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. Buckle up baby, your evolution is waiting.

Howdy, welcome to Almost 30 Podcast. Hi y'all, it's Lindsay and Krista. Glad you're here. Welcome to the party. Welcome to the party baby.

My new thing when people leave, I say tata. Oh, that's my new phrase in word greetings. So I say greetings when I see people when I say tata when they leave.

I like tata. Me too. Isn't it good? It's like tata. It is just plain and simple. Tata. See you later. It's like because buy so weird. It's like buy. It feels so final when you just say tata. You're like tata for now.

Totally. This is why I'm single. I feel like I feel like you go through. Yes, you go through different greetings and different sign offs just in life. But I'm trying to think of your last sign off. Just not on the pod, but in person.

Later, I don't know. Sometimes we have weird ones where we're like, see you later. Yes. We do see you later and you do. It's all good. I stole that one.

When it's like something is embarrassing. Yeah, when it's like something is embarrassing or silly. You're like, you know, lost my credit card. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. But I do go through phases of phrases. And I even did that in high school. I was thinking about my high school days when I was with my friends from home recently.

And I was like, oh, I even had signatures in high school. 100.

Oh, that cuts deep. That cuts deep. That blood into your 20s, baby.

That blood into my 20s. We all did it. It's funny. I was listening to someone who was it. It was a comedian on a podcast. And he was saying that he remembers when the internet came, came on and came around. And he was setting up an email. And he made the email his name.

And he remembers his friends being like, why are you making the email your name? That's so lame. Like kind of like calling him out for that. And I even remember, I mean, my first email was sparkle 9614.

Like, you know, no one did your actual names. And that's even with our blogs or any social media accounts. You kind of made some like quickie thing. And now it's like the vibe to just sort of have your name be of a brand.

But what was your first email?

My first email, because your AIN name would be your email, right?

Yeah, I think it was Linsertarts at Linsertarts.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Very simple.

Playing instead to the point. It was my favorite cookie, but it's also my name, like Lins.

Oh, what was the cookie?

So, oh, the cookie is, it was at my baby shower. It was those like, it kind of looked like little flowers with like a raspberry jam in them.
