Thais Sky is a truth speaker, healer, women's coach, and feminist on a heart-led mission to have important conversations at the intersection of feminism + spirituality, and today she’s re-joining Lindsey + Krista to once again tackle some really big questions: How can we begin to dismantle our unconscious biases? How can we all be better allies to one another? And how can we provide a safe space for more conversations like these? We are constantly striving to evolve ourselves and this show by bringing more diverse voices into the conversation –as always, we are learning right along with you all. So thank you for being to open and vulnerable This episode includes… Opportunities for growth Being addicted to our shitty thoughts + shitty people Trying not to compartmentalize our own spirituality Feeling unworthy of your own self-care We can't show up for others if we’re not showing up for ourselves. Everything is about power dynamics The governmental + societal systems that keep certain groups of people oppressed How white women contribute to + benefit from racism How we can REALLY educate ourselves about systematic oppression + privilege If you don’t look at a wound, if you don’t take care of it, it’s going to get worse As privileged white girls, what is our place in the conversation? With privilege comes responsibility Living in an emotionally illiterate culture “You can’t love other people until you love yourself” sounds really nice – but that’s not necessarily the case! How to avoid tokenizing people of color When people say they’re “color blind” People need to do this work imperfectly (because perfect just isn’t going to happen) Deciding what kind of legacy we want to leave Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

You may not know it (at least not yet), but your family story might be the one thing holding you back from success. We can’t change our parents or our family – and we can’t change what’s already happened – but we can change our perception around it. Unresolved traumatic events in your family can hinder how happiness and success flow to us in the present and future. Marine Sélénée is a Family Constellations specialist who is dedicated to bringing peace, love, and respect to families. Krista + Lindsey can attest that Family Constellations will help you break free from any negative painful patterns – and it will be life changing. After hitting rock bottom at the age of 25, Marine started her own healing journey and discovered the power of Family Constellations firsthand. Now she shares that gift with others, helping people finally bring order back to their lives, make peace with what was, and accept what they did receive and did not receive. We talk about… Moving from France to the U.S. Hitting rock bottom at the age of 25 + going through a spiritual awakening Starving to be be seen, to be heard, and to be recognized Everyone has a different perception Why you can’t heal unconscious, underlying problems in your family – you need to unearth them The little boy or girl inside of you who is just waiting to be seen or heard Storing trauma in your body + healing it When a mom or dad might need their kid to take care of them How to discover what affected you subconsciously Why parents need to respect their children enough to tell them the truth, even when it’s hard How you can be impacted by past generations, beyond your mother and father Practicing acceptance + respect Do we choose our parents?
