Almost 30

Lindsey Burwell, integrated health practitioner + founder of The Patch Method, joins us for a powerful conversation about healing, self-awareness, and learning to trust your body again. She shares how a decade of trials transformed her relationship with her body, her faith, and her purpose.

We get into the pressure to optimize everything, why more isn’t always more, and how Lindsey learned to loosen her grip on perfection. From supplements + wellness routines to intuitive movement + nervous system regulation, she shares what shifted when she stopped treating herself like a project to fix.

Lindsey also opens up about fear of being seen, spiritual warfare, following intuitive nudges, and finding meaning in the hardest seasons of life. Together, we explore what happens when you release the outcome, trust the process, and let your personal transformation become part of your purpose.

We also talk about:

IVF, motherhood, and feeling like your body has failed you

The emotional weight of medical diagnoses + uncertainty

Why perfectionism can become its own form of stress

Learning to exercise intuitively instead of following every trend

“Done is better than perfect” in business + visibility

How social media can drain your creativity

The difference between consuming content + strategically studying it

Building a business by following your mission + staying unattached

How pain can dissolve the ego + reveal your purpose

Trusting that the hard season may make sense later

Anthony O’Neal, author of Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck, joins us for a conversation about money, mindset, and building a life beyond survival mode. He opens up about the moment he realized looking wealthy wasn’t the same as actually being wealthy—and how that realization changed everything.

We get into what it really means to build wealth, from creating a vision for your money to developing the habits that will actually get you there. Anthony shares his approach to debt, saving, investing, generosity, and preparing for a future where the way we work and make money may look very different.

We also go deep on relationships, family, and the money stories we inherit. Anthony shares why couples need a shared financial vision, why kids need to be part of honest money conversations, and how changing your relationship with money can become part of your personal growth + legacy.

We also talk about:

Why a pay raise shouldn’t immediately change your lifestyle

The difference between a dream + an actual vision

Why your five closest friends can impact your wealth

How to build a one-month financial cushion

Estate planning essentials most people overlook

Why social media can distort your idea of success

The financial lessons we absorb from our parents

What money meetings can look like as a family

Why couples need a shared vision for their money

Anthony’s vision for legacy, freedom, and his future family

Serena Kerrigan, author of Let’s Fucking Date, joins us for a candid conversation about relationships, self-worth, and the mindset shifts that can completely change the way you date. She gets real about going from chasing validation to knowing you are the chooser.

From the “three P” theory—potential, practice, or plot—to the two-drink rule, Serena shares how to make dating feel lighter, more fun, and less like a search for “the one.” We unpack red flags, the ick, pacing, standards, and why your time is a valuable resource.

We also talk about the difference between true self-worth + self-sabotage, why healthy relationships can mirror the parts of yourself you still need to grow, and how to stop projecting old heartbreak onto someone new.

We also talk about:

Why being single can be such a powerful season of self-worth + personal growth

The “Mirror, Mirror” practice + talking to yourself like your own best friend

Why we’re often attracted to people who reinforce what we believe we deserve

The three P’s of dating: potential, practice, or plot

How to tell the difference between the ick + an actual red flag

The two-drink rule, pacing, and protecting your time

How high standards can sometimes become limitations

The difference between a foundation list + a flex list when dating

What healthy love feels like: safety, ease, confidence, and being fully seen

Why your friendships can become the blueprint for the relationship you want

In this episode, Maya Ayed, founder of Alya Health, joins us to talk about why some of the most powerful health practices may be much simpler than we’ve been led to believe. She shares the Tunisian family tradition that changed her relationship with food, her gut, and her health.

From olive oil + polyphenols to gut health, blood sugar, hormones, and eating seasonally, Maya breaks down the lessons she brought from Tunisia into her life in the US. She also shares how her own health struggles became the catalyst for leaving tech and building a company around women’s health.

We also get into entrepreneurship, trusting your path, knowing when to make a career pivot, and why “less is more” might be the wellness philosophy we need right now. This conversation is about personal growth, nourishing your body, and building a life + business with purpose.

We also talk about:

Maya’s Tunisian roots + the Mediterranean lifestyle

How her own bloating, fatigue, and skin issues led her to investigate her gut health

The difference between regular olive oil + high-polyphenol olive oil

Gut health, inflammation, blood sugar, and metabolic health

Why eating seasonally + prioritizing whole foods can change how we nourish ourselves

The wellness industry’s obsession with supplements, powders, and quick fixes

Leaving a career in tech to pursue women’s health

How Maya built a community before she built her company

Why you’ll never feel completely ready to make a big career leap

Entrepreneurship, resilience, identity, and having fun along the way
