maryam Hasnaa is a profound natural resource of innate wisdom and relational insight. She's also not someone who sits down for in-depth interviews very often, so it was really beautiful, especially, to have her in the studio for this powerful extended conversation. In this, part one of K+L’s inspired chat with Maryam, you'll learn a lot about energetics. You'll learn a lot about authenticity and how to shift your energy. You will learn a lot about energy matching, hooking, sacred pauses – all of these really powerful interpersonal concepts that will truly change your life if you understand and apply them. Don’t miss part two, Thursday of this week, as this conversation is continued, delving deeper into healthy relationships, relationship templates, soul contracts, evolving and devolving, and much more in that realm of energetic wellness.  We also talk about:  Energetics of conspiracy theories  What is energy matching?

Jessie Inchauspé, AKA, Glucose Goddess, is a biochemist with a message for the world on clean eating and vibrant living. She joins K+L in the studio for a star seed transmission that will change how you think about full-body health – really. And it all comes down to our blood sugar. We unpack the science of cravings; skin health and hormones; good (and bad) smoothies; healthy blood sugar ranges; lifestyle factors like caffeine, exercise, and stress; and why glucose levels are important – even if you're not diabetic. The conversation around blood sugar is incredibly important. It's long awaited and long overdue for us to be mindful about this aspect of our health. And Jessie is the perfect vessel to deliver this important science-backed message to the community.  We also talk about:  How breaking her back split her mind Becoming the Glucose Goddess Why the focus on glucose?

579. How to Hack Your Glucose Levels for Skin, Weight, Energy, Aging + Hormones with The Glucose Goddess

Here on Almost 30, we like to talk about spirituality, health, and wellness – and this fascinating conversation marries all three subjects in a way that we know you'll love. K+L chat with Mario Brainovic of Analemma, a cosmically inspired technology company that’s on a mission to infuse consciousness (back) into all of the world’s water. We’re welcoming in some new and inspiring ideas for this one, as we do a dive deep on the research, the science, and the significance of structured water. In short, the new information presented in this conversation will change how you see and interact with water forever. Don’t worry – it all makes perfect sense as soon as we get into it.  It’s a concept Mario has been developing for fifteen years, but one that’s still brand new on the scene in terms of awareness and understanding. We’re excited for you all to hear the studies that they've done with people, and with plants, that prove how structured water affects your light body, as well as your ability to grow, thrive and be vibrant. In addition to the technology, we talk a lot about the state of water today, access to structured water around the world, and what Mario sees as the future of water – and life as we know it.

578. Transform Your Water, Transform Your Life: The How and Why of Coherent H2O

Your brain changes when you're on birth control, that’s just the reality of it. The conversation around birth control and contraception, and even fertility, is one we've been having for a while on the podcast. It’s an incredibly complex subject and one we’re excited to delve further into with Dr. Sarah E. Hill. Dr. Sarah is the author of Your Brain On Birth Control, and she’s one the world’s foremost leaders on women’s health, especially as it relates to hormonal birth control and what influence it has on our bodies, our brains, and our lives. Our goal with this one is not to shame anyone that's on birth control, or an IUD, or whatever works best for you. Our goal is to always bring you leading-edge, curious conversations that empower you to explore these topics and concepts on your own – in your sovereignty – and then make the best decision that works for you. We also talk about:  Your brain on birth control Lifting the veil  Birth control and feminism  Social dynamic of going on the pill The science of synthetic hormones  Learning about estrogen  Partner preferences, on vs. off True or false?

577. Lifting the Veil: Understanding the Impact of Hormonal Birth Control

If you're listening to this podcast, you probably are already doing a lot of work, a lot of personal growth work, a lot of therapy, a lot of courses, a lot of programs. You're probably following all the right quote accounts and all the right inspirational creators – all of it, all of it, all of it. But today, we ask: Why? This special solo episode with Krista is all about bringing our intentions into question. Especially in 2023, our intention behind all of these personal growth and self-development practices is critically important. Our intention is truly everything – it even changes our molecules! And without it, we end up on a negative feedback loop, right where we started. We also talk about:  Intention behind self-development work  Showing gratitude for nourishment Enjoying food vs. negative thoughts  Internal Family Systems Energetics of intention  Accepting who we are Owning the path of an empath Practices for getting right on the inside   Resources:  Finding Everything in Nothing: Darkness Retreat Recap #569 Use This Method for a Better Relationship with Your Body #522  Join our community:  almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups  Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!
