Body image is something women are acutely aware of from a young age, and a topic we don’t shy away from on Almost 30. Everyone - no matter what they look like - has a complicated relationship with their body, and it’s important not to judge or assume things based on how someone looks. In today’s conversation, K+L got together with close friends and influencers Shayla Quinn + Britney Vest for a roundtable reality session to shine a light on the internal dialogue we all have around weight and body image. Although our stories are different, we all still experience hardships and shame around our bodies. It takes years of reprogramming and conscious effort to change the narratives we’ve grown up with about our bodies, but it is possible to get to a place of love and acceptance. . Shayla and Britney talk about when they first started noticing their bodies, how well-meaning people can warp our self-perspective, and how we can learn to move on from the need for validation. We’re so grateful that they’re willing to vulnerably share their experience with all of us, remind us that we’re not alone, and that truly loving and accepting ourselves is the most powerful and healing thing we can do.
We also talk about:
- Where our body image issues come from
- How diet culture benefits from our insecurities
- Changing your relationship with weight loss
- Healing the need for validation
- The lessons we pick up from our parents
- The power of showing up

Jordan Younger aka The Balanced Blonde is a longtime friend of the show, fellow podcast host of Soul On Fire, blogger, author, and wellness educator. Jordan joins K+L to talk about her healing journey that has led to her own intuitive way of eating called the "celestial lifestyle."

Jordan is committed to sharing her story for others who may not have access to those resources, making her a beloved educator in the wellness space. As such, she has been the subject of negative commentary in the media. They get into how to speak your truth in hard times and what Jordan is doing to take action against a defamatory article written about her recently.

416. Lonely on Your Spiritual Path?
The path to spiritual awakening can be so lonely. Chances are, the people in your life are going to be skeptical, especially if they haven't made space for their own growth. They'll sow doubt, and can make you feel alone, different, and isolated from the world you thought you knew.
Too much outside noise and influence started to make Krista feel like she was doing something wrong by going on this journey – but she had to trust her gut above all else. When you know in your heart and soul that you're doing the right thing, you HAVE to keep pushing forward – even when society tries to tell you that you're wrong or make you feel unsafe.
Throughout this type of transition, things will feel shaky, and uneasy. You may lose some friends (let's be honest, you probably will). But it's all part of making space for your own growth. On the other side, you're going to find a beautiful support system, and a powerful alignment to who you TRULY are that feels better than you could have imagined.
We also talk about:
- Coming to the realization of how lonely the spiritual journey can be
- Knowing that you are never alone
- Having a relationship with Source
- Embracing change + letting go of the illusion of permanence
- Being unattached to how others think
- Outsourcing our intuition
- Building up a new community
- Being comfortable in solitude
