Olivia starts us out with a wild story of her unique childhood growing up within the Children of God cult and how that experience led to her own struggles and challenges in her own life. One of my favorite parts about hearing Olivia tell this tale is her ability to find the silver lining and also recognize the parts of her early experience that were positive while still acknowledging the difficulties. She truly embodies the victor mentality in her life.
After we learn the background that led her to where she is in life today Olivia shares her insight and mental tools she uses in her practice as a psychedelic assisted therapist adhering to the MAPS protocol. I learned a ton from her and am incredibly grateful for her time and passion for this subject.
