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.

You are now tuned into Almost 30 Podcast. Welcome. Welcome to the show. Welcome back to another week at Almost 30.

This is year seven of this journey with the two of us just kind of sharing our curiosities, our learnings, what we're going through and hopefully helping you along the way.

I'm Lindsay and this is Krista. We're actual best friends. True life. True life best friends. I'm kind of pissed that we didn't start the show in the air of like Ricky Lake, Mori, kind of that vibe of just being able to bring in kind of that few energy at times.

I know I wish I was less conscious so I could like talk more shit and just like gossip and like talk about pop culture and not that I'm like better than but it's like example I was watching I've been obsessed with great British Bake off.

And so I've been watching it and every time I'm watching I'm like, oh my god, you're self sabotaging because you don't believe that you don't even you're just watching people like there was this really good baker that was crushing it but he was every time he'd be like and now I'm going to fail and now I'm going to fail.

And then kind of self-fulfilling prophecy eventually like self sabotage so much because he couldn't have enough self worth to believe that he would actually win so he self sabotaged to keep himself safe is just crazy.

You're like when you watch things is like a more conscious person or even if you've been in therapy, you can see patterns that people are in and you're just like, whoa.

And sometimes even with the gossip stuff like my brain, it's so annoying, I can't just take a lane and go with it and be like, oh man, she's so fucked up and like she totally broke his heart, I'd be like, well, I actually kind of understand because like he, you know, like if he grew up in a broken household and like, I'm sure he just doesn't know how to treat a woman, you know, it's like 100%

I'm like, well, was she emotionally available for him? Was she, you know what I mean? I'm just 100% I'm always like defending the person that people are not are people are like talking about like, well, what about this is a good point.

But it's like, yeah, I agree. There is that part of me and I remember we did we were guests on a podcast years ago so long ago and they did listener questions and they would give advice and I was like the worst at it because I was like, I don't really know their path.

You know, I'm not in their shoes. I'd have to walk a mile in their shoes before I said this and I couldn't even give good advice because I couldn't like, allow myself to think that I would know best for them or that I know better than them. And so it was just like kind of stupid because she was someone that was like, no, you should definitely, you know, lick it.

Right. He's definitely cheating. He's definitely cheating says. And I was like, well, we don't know that. I was like, I was like, Byron Cating it. I was like, what is true. Yeah, what is that? What are we actually, yeah, what is absolutely true, which is funny because I was going through just like a little mental conversation of just frustration with impatience in my life with my success. And I was talking to a friend of ours and like, she was like doing Byron Cating me and I was like, sis, I don't need this.

I don't want to know what's true right now. I want to be with. Let me bitch. Let me bitch. Just let me say whatever. Let me let the part of me that wants to speak and be heard speak and be heard. I don't need to be coached right now. Please.

I know. I think a great way to start that convo is like, hey, I just want to bitch. Are you available? Yes. Yes. I don't need to hear. I don't you don't need to fix it. I just need to bitch.

You're good. I mean, you always meet me at the bitch because and you'll meet me wherever, but it's like I just also to with my friends, I trust them that they won't figure it out.

And so I'm not needed to coach or I can, but that's not where I'm best served. Like I'm best served meeting you where you are and trusting you that you're going to figure it out and learn on your own.

So it's amazing to be friends with people that are like healers, teachers and psychics and all that. It's mostly the best 95% of the time and then sometimes it's like, hey, man, don't send me a link to your course.

I literally, I'm never going to watch it. Okay.
