0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Almost 30 podcast. My name is Chris Williams, and I am almost 30 on the other side.
0:20.2	The podcast was started by my best friend and I when we were almost 30 on our closet floors.
0:25.0	We had full-time jobs.
0:26.5	We were completely lost and had no idea what to do with our lives and decided to take those
0:31.8	conversations on a podcast in 2016 when we launched the show.
0:36.5	And eventually, this turned into a brand and business
0:39.3	that I absolutely love and adore. And I'm so thankful to be doing this for over 10 years with y'all.
0:45.3	It's been a dream. We've been on tour. We had retreats. We had merch. We did membership,
0:50.3	courses, programs. We've done it all. We released a book in June of this year, and it was one of my
0:55.9	favorite things that I've ever done, one of the hardest things I've ever done, and one of the
0:59.5	things I'm most absolutely proud of in my career, when everyone talked about doing a book,
1:04.8	they were like, it's so hard. And I said, you guys don't work hard, but I do. And then I did a book and I said, I need help. This is so hard. You guys were right. So it was a very hard experience. But the almost 30 book is a definitive guide to a life that you love, you know, for this next decade and beyond. And you can get it wherever books are sold. We've had so many great reviews. It's just been such a dream. So if you feel
1:27.7	lost in life, the book is a great spot. So in this journey of almost 30, I've talked a lot about
1:33.6	my body journey. So this is something that I never really thought I would talk about or be able to
1:40.2	talk about or express. I started sharing openly about my body journey at the beginning of the
1:44.5	podcast. So around 10 years ago, when I was going through some health issues, my hormones were
1:50.6	completely out of whack. I had been pushing myself to the limit, living in New York City,
1:55.6	before I was in Los Angeles, to be the thinnest version of me that I ever was. I was going to two sole cycle classes a day,
2:03.0	walking 10,000 plus steps,
2:05.0	eating only quest bars,
2:06.9	just such a disordered relationship with food in my body.
2:10.3	And when I moved to Los Angeles,
