Yet, no matter how many times we’re told to “let go” and flow with life’s unpredictable groove, many of us reach a hard edge from time to time.Then, what happens? The claws of control, obsession, and paranoia breakthrough any veil of reason, and you find yourself in a state of dis-ease.In this episode, Lindsey opens up about her evolving journey with perfectionism, the work she’s done to release its grip, and how you can free yourself from self-limiting beliefs holding you back. We also talk about: How perfectionism manifests in behavior Getting to the root of perfectionism  Tools for release  A closing meditation  Sponsors: On Purpose Podcast with Jay Shetty | Listen to new episodes on Mondays and Fridays anywhere you get your podcasts Anima Mundi Herbals | Visit animamundiherbals.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off Daily Harvest | Use code ALMOST30 for up to $40 off your first box at www.daily-harvest.com LMNT: Claim a free LMNT Sample Pack (you just need to cover the cost of shipping) by visiting DrinkLMNT.com/Almost30 Zocdoc | Search for local doctors who take your insurance.

We're trapped in a web of narratives. Right now, the United States is crippled by an obesity epidemic that's getting bigger, made worse by the endless wave of related "facts" coming at us from every screen.If there is a pill for every ill, why are we so sick?Shawn Stevenson has been on a 20-year mission to learn and research where we went wrong and how we can get out of this mess. Forget about "burning fat" and instead learn the facts that will free us from this prison of chronic illness. Shawn's exit strategy is to share information from an objective place, without an agenda, and truly respect the human body as a complex lab.Your value is not based on a number. Fat is not your enemy, it's more of an overprotective parent. Let's step back, look within, and see what we find.We also talk about: The current state of health A nuanced approach to obesity and weight loss Fat: what it is and why we need it Gut health and immunity  The biology of fear  How do we move forward?

As she sheds old skin, releasing relationships, “guru” projections, and past versions of self, The Class has grown into a movement that not only serves others but is a mirror to measure her own internal landscape. We also talk about: Reframing shadow work  Working through enmeshment and unprocessed trauma  How Taryn protects her energy  The science behind The Class Superficial spirituality and guru projections Being of service Healing after a relationship  Sponsors:Get discount codes sent directly to your phone.

Anger, disappointment, betrayal. These are the textbook reactions to your partner when they show no interest in your self-awakening. It feels like everyone else on Instagram are #spiritualcouplegoals, casually going to ayahuasca retreats in Costa Rica. Meanwhile, you can’t get your other half to go to a yoga class. So, what do you do when you’re filling your cup with all the self-help books, crystals – ALL the things – but your partner is not interested in following the same path?If you feel yourself falling down a rabbit hole of spiritual manipulation, tune into this solo episode with Krista, where she unpacks the do’s and don'ts of addressing spiritual imbalance in partnership and how to silence the spiritual ego from rearing its not-so-enlightened head.We also talk about: The spiritual ego and how it manifests  Celebrating similarities in partnership Finding a sacred community  How to appreciate your partner where they’re at Feeling independent on your spiritual journey  Spiritual red flags  Sponsors: Four Sigmatic | Get up to 40% off + free shipping on mushroom bundles at foursigmatic.com/almost30 ClearSTEM | use code ALMOST30 for 15% off at clearstemskincare.com Pressed Bouquet Shop | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off your purchase at pressedbouquetshop.com NutriBullet | Use code “ALMOST30NATION” for 20% off at nutribullet.com Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer. Find more to love at almost30.com!Almost 30 is edited by Crate Media.

During Alyson Charles' brutal yet beautiful spiritual awakening, animals were a daily medicine that coaxed repressed traumas to the surface. Through the initiation, she rebirthed as "RockStar Shaman" with a mission to collaborate directly with the wisdoms of Mother Earth and Great Spirit/Source, and bridge the gap between animals and humans. Her spiritual allegiance to the animal world comes full circle with her new book, Animal Power, which decodes the spiritual significance of 100 species along with transformative practices to deepen your relationship with the power animal wanting to support you at this time. In this episode, Alyson reveals the emotionally-charged backstory to birthing her living, breathing medicine book, the responsibility of owning her role as a shaman, and how lessons from surrender and celibacy led her to find sacred union with Luke Storey. We also talk about: Exploring the death portal  The potency of illustrations in Animal Power  The meaning behind The Eagle Condor Prophecy  How to connect to your power animal The responsibility that comes with spiritual gifts Advice on surviving a spiritual awakening  The inner work to finding an aligned relationship Sponsors: Beekeeper’s Naturals | Go to beekeepersnaturals.com/almost30 or use code “ALMOST30” for 25% off your first order.

Minnesota mama and marketing pro, Jenna Kutcher, has ticked off all the things on “the list.” She built a seven-figure digital business from scratch (thanks to a $300 camera purchase on Craigslist), married her life partner, and is a mother after years of trying. Now, Jenna’s sights are set beyond Instagram strategy. She’s changing the blueprint of what motherhood should look like, and is focusing on the present. The gifts she’s received have been tenfold. She learned how to delegate as a CEO, became the sole breadwinner of her (growing) family, and made actionable steps towards inclusivity in her business. The goal is not set in stone. Jenna is constantly shedding, cleaning out her closet, trying things on for size, and reclaiming the titles she’s picked up along the way. After all, isn’t that the point of living?We also talk about: The path to motherhood and experience miscarrying Jenna’s hormone reset, getting pregnant and coming home to her body Taking maternity leave as an entrepreneur and parenting arrangements  Accepting your own timeline and allowing yourself to evolve  How to be an entrepreneur, business owner, and maintain your creative vision  Lessons learned from the pandemic and how it shifted her focus  Leveraging social media for good Sponsors: NutriBullet | Use code “ALMOST30NATION” for 20% off at nutribullet.com SAKARA | Go to sakara.com/almostsakara and use code ALMOSTSAKARA for 20% off your first order House of Wise | Use code “ALMOST30” for $20 off your order at houseofwise.co HUM Nutrition | Receive 20% off first orders of $29+ with code ALMOST30 at humnutrition.com BetterHelp | Visit betterhelp.com/almost30 for 10% off your first month.
