  • Ep. 68 - The Expectation Hangover + the Art of Letting Go with Guru of Change Christine Hassler

    This week we bring on one of our long-time idols and guru for all things motivational, CHRISTINE HASSLER. Basically, she's a personal transformation genius - along with a bestselling author, podcast host, TV show host on TLC, & keynote speaker. She's a go-to mind for seeking clarity in any part of life, whether it's love, relationships, careers, personal goals, and most importantly, the immense change that happens in your 20's and 30's.


    By the time she was 25, she was the youngest agent in Hollywood, getting promoted, attending all of the award shows, making more money than most people her age, and dating a hot-shot producer. She had it all ... but did she? That's what we dive into. This realization that she wasn't truly doing things for herself sparked her big transition, which included quitting her job, going in debt, and losing the love her life by the time she was 26. So needless to say, things were changing and she decided to do something about it. MAJOR KEYWORDS here, people: beliefs, decisions, change, identity ... And not to mention, all of these GOLDEN goodies from Christine:

    • in your 20's you think every decision is a forever decision
    • living for society or living for yourself
    • being a victim or a creator in any difficult situations
    • the idea that things need to fall apart to be rebuilt
    • how everyone deals with their emotions/insecurities/fears, ie. behavior, mannerisms, actions, mentality, etc.
    • as children we don't have control over what happens to us, but when you're an adult, it's UP TO YOU, which can be scary
    • "reacting to the programming" - how did you grow up, what were you told, what does it mean & how does it effect our own personal decisions?
    • what do you BELIEVE about life that makes IT HARDER?
    • ANXIETY coming from beliefs that don't serve us
    • we spend more time avoiding rejecting instead of doing what we want
    • how to show up EXTERNALLY + INTERNALLY for yourself in order to handle REJECTION
    • the toxic game of PEOPLE PLEASING
    • Get ready to walk away from this ep feeling MOTIVATED, BADASS, + READY AF for everything!

  • Ep. 67 - Solo Dolo: Krista + Linds Are Back for the Ultimate Uncensored Catch-Up!

    "OH HI, HOW ARE YA?  WHAT'S NEW?!  OH EVERYTHING?"....Basically, how this episode starts.  Krista and Lindsey are so in love with #almost30nation, wrapped around all of your lil fingers, that they have not made the time to actually sit down and catch the f*ck up!  So they decided to lock themselves in the studio and do that.  Krista just got back from a few weeks of traveling--she attended 100 weddings and tried to avoid talking about being vegan because LET HER LIVE.  We get all of the travel deets and dont's.  As we follow the convo, the girls get honest about their pet peeves, Lindsey's dating life, and thoughts on aliens.  And then the conversation takes on a mind of it's own:

    • Lindsey receives a sex toy box at work
    • The Erewhon Chronicles
    • WTF is happening at FB...Artificial intelligence going rogue!?
    • Why communication between guys and girls is just the hardest thing you'll ever master

    And finally, they answer your questions!  We cover morning routines, supplements, how they juggle all of the jobs, projects, hustles...


     


    Lindsey + Krista want to hear more from you!  Like, tell them what has been up!  New relationship?  New Job?  Nightmare wedding story?  Addicted to English muffins?  Can't train your boyfriend to pee in the toilet?  Talk to us.  Love you.

  • Ep. 66 - Kimberly Rae Miller on the Origin of Perfection + Her New Book 'Beautiful Bodies'

    Krista and Lindsey are so excited to welcome Kimberly Rae Miller to the podcast this week!  #Almost30nation listeners who attended the "Love Your Body" event got to read Kimberly's new book Beautiful Bodies before anyone else!  The response has been, well, beautiful.  Kimberly brings a balanced dose of humor, curiosity, depth, and vulnerability to the body positive space.  

    As a child model, she became aware of her body at a very young age.  Kimberly shares what it was like dieting alongside her mom to prepare for a beauty pageant, how her obsession with being perfect stemmed from her father's hoarding, and how the exhaustion with ALL of this eventually inspired her to examine the connection between her upbringing and her relationship with her body.  We unwrap:


    • How being honest about your broken parts opens up a healing conversation  
    • Her first book "Coming Clean", a memoir about her upbringing in a hoarder's household
    • Why she owes her entire career to her poor relationship with her body
    • How a miscarriage showed her how to be compassionate with her body
    • How her exhaustion with the obsession of losing weight inspired her to look beyond her body and seek MORE
    • Highlights from and insight on her new book, Beautiful Bodies, which is a thoughtful  blend of memoir and social history.

    FAM, we have all had negative self talk at one time or another.  A thought that buries itself so deep in our subconscious that it creates this alternate reality where we are not good enough.  Well we hope this episode assures you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  What you are feeling or have felt, someone else has felt that too.  Kimberly is so honest and candid, we can't wait for you to connect with her.  Take a deep breath of gratitude for that body of yours.  IT IS AH-MAZING.  Happy listening, babies!

  • Ep. 65 - Super Model + Bad B Kari Calhoun on How to be Your Authentic Self and Change Industry Standards

    Oh, this episode is just a couple of models just having a discussion about models doing model things. JUST KIDDING. But, what a discussion that would be ... On the real tho, Krista and Linds sat down this week with a #reallifemodel KARI CALHOUN, one of the most popular names in America's Next Top Model history (Season 21, what uppppp!). And we get to all the details, from start to finish on her model journey. 

     


    We talk about her story, moving from Dallas to Iowa to Los Angeles, and why she fell in love with the city full of so many opportunities. (She literally hopped off the plane at LAX) Although at first she never took her modeling career seriously, she got signed to a boutique agency and started going to auditions, which were as intense as people say they are. There was a long period where Kari's lack of confidence was showing through the camera & kept her asking "Why am I not getting it?" or "What am I doing wrong?" So how did she get her groove back? Soul searching, not giving a f*ck, letting go, taking everything step-by-step, & realizing the auditions that best fit HER.


     


    Kari also lays down the law when it comes to #INSTAMODELS & why they shouldn't be honored or idolized. "What goes viral about you should be your character and how you live your life, " she explains. MIC FRICKEN DROP. And in addition, she touches on how gratitude can get lost during the hustle. SUCH A GOOD POINT!


     


    But we all know you want to hear about Kari's ANTM career started, which by the way, was when Kari was holding a plank at the gym while a casting director approached her! From the drama to the producers egging things on, Kari TELLS ALL & she learned more than she could have imagined from it. But you'll have to hear for yourself now on #iTunes!
