418. Why We’re Leaving LA

418. Why We’re Leaving LA

Author: Krista Williams & Lindsey Simcik April 15, 2021 Duration: 55:03
Everything is as it was, and everything has changed. Lindsey is closing the door on her LA chapter and moving back to New York. Krista is contemplating motherhood and a potential move to Austin. Today, they give gratitude to the city that gifted them life-long connections, boundless creativity, and the opportunity to live out their authentic truth. Not to mention, drop woo-woo one-liners in social circles without any sense of irony! They also open up about the harder edges of LA life; from the hollowness of Hollywood and spiraling homelessness crisis to the impact of the pandemic on local businesses.  If you were waiting for an LA-bashing episode, this isn’t it. This is a celebration of what is, what’s coming, and what the hell was that? It’s an active shedding of old beliefs, and a permission slip to re-write the rules, lean into your intuition, go big, and go (to a new) home.  We also talk about: Celebrating community and creativity in LA Sober reflections on Hollywood industry Trusting your decisions, following your truth Our next destinations!  Why it’s normal to feel hesitant about starting a family  Creating narratives in your head Spirituality 2.0 Friendship transitions Find more to love at almost30.com!
