Shop Flow Y now at lululemon.com. guys we stumbled upon a gem so literally i was the other day i was trying to share how my voice has changed so much over the years in the past 10 years of doing the show if we look back 10 years we've changed so much so many times over we've allowed ourselves to change and i think it's because she really pushed us you would not recognize who i am same with you that's the point and one of my friends emailed me and was like hey girl like this is yours people copying people been always been copying.

1:26You know who copied? The emoji creator. The brand hundreds. That is so true. I remember that copier.

1:46Hello, guys. Welcome to a very special episode of Almost 30. Almost 30.

1:52Lindsey Simcik:It's Lindsay and Krista celebrating our 10 years. Yeah. This year we are turning 10. September 2016 is when we launched. It's really crazy. Crazy and trippy. I can't believe it. I can and I can't, you know, like we've we've there's so much that has transpired over the years. and also I think the more unbelievable part is like I think about ourselves at that time in that age we never would have thought I never would have thought that we would be doing this 10 years later I know I don't know what I I not in a way that I'm like oh it's more like whoa like you yeah I don't know what it's weird though because I didn't have a vision I we're gonna hear on this episode but I don't know if I would have knew I was doing anything else like I didn't have any other it was so focused hyper focused on this but I didn't know if to think about anything else but I just think about I mean this time just trips me out like I just get so trippy but what's been beautiful about the process of almost 30 is like it's always felt like just a yes and then what's next yeah and you know it's funny as someone was asking me about what I what I'm looking for in my person and I said and this is so cute so I'm like not gonna look at you in the eye because it's too cute but I was like I wanted to feel like how it felt when I met Lindsay where it felt like it was like okay two souls it was like we were locked in and it didn't ever feel like this big thing but it felt like great now we know where to go like it felt like this easy movement forward of like our souls finally came together and now we're here and now we know the next step yeah of creating the business and that will be creating the life and the family and um yeah it's always just felt like a yes and it's always just felt like what's next and it's always felt like uh how do we figure this out instead of like how do we get out which people can do a lot in relationships um and even in the hard times you know at the beginning when we were kind of going through our own like shadow stuff of like building a business um it was always like okay how can we like figure this out yeah you know yeah there was never that urge to run away and I think so much of that I think we can attribute to like our own soul connection but then there was also like the entity of almost 30 that was like very powerful and guiding us and I think we've realized that even more in retrospect and we realize that today like I just think she continues and it sounds you know out there so if you're like who but she's really like so loyal to the mission and our community and evolving you know so if we look back 10 years we've changed so much so many times over we've allowed ourselves to change and I think it's because she really pushed us like it's time it's time to rebrand it's time to write the book yeah it's time to you know you know restructure the business yeah like there's been so many seasons of change and I think that has made us so practiced and like allowing it to happen being resilient in those times where it feels hard to change and staying connected through the change yeah i think when you have a mission-driven business or a mission-driven person you recognize that it's not just about you you recognize that it's about the work you're bringing into the world the you know message you're bringing into the world like i think about a lot of my friends and almost all my friends in their businesses it's like you know courtney it's like helping people live healthier lives, helping protect the environment from glyphosates, helping to do all these things.

5:59So it's not actually just about her as a person. For us, it's like helping people navigate times of change, helping people become who they are, helping people to like align to their souls. And so that's the important thing. So you have to kind of attune to that rather than like what, you know, you all the time where it's like, I would hate to be like an influencer that was just like me, my fashion, my like, you know, fashion's great. Like it makes people feel good. And there's always layers in depth to everything. But like, I'm very grateful that there has always been like the greater mission of almost 30.

6:29And it's helped. It's almost like in any relationship, like even in a marriage, you'd be like, okay, we're attuned to this union, the union at the center. We're attuned to this, like the greater force or the greater thing, attuned to God, you know, in other areas. It's like, how can we attune to the greater force rather than just us?

6:45Lindsey Simcik:Yeah, completely. So on that deep note, we wanted to listen back to some apps and we stumbled. Guys, we stumbled upon a gen. So literally I was the other day, I was trying to share how my voice has changed so much over the years in the past 10 years of doing the show. What's beautiful about having a podcast is you have this amazing opportunity to continue to renegotiate who you are based on what you're hearing. So I heard myself say, hell yeah, 400 times in the first year of the show, I would say, hell yeah, hell yeah. And hearing that, I could listen and I could leave it behind. And my voice has changed so much over the years.

7:31You would not recognize who I am. Same with you. That's the point. And in the process of listening to older episodes where I wanted to find my voice, we found an old episode of us. What's it called? It's called episode 10. Let's get personal. It's called episode 10. It's episode 10. Let's get personal. And like, it's funny. I just think that's so assumptive now where it's like, let's get personal.

7:54Lindsey Simcik:Like I think I want to play the, first of all, we have to like just reorient people to 10 years ago, 10 years ago. This is our intro. Okay. And how we introduce this episode. This cringy this is your cringe permission slip shall we

8:17Lindsey Simcik:welcome to almost 30 with krista williams and lindsey simpson each week we catch up with krista and lindsey to hear what's happening now what hilariousness happened in and to ask is it almost 30. Hey. Welcome to Almost 30, everybody. Good to love you guys. Good to feel you out there. Lindsay, you're so horny in this. Like, Lindsay is so horny in this. It's making me fucking cry. I'm like, I don't think you can have, I don't think your son can hear that.

8:53Lindsey Simcik:Oh, God. That's me having a voice. Yeah, that's true. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, that's, It's still raspy and I have like almost no voice. But at that time, that's me actually having a voice. So the OGs know Lindsay did not have a voice for the first. I taught SoulCycle 15 classes a week. It was ripping my voice to shreds. On top of that, I was probably like drinking. I was drinking on the weekends, just not taking care of my body. Okay. And get to know each other. Some of these things I feel like you might not know. I might not know about each other. Yeah. So we're going to use this episode to interview each other a little bit, ask a few questions.

9:32Each other? I'm going to ask a few questions about Lindsay. She's going to ask a few questions. We're going to ask some questions. Hopefully you get to know a little bit more about us, so that will be helpful as we continue this journey together of almost 30. Yeah. And we haven't told each other the questions. So there's this experience that empaths have called emotional contagion where we feel things so deeply. Right now, I honestly could vomit. my eyes are watering i have something in the back of my throat i'm so uncomfortable

10:00Lindsey Simcik:okay continue oh my god so this first part this first half is like you asking me questions okay um let's skip to because we said we're gonna ask each other questions because each other need to ask each other the question was like how did going to an all-girls school shape you oh interesting lindsey's friendship okay at least that was a deeper question than like i thought i was like where are you from oh that was the first question okay like where are you from and how did it showcasing my podcasting skills violently ripped me from public school and threw me into the slammer that was literally an all-girls school that felt like a prison i'm not joking it how many students 23 girls in my grade but like the actual school itself kind of looked like a prison reminds me of matilda yes but truly it became such a loving amazing place oh totally it was a prison but it was amazing and loving actually because because my my my internal self said what if anyone listens to oh my god literally it was an amazing loving place oh my god you said it was a prison then you the next sentence that is an amazing loving place when i went to visit um i really thought my parents were sending me somewhere like because i needed to be reformed and like become a lesbian that's so not true what did i say no i said i said that i thought my parents wanted me to send me wanted to send me there to be reformed to become a lesbian you said that that was just like a comedic like what was i trying to say that's not true that's i missed it there it's the opposite like the reformation would not be like reformation to being a lesbian gonna be out of it also like where are we recording yeah i know honestly 10 episodes in are we in the car i think we're in the car i think you're the microphone i think i'm in the back because i'm just like getting like bits in i'm not even i'm like i'm like was it matilda like i'm not like present.

12:06Lindsey Simcik:Also, early days, I mean, you're not interrupting, but we're literally just interrupting. It's like the commentary. Yes. Each other is like commenting on everything. I can't let you have a second. They put slop on your like cafeteria. Yes. Everything's great. Yeah. It was not bright. I'll say that. However, I probably learned about myself the most in high school. Yeah, that's because you're literally 25. I learned to be a friend. Yeah, seriously. I learned the most about myself as a friend, as like a fellow woman, a girl, to other women. Yeah, fuck yeah. Fuck yeah.

12:55Lindsey Simcik:Oh my God, I go fuck yeah. because i would never think of myself as like a victim you were there in seventh and eighth grade seventh through 12. true hell seventh and eighth grade with girls it was i went in and and i was best friends with this girl and quickly she turned on me and became like the ultimate bully granted this was in a bubble at an all-girls school that was very small but to me it literally affected my every day and mood and how I felt about myself. And it was hell for like two and a half years for sure. Me wanting space for ultimate trauma. And then I go into, I got my hair coat when I played Peter Pan.

13:36Lindsey Simcik:Okay. I think we're good on this one. Oh my God. Oh, fuck. Okay. Let's go to one of Krista's. Oh God.

13:47State your name. Krista Lynn Williams. Who gave you your name? My daddy. there was a hot girl in his college class her name was krista so i got the name krista wait i love that how did your mom feel about that i don't know she was into it it's like my name has always been like different because it's krista williams which is a yeah i love that oh really

17:28and a pencil skirt and these like sandals i was like so hot yeah i used to wear pencil skirts all the time i was shopping at like antler loft yeah i was gonna say like a limited like the adult store yes banana republic i would wear like there was a year when i was like if i'm gonna say that i stole my mom's credit card to shop at white house black market into business interviews. I would wear pointy shoes every day. I would wear dress clothes. I would wear dress clothes every day, button downs every day. I was starting like clubs left and right. I started like 50 clubs. I got that stress. So this phase served me well.

18:04But that day when I had print hair, braces off, download, tits out. What was this question? What was the time you felt you looked hot as a child?

18:12Lindsey Simcik:Yeah, like an outfit that made you feel fly. What? That made you feel fly. Also, was fly in our vernacular back then? Why? What an interesting question to get to know someone. Right? Okay. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Can we normalize needing support before we're completely overwhelmed? I think so many of us wait until we're at our breaking point to ask for help when support doesn't have to be a last resort. BetterHelp's 2026 state of stigma reports surveyed 2 ,000 Americans and revealed that 85 % of Americans believe getting support is wise, yet 74 % say society discourages people from doing so.

18:56Lindsey Simcik:We talk about mental health more openly than ever, but there's still this message that we should just push through and handle it all on our own. But with over 30 ,000 therapists and more than 6 million people serve globally, BetterHelp does the initial matching work for you so you can focus on your therapy goals. And if your match isn't the right fit, you can switch at any time. Don't let stigma stand in the way of support. Start therapy with BetterHelp.

He just is like doing his thing and does it with reckless abandon. Yeah, because he doesn't like you. Because he's an avoidant. He is doing his thing and he's doing it with reckless abandon. It's hurting you the entire time. I hate that question, but I'm asking it. I know. Because I know you plan. You can't plan. You can't plan. There's absolutely no way to plan.

21:58Profound. This is one thing. I hate this. I'm going to ask you a question. I absolutely hate this question. It's a terrible question. And there's no answer to it, actually, because you can't plan and you're not able to plan. But tell me. But tell me.

26:24Lindsey Simcik:I'm so obviously taking from like an experience I've recently had. and and and retelling it in so much detail yeah that's a quick fire question what the fuck it's just so entire body is shaved basically but like especially like not one hair on one ball no no nothing to me and you're just like no no my little like my little like oh hell yeah oh yeah oh that's great no no like i'm just like i'm just like my little encouraging phrases i'm like oh yeah one ball wow wow i'm just like mirroring you i'm just completely mirroring you no no opinion like let me do me let me sometimes not be perfect you know i would be like i would be kind of thinking like are you going to be like a germaphobe right are you gonna know it makes me think about other things it's like it's not the fact that you're hairless because i'm kind of into like it being clean but like right what does this mean why are you making this a quick fire why are you asking me this question that you wanted to tell a story about that's horny that's what i'm saying just like but not a deal breaker just maybe a fun convo to get to the bottom of oh so the question is this a deal breaker yeah i was like it's okay can you i am i'm not into it i'm a virgin i'm like you do you you do me i'm like i'm like media trained here you've been dating for uh a month and a half and lindsey this is actually how long you were dating that person like you're like in it and you're like oh my god this is like this could be it and he tells you um he just he has to like have a conversation with you um deal breaker or not i would want to have known for right but i can understand like what would take you so long i like it'd be interesting like why don't you see him true you like i feel like you're the most forthrights person and what you believe really yeah you like know you're like you're the person knows yourself and knows what you're doing more than anybody i know so maybe it's not my worst but it's definitely something that i do yeah and maybe not it maybe it's not apparent to other people yeah i think that is true like everyone totally and it's okay i don't get like too frustrated but i just want to be better about it because i think it'll be better for myself and everyone else around me too you know like in relationships and um i guess what i mean is like you have a connection to your intuition stronger than anyone i know so like you have a strong voice so it's like there are you you know sometimes you're not listening to it you know but i know that you have the strongest voice thank you um and my best quality side your ass my best quality i would say is that i i really like love to see the best in people and it hasn't really like worked against me in my life you know i don't look at people and see their best to a fault but I just I think it serves me because then it's giving them like the chance to be the best person like for me too you know and if they don't all about you that's cool and then I know but um I'll never like I'm not the type to think someone sucks until they prove me wrong I will say being pregnant again has made me even more intentional about the choices I'm making I've done a few episodes on this.

30:04Lindsey Simcik:I found myself reading labels more closely, investing in higher quality products, and asking what do I actually trust enough to use every single day? My standards have definitely gotten higher. That's one of the reasons Ritual has remained part of my routine. Their essential prenatal is the number one best-selling prenatal and the only leading prenatal backed by its own human clinical trial. I also really appreciate the experience of taking it. The capsules were designed with an upset stomach in mind and dissolve in the small intestines. And compared to other supplements I've tried, they've felt easier just overall to take and gentler overall.

30:45Lindsey Simcik:I trust that I'm getting thoughtfully selected traceable ingredients like choline, folate, and omega-3. And I love that ritual aligns with the choices I am already making. They're non-GMO, gluten and major allergen free, and don't use synthetic colorants. Don't settle for less than evidence-based support. Save 25 % on your first month at ritual.com slash almost 30. That's ritual.com slash almost 30 for 25 % off your first month. Someone's sucking to prove you wrong, or someone's either doing something and if it sucks for you and proves it. But yeah, I just, I love that. I see that for you. I really hate that, right?

31:27Lindsey Simcik:And you meet people in your life that are like, you're too nice. You're too forgiving. You're too, I don't know, open or whatever. You're too beautiful. Wounded woman. So sweet.
