Hey there,
This episode isn’t one I expected to share, but between interviews, I kept getting this nudge to talk about something deeply personal. When I was 7, I had an experience that changed everything. Overnight, I went from feeling solid and at home in my skin to completely disassociated. From that moment on, I’ve been on this relentless quest to find my way back to myself, always searching for a safe place to land. But somehow, I kept reaching outside myself, looking ‘out there,’ instead of inward. To me, it’s a trauma response—born of a deep wound of separation.
Because you can’t truly find home out there. It becomes this obsessive, addictive loop. I didn’t even realize that most of my life had been spent leaving my body behind. It started when I was young, and my mind has felt homeless ever since.
The world rewarded this. Be rational. Be smart. Be in control. But here’s the question—what happens when we leave the body, the place where we actually experience life?
This episode is all about what it took for me to come back. How yoga cracked open something in me. How I stopped just understanding my body and started meeting the places where I was stuck. And why embodiment isn’t just about healing—it’s about reclaiming our power, dismantling old systems, and actually living fully inside ourselves again.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected or struggled to truly be in your body, this one’s for you.
I’d love to hear what resonates—reply and let me know.
With you,
Olivia
