Finally, a listener has written in asking the girls for their advice on letting go of friends as an adult. The girls talk redirection, priority shifts, dwindling common interests, and more.

Ep. 11 - Holistic Health Coach, Daniela Kende of Color Me Complete
"Daniela Kende is a board certified Holisitic Health Coach who supports busy professionals who want to lose weight, reveal more radiant skin, and find abundant energy to create the life they've always imagined." Are you raising your hand and screaming "ME, ME, ME, ME, ME!!"? The girls nearly fell off of their swivel chairs because they were nodding so hard during this interview. Daniela believes in peeling back the layers, digging deeper to reveal the real intention behind superficial 'wants'. Want to lose 20 lbs? Why? What would that mean for you? She talks about actually allowing ourselves to think about what we would IDEALLY feel like each day. We need permission for that? YUP. The girls share their dreams and goals and how aligning with your intention will increase the drive towards that goal. How does creating a rule, like "I'm not a morning person", sell yourself short? Daniela and the girls discuss the limitations and how releasing the rule could change your life. What are your limiting beliefs...could they be the one thing holding you back from reaching your full potential? Grab a pen and paper because Daniela also drops extremely useful tips on skin care, diet, balancing hormones, protein powders, and sugar. DANIELA KENDE is about to change the way to LIVE.

Ep. 10 - Let's Get Personal
In this episode of Almost 30, Lindsey and Krista interview each other. You'd think they know everything about one another, but the coolest part of friendship is finding out new sh*t about the other person every time you are together. You know!? The girls dig deep and get curious. Lindsey explains how attending an all-girls, private, Catholic school shaped who she is today, Krista gives us her vision of where she will be in ten years, and SO much more. It's still the beginning here at Almost 30, so the girls thought it was important you get to know them a little better.

Whether you're a guy or a girl, you've felt it. THE PRESSURE. Some girls equate happiness with marriage and kids.

Ep. 5 - Destuffing Bras + Stuffing Faces
In Episode 5 of Almost 30, Lindsey and Krista begin by celebrating no longer stuffing their bra's and recounting a meet-up with a high school crush 12 years later. They highly suggest the latter. In one of their favorite segments, "20's Us, 30's Us", the girls lay it all out there--from chronic car accidents to over-giving, to their slowing metabolism to wanting to know more about their finances. Knowledge is power, right?! Their question of the week comes from "Courtney", As Courtney approaches 30, she finds herself getting in deep when it comes to relationships--moving in together, purchasing pets, and cooking for one another. Sounds successfully adult. But what happens when it doesn't work out? Could be an UGLY mess.
