Disembodiment, The Parent Trap, and Finding My Way Back Home

Episode iii: Disembodiment, The Parent Trap, and Finding My Way Back Home

In this episode, Olivia takes you on a personal journey of disembodiment, starting with childhood and the moment she began strategizing instead of feeling. From quoting The Parent Trap to trying to fix her parents’ relationship, Olivia shares how early experiences led her to leave her body and live in her head. She dives into the consequences of that, how society rewards us for being “rational” and “in control,” and why embodiment is a necessary rebellion against that.

Olivia also shares how yoga cracked her open and helped her come back to her body—how meeting the stuck places and really feeling them shifted her life. In this episode, we explore why embodiment isn’t just about healing—it’s about reclaiming power, rewriting our stories, and learning to live from the inside out. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, this episode is for you.
