June 24, 2025

Listen to this episode on

What does it mean to truly evolve? With your work, your relationships, your body, and your beliefs? In this vulnerable and expansive conversation, Nicole Doran sits down with Lindsey Simcik, co-founder of the Almost 30 podcast and new mom, to explore the intersections of spirituality, wellness, womanhood, and personal growth

Lindsey opens up about the many evolutions she’s gone through over the last decade: the early, unfiltered years of podcasting, her spiritual awakening, the sacredness of being single, her transition to motherhood, and the profound changes that come with writing a book while pregnant. She shares how simplifying her wellness routine, embracing her role as a mother, and strengthening her connection to God have brought her a deeper sense of peace and alignment.

This is an honest conversation about reparenting yourself and leading your life, especially when it comes to love, family, and your purpose. If you’re in a season of transition or craving a reminder that growth is rarely linear, this episode offers grounding wisdom and a lot of heart.
