Summary

This episode is brought to you by Timeline Nutrition and Fatty15.

Join us as we explore the profound connections between herbalism, healing, and creativity with the brilliant mind behind the brand "Organic Olivia", Olivia Amitrano. Together, we navigate the power of ancestral knowledge and the resonance it holds in our lives today. Olivia shares how herbs from our heritage may intimately link with us on a genetic level, potentially influencing our health in ways yet to be fully grasped by modern science. She also shares her personal journey of reconnecting with the essence of herbalism, transitioning from broad-spectrum herbal solutions to fostering a more intimate, relationship-driven practice that deeply impacts our health and sparks our creative flames.

Olivia also discusses the challenging yet rewarding path to self-awareness and joy, examining personal experiences of overcoming childhood trauma and codependency. She candidly reflects on her own battle with cannabis dependency and the awakening that comes from confronting deep emotions and learning to self-soothe. The episode also delves into the subtleties of codependency in relationships, where Olivia sheds light on the transformative power of self-awareness and the significance of establishing boundaries and the concept of task separation, which is crucial for maintaining individuality and healthy interpersonal dynamics.
