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

Jessamyn is a yoga teacher, body positivity advocate, and the author of Every Body Yoga: Let Go of Fear, Get On the Mat, Love Your Body.

 

Linds, Krista, and Jessamyn sit down for an incredible conversation about how she first got into yoga (which she hated at the time), social media, community, self-esteem + self-worth, and why she believes that yoga can save the world.

 

• Cultivating a COMMUNITY
• Why Jessamyn didn’t enjoy yoga the first time she did it + why she kept going
• Going from negativity to positivity
• The problematic standards in our society when it comes to race, gender, and body type.

• The effects yoga has on the body from the inside out.
• How to deal with haters and why they are some of her best inspiration to stand her ground

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!  Grab a notebook, happy listening!! xx
