What if the clarity you’ve been searching for isn’t in your mindset—but in your heart? In this conversation with Kimberly Snyder, we explore heart coherence, emotional regulation, intuition, and why so many high-achieving women are stuck in the “propelled heart” phase of constant doing. Kimberly shares the five stages of the heart + how stress, ambition, trauma, and ego keep us disconnected from our true power. We talk about nervous system rewiring, hormonal balance, and how dropping from the mind into the heart can change your relationships, health, and magnetism. From manifesting her husband in six weeks to building a wellness empire while raising two kids, Kimberly reveals how living from the heart creates ease, intuition, and alignment. If you’re tired of forcing, hustling, or overthinking your next move—this episode will feel like a reset. We also talk about: The five heart stages: dark heart, propelled heart, steady heart, devoted heart, and clear heart Heart coherence and its impact on cortisol, DHEA, hormones, and longevity Why “manifestation culture” often keeps women in the mind instead of the heart Healing grief + how tragedy can open your heart Ego vs. authenticity in relationships The difference between emotional reactivity + true heart connection Nervous system regulation through heart-focused breathing Intuition vs. overthinking How partnership accelerates spiritual growth Magnetism, energy fields, and how your heart affects others Redefining success beyond hustle + achievement Why ordinary moments can feel extraordinary when you’re embodied Resources: Website: mysolluna.com  Book: The Hidden Power of the Five Hearts: Empower Your Thoughts, Balance Your Emotions, and Unlock Vibrant Health and Abundance Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Ka’Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your next order.

AI isn’t just helping you write emails—it’s shaping beauty standards, influencing elections, replacing jobs, generating music, and possibly rewriting reality itself. In this unfiltered conversation, Lindsey + Krista explore the cultural, spiritual, and economic implications of artificial intelligence. From AI influencers to blackmailing bots, autonomous coding, artificial womb technology, and the manifesto to replace human labor, this episode dives into the race toward AGI and what it means for humanity. Together, K+L explore whether AI is inevitable—or simply a narrative we’ve accepted. This episode is all about discernment. It’s about staying human, protecting your creativity, strengthening your intuition, and deciding how you want to engage with technology in a world that feels increasingly synthetic. If you’ve felt fascinated, disturbed, or unsure about AI—this is for you.  We also talk about: AI-generated porn + its impact on relationships The potential for emotional + relational attachment to AI technology How AI could shape the future of content creation, writing, and artistic voice Balancing AI for efficiency while protecting original thought + creativity How younger generations may grow up with AI as a constant companion or support system The economic tension between productivity gains + potential job displacement Why discernment + emotional intelligence may become more valuable skills in the AI era Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Ka’Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your next order.

No one tells you what becoming a parent actually feels like. Not the baby registry, not the birth plan—but the identity shift, the relationship changes, the loneliness, grief, and joy that cracks you open. In this solo, Lindsey shares what she genuinely wishes someone had told her before becoming a mom. From nervous system overload + sleep deprivation to partnership strain + matrescence (the emotional + psychological transformation of motherhood), Lindsey pulls back the curtain on early parenthood. This isn’t about fear—it’s about truth. The discomfort, the rewiring, the ego death, and the profound expansion that comes with raising a child. If you’re a new mom, thinking about becoming a parent, or deep in your own identity shift in your 30s, this episode will make you feel seen. It’s honest, grounding, and deeply reassuring: you’re not doing it wrong—it’s just that big of a transformation. We also talk about: Why motherhood expands your capacity for discomfort The nervous system rewiring that happens after having a baby Intrusive thoughts + heightened sensitivity in early motherhood Relationship changes after a baby (+ the Gottman research on partnership dips) Why you don’t “go back” to your old self—and why that’s freeing Matrescence + identity loss in your 30s Grieving your old life while loving your child How motherhood ruthlessly edits your priorities Perfectionism in parenting + attachment research truths Emotional availability vs. “doing it right” Loneliness in early motherhood + building your village Reparenting yourself while raising your child Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Our Place | Visit https://www.fromourplace.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 for 10% off sitewide.  Fatty15 | Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to https://www.fatty15.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 at checkout.  Ka’Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your next order.

What if the root of your anxiety or self-doubt is a spiritual wound you didn’t even know you had? In this episode, Taylor Paige joins Krista to break down the “spirit wound”—why so many of us feel disconnected from our own intuitive power + how reclaiming it changes everything.  Taylor Paige, a sought-after evidential medium, shares her personal journey—from crippling fear of the dark to leading packed workshops that empower women to contact their guides directly.
