The following is an operation podcast production. It was right in front of me this whole time, and that's what I think is so funny about the journey, is that when we're kids, we know exactly who we are. Like we come into this world knowing and remembering and like why we came here and all the things, and then we slowly kind of get it conditioned out of us. And it's just a journey of remembering. But I think for us, we get to a certain age and we're

like, I've aged out of play. But we're missing out on so many of these. We don't even allow ourselves

to play often in our work or in our work days. Imagine if we approached our work with a more

playful approach, how much more, quote, productive we'd be versus forcing ourselves to be productive each day.

I think what you consciously chose to do, many people wish they could do or struggle to do.

And that's honor, this gut feeling, this knowing of not so much that what I'm doing right now is wrong because it wasn't for you, but it's just, it's time for a change.

And you actually gave that version of you, that inner child, the floor to fully explore that.

And now look what you've created from it.

Hi, I'm Olivia Amitrano, clinical herbalist and founder of organic Olivia,, as well as a recording artist under the name O.D.Livia.

I am back on Everforward Radio, and I'm so excited to be here.

Well, we're here. We're back.

Last time it was Organic Olivia. Now it's Olivia.

Yeah, it's Olivia and Matrono, who is many people. I looked at the, I like the Spotify. I look at the

O.Divia. I love the Olivia. Olivia. Because everyone in my music life calls me O. And then

and then my company is O.O. So it's, it's really interesting. I'm like, oh, and then OO, and then Olivia Amitrano, like the weirdo is somewhere in the middle. But it's like all these different identities that. So you're like, I feel like the next evolution to James Bond, you're just like, double O. Oh. That's all the things. I don't know. It's confusing. It's a branding nightmare, actually. But I really appreciate you and your show because it's kind of like this marker in time that I now have of me sort of discovering this in real time and being able to tell the story as it's unfolding and kind of make sense of it myself. Well, I mean, that's what living a life ever forward is all about.

You know, the theme, the through line here of the show is to bring on people of, you know, I don't know if we really fully realize that at the time, but this is a snapshot of who I am, where I am, what I'm doing for myself and for others, and how I'm putting it out there and how I'm sharing it. So we got to see that snapshot with you of that point of time of you.

Yeah.

For you. and how I'm putting it out there and how I'm sharing it. So we got to see that snapshot with you of that point and time of you for you and for others.

And now, yeah, a year and a half later, that episode 784 came out March 2024.

Yeah.

And just, I don't know what the title of this episode is going to be now, but that was herbalism for digestion, energy, and mood.

Then we kind of snuck in the last part, how art therapy can boost creativity and navigating
