I’m joined by Krista Williams, co-host of the wildly successful Almost 30 podcast and co-author of the brand-new book Almost 30: A Definitive Guide to a Life You Love for the Next Decade and Beyond. Krista and her co-host Lindsey Simcik created the guide they wished they had during the confusing, transformative transition from their late 20s into their 30s—a time full of cosmic shake-ups, friendship shifts, body image reckoning, and purpose redefinition.

This conversation goes deep into the heart of that transition. Krista opens up about how her relationship with her body has evolved after years of being steeped in diet culture and how turning 30 brought her a completely new lens on friendship, self-worth, and intuitive living.

We talk about what it means to truly feel safe in your body, how to let go of relationships with compassion, and why growing older can be a deeply spiritual initiation—if you let it be.

We explore:

• The emotional shifts that come with turning 30

• Letting go of friendships that no longer align—and the grief that comes with it

• How to attract relationships that reflect your growth

• Healing from diet culture and embracing a softer, intuitive approach to wellness

• Rebuilding a sense of safety in your body after years of disconnection

• Self-worth, control, and learning to trust your body again

• Creating identity outside of old stories, labels, or roles

• Why the Saturn Return is more than an astrology trend—it’s a spiritual doorway

Whether you're navigating a friendship breakup, trying to heal your relationship with food, or simply wondering who you're becoming—this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

What’s really in your child’s school lunch — and what’s it doing to their health?

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Nora LaTorre, CEO and co-founder of Eat Real, to unpack the state of school food in America. Nora shares the shocking truth behind the ultra-processed meals fed to millions of kids each day — and how it’s contributing to the rise in type 2 diabetes, attention issues, and chronic disease.

We explore how school cafeterias became “the largest restaurant chain in America,” what’s fueling the crisis, and how Nora is fighting back through policy, advocacy, and real food. You’ll hear why she believes parents have more power than they think, what other countries are doing differently, and what we can do — starting at home — to reclaim our children’s health.

If you’ve ever felt heartbroken or helpless about the food your child is served at school, this episode is your blueprint for change.

Topics include:

• The shocking amount of sugar in school meals

• Why ultra-processed food is a threat to child development

• How school lunches affect focus, emotional health, and behavior

• What real leadership in food policy looks like

• Simple actions parents can take to advocate for better food

In this deeply personal and thought-provoking conversation, Claudia sits down with Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life of America, to explore abortion through a lens that isn’t often discussed—the physical, emotional, and spiritual aftermath many women experience.

This episode isn’t about pushing an agenda. It’s about asking questions that often go unanswered in mainstream conversations and inviting nuance into a topic that’s usually black and white.

Together, we explore:

• What women wish they knew before having an abortion

• Physical and hormonal side effects that are rarely talked about

• Why emotional and spiritual healing is just as important as physical recovery

• The growing role of abortion pills—and the concerns around their impact on young women

• How we can better support women and children in a society that often fails both

• How to have respectful, faith-informed conversations in a world that can feel hostile to differing views

Whether you agree with Kristan’s stance or not, this episode is an invitation to listen with curiosity and compassion. You may not walk away with all the answers—but you’ll definitely walk away with a broader perspective.

If you’ve ever felt like your body is falling apart and no doctor can tell you why—this episode is for you. I’m joined by Dr. Jaban Moore, a functional medicine chiropractor who’s made it his mission to help people heal from the real root causes of chronic illness—especially the ones most doctors overlook.

We get into two things that are finally getting the attention they deserve: nervous system dysregulation and autoimmune overwhelm—specifically Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and histamine intolerance. These are major reasons so many people are struggling with fatigue, food sensitivities, inflammation, reactivated viruses, and mystery symptoms that get dismissed as “just anxiety.”

Dr. Jaban shares his own health journey and breaks down:

• The difference between histamine intolerance and MCAS

• Why your anxiety, pain, or fatigue might be coming from emotional trauma or nervous system chaos

• How foundational habits (sunlight, sleep, slowing down) matter more than any supplement

• Whether elimination diets and food sensitivity tests are healing or just bandaids

• If you’ll ever be able to eat an avocado or tomato again (hint: yes, but not overnight)

• How to know if you’re actually herxing… or just making things worse

If you’ve been told your symptoms are “all in your head,” this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. And yes—healing is possible.

What if your illness isn’t just physical—but also deeply tied to your thoughts, language, and identity?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Clinical Hypnotherapist Emily Cahill to explore the deeper layers of healing that most people overlook. Emily’s journey began with a Lyme disease diagnosis at 19, followed by years of chronic fatigue, anxiety, and emotional burnout. Like me, she once searched outside herself for answers—clinging to protocols, experts, and “healing diets”—until she realized the true root of healing lies within.

Together, we unpack the ways we unknowingly block our own healing through the words we use, the stories we repeat, and the communities we bond with over suffering. We dive into what Medical Support Hypnotherapy is, how it works, and why it may be the missing piece for those stuck in chronic illness or emotional stagnation. We also explore the surprising connection between personality traits and disease, the limitations of nervous system regulation, and how guided imagery can rewire the body for wellness.
