890. Emotional healing after betrayal + heartbreak
What if the thing that broke your heart was actually the thing that set you free? In this episode on emotional healing, Krista sits down with Lindsey Schwartz, founder of Powerhouse Women®, to explore betrayal, heartbreak, and what it takes to rebuild your life when everything you thought was certain falls apart. Lindsey shares her journey of learning to trust herself again, healing from deep wounds, and navigating the identity shift that comes after loss. Together, they explore self-awareness, self-worth, and how painful experiences can become the catalyst for deeper purpose, authenticity, and transformation. From the financial + emotional fallout of betrayal to dating again after a 13-year marriage, Lindsey opens up about the messy, nonlinear process of healing. If you're navigating heartbreak, a major life transition, or learning to find yourself again, this conversation is for you. We also talk about: The financial + legal fallout that kept Lindsey “unhealed” How betrayal trauma made Lindsey question who she could trust The surprising role of Lindsey's childhood + religious upbringing Dating for the first time after a 13-year marriage Why rejection became an opportunity to fall more deeply in love with herself The pressure to share a perfectly healed version of yourself online Being seen in the messy seasons instead of waiting until you have it figured out Resources: Instagram: @Lindseymarieoffical Instagram: @Powerhouse_women Website: www.powerhousewomenevent.com Sponsors: Super | Start building your credit the easy way.

889. What every ambitious woman needs to hear about motherhood
Motherhood didn't just change me—it completely redefined who I am and what truly fulfills me. If you've ever wondered whether it's okay to miss your old life while deeply loving your current one, this conversation is for you. I'm opening up about ambiguous grief, letting old versions of myself go, and learning to trust a season that looks nothing like the one before it. As I prepare to welcome my second child (yay!), I'm embracing the unknown again. We're talking about slowing down, redefining success, trusting the timing of your life, and honoring the version of you that's emerging—even if she doesn't look like who you used to be. We also talk about: Why becoming a mother completely reorganized my identity The surprising grief of missing your old life while loving your new one The concept of matrescence + the psychological transformation of motherhood Why fulfillment feels different from achievement + external validation Letting go of productivity, perfectionism, and the need to optimize everything Choosing family over hustle culture—and redefining success How motherhood stripped away my performative tendencies The pressure of watching everyone else achieve while you're in a slower season Trusting the timing of your life + embracing the creative unknown Why every season of motherhood asks you to become someone new Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors: Ritual | Don't settle for less than evidence-based support.

888. Stop chasing money and become someone who can hold it
What if everything you've been taught about money is wrong? In this conversation with high-level wealth strategist Elizabeth Ralph, we're exploring why wealth might be less about working harder and more about the energy, beliefs, and patterns shaping your relationship with abundance. We explore the fears, beliefs, and patterns that keep us stuck in scarcity, why money isn't linear, and what it means to create wealth from a place of trust instead of control. If you've ever avoided looking at your bank account, wondered why money feels so emotionally charged, or felt like you're constantly trying to "figure it all out," this episode is for you. Get ready to rethink abundance + open yourself to a completely new way of relating to wealth. We also talk about: Why conscious women need to participate in wealth The connection between self-worth + net worth The hidden beliefs keeping you stuck in scarcity The energetics of abundance + effortless wealth Why personal development can become another form of ego The difference between control + trust in manifestation How social media impacts our relationship with money The real meaning of legacy + legacy wealth How to create abundance by becoming, not by doing Resources: Website: https://www.thespiritualinvestor.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethralph/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Elizabeth_Ralph Sponsors: The Absorption Company | Start taking supplements your body can actually absorb.

887. We were so cringe in our old episodes (Here to give you permission to be cringe, too!)
OMG, we're taking a trip back to the very beginning of Almost 30 to listen to our early episodes, and honestly...we can't believe we're here today. Listening back had us laughing, cringing, and getting emotional over the dreams we had, the women we were, and the people we thought we'd become. Some things changed completely, and some of the things we wanted most somehow found us in ways we never could've planned. This is a deeply personal episode, and if you've ever looked back at an old version of yourself and thought, "Wow, she had no idea what was coming," let this be your reminder that every version of you is worthy. Get ready to laugh ‘til your abs hurt ladies—we're heading down memory lane! We also talk about: Our first impressions of each other + the women we were 10 years ago The dreams we had for our future selves + the manifestations that came true How our voices, identities, and priorities have evolved over the years Why giving yourself permission to cringe is actually a sign of growth The dating stories + deal-breaker questions that had us crying laughing The friendship that became the foundation of Almost 30 Trusting your intuition + following what feels like a full-body yes Why every season of reinvention is preparing you for what's next Looking back at old versions of yourself with compassion instead of judgment The beauty of realizing your life unfolded even better than you planned Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Instagram: @itskrista Sponsors: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Okay, girls... I've been wanting to have this conversation with you. I've been reflecting on this a lot lately, and I have a feeling some of you have been craving this too. I truly believe one of the greatest gifts in my life has been the women who have loved me, challenged me, and reminded me who I am. In this episode, I'm sharing why female friendships have become the most healing relationships I've ever experienced + what it takes to build them. We'll talk about healing the sister wound, letting go of comparison + competition, communicating with more intention, and creating friendships that allow you to grow. If you've been wondering why your friendships don't feel as fulfilling as you want them to, this conversation is for you. We also talk about: Why being loved by other women can be so healing The text message that inspired this entire conversation Learning to trust women again Finding your "relational field" + attracting aligned friendships Why comparison + competition sabotage connection How Lindsey became my first example of a truly healthy friendship The importance of communicating instead of storing resentment Why every friendship has a different purpose + season How nervous system regulation creates more secure relationships Why you have to go first if you want deeper, more meaningful friendships Resources: Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Sponsors: Super | Start building your credit the easy way.
