  • Ep. 63 - How Sakara Life Founders Made Their Mess Their Mission + Managing Your Microbiome

    Okay ladies + gents ... this episode is a BIG ONE. Not only do we have one but TWO guests, Danielle and Whitney of Sakara Life. They've known each other since they were twelve in Arizona, and moved to the Big Apple for their dreams of modeling and working on Wall Street. But as time passed, their struggles grew along with their go-go-go kind of lifestyle. Things basically got CRAY ... fast. Everything started to add up, from going-out, getting acne, drinking, eating out all of the time, working 80 hours/week, and not taking the time to take care of themselves. And this is how their new new lifestyle started.

    They both had a lot of healing and needed to remind each other food is medicine. So from there they started being their own guinea pigs, and cooking their own meals and creating their own recipes. Eventually, they knew they were on to something, and they started delivering meals on their bikes around NYC to their clients.


    In terms of the food science aspects of living the Sakara Life, here are some vital topics we touched on:


    • micro biome = bacteria living in your gut
    • 95% of serotonin is made in the gut
    • eating the right food helps that good bacteria thrive, and visa versa
    • adding greens is KEY to every meal - smoothies, sandwiches, soups, etc.
    • eat well and don't stress about it because studies show that stress/anxiety leads to aging faster
    • science points to plants as the key to anti-aging
    • eating a VARIETY of plants is important because it builds the different types of amino acids your body needs
    • studies also show that your personality is more present when eating healthy

    It's all about living a life of clarity, freedom, health, and nourishment. We hope you learn more than you can imagine from this episode!

  • Ep. 60 - Finding Your Identity + Peace Through Life's Darkest Times with Meditation Guru, Biet Simkin

    BIET SIMKIN is probably the most interesting person in the world ... seriously, your mind is about to be BLOWN. The sh*t that she's been through and the person who she has become because of that is BEYOND all of our dreams of determination and strength. So Krista + Lindsey are peeling back the layers of the goddess Biet Simkin ...

    For those of you who don't know who Miss Simkin is, she New York native, first-generation American and a leader in the world of meditation. Not only was her father a philosophical shaman and gave her the Book of the Dead at age nine, Biet was singer and fashion fiend who spent a big part of her life living the life of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. And not the glamorous, Hollywood kind.

    After struggling with a drug and alcohol addiction, mourning her father's death, as well as her child's passing, Biet talks about her Ah-Ha moment of sobering up and changing her life for good. She knew it was time to find the person she was meant to be, which is what this episode is all about.


    The journey to find your identity is hard for everyone, and Biet has developed a meditation technique not only to help you find it but to help you be the best person you can be. Her technique is like "watching a documentary on yourself" and observing your every move AKA "Divided Attention Mediation".


    Another amazing point Biet stress' is how we are more than just our body and our minds. Everything from hallucinations, serendipity, and voices - those all mean more than we know. And Biet talks about how listening to these transcendental messages LITERALLY saved her LIFE and how her practice develops this kind of acknowledgment. It's a spirituality POW WOW worth taking a listen to #Almost30Nation!

  • Ep. 59 - Healing Your Worthiness Wound + Claiming Your Confidence with Thais Sky

    This conversation with Thais Sky left Krista and Lindsey with their jaws on the floor.  TRUTH TALK AT ITS REALEST.  The girls welcome this "esteemed women's leadership expert, international speaker and mindfulness teacher whose empathetic approach to worthiness, confidence and emotions have taken her through the healing of her own childhood trauma into a healing career, as well as into the study of cognitive psychology, neurology, spirituality, sociology and spiritual psychology".  THAIS IS NEXT LEVEL WOKE.  Her emotional connection to helping women reclaim not only their feminine power, but their human worthiness is palpable when she speaks.  Thais is a force to be felt and a voice to be heard.  Washingtonian Magazine named her as one of the top “8 bloggers to know.” The Huffington Post calls her “an inspirational woman” and she was nominated for Forbes Magazine 30 under 30 award.  .....AND THIS IS JUST BEGINNING.  This conversation is the definition of FLOW, truly a dreamy inspirational conversation for the girls.  They discuss:

    • why being kind to yourself is the path to self-empowerment
    • how the woman's voice is going to shift the state of this world
    • why noticing the lens we where will wake you up and stir your power to change the world
    • why forcing ourselves to be positive is counterproductive
    • practical ways to up-level your life and align with your purpose
    • how giving yourself permission to feel the low will move you to a place of high vibration
    • how to knock down self-constructed barriers, like guilt, and shift into a state of inner peace and confidence
    • how Thais' healing journey is the foundation for her success as a coach
