Show Notes
This might be one of the most important conversations we've had about modern dating.

In this episode, attachment expert + relationship educator Dr. Sarah Hensley (aka The Love Doc) joins Krista to unpack why modern dating feels harder than ever—and how our attachment styles shape the relationships we choose, the red flags we overlook, and the love we believe we deserve.
In this episode, Lindsey is joined by Krista Maas, founder of Nunona, the world's first organic, real-food prenatal and postnatal vitamin bite. From supplement marketing to the science behind real food, Krista shares why she believes nourishment starts with understanding what we put in our bodies—and what the labels don’t always tell us.
In this solo, Lindsey opens up about navigating friendships in different seasons of life, from motherhood to career changes, marriage, and everything in between. She shares why relationship shifts don’t automatically mean something is wrong—and how letting go of expectations can create more space for connection.
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.
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.
