549. Emotional Maturity and its Importance in Relationships
Prolific author and poet, Diego Perez, aka Yung Pueblo, sits with Lindsey for this special episode on the powers of meditation, living in partnership, the creative process, and so much more. We also talk about Lighter, his new book, inspired by the feeling of shedding weight and past traumas he’s experienced through his advanced meditation practice.Diego shares some great wedding tips and explains how he and his wife go ten, sometimes forty-five, days at a time without seeing or speaking to one another at meditation retreats – and how finding the practice has changed his worldview forever. It might sound cliche, but this conversation will leave you feeling lighter. Diego’s words and deep wisdom, especially outside of the questionable confines of social media (which we also unpack), are powerful and resonant. We also talk about:
Emotional immaturity vs. maturity
Preventative communication
Meditation practice
Finding your intuition
Living in partnership
Diego’s creative process
Who is Yung Pueblo?
Relationship with the past

548. How an Empath Can Take Their Power Back and Fulfill Their Purpose
In today’s solo episode, Krista drops in for part two of her deep dive on empathy, codependency, and enmeshment to break down their similarities and importance differences. Who are you, really? And why is it so hard for highly sensitive people to untangle the answer from everything around them?Your empathic gifts don’t need to be a weight on your life, or a curtain blocking the light from coming through. If understood and acknowledged from a place of personal love and acceptance, they can be your superpower. We all have some of it within us; Krista gets extra personal in this one to illustrate that very point. We also talk about:
Powers of an empath
Intro to codependency
Krista’s childhood denying her gifts
Loyalty vs. low self-worth
Energy matching for safety
Empathy as performance
Validate me, internet
Speaking + living in truth
Attachment styles

542. Unlocking True Enlightenment (There Are Levels to This Shit) with Peter Crone
Peter Crone is a modern-day thought leader who’s unafraid to speak, and live, his truth. He joins Krista today for a deeply expansive and thought provoking episode where they untangle the complexities of the masculine/feminine dynamic, both in an ideal (Nirvana-state, as he describes it) and in the strained environment of our current reality.He’s the kind of person who elicits a feeling of hope for all of us, that what pains us or challenges us may, not only be washed away in an instant, but be repurposed as fuel for further evolution, for allowing us to unlock the next plane of consciousness and enlightenment. It all sounds so easy, and at times, so hard. But he reminds us of the deep beauty contained in the process itself.The elevation of this conversation sheds light on many perspectives that we overlook in our day-to-day lives, perspectives that determine our being and who we will, or can, become. Settle in for a deep one, family.We also talk about:
Presence is beauty
How words affect us reveals how we really feel
Identifying a victim mindset
Frequency precedes form
Criticism vs. encouragement
The mechanism of lying
The potential in masculinity
Being willing to think, and live, differently
