Almost 30

812. Stop Shrinking, Start Speaking Up, and Level Up Your Life


Listen Later

In this unfiltered advice episode, K+L tackle your most relatable life dilemmas—from modern dating confusion to sticky workplace dynamics. If you’ve ever wondered how to ask “what are we?”, say no to yet another bachelorette weekend, or finally stop people-pleasing, this one’s for you.


Ahead, the girls get real about setting boundaries without guilt, finding clarity in love + friendships, and reclaiming your confidence when everyone else’s opinions get loud. Through grounded spiritual wisdom, K+L explore how self-respect is the foundation for every healthy relationship.


Walk away with easy scripts, mindset shifts, and empowering permission to speak up for what you deserve—in dating, friendships, and your career. This conversation is a reminder that honoring your truth doesn’t make you difficult—it makes you magnetic.


We also talk about:

  • Navigating toxic workplace dynamics + asking for a raise
  • When your partner’s video game habit crosses a line (and how to address it kindly)-The truth about people-pleasing + how to stop betraying yourself to keep the peace
  • Real-life scripts for setting boundaries at work, in love, and with friends
  • How to give honest feedback to loved ones without guilt or drama
  • Microdosing, creativity, and how self-awareness can unlock confidence
  • Why clarity around your needs leads to more authentic connection
  • Building self-worth through small acts of radical honesty
