431. The Infertility Myth with Dr. Cleopatra
Fertility queen, Dr. Cleopatra, is in the Almost 30 house, making K + L’s ovaries burst with love for life, motherhood, and the prospect of creating what she calls “superbabies:” the brainiest, healthiest, most beautiful babies our bodies were meant to have. She has three superbabies of her very own (FYI: she's 43) and has dedicated over 80,000 hours developing and perfecting her primemester protocol. This woman is on a mission, and by the number of questions you guys sent over, it seems you're on the same page. Dr. Cleopatra shares her perspective on every angle of the baby-making process, from nurturing the prime environment and mindset for conception to understanding the environmental and societal factors that work against us. Knowledge is power, and K + L sincerely hope that this episode inspires every woman who is feeling the call to conceive and create her own superbaby. We also talk about: Dr. Cleopatra’s lifelong dedication to fertility The difference between fertility challenges and infertility Modern life, reproduction, and epigenetics How inequality can affect fertility and pregnancy experience Her primemester protocol Creating superbabies The role diet and nutrition play in genetic expression Exploring pleasure energy Questions from the community Spirituality in her practice Find more to love at almost30.com!

429. Jamie Kern Lima Built a Billion Dollar Business by Being Herself
It’s hard to believe that someone who has built a billion-dollar brand could ever feel doubts about anything in their life, especially when they’ve ticked off all the things. But today’s Almost 30 guest, Jamie Kern Lima, isn’t afraid to get real and vulnerable about what goes on behind the mask. Today, she reveals all her doubts, from the, Are You There-God? It’s Me, Jamie moments and past career qualms to questions about self-worth and her body – the last puzzle piece she’s currently dead set on solving (aren’t we all)? Her latest book, “Believe IT,” illustrates how she became resolute in her mission to, not only, build a cosmetic empire, but to do it her way, even when doors were slamming in her face. She made it, BIG, but found herself dimming her light in the name of “being humble” and not owning her achievements. Today, she wholly owns her story, hoping that it will help inspire everyone out there to BELIEVE they can do IT too. Can we get an amen?

428. Biohack Your Skin + Dental Care with Trina Felber
Today’s guest, Trina Felber, used to be your typical commercial skincare addict with a bathroom shelf laden with (toxic) products that weren’t delivering what they said on their (plastic) packaging. After discovering the benefits of using natural olive oil on her face (the true first paleo-friendly skincare), she cured her acne, scars and found her skin looking dewier and plumper than ever before. It took her on a long detoxification journey which eventually led her to launch her own organic, non-toxic, clean skincare and dental hygiene company, Primal Life Organics. Together we get real on the beauty products and ingredients that are failing us and talk about why skin, teeth, and gums are mirrors to your inner ecosystem. She breaks down the elements you should be adding to your skincare and dental routine and the dangerous devils you should be scoping out on your toiletry labels. We also talk about: The fantastic results she found changing her skincare regime Launching Primal Life Organics The nutrients found in natural oils What to look out for on labels Using clay and carbon to detoxify Feeding your skin seasonally What you should consider before getting Botox SPF toxic truths Detoxifying your dental routine “Leaky gums” and how to reverse gum disease Find more to love at almost30.com!

425. Astrology for the Collective Awakening with David Palmer
There’s no smoke and mirrors when it comes to celebrity astrologer and spiritual influencer David Palmer, aka The Leo King, devoted truth-seeker and student of the stars. He was making waves on the astrological scene long before astrology morphed into the trending topic that it is, today. So much of mainstream astrology orbits the specifics, leaving you sated but not wholly satisfied. David's profound strides towards the truth, however, push through the darkness, to search for the real deal. Kristi, Lindsey, and David unpack science, the planets, pandemics, relationships, and God through the lens of astrology and piece together the multi-dimensional shifts we've been experiencing as a collective since 2012. After discussing the foundations of hermeticism and the outlook for 2021 (FYI: you're in for a wild ride), David dives into Almost 30's birth charts, examining K + L's astrological focus for the rest of the year. We also talk about: Hermeticism and alchemy Synchronicities in our collective search for truth The 2021 forecast Death of relationships Astrology’s connection to the divine Examining our birth charts Find more to love at almost30.com!

Lindsey walks through her experience with enmeshment and how she is processing behavioral patterns with her therapist and her loved ones.

Lindsey hopes this episode will inspire you to reflect on where enmeshment shows up in your life and seek the support necessary to step into your highest self. We also talk about: Family enmeshment and self-advocacy Seeking outside validation Shame and guilt when you choose to against the grain How enmeshment shows up as an adult Self-abandonment How I’m healing in real-time Find more to love at almost30.com!

423. The Science of Meditation with Emily Fletcher
In the first episode dedicated to the science of meditation, Lindsey and Krista connect with grounded guru and renowned meditation teacher, Emily Fletcher, (who’s had 50,000 students and counting). She’s also the founder of Ziva Meditation. Emily delivers some serious science mic drops in the conversation as she dispels meditation myths that encourage the eye-roll response from naysayers when you say, “meditation changed your life.” The facts can’t be swept under the mediation cushion anymore because this s*** actually affects your brain chemistry and has been scientifically proven to turn you into a productive powerhouse. Almost 30 decodes the cognitive benefits of meditation and how leaning into the practice can help you process your feelings (ugly crying included), listen to nature’s signals, and manifest from your highest, most present self. We also talk about: Her breakdown in Broadway to her breakthrough in India Myths around meditation How meditation impacts the physical body Productivity and meditation Meditation, manifestation, and the in-between Toxic positivity and surrendering to your feelings Meditating for the collective Personal challenges Find more to love at almost30.com!
