Summary

In this unfiltered solo episode, Krista + Lindsey open up about the real side of spiritual growth. They share how their most profound awakenings have brought not only expansion, clarity, and inner strength… but also unexpected loneliness, identity shifts, and relationship shake-ups. If you’ve ever wondered why your healing journey feels isolating, chaotic, or “off track,” this conversation will remind you that you’re not behind. Through mindset reframes + practical tools, the girls break down what it actually looks like to grow in your 20s, 30s, and beyond. Expect grounded wisdom + humor as K+L explore how to protect your peace, trust your inner voice, and navigate the messy middle of becoming who you’re meant to be. We also talk about: Building boundaries as an empath + what it looks like in real-time Why healing yourself is the most magnetic form of leadership + service Letting go of comparison, especially when you’re surrounded by spiritual “experts” How to hear your intuition again when you feel disconnected or overwhelmed Journal prompts for rebuilding trust with your inner voice Finding spiritual lessons in the mundane moments Friendship evolutions: the pauses, the distance, the heartbreak, and the rebirth Family dynamics that shift when you grow + and how to navigate the discomfort What to do when life feels chaotic + you can’t “stay high vibe” Simple experiments for strengthening your intuition in low-stakes, everyday scenarios Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.
