Almost 30

In this episode, Krista examines the scientific root of comparison and the knock-on effects it can have on one's confidence and sense of self. Everyone can relate to the sensation of seeing green when a friend or someone you know or admire achieves a life milestone you're yearning for. It's human, it's real, and can be mentally excruciating – if you fall down the rabbit hole of negative self-talk. When Krista caught herself slipping down the comparison spiral, she decided to delve into the rationale behind it, and explore the theme with Almost 30 Nation in greater detail. Tune in to uncover Krista's spiritual support system that allows you to break free from comparative thought loops and step back into your power.We also talk about: The science of comparison  Why some people are prone to comparing themselves to others  Identifying your inner-critic How to with comparison and negative self-talk  Learning to be your own best friend and hyping up yourself Reframing comparison Living uncensored Resources:Research studyJoin 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!This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

K + L get into throwback mode and reflect on how they started their podcast. Six years ago they were two 20-something-year-olds in the vortex of their Saturn return recording on a closet floor. Today, they’re two 30-something-year-olds with an incredible Almost 30 community. So much has unfolded over the years, and it’s been one heck of an epic ride! This episode was inspired by Almost 30’s six-part podcast masterclass for Bossbabe’s membership program, The Societé. In this intimate behind-the-mics look at Almost 30, K+ L share what they learned about the business of podcasting along the way, from navigating multiple jobs and work identities to starting a business partnership and marketing your brand to the world.We also talk about: How to blend business and friendship successfully  The best way to organically grow your podcast alongside your business  How to promote and market your podcast on social media  Time management and learning skills  Work identities and expressing your true self Resources: Join The Societé Masterclass by Almost 30: bossbabe.com/almost-30 Join Podcast Pro: almost30.com/podcast-pro Listen: Krista & Lindsey on The BossBabe Podcast Listen: BossBabe Founders, Natalie & Danielle on Almost 30 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!This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
