0:00.0	If you've ever felt like the world is designed to keep you distracted, disconnected, or honestly
0:04.5	kind of asleep, this is for you. On Gaia.com, you get access to over 8,000 ad-free series,
0:11.4	documentaries, and classes, plus a global community of people who are actually interested in
0:17.1	expanding consciousness and questioning reality. I'm obsessed with Gaia. One of my favorites is
0:23.7	the Gaia original series Mystery Teachings with Sarah Ecclady. She cuts through the spiritual
0:28.8	fluff and gets straight into the real mechanics of consciousness. How thought, frequency,
0:34.3	and awareness actually shape our lived experience. This isn't love and light shortcuts. It's
0:39.0	deep. It's grounded. It's just really incredible work that you'll probably want to watch more
0:44.4	than once because it doesn't just inform. It activates something deeper. If you're ready to question
0:50.1	consensus reality and reclaim your inner authority, watch Sarah Echledy exclusively on Gaia,
0:55.6	a completely ad-free member-supported streaming platform dedicated to expanding consciousness. Hello and welcome to Almost 30 podcast.
1:19.3	It's me.
1:19.9	It's your girl Krista.
1:20.9	And I'm really excited because we're just going to have a little kiki today.

1:38.2	We also have conversations just between Lindsay and I, where it's just two girlfriends
1:41.4	catching up. And then we also like to do solo episodes. And that's what we're going to do today. And in these solo episodes, it's either a teaching, something that I'm learning and going through, something that I'm feeling excited to teach. And then sometimes I just like to get a pulse check of what's going on. I like to just share very vulnerably and openly about what's going on in my life
2:01.5	and what I'm thinking about right now. Since we're all sort of in the same collective consciousness
2:05.3	here, if we're all on, I'm just always curious if you guys are thinking about the same thing.
2:08.8	So personal development, spirituality, and wellness is the show. And today is going to be all of
2:13.1	those things. So this conversation that we're going to have was inspired by a trip I was taking on
