Welcome to the Almost 30 Podcast. I'm Lindsay and I'm Krista and we're your hosts, guides and friends on this path.

Almost 30 is not about your age, it's about the feeling. All of us are almost something seeking community and resources to support the rumblings of transformation within us.

Our conversations are deep dives, shepherded by our insatiable curiosity and desire for connection and during inspiration and a sense of levity that we can all benefit from.

We're looking to find the magic in the human experience. Vucalup baby, your evolution is waiting.

Hi everybody, welcome to the show. It's Lindsay, Simpson. This is a solo episode, a solo dolo with one of your girls.

We do solos every single month on topics that are just kind of cookin' in our hearts.

Oftentimes they're inspired by all of you out there listening. We talk to you in our DMs and in person and we get really inspired to bring certain conversations to the show that we feel would be best had in this format.

So where we can go really deep, really honest. And today I wanted to talk about dating, done differently baby. I was single for seven years. This might be old news to a lot of you out there who's like, yeah, yeah, I know.

But it was a long time and during that time I really had an opportunity to shift the way that I was approaching dating.

And with summer coming up, I really feel like the summer vibe gives us this little permission slip to really rejuvenate some areas in our lives that might be a little lifeless, a little autopilot-e and a bit unintentional.

So I want to make this the summer that those of you who are dating, you're going to do dating differently. It is going to feel different. It is going to be a more fun and fulfilling experience.

It is going to be an experience where you can really remain in your truth and in your body. And you can really receive the gifts in the moment that dating offers.

I know so many of my friends who are now dating a lot of the conversations that we have are candidly around how tough dating is and how exhausting it is, you know, another date and not my person.

And I totally get it. I have been there and I do believe that we are missing out on some really beautiful opportunities when it comes to meeting another person who is also willing to meet another person.

Other opportunities to meet ourselves to know ourselves better and to get closer to meeting the person that hopefully we're going to develop a deep long term if that's what you desire relationship with.

I want to talk about dating done differently in this episode. It was inspired by all of you who I talked to in the DMs and in the sacredness of being single program.

I just added a new module to the sacredness of being single program. So if you're already in there, you have access to this new module. If you are thinking about joining the sacredness of being single, this is a self-study program that I created in the wake of my single season because it was the most powerful potency into my life to step up.

I'm going to go into my life to set the tone for every other season moving forward. And I really believe so wholeheartedly that if we take this season seriously, if we understand the opportunities that it gives us that we can have an incredible experience during the season and beyond.

So I added this new module because I was getting so many questions about dating. And I wanted to provide a place in the program where you could feel really supported by me, your kind of like dating little guide BFF in your ear.

So I created this like beautiful audio series where we talk about things like intention. We talk about revisiting the list that you've created. I know we all have our list somewhere. It's in that notebook in that drawer.

How to know when your heart is open and ready.

We talk about the energetics of the apps. I share daily practices to call on a partner. I give you a predate grounding, which I think is so.
