860. Identity Shifts, Breakups + Becoming Your Next Self

What if you could start over—right now? In this K+L solo, Lindsey + Krista explore the truth about identity shifts, the discomfort of being in-between versions of yourself, and why the most painful seasons are often the most transformative. They dive into the illusion of “arrival” and why so many of us feel lost when life doesn’t follow a predictable timeline. You’ll hear powerful reflections on releasing old identities, navigating uncertainty, and how to trust yourself when nothing feels clear. If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or like your life isn’t reflecting who you’re becoming… this episode will shift something in you. Because the truth is: you don’t need a milestone to reinvent your life—you just need the courage to begin. We also talk about: Why life transitions feel harder outside of “expected” milestones The grief + liberation that coexist during major life changes Letting go of old timelines, relationships, and versions of yourself Why feeling your emotions is essential for real transformation Navigating breakups, divorce, and calling your energy back Motherhood as a massive identity shift + spiritual initiation The difference between soul desire vs. comparison-driven restlessness Why acceptance is the key to true personal growth Healing stuck emotions + how they keep you from moving forward Reparenting yourself + breaking generational emotional patterns Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.
