In this solo, Lindsey opens up about navigating friendships in different seasons of life, from motherhood to career changes, marriage, and everything in between. She shares why relationship shifts don’t automatically mean something is wrong—and how letting go of expectations can create more space for connection. She gets into the difference between a friendship that needs more intentionality + one that may be naturally falling away. From having honest conversations about capacity to setting boundaries, Lindsey shares practical ways to stay connected without overextending yourself or making every change mean something. She also shares simple ways to nurture the people you love through big life transitions, including voice notes, meaningful plans, meals, and small acts of care. This is a reminder that lasting friendships can ebb and flow, enter “winter seasons,” and still come back with fresh energy when you give them room to evolve. We also talk about:  Friendship after becoming a mom When distance is actually healthy The pressure to be a “good friend” Supporting friends through grief + major change Why one friend often changes seasons first How to stop filling silence with assumptions Nourishing someone when they’re overwhelmed Balancing compassion with accountability Being a better friend to yourself Planning something to look forward to Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors:  The Real Real | Get $25 off your first purchase when you go to therealreal.com/ALMOST30.

Anthony O’Neal, author of Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck, joins us for a conversation about money, mindset, and building a life beyond survival mode. He opens up about the moment he realized looking wealthy wasn’t the same as actually being wealthy—and how that realization changed everything.

Anthony shares his approach to debt, saving, investing, generosity, and preparing for a future where the way we work and make money may look very different. We also go deep on relationships, family, and the money stories we inherit. Anthony shares why couples need a shared financial vision, why kids need to be part of honest money conversations, and how changing your relationship with money can become part of your personal growth + legacy.

Serena Kerrigan, author of Let’s Fucking Date, joins us for a candid conversation about relationships, self-worth, and the mindset shifts that can completely change the way you date. She gets real about going from chasing validation to knowing you are the chooser. From the “three P” theory—potential, practice, or plot—to the two-drink rule, Serena shares how to make dating feel lighter, more fun, and less like a search for “the one.” We unpack red flags, the ick, pacing, standards, and why your time is a valuable resource. We also talk about the difference between true self-worth + self-sabotage, why healthy relationships can mirror the parts of yourself you still need to grow, and how to stop projecting old heartbreak onto someone new.  We also talk about:  Why being single can be such a powerful season of self-worth + personal growth The “Mirror, Mirror” practice + talking to yourself like your own best friend Why we’re often attracted to people who reinforce what we believe we deserve The three P’s of dating: potential, practice, or plot How to tell the difference between the ick + an actual red flag The two-drink rule, pacing, and protecting your time How high standards can sometimes become limitations The difference between a foundation list + a flex list when dating What healthy love feels like: safety, ease, confidence, and being fully seen Why your friendships can become the blueprint for the relationship you want Resources: Book: https://letsfuckingdate.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/serenakerrigan Sponsors:  Quince | Upgrade your everyday.

In this episode, Krista + Lindsey explore the idea of the invisible strings connecting our lives. They reflect on the relationships, places, and seemingly random moments that led them exactly where they are—and how much more meaningful life feels when you trust the connections you can’t always see. They share their wildest invisible-string stories, from dating + marriage to SoulCycle, Almost 30, friendships, and even moments of loss. They explore why some people enter our lives for a lifetime while others arrive to teach us a lesson, shift our path, or help us become someone new. Plus, they talk about creating more spaciousness in friendships, letting relationships ebb + flow without forcing them, and trusting the path when the dots don’t connect yet. This episode is a reminder that you may not understand where life is taking you—but you can trust that the pieces will make sense when you look back. We also talk about:  The invisible string theory + the idea that nothing is truly random How Krista + Lindsey’s own strings led them to each other Soulmates, karmic relationships, and soul connections Why some people are brought into our lives for lessons The strange connections between dating, friendship, and career How rejection can redirect you toward a more creative chapter Letting friendships have more space without assuming the connection is gone Trusting your intuition when the path ahead doesn’t make sense Why you can’t always connect the dots until you look backward Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itskrista/ Website: https://itskrista.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors:  Larineco | Get 50% off at https://buylarine.com/ALMOST30.

Lindsey is back with part two of her postpartum catch-up, getting honest about personal growth, relationships, and identity after becoming a mom of two. She shares what this season has taught her about asking for help, letting go of comparison, and giving herself permission to do motherhood her own way. She opens up about marriage, couples therapy, communication, and the reality of doing the relationship work while raising two kids. She also talks about how her priorities have shifted, what she’s temporarily letting go of, and why she’s learning to trust the timing of her creativity + career. Most of all, Lindsey reflects on the identity shift that comes with a major life transition—and why uncertainty doesn’t have to mean confusion. This is a reminder to give yourself grace, stay present, and trust that the next version of you is allowed to look different. We also talk about:  Building a childcare + support system that actually works for you Why you shouldn’t compare your motherhood to anyone else’s Marriage, couples therapy, and staying connected through big life changes Why communication gets harder when you’re overwhelmed The identity shift that comes with becoming a mom of two Letting go of perfection, productivity, and pressure Putting creativity + career on the back burner without abandoning them Trusting the ebb + flow of priorities, relationships, and self-care Entering a new decade with more uncertainty, curiosity, and trust Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Shop on eufy.com:https://eufyofficial.com/eufy_Baby_BFM_Campaign_Almost30_0_197307 Shop on Amazon:https://shop.eufy.com/eufy_Baby_BFM_Campaign_233172 Discount code: AM30EUFY for an extra 15% off.

Seven weeks postpartum, Lindsey is back with a deeply honest look at going from one child to two—and the emotional well-being, self-awareness, and personal growth that have come with becoming a mom all over again. She shares what no one prepared her for about this transition. From physical recovery and breastfeeding to overwhelm, guilt, identity shifts, and learning to ask for help, Lindsey gets real about what this season has demanded of her. She also opens up about stepping away from Instagram to protect her intuition and make space for her own inner knowing. Then there’s motherhood the second time around: watching Mav become a big brother, becoming a daughter-mom, and realizing how much her choices now shape the woman her daughter will grow into. It’s messy, beautiful, challenging, and a powerful lesson in letting go of perfection. We also talk about:  What Lindsey’s birth experience was like + the subtle signs she noticed beforehand How postpartum recovery compared to her first experience The support, nourishment, rest, and childcare that have helped her recover Why going from one child to two has felt unexpectedly emotional The guilt + self-judgment that can come with splitting your attention between children Rebuilding mindfulness, movement, and a sense of self in early motherhood Why Lindsey deleted Instagram + how it helped her trust her intuition as a mom Mav’s adjustment to becoming a big brother + making intentional one-on-one time with him What becoming a mother to a daughter is bringing up around self-worth, boundaries, body image, and how she moves through the world The identity shifts that can happen when your family, body, and priorities change all at once Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors:  Evvy | Go to ⁠https://checkout.evvy.com/discount/ALMOST30⁠ to receive 10% off your first purchase, up to $25.

In this episode, Regena Thomashauer, bestselling author + founder of The School of Womanly Arts, joins us for a bold conversation about pleasure, the nervous system, self-worth, and feminine power. She shares why reconnecting with your body can change the way you move through your entire life. Regena opens up about her own trauma, the moment she realized success couldn’t heal what was happening underneath, and how pleasure became an unexpected path back to herself. She also shares what it means to trust your desire, even when life hasn’t unfolded on the timeline you imagined. This episode is a reminder that you are not here just to achieve, caretake, and hold everything together. We explore what becomes possible when you let yourself feel more, receive more, and reconnect with the part of you that knows you’re meant to be fully alive. We also talk about: Why women are taught to disconnect from their bodies + pleasure How shame around the female body can disconnect us from confidence + intuition Why Regena believes pleasure can help regulate the nervous system The difference between sexuality + erotic aliveness What happened when Regena realized her identity had become completely wrapped up in helping other people Her “on our knees” moment + the decision to finally turn inward How grief, fear, and desire can coexist during periods of deep uncertainty Using movement to help emotions move through the body The stories of Lilith, Psyche, Demeter, and Persephone + what they can teach us about feminine power Why women don’t have to shrink themselves to be loved or accepted Resources: Website: https://mamagenas.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mamagena Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mamagena Sponsors:  Naturium | Give your skin the affordable, luxurious glow up it deserves.

In this solo episode, Lindsey reflects on what years of personal growth have really taught her as she approaches 40—and the lessons from Almost 30 that changed how she sees herself, success, relationships, and her own path. She gets honest about intuition, healing, ambition, and the pressure to constantly become “better,” sharing the mindset shifts that have helped her trust herself more and stop chasing an idea of who she is supposed to be. From learning to listen to her body to realizing there is no finish line, Lindsey explores what happens when you let your life evolve—and start choosing fulfillment, purpose, and inner peace over constantly trying to arrive. We also talk about:  Why your intuition often whispers before your life has to scream The difference between healing yourself + remembering who you already are Breaking free from the self-improvement trap How the quality of your relationships shapes the quality of your life Learning to listen to your body before burnout takes over How Lindsey’s definition of ambition has changed Why discernment matters when you consume endless advice Getting comfortable with uncertainty instead of needing all the answers Why most things that feel like emergencies eventually become perspective Letting your dream life evolve into something simpler + more meaningful Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors:  BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

What if something you can’t see is affecting how you feel every single day? Philipp von Holtzendorff-Fehling, founder of Leela Quantum Tech, joins us to explore energy, consciousness, and the nervous system—and why he believes modern life may be pulling us further from our natural state. From EMFs + 5G to the energy we absorb from the people + environments around us, Philipp challenges us to question what we’ve normalized. We dive into coherence, intuition, the biofield, and the possibility that there’s a better way to support your body, your energy, and your nervous system. Philipp also shares the experiences that completely changed the trajectory of his life—from corporate executive to energy + consciousness pioneer. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, struggled to hear your intuition, or sensed there was something more going on beneath the surface, this episode will make you look at your everyday world differently. We also talk about: Why Philipp believes EMFs may be impacting our bodies + nervous system What happens when we’re constantly surrounded by electromagnetic signals The connection between coherence, intuition, and feeling like yourself again How to recognize when an energy, environment, or relationship feels expansive or contracting Philipp’s powerful experience at a Buddhist monastery in Thailand The moment he realized he had completely disconnected from his own intuition What the biofield is + why Philipp believes it matters How Leela Quantum Tech came to be + the technology behind it Why Philipp believes we can access more of our consciousness than we realize The idea that your purpose reveals itself when you start moving toward it Resources: Upgrade your energy, harmonize your EMF exposure, and elevate your wellness with Leela Quantum Tech’s science-backed quantum technology and get 10% off at leelaq.com when you use code ALMOST30 at checkout. https://www.instagram.com/philipp_vhf/ https://www.instagram.com/leelaquantum/ https://www.instagram.com/quantumupgrade.io/  Sponsors:  Square | Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at https://square.com/go/almost30! #squarepod Smileset | Go to https://smileset.com/almost30 to get 35% off.  BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

In this powerful conversation, Lindsey sits down with Dr. Ann Shippy to explore how intentional living can transform not only your fertility, but your long-term health, emotional well-being, and future family.

Motherhood changes far more than your daily routine—it transforms your identity. In this solo Q&A, Lindsey answers your questions about parenting, relationships, personal growth, and the unexpected lessons she's learning while preparing to welcome baby number two. She opens up about why she chooses not to share her children's faces online and the complicated emotions that can arise when one partner becomes the primary breadwinner. Lindsey also reflects on approaching her 40s, embracing change, and learning to loosen her grip on perfection. Whether you're a parent, preparing for motherhood, or simply navigating a season of transition, this conversation offers honest reflections on identity, relationships, boundaries, and trusting yourself through life's biggest changes. We also talk about: Why Lindsey keeps her children's faces off social media Parenting, privacy, and protecting your family's digital footprint What dreams about an ex may actually be telling you Reframing the value of caregiving + motherhood Thoughts on aging, turning 40, and having children later in life Why control becomes harder—and surrender becomes more important Learning to trust yourself through every new season of life The identity shifts that come with growing your family Resources: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/⁠ Substack: ⁠https://momplex.substack.com⁠ Sponsors: Naturium | Give your skin the affordable, luxurious glow up it deserves.

What if your self-worth is shaping what you’re able to manifest? In this episode, Krista sits down with To Be Magnetic’s Chief Content Officer Jessica Gill to unpack the patterns behind money, abundance, relationships, and the subconscious blocks that may be keeping you from what you truly want. From attracting more money to calling in your soulmate, Jessica reveals why your nervous system needs to feel safe enough to hold your next level. They break down manifestation “tests,” wealth consciousness, and what happens when you stop settling for less than you truly desire. They also uncover the sneaky ways we self-sabotage—from childhood conditioning and perfectionism to fear of visibility. This conversation will help you reclaim your power, expand your capacity to receive, and rethink everything you know about manifestation. We also talk about: Manifestation tests + how to recognize them Breaking subconscious patterns around money + love Building wealth consciousness + an abundance mindset Nervous system regulation + expanding your capacity to receive Self-worth, boundaries, and trusting what you truly desire Manifesting aligned relationships + finding your soulmate Childhood conditioning + generational patterns Self-sabotage, perfectionism, and analysis paralysis Using jealousy + envy as tools for expansion Visibility, authenticity, and overcoming the fear of being seen Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessicaashleygill/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JessicaAshleyGill Substack: https://substack.com/@jessicaashleygill Expanded Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2B1ZemTinqpXMfH8vy6zzk?si=50f43dc8830c4e52 Watch our full-length vids of Expanded on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@tobemagnetic/podcasts Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tobemagnetic/?hl=en Website: www.tobemagnetic.com  Use code JESSICA for 15% TBM Pathway membership Sponsors: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
