Krista's Corporate Burnout to Purpose
Krista recounts her corporate burnout, SoulCycle auditions, and how rock bottom led to meeting Lindsay and starting Almost 30.
In this episode, Krista breaks down the biggest myths around “finding your purpose,” revealing why your pain + personal journey—not your talents—may be the true key to fulfillment. Get ready for raw stories from Krista, spiritual insight, and new motivation to step into your most powerful self.
Are you feeling restless, misaligned at your corporate job, or haunted by the question, “Am I living the life I was meant for?” Krista shares her unfiltered journey from corporate burnout to podcasting powerhouse, giving you the inside look at how her struggles + wounds became her greatest gifts.
