614. How to Both Accept Yourself and Change Yourself
Does self acceptance mean no self-improvement? When do we lean into self-development practices and when do we just accept ourselves as we are? In this solo episode, Krista shares tangible steps on how to balance self-love + self-improvement because—spoiler—the two ways of being can co-exist.
When you love yourself, there’s a vibrancy to your energy that supports you to live a productive life, i.e., you might give back to your community, spend your free time in nature or leave an impact on your family and friends.
The idea that we need to control or manage who we are, so that we don’t overeat, spend an excess amount of time on our phones or stay in our homes for days on end is interesting to think about and a topic Krista doesn’t hold back on.
We also talk about:
- The spiritual ego
- Mindful eating + being present
- What it means to be in control
- Befriending the manager part of us
- How to be self-accepting
- Scheduling in time for complacency
- Celebrating through the process
- Understanding perfectionist tendencies
- Being mindful of self-loathing or hate

616. Body and Relationship Realness with Tinx (Part 2)
Welcome back to part two of Krista’s conversation with Tinx, a lifestyle creator, advice expert, podcast host and author of The Shift: Change your Perspective, Not Yourself. In this episode, Krista and Tinx talk about what it means to date in today’s day and age.
The true meaning of a relationship isn’t to get married, but to go on a self-discovery journey. As Tinx puts it, “To get your heart broken is to live.”
Plus, the two share a vulnerable conversation on their struggles with body image, why they feel like the topic is taboo, and a new approach the collective should consider when thinking about food + self-image.
We also talk about:
- Purgatory vs. the breakup
- Heartbreak antibodies
- Generational differences on dating
- What is the box theory
- Scarcity mindset in relationships
- Trolls on the internet
- Tinx’s body image journey
- The media, diet culture + fads
