we were two girls going through it…
In true LA fashion, we met at SoulCycle (Lindsey was an instructor and Krista was auditioning but ultimately didn’t get the gig — twice!) That “rejection” brought us together and led to one of the most profound discoveries of our lives. We were both in our Saturn Return and facing the tough transition from our 20s to our 30s. We started having deep, meaningful conversations around spirituality, holistic health, personal development, relationships, and finding purpose.
Hard to believe we took these photos on purpose.
Behind the selfies + odd outfits
We realized we were...
not alone.
We decided to record those conversations on our closet floors so we could help others navigate any transition in their lives. After 7 months of practicing, lots of unused recording, and many mistakes along the way, the Almost 30 Podcast was born!
Our first logo! You know what they say — first impressions are everything. 😬
It’s been a windy & beautiful road…
We started the podcast with no experience (or money!) while juggling our full-time jobs. We had no idea what to expect, but we both had a deep inner knowing that this was something special. We were determined to create an entity that served others and made an impact — and we did! Little by little — in divine timing — we cultivated a community of kind, curious, like-hearted humans who dubbed themselves #Almost30Nation. We connected IRL on a 13-city tour and at our retreats, and online through workshops, events, and our Almost 30 Membership platform.
Of course we made merch wayyyy before we needed merch.
It all led us to where we are today…
More than eight years in, Almost 30 is a top podcast with more than 100M downloads, a global brand, and transformative community. We’ve had some of the biggest names in the business as guests, created signature programs to support your conscious evolution, launched a second podcast, Morning Microdose, and are now getting ready to release our first book!
Just as Almost 30 has grown through the years, so have we. We evolved in our spirituality, relationships, friendships, creative passions, and most importantly, in our connection to ourselves and the divine. Every day, we’re learning and changing right alongside you…come join us for the ride!
PS…Get ready for more A30 IRL magic!
We can’t wait to invite you to our book tour, kicking off June 2025! We’ll dive deeper into the journey of building Almost 30 and finally publishing our guide book on the bumpy, yet beautiful road between your 20s and 30s. Stay tuned for tickets and more!

Hi, I’m Krista. I grew up in a small town in Ohio. I’ve always been the one who's asking the tough questions, thinking outside the box, and laughing the loudest in the room.
From a young age, I had big dreams of pursuing my purpose. I made a lot of leaps, always searching to find my why. I've always been a spiritual being with a lot of ambition, but never quite sure how to harness it. After college and climbing the corporate ladder, I started to hear the call of my Soul. So, I left my Chicago life behind and quit my job to travel to Patagonia for a month off-grid. My travel and curiosity continued to grow, leading me to New York City. Ultimately, I moved to Los Angeles where I met Lindsey, started Almost 30, and finally created a life that I love where I can be myself, and use my gifts to help others in the world.

And I’m Lindsey! Growing up in in a small Pennsylvania suburb, I was the type of kid who treated imaginary friends to self-produced three-act musicals in my living room. I just always loved the feeling I got from being creative without restriction.
I suppose I’ve taken that love and have done my best to honor it every step of my life thus far. I graduated from my fireplace performances and moved on to the big stage as an actress and singer in Boston and NYC. As I was trying to make my acting dreams come true, I was juggling many odd jobs–like bartending, fitness instructing, fit modeling to name a few. Eventually I grew pretty tired of waiting for someone to pick me and “make my career”. So when I met Krista years later and we started Almost 30, I knew it was time to define how I got to be creative every day once again.
As we were building Almost 30, I was also very single, for 6 years to be exact. This was was pretty spiritual LOL. Unknowingly, this time was the beginning of my journey back to myself. IYKYK. And now that I’ve come back to her, I can be the mom, business partner, friend, wife, sister, and daughter that I’m really proud of.
