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.

Hello, hello, hello, welcome back or welcome to almost 30 podcast.

Hey everyone, it's Lindsay Simpson and Krista Williams. We're best friends, a business partners and we started this pod seven years ago.

We just celebrated seven freaking years of full cycle, baby. I was thinking about that.

Full-car mix cycle, full-car mix cycle. We have all new taste buds, we have all new cells.

We are completely new and I can feel the new cycle. I actually think it's, it's true. Like we look different.

Oh my god, dude. I, this is actually what I'm going to bring to therapy on Saturday. I was like I'm going to bring to therapy the shame I feel looking at older pictures of myself.

It's not like I'm like, I don't, yeah, I'm not like wallowing. I don't have a voodoo doll of my previous self.

But I was just like, dang, I don't really, I don't know all the phases of the eyelashes and like all the things and just like.

Yeah, man, I just and not really feeling good in my body or how I looked and I was just like, oh man, I just.

You don't want to be looking back at your previous self and not loving them, but there is a journey with that.

Oh yeah, I think when you look back at old photos, it's like you're looking at more than just.

Yeah, you're right. Look like you're actually feeling how you felt. You're feeling whether it's the shame or you feel bad for her where you're like, oh.

You felt like you needed to do this in order to be like.

Loved or whatever or whatever it was.

Yeah, I definitely, I definitely feel that I just can't believe sometimes that because I remember like feeling so hot at times that I look back and I'm like, I looked like a fucking fembot in the weirdest way.

That's my whole thing. I think that's it's not even like, yes, I can feel into how I was feeling, but I think more mine is like, I thought I looked good.

And that embarrassment where you're like, yo, I thought I was serving in this moment or I thought I was this and it's like, yo, yo, but maybe who knows maybe you weren't.

But then this is my whole thing is like, I think I'm serving more now, but then a week, if you even a photo two weeks ago, I'm like, oh, I'm hotter today.
