CATCH UP WITH K + L Today K + L begin by spotlighting Joe Rogan’s interview with Edward Snowden. They discuss the increase in censorship and shift in power after 9/11, then pivot to chatting about Joe’s ability to be a bada$$ + rad dad at the same time. Get ready for some lol’s as K recounts her story involving a police case, ridiculous clothes for Coachella, and a hit and run! Then L shares her friend’s experience with a medical procedure gone wrong—highlighting the importance of second opinions, asking questions, and being your own advocate in a doctors office.    THE INTERVIEW Today we are vibin’ so high with this powerful and impactful episode. It resonates so deeply with us; we can’t wait to share it with you. Our guest, Aaron Rose, is a conscious culture and life design coach, and motivational speaker. We recently started working with him to expand our knowledge on being conscious leaders. Today Aaron joins us to illustrate his journey of growth, and how he began living his truth after growing up in a religious household that limited self-expression. For example, Aaron talks about the family newspaper he started to advocate for himself due to the discord he felt toward their religion’s lack of acceptance. He shares his coming out process, the painful conversations of trying to explain himself to his family, and how his relationship has evolved with them over the years. We then ask what it means to be ‘real’ on Instagram, and love Aaron’s answer about searching for our relatable brilliance versus flaws. We also talk about being triggered—understanding when you’re being triggered, what to do, and the importance of allowing your emotions to flow through you. Aaron shares how dropping into your heart and cleaning up energetic patterns creates change. To wrap up, he shares his favorite books, and we spend some time nerding out on The Lord of the Rings!   We also talk about: How being fully present with others can create discomfort Aaron’s early experiences of discrimination How in conflict we still yearn for connection His involvement in social justice projects in high school and later How we are addicted to the lows Aaron’s relationship with God & faith How Aaron’s work has impacted individuals, teams, work cultures   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Love: Listen to Joe Rogan’s interview with Edward Snowden here.   Resources: Learn more: aaronxrose.com Instagram: @aaronxrose Recommended Books: A Course in Miracles ; A Return to Love ; The Holographic Universe ; Octavia Butler   Upcoming Events: November 26th: Melbourne with Rosie Acosta November 28th: Sydney with Jessica Sepel December 7th: Los Angeles with K&L December 12th: Miami with Nikki Novo   Sponsors: Buffy | Go to www.buffy.co use code ALMOST30 for $20 off Article | www.article.com/ALMOST30 for $50 off a purchase of $100 or more Foria | Visit foriawellness.com and use code ALMOST30 for 20% off Daily Harvest | Use code ALMOST30 for 3 FREE Cups in your first box at www.daily-harvest.com Teachable | Visit teachable.com/almost30 to get 1 month of Teachable Pro Plan FREE!
