In this solo episode, Krista talks about how relationship (whether friendship, romantic or familial) breakups and endings can provide you with an opportunity to grow and be who you really are, as well as reclaim the parts of you that have been lost and step into more magnetism and truth. Recently, she vulnerably shared about the ending of her 10-year partnership and in this episode, she dives into conscious uncoupling. Instead of trying to be perfect or make someone else be perfect, sometimes setting each other free is the greatest act of love. In the end, if it’s best for you, it’s best for them too. While your decisions might not make sense to others, if you hear the call, it's important to listen, process and act on your truth. We also talk about: Ending relationships  Stepping into truth + love  Respecting the process How to support your friends  Making hard decisions Letting go of people pleasing tendencies Being yourself in relationships How perfectionism is not love Liberating the other person + yourself  Resources: Instagram: @itskrista Related Program: The Sacredness of Being Single Related Episode: How to Know and When to Let Go Sponsors:CURED | Grab Zen and CBN in the Sleep Bundle for an extra 20% off of CURED’s already discounted price by visiting curednutrition.com/almost30 and using the coupon code “ALMOST30” at checkout. IQ Bar | Get 20% off all IQBAR products.

It’s no surprise to the Almost 30 community that your childhood trauma and wounds can shape your adult life. Vienna Pharaon knows this all too well. A licensed marriage and family therapist, and one of New York City’s most sought-after relationship therapists, she has practiced therapy for more than fifteen years and is the founder and owner of the group practice Mindful Marriage and Family Therapy. Today, she joins Krista on the show to discuss her first book, The Origins of You. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been in therapy for decades, or if therapy just isn’t for you. It doesn’t matter if you have countless memories from childhood, or none at all. All that matters is having a willingness to look inside, dig deep, and commit to building the life you want. In this episode, Krista and Vienna discuss how to fully understand the family dynamics and dysfunctions that created what she calls “origin wounds,” as well as the practical work needed to heal our wounds and leave behind the limiting beliefs and behaviors that don’t serve us.We also talk about: Why the “firsts” in your life are important Understanding your family patterns  Remembering your childhood wounds  Fear about recalling the past  What it means to be hypervigilant Living in victim mentality + avoiding healing How there will always be a need to heal + grow  Examples of people unpacking their wounds Resources: Instagram: @mindfulmft    Facebook: Mindful Marriage and Family Therapy Book: The Origins of You Sponsors:Vive Organic | Visit viveorganic.com and use code ALMOST30 at checkout for 15% off your first product.Osea | Get 10% off your first order sitewide with code ALMOST30 at OSEAMalibu.comStoryworth | Save $10 on your first purchase when you go to Storyworth.com/almost30Daily Harvest | Go to dailyharvest.com/almost30 to get up to sixty-five dollars off your first boxCozy Earth | Get 35% off site wide when you use the code ALMOST30 at cozyearth.comTo 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!Almost 30 is edited by Marielle Marlys.
