843. You’re Probably an Old Soul: Here’s Why Your Life Looks Different
Almost 30
Suffering Becomes Alchemy and Service
Krista explains how personal suffering can become alchemy that serves others and the collective.
In this solo episode, Krista dives into the experience of being an “old soul” + what it means to live a life wired for intense transformation, emotional depth, and relentless personal growth. She shares stories about healing, metamorphosis, and how to embrace your soul’s wild spiritual adventure.
Ahead, get an unfiltered look at the challenges—and gifts—of living as a sensitive, intuitive soul in a fast-paced world. Krista unpacks how shedding layers, navigating loss, and evolving through friction can connect you to your highest self, deepen relationships, and unlock purpose.
Tune in to learn how to regulate your nervous system, practice radical acceptance, and tap into soul-centered leadership. From embracing uncertainty to redefining what success + stability mean, you’ll leave with permission to honor the richness of your journey—no matter how unconventional.
