This week, Ash is joined by Krista Williams. Author, spiritual teacher, and co-host of the wildly popular Almost 30 podcast for a heartfelt conversation about navigating life’s transitions, healing, and building something meaningful from the ground up.

Krista opens up about the early days of launching Almost 30 with her best friend Lindsay Simcik, and how their shared curiosity, deep friendship, and willingness to grow sparked a movement rooted in authenticity and connection. From early career pivots to intimate moments with their community, this episode shines a light on the power of showing up before you feel “ready.”

But that’s just the beginning. Krista and Ash dive deep into the themes of personal evolution, feminine expression, and spiritual embodiment especially during the pivotal life phase between ages 27 to 30. They explore the importance of confronting your inner critic, navigating burnout, and reconnecting with your true voice, especially in a culture that often silences women. Krista also shares the behind-the-scenes of her new book, Almost 30, a beautiful guide for anyone moving through growth, uncertainty, or reinvention.

If you’re seeking permission to evolve, longing for deeper connection, or feeling the nudge to express your truth more fully, this episode will move you, ground you, and leave you deeply inspired.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

How Almost 30 started and why friendship was its greatest foundation
Why the ages of 27–30 are a powerful portal for growth and transformation
How to develop your spiritual voice and confront your inner critic with compassion
The healing potential of retreats, embodiment work, and authentic expression
