614. How to Both Accept Yourself and Change Yourself
Does self acceptance mean no self-improvement? When do we lean into self-development practices and when do we just accept ourselves as we are? In this solo episode, Krista shares tangible steps on how to balance self-love + self-improvement because—spoiler—the two ways of being can co-exist. When you love yourself, there’s a vibrancy to your energy that supports you to live a productive life, i.e., you might give back to your community, spend your free time in nature or leave an impact on your family and friends. The idea that we need to control or manage who we are, so that we don’t overeat, spend an excess amount of time on our phones or stay in our homes for days on end is interesting to think about and a topic Krista doesn’t hold back on. We also talk about:
The spiritual ego
Mindful eating + being present
What it means to be in control
Befriending the manager part of us
How to be self-accepting
Scheduling in time for complacency
Celebrating through the process
Understanding perfectionist tendencies
Being mindful of self-loathing or hate

612. Love Yourself More, Fix Yourself Less with Danielle LaPorte
In Oprah Winfrey’s words, Danielle LaPorte “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters,” and here at Almost 30, we couldn’t agree more. We’re so grateful to welcome Danielle back on the show. In this episode, Krista + Danielle, talk about the true meaning of spirituality and concepts of her recently published book, How to Be Loving…when your heart is breaking open and the world is waking up. Danielle believes that we should focus less on fixing ourselves because when we focus on living from our heart center, anything that’s not in alignment with that Light falls away. Get ready for a nuanced perspective on the life changing power of self compassion, shadow work and being more receptive to higher guidance.We also talk about:
Unwounded parts of self
Taking breaks in life
Having spiritual seasons
Striving for success + self acceptance
The universe + selfishness
Desire + aversion
Living from your heart
Manifesting with intention
Defining the law of attraction
