This episode of the Bodies by Brent Podcast will have you questioning how to heal your unconscious traumas of the past.
Olivia is a culinary trained, wellness entrepreneur, trauma-informed coach, healer, speaker, and boxing coach. She never realized that as a boxing coach at her ‘Box and Flow’ studio in NY she was sharing the exact advice she needed to hear.
Liv shares her story of “answering the call” of plant medicine in her life, how that led to her uncovering hidden traumas from her past, and how it all started in Janice Joplin’s old apartment at the Chelsea Hotel. She shares what she has done to integrate these harsh realities and what she's been able to do to reclaim what was once taken from her.
