  • 643. The HR-ification of Relationships + "Spiritual" People Dating

    Get ready to laugh (and cry a little bit) during this insanely relatable conversation between Krista and her actor-director-musician BFF, Joey Pollari! Krista and Joey chat about the ways we may be overusing “therapy talk” – a.k.a. things only you and your therapist talk about – in our relationships. Instead of slapping labels on someone or going overboard with “honest feedback,” sometimes it’s best to lead with how we’re actually feeling. 

    Krista and Joey recount stories of their own shortcomings in relationships as well as how they’ve grown in their self-awareness and communication skills. At the end of the day, therapy is one of our greatest tools for evolution, but learning how to integrate what we do in therapy with our real-time interactions is the ultimate relationship game changer!

    We also talk about:

    • Why birthdays are triggering 
    • Giving loving feedback in relationship
    • The HR-ification of relationships
    • Boundaries vs. walls
    • “Spiritual” people on dating apps 
    • Forgiveness + accepting people
    • The power of stating your emotions
    • Why labels aren’t effective tools for healing
    • Raising the bar in dating 
    • The myth of being “special” 
    • Going after your creative dreams

            If you’ve ever been through a stretch season, you know it can be a wild ride. Maybe you’re in the middle of one right now. You might be healing from heartbreak, navigating a big career move or simply having a good-ole dark night of the soul.

            3 months postpartum, Lindsey takes us through the biggest stretch season of her life thus far - entering motherhood! Guided by the alchemical wisdom of Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements, Lindsey shares how our words, perceptions and actions can make all the difference during times of intense growth. 

            Lindsey reminds us that no matter what you’re going through, its purpose is always to bring you closer to love, connection and more freedom. 

            We also talk about:

            • Why comfort isn’t conducive to growth 
            • Navigating parenthood + postpartum life
            • How your words create your reality
            • Research vs. trusting your intuition 
            • Dissolution of the ego during hard times
            • Slowing down + sitting in your season
            • How to trust the unknown 
            • Doing your best vs. knowing there’s room for growth

                                    • 639. If You’re Suffering You Need to Hear This

                                      In this vulnerable solo episode, Krista gets real about protecting your energy and staying conscious in the face of family drama – especially when that drama is pointed at you. You’ll learn tools to manage your emotional reactions, fully accept your loved ones, and release the obsession with what others think of you. 

                                      Of course, family isn’t the only place your shadow can surface unexpectedly. Krista goes over how to use uncomfortable moments to actually strengthen your relationships with friends, partners and even colleagues. Shel dives into the best ways to communicate with others, as well as how to nurture yourself during hard times.

                                      If there’s one thing we all struggle with – it’s letting go. Krista explains that when we stop trying to control our lives and everyone’s perceptions of us, we can be truly free. 

                                      We also talk about:

                                      • Navigating family drama with awareness 
                                      • Letting go of what people think of you
                                      • Accepting friends, family + partners where they’re at 
                                      • Identifying friends who show up for you in hard times
                                      • What it means to trigger someone else with your shadow
                                      • The power of clearing conversations
                                      • Creating deeper intimacy in all of your relationships
                                      • Mel Robbins’ “Let Them” theory
                                      • Releasing control of your life + allowing more flow

                                              Having done the Darkness Retreat with Krista, Aaron reflects on his time in the dark, plus his journey with therapy and understanding the parts of himself.

                                                    • 637. Lifting the Veil on Corruption + Economic Slavery

                                                      Aaron Abke and K+L met in Austin to discuss the corrupt systems that plague our society. Aaron offers a perspective that exposes the deceit and abuse of our world’s healthcare, school + financial systems. 

                                                      Committed to aiding the collective ascension to Enlightenment, Aaron’s passion + purpose is to awaken this planet to the awareness of oneness and our collective destiny. 

                                                      Aaron is a paradigm-shifting teacher, who delivers a fresh, new outlook on spirituality through his teachings on the Law of One, Unity Consciousness and Spiritual Intelligence. Ahead, you’ll hear how you can take back your authority and will in a society that often makes us feel powerless.

                                                                When we think about muscle, we tend to think about strength or aesthetics, but in reality, muscle accounts for so much more than that. In this episode, we are honored to welcome Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, to discuss the importance of muscle (and how too little can lead to big problems). 

                                                                Dr. Lyon is an expert in the practical application of protein types and levels for health, performance, aging and disease prevention. Ahead, you’ll hear a thought-provoking conversation on the best approach to regulate your glucose, reboot your metabolism, build strength and ultimately extend your life and vitality.

                                                                Can’t get enough of Dr. Lyon’s work? Her recently published book, Forever Strong, is out now!

                                                                        In this special episode, we’ve curated a collection of clips, featuring the topic of reparenting. Ahead, you’ll hear from #Almost30Nation’s favs, Bethany Webster, Dr. Nicole LePera and Dr. Shefali. 

                                                                        There is a ton of insightful info jam packed into this one. You’ll receive a refresh on (or learn about) the mother wound, subconscious reprogramming, and how you can inherit pain generationally. 

                                                                        Not to mention, you’ll gain a sense of what it means to be a conscious parent and the problems associated with over-identification. And of course, we can’t have a convo on family without talking about…drumroll, please…boundaries! If you want to introduce or enhance your boundaries, you’re in the right place to learn how to do just that.

                                                                        We also talk about:

                                                                                      Do kegels actually work? Is painful sex normal? How can breathing help alleviate pelvic tension and pain?

                                                                                      In this episode, we go there and answer all of your burning questions with Dr. Sonia Bahlani, who is an expert in the fields of gynecology and urology―sought purposefully because she was interested in helping patients with pelvic pain. 

                                                                                      In her efforts to bring the topics of pelvic pain and women’s sexual health out from behind closed doors and find real, proven solutions for those in pain, Dr. Bahlani joins Lindsey to discuss the key to feeling good “down there,” starting with what exactly is your pelvic floor. She provides valuable insight on what might be causing your pain, what you can expect in a doctor’s office and what to do at home.

                                                                                      So much of women’s sexual health remains unexplored, leaving us to wonder and question if specific experiences are normal…but no more. We’re deeply grateful to welcome Dr. Bahlani to the show to unpack the many misconceptions about this important topic.
