490. Get Lost to Find Yourself with Kimberly Snyder

Nutrition is so much more than chugging green juice smoothies and smashing out sessions on a Peloton. Our relationship to food is an energetic extension of self. It reflects our mental and environmental nourishment on a deep level.When renowned celebrity nutritionist and bestselling author, Kimberly Snyder, made the conscious decision to create something that veered from the existing food narrative, she found her authentic essence. Up close, it wasn’t the number on the scale, the figure in her bank account, or even a partner. It was the groundedness of her daily mindfulness practice, the activation of love as a frequency, and the conscious attention and devotion spent with life’s teachers, such as guru Paramahansa Yogananda. When she was 34-weeks pregnant, she received the download for her next passion project: to distill her life lessons and teachings into a guide to help others discover their limitless potential. In this episode, we dive into her mindfulness masterpiece, “You Are More Than You Think You Are,” and explore how to cultivate practical enlightenment into every fold and fiber of your being.We also talk about: Finding a spiritual connection to nutrition  Why getting lost can help you find yourself  How to cultivate conscious connection   Detaching from ego and external validation  Creativity and channeling a book  Sponsors: FLEX | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% off Flex disc starter kits or 10% off your first Flex cup + free shipping at flexfits.com/almost30 Arrae | Use code “ALMOST30” for 10% off on arrae.co Issuu | Get 50% off a premium account by visiting issuu.com/podcast and using code ALMOST30 House of Wise | Use code “ALMOST30” for $20 off your order at houseofwise.co FX Chocolate | Go to FXchocolate.com and enter code "ALMOST30" for 20% off Resources: Read: “You Are More Than You Think You Are” Website: mysolluna.com Instagram: @_kimberlysnyder 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 Crate Media.

488. Making Sense of God, Religion and Spirituality

Do you believe in God?Contemplating your relationship to spirit can feel supercharged with triggering emotions, especially if we’ve had negative or uninspiring interactions with religion in the past. In this episode, K + L reflect on their spiritual evolution and relationship with God. From traditional rituals of childhood conditioning to the framework they feel aligned with today. They discuss how they navigated resistance around what it means to believe in God, and how the process of unlearning conventions has helped them cultivate a connection with God that feels unconditional, authentic, and life-affirming. We also talk about: Individual journeys with religion  Coming back to a relationship with God  Spectrums of religion Judgements in religion and consequences  How to make spirituality your own Sponsors: Athletic Greens | Get a 1-year supply of Vitamin D + five FREE travel packs with your first purchase at athleticgreens.com/almost30 Bev | Get 20% off your first purchase + free shipping at drinkbev.com/almost30 or use code “ALMOST30” at checkout Elavi | Get 15% off when you use the code ALMOST30 + free shipping on 2 pouches or more at elavi.co  Open | Get 30 days free with the code ALMOST30 at open-together.com/almost30 Daily Harvest | Use code ALMOST30 to get up to $40 off your first box at www.daily-harvest.com/almost30 Resources: “Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion” by Sam Harris  “The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself” by Michael A.

487. Sexual Pleasure + Clearing Blocks in Partnership

Sex carries so much currency in our internal and external landscapes. For many, sexuality is cloaked in shame, fear, or heady expectations that leave us feeling short-changed and disempowered. Fortunately, the tides are shifting with the help of pioneers like Dr. Kate Balestrieri, a sex therapist helping people integrate the physical and emotional components of sex, sexuality, and relationships. True sexual embodiment is a journey, not a destination (the same can be said for orgasms). This conversation undresses all the topics you’ve probably been thinking about but were too scared to utter out loud. Krista, Lindsey, and Dr. Kate candidly untangle the narrative surrounding porn, patriarchy, and partnerships while boldly confronting the common intimacy challenges in modern relationships today. We also talk about: How the nervous system affects pleasure  Navigating expectations around sex Exploring blocks in partnership Why couples therapy works The spectrum of sex positivity Patriarchy and internalized misogyny  Desire, fetish, and ethical porn Tips for elevating your sexual practice  Processing sexual trauma  Sponsors: Zocdoc | Search for local doctors who take your insurance.

483. The Truth About Being an Influencer with Quigley

Quigley tries on roles like beautiful outfits. She’s a singer/performer, blogger, influencer, and creative director. Yet, even with all the accomplishments, glamorous gowns, and a blue tick on Instagram, there are times when Quigley doesn’t feel like she’s enough. When those moments arise, she’s not afraid to lift the veil. If you thought influencers were all #ad posts and destination trips, this conversation will most definitely make you reassess that stance. There are ugly tears, fights, and f*** ups. In this episode, Quigley opens up about her journey from American Idol to motherhood, reflecting on the moment she decided to go all-in on her career (and double her salary in the process) and why she leans into the big sister/mentor energy on social media. Plus, we get her behind-the-scenes takes on parenthood, sexuality as a mother, and talk about her new mission to help people connect on social media. We also talk about: Surviving American Idol  The truth about being an influencer How Quigley found her gifts as a content creator  Social media boundaries and mental health Advice for creating content online  Pregnancy, motherhood, and sexuality  Sponsors:Get discount codes sent directly to your phone.
