• 889. What every ambitious woman needs to hear about motherhood + purpose 21.07.2026 45m

  Motherhood didn't just change me—it transformed the way I see myself, my purpose, and the life I want to create. In this solo episode, Lindsey explores self-awareness through the lens of motherhood, identity shifts, and emotional healing, sharing what happens when we release old versions of ourselves and learn to embrace who we’re becoming. If you've ever wondered whether it's okay to miss your old life while deeply loving your current one, this conversation is for you. Lindsey opens up about ambiguous grief, matrescence, and the emotional complexity of stepping into a new chapter while honoring the person you were before. As she prepares to welcome her second child, Lindsey reflects on slowing down, redefining success, and letting go of the pressure to constantly achieve. She shares what motherhood has taught her about fulfillment, trusting the timing of your life, and finding deeper purpose—even when the path looks completely different than you imagined. We also talk about: Why becoming a mother completely reorganized Lindsey’s identity The surprising grief of missing your old life while loving your new one The concept of matrescence + the psychological transformation of motherhood Why fulfillment feels different from achievement + external validation Letting go of productivity, perfectionism, and the need to optimize everything Choosing family over hustle culture + redefining success How motherhood stripped away performative tendencies The pressure of watching everyone else achieve while you're in a slower season Trusting the timing of your life + embracing the creative unknown Why every season of motherhood asks you to become someone new Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors: Ritual | Don't settle for less than evidence-based support.

• 888. Stop chasing money and become someone who can hold it 16.07.2026 1h 21m

  What if everything you've been taught about money is wrong? In this conversation with high-level wealth strategist Elizabeth Ralph, we're exploring why wealth might be less about working harder and more about the energy, beliefs, and patterns shaping your relationship with abundance. We explore the fears, beliefs, and patterns that keep us stuck in scarcity, why money isn't linear, and what it means to create wealth from a place of trust instead of control. If you've ever avoided looking at your bank account, wondered why money feels so emotionally charged, or felt like you're constantly trying to "figure it all out," this episode is for you. Get ready to rethink abundance + open yourself to a completely new way of relating to wealth. We also talk about: Why conscious women need to participate in wealth The connection between self-worth + net worth The hidden beliefs keeping you stuck in scarcity The energetics of abundance + effortless wealth Why personal development can become another form of ego The difference between control + trust in manifestation How social media impacts our relationship with money The real meaning of legacy + legacy wealth How to create abundance by becoming, not by doing Resources: Get one free month of SI Club at: https://myrootabl.com/r/ezmSidp0?rootabl=almost30podcast Website: https://www.thespiritualinvestor.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethralph/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Elizabeth_Ralph Sponsors: The Absorption Company | Start taking supplements your body can actually absorb.

• 887. We were so cringe in our old episodes (Here to give you permission to be cringe, too!) 14.07.2026 1h 6m

  OMG, we're taking a trip back to the very beginning of Almost 30 to listen to our early episodes, and honestly...we can't believe we're here today. Listening back had us laughing, cringing, and getting emotional over the dreams we had, the women we were, and the people we thought we'd become. Some things changed completely, and some of the things we wanted most somehow found us in ways we never could've planned. This is a deeply personal episode, and if you've ever looked back at an old version of yourself and thought, "Wow, she had no idea what was coming," let this be your reminder that every version of you is worthy. Get ready to laugh ‘til your abs hurt ladies—we're heading down memory lane! We also talk about: Our first impressions of each other + the women we were 10 years ago The dreams we had for our future selves + the manifestations that came true How our voices, identities, and priorities have evolved over the years Why giving yourself permission to cringe is actually a sign of growth The dating stories + deal-breaker questions that had us crying laughing The friendship that became the foundation of Almost 30 Trusting your intuition + following what feels like a full-body yes Why every season of reinvention is preparing you for what's next Looking back at old versions of yourself with compassion instead of judgment The beauty of realizing your life unfolded even better than you planned Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik  Instagram: @itskrista  Sponsors: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

• 882. The beauty and shadow of self-awareness 25.06.2026 58m

  Hi my loves, Lindsey here. I've spent years in therapy, pursuing healing + self-discovery, but no one prepared me for this part—the loneliness that can sometimes come with becoming deeply self-aware.  In this solo episode, I'm exploring the beauty + burden of self-awareness—and why personal growth can sometimes feel surprisingly lonely.

• 871. If You’re Constantly Wondering ‘Could This Be My Person?’…Listen to this 19.05.2026 49m

  In this solo episode, Lindsey dives into the dating pattern so many of us secretly fall into but rarely admit: future tripping. From imagining a future with someone after one date to wondering if they could be “the one,” Lindsey reframes future tripping as something deeper than overthinking. Lindsey explores the psychology behind future tripping, the difference between intuition + anxiety in relationships, and how your nervous system often recognizes compatibility before your mind does. Lindsey also shares the powerful dating lessons she learned through years of being single. This episode is for anyone who’s ever ignored their instincts, stayed too long because of someone’s “potential,” or questioned what they truly want. Lindsey shares a new framework for dating rooted in self-trust, and understanding what your imagined future may be trying to tell you.  We also talk about: Why future tripping is actually rooted in neuroscience + attachment theory Signs you’re confusing potential with reality Why “I can change them” is often a dangerous mindset The subtle difference between compromising + abandoning yourself Green flags that signal real emotional growth in a partner How to identify compatibility beyond chemistry and attraction What your imagined future reveals about your deepest desires + values Lindsey’s personal dating stories before meeting her husband Sean Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Chime | It just takes a few minutes to sign up.
