Ep. 85 - Charity Lighten on Digestion, Intermittent Fasting + Facing Cancer With Your Spouse
Charity Lighten is here to inspire and teach. For most of her life she was “dying to be skinny.” We discuss her path to an inner awakening that has led her to honor her body and pursue a career as a Plant-Based Nutritionist + Food for Life Cooking Instructor. She is on a mission to inspire and educate people on keeping our bodies healthy, so that we don’t wait until we are sick to do something about it. Krista and Linds are obsessed with how the gut and bacteria affect our brain, digestion, mood, and holistic health, so this conversation is really enlightening (and emotional!). Charity also opens up about her husband’s battle with cancer. Perhaps the most inspiring part of this conversation was the way in which the Lighten chooses love over fear EVERY DAY. Grab your tissues. You can expect to learn more about: How to stay positive in the face of so much pain How her faith has taught her to trust the plan and find peace How Charity finds BEAUTY and LOVE in the most unlikely places – even cancer The Human Microbiome Project How society is creating a barrier between humans and the ecosystem of bacteria we need to THRIVE What we really mean when we say “gut” + how to promote good gut health How you can harm your healthy bacteria A deep dive into the gut-brain connection Charity’s thoughts on enemas + colonics How different DIETS affect bacteria + disease Learn more at almost30podcast.com.

Ep. 80 Your New Formula For Manifesting Your Dream Life With Lacy Phillips
Today on Almost 30, Krista and Lindsey are honored to welcome Lacy Phillips. She is the creative, connected spirit behind the blog Free and Native and a Manifestation Advisor. She had a conscious awakening at 25, which changed the trajectory of her life. Started manifesting her own way after reading a slew of manifestation books that didn't resonate with her. We talk to Lacy about the birth of Free and Native and how she began sharing her own way of manifesting with friends and clients. Soon she realized, IT WORKED. Are you feeling stuck? Wrapped up in the self-help books and wanting clarity on the process to attract what you want? Do you consistently attract the same type of people or the same type of chaos? Are you curious about the deep connection between your subconscious and your reality? Do you want to call in your future partner? If you are simply on a journey to get to know yourself better.....than this episode is for you. We talk about: How Lacy's method of manifesting is fundamentally different than mainstream methods What is reparenting?
How the subconscious mind is the magnet in manifestation The purpose of lessons and tests from the universe as it pertains to manifestation Lacy's version of hypnosis Doing the homework and observing the shifting self Reprogramming smallness and finding accountability What are expanders?
How to call in your future partner #Almost30nation, we are so stoked to hear from you once you start implementing Lacy's manifestation method. It's exciting and empowering when you realize that you have the ability to attract what you want most in this life. Be sure to check out Lacy's blog, Free and Native, linked above!

Ep. 79 Leading Lady Mia Serafino On Hollywood, Doing The Work, + Being A Female In Film
Ever wondered what it's actually like to "Follow The Yellow Brick Road"? Well, newsflash IT'S HARD WORK. And the hilarious and talented rising star, MIA SERAFINO is here to tell us why. We're in need of some serious everyday inspo so get ready for grounded girl talk with Mia, an actress who's been on Shameless, Saving Mr. Banks, Crowded, and you guessed it, Oz: The Great & Powerful. This episode is honest and hilarious. We talk about the true consistency it takes to get what you want when pursuing your dream, being an actress in a town like L.A, putting your head down and doing the work, her transition between her early 20's and her late 20's, the challenges of being female in the entertainment industry, doubling for Mila Kunis, and kissing Hugh Jackman. That's right, HUGH FUCKING JACKMAN. Who then became one of her major acting mentors. #SAME. Mia inspired us to the MAX, sharing her mantras that make her feel legitimate and confident in any situation. But in terms of the battle of balance - relationships, career, your craft, money, and everything in between - even if you're not an actress, this conversation is something that we can all relate to. Some goodies from this episode... "I never cared about being famous, I just wanted to be good." "The harder I worked, the luckier I got." "When you just make it about the work, nothing else matters."
