Good to know:I’m a coach, not a doctor. This episode is education, not medical advice. If symptoms feel severe or constant, please talk to a doctor or therapist.
The arena metaphor: It isn’t originally Brené Brown’s. It comes from Theodore Roosevelt’s 1910 “Man in the Arena” speech, and her book Daring Greatly takes its title from it. Credit both, as above.

EP 4: Navigating modern times and Swedish pick-up lines
In this episode, documentary filmmaker Yasmin van Dorp, whose short film The Spectacle was featured in The New Yorker, and I, get cosy on the very orange couch and have a lovely conversation about:
🎬 Filmmaking as a way of navigating modern times and what that means in a world obsessed with social media and the "supposed perfection of the Self"
🌀 Why you sometimes have to lose yourself in order to find yourself
🫥 Depression, highs and lows and the importance of a social safety net
👁️ The blind spots of personal development nobody talks about
👂 How the art of listening quietly shaped a documentary filmmaker
❓The beauty of asking questions rather than chasing answers
🇸🇪 …and yes, Swedish pick-up lines

Episode 3: The only one stopping you, is you!
EPISODE 3 - The only thing stopping you, is you!
This episode is for anyone who keeps saying "when the time is right." Spoiler alert: that time is now.
In this solo episode, Olivia gets personal... reflecting on the experiences, moments, and quirks that have shaped who she is, and asking the question we all need to sit with: are we letting everyday challenges become excuses to put our dreams on hold?

Episode 2: Honouring your unique path
Episode 2 is here — and for the first time, I’m welcoming a guest. ✨
In this conversation, I sit down with artist and puppeteer Joanna Hruby, founder of @theatreoftheancients and host of the podcast @wellsoftanit.
Together, we dive into the 5 “W” questions, exploring the experiences, choices, fears and inner callings that make Joanna - Joanna.
We talk about the courage it takes to listen to that quiet little voice inside of you… the one asking you to do something wildly, unapologetically you. Even when it makes no sense. Even when it scares you.
A conversation about art, grandmothers, intuition, vulnerability, and the strange beauty of following your own path.
