Summary

In this episode, K+L unpack the body image conditioning many women carry from their twenties into adulthood. From dieting, comparison, and dating insecurities to confidence, pregnancy, and healing, this conversation reframes what it really means to feel at home in your body. They explore how women are taught to use their bodies as currency—and what happens when you stop. Krista shares how her body transformation changed her dating life, while Lindsey opens up about pregnancy, identity shifts, and learning to release control. K+L dive into intuitive eating, body acceptance, nervous system regulation, and learning your unique blueprint for wellness. If you’ve struggled with food, body image, hormones, or self-worth, you are certainly not alone, and there is hope for a more loving relationship with your vessel. We also talk about: -Body image struggles in your 20s vs. your 30s -Using your body as “currency” in dating + relationships -Healing your relationship with food + ending restriction cycles -Pregnancy, body changes, and identity shifts -Why body neutrality may be more powerful than body love -Understanding hormones, birth control, and mood shifts -Emotional eating, control, and fitness culture -Learning your unique blueprint for sleep, movement, and nutrition -Confidence, femininity, and attracting healthier relationships -Building a relationship with your body before dating Resources: -Instagram: @lindseysimcik -Instagram: @itskrista -Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to almost 30.
0:14.8	Hi everybody, welcome to the show.
0:16.5	Hello, Lindsay and Krista.
0:18.4	Not 30, but you can be whoever you are.
0:21.9	Just want to make that clear.
0:22.3	Yeah.
0:23.7	Why don't you guess?
0:36.8	You can reply on YouTube. Just kidding. When I told you that, there was like we were out one time with my friends and these guys were talking to us. And we were like, they were like, how old are you guys? And we're like, guess. They're like, we know you're middle age because you've asked us to guess.
0:38.8	Middle age.
0:40.1	Middle age is crazy.
0:38.1	I rebuke that. I was like, I'm 20.
0:47.1	It's such a weird. I'm at whatever age you want to say I am. I feel like I'll feel young for a very long time.
0:53.2	Yeah, I know. I agree. I think there's this other guy that I dated, and he's like, oh, I thought you were like 28, and then I started talking to you. And it reminded me about the voice and how you talk. It's like, people are so concerned about what they look like, but that's not really how people perceive to know who you are. Like you could look how you look and I have a judgment about that, but as soon as you open your mouth and talk, that's actually how I'm going to make a judgment about you or an assumption about you. 100%. So it doesn't even really matter what you actually look like with how old you are. Like, I've met people that I feel like speak, and I'm like, you're 12. Watching love is blind recently.
1:28.9	I know you've been on it too, but like I'm always so surprised, like what I consider the good looking ones and then they open their mouth.
1:39.2	And I'm like, gosh, darn it.
1:41.7	It's crazy.
1:42.9	Either they're like a dead person and they're not dynamic or interesting or they're not on their voice.
1:52.2	Totally.
1:52.7	So maybe they have a little bit higher pitch or.
1:56.5	Oh my gosh, I know.
1:57.4	They're just like talk about the weirdest stuff and have kind of like that fratty persona. Yes. It's very bizarre. Yeah. Yeah. On this latest season we were saying, I'm like, Vic just has this. Kills. He kills it. Angel. That is a quality man, but he's a man of God. Man of God. And just a man. Yeah, he's a man. I agree with that statement. Who else is a quality man, but he's man of God. Man of God.
2:18.2	And just a man.
