0:13.7

wrecked us. And if we would have known that this was a period of possibility, we would have been

0:19.1

so much better off. We were both

feeling super lost, honestly, like questioning everything from our careers to relationships.

0:27.5

And we realized that no one really talks about how intense this time can be. And we wanted to

0:32.2

create the book we wish we had back then, something that really moves people to their most aligned life possible

0:40.5

without all the chaos. So anyone who wants to use these times of change and transformation

0:46.3

as a portal to your highest potential needs to get this book. This is a guide to leveraging

the messy times in your life and turning them into magic.

Hello and welcome to almost 30.

1:32.9

Hi, everybody.

1:33.7

Welcome to the show.

1:39.2

It's Lindsay and Krista, your girls, your friends, and we're happy to be here in person in L.A.

1:40.4

So good.

1:43.4

It's June gloom at this moment that we're reporting.

1:44.9

It's actually beautiful out right now. Yeah, it is actually nice. But usually for the two months, it gets kind of like gloomy and overcast, which is like the biggest thing, biggest deal in L.A. We're like, oh, no. I know. Is it better over here now that you're not so west? Yeah, it is a little bit better. They're still west, but. But it is a is a little cold. I know, it is colder than I thought.

2:01.3

Yeah. It's like funny. Like it will won't get in LA, the summers or later. It's almost like August, September, October are really, really warm. And that's like SF too. Yeah, that's so true. It's like a West Coast thing. Because when we're in New York, it was pretty hot. Yeah, it's hot. Austin was so hot. I loved it. Me too. That's what I said. Because it's just like you step outside. You just feel like you got a warm blanket on you in a good way. I don't get annoyed by like hot or humid or anything like that. I know I was talking to this guy at the gym and he was like, what did you do? And I was like, oh, I was in Austin. It was hot. He's like, oh, I don't like hot. I was like, I love hot. And then I thought about changing my opinion.

2:35.2

I literally was in Austin. It was hot. He's like, oh, I don't like hot. I was like, I love hot. And then I thought about changing my opinion. I literally was in my head. I was like, I shouldn't have said that. Obviously, I did. And I'm keeping it. I do like hot, okay? Well, that's why we're a perfect match. I like hot. you dolls. I was like, girls are always cold. But what's interesting about Austin is like, well, that's why we were a perfect match. I like hot, you don't. I was like, girls are always cold. But what's interesting about Austin is like, summer's people are inside. Because it gets like 110. So like summer's kind of like their winter for us on the East Coast. That's true. Because they really don't go outside. That's true. That's true. I mean, yeah. Because it's kind of oppressive. Being in Florida, we were in Florida a lot of my life when I was younger. And like it is like so it almost like hits you like a wall. Totally. Where you walk out and you're like you can't even breathe because it's just so intense. So humid.
