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.Cymbiotika | Use code ALMOST30 at checkout for 15% off your first purchase at cymbiotika.com/discount/ALMOST30.Alo Moves | Go to alomoves.com and use the all caps code ALMOST30 to get a free 30-day trial, plus 50% off an annual membership. De Lune | Get 23% off your first order of full-cycle hormonal support by De Lune with code ALMOST30 at cyclehealth.com/almost30. Learn more: almost30.com/learn almost30.com/morningmicrodose almost30.com/podcast-pro 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!

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!)

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. All too often, people feel lonely (even when in a relationship) and lack the fundamental tools needed to make their partnerships last. That’s why in this episode, Jay and Krista go deep and talk about specific, actionable steps to help you develop the skills to practice and nurture love, so that you can better love yourself, others and the world around you. We also talk about: Why many people feel lonely in relationship  Cultural expectations of love  How social media and pop culture have perpetuated a false sense of love  The difference between solitude and loneliness  What love is not (Hint: attraction, attention seeking, validation and control)  Defining love through three main components How to grow with your partner (even if you’re growing at a different pace) The varying roles in a relationship—”fixer,” “dependent,” and “supporter” Jay’s second book, 8 Rules of Love is available for purchase at 8RulesofLove.com and wherever books are sold!

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.Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer. Find more to love at almost30.com!Almost 30 is edited by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:De Lune | Leave bad periods behind with De Lune.

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.
