About this listen

 We’re sold the idea that balance means doing everything perfectly at the same time being productive at work, fully present at home, on top of the holidays, and magically finding space to grow a business or podcast without missing a beat. But that version of “balance” is the very thing keeping so many entrepreneurs and podcasters stuck in guilt, overwhelm, and the constant feeling of never being enough. In this episode, Olivia breaks down the lie behind traditional work–life balance and reveals why your real power comes from presence, intentionality, and the courage to release perfection. Through honest stories and the hard lessons learned while building her business, she shares how she went from 12-hour days to a seasonally adaptive, strategy-first approach without sacrificing results.

If you’ve ever said “I don’t have time,” waited for the perfect moment to start, or felt torn between your priorities, this conversation will shift how you see productivity, balance, and growth. Olivia unpacks why clarity matters more than control, why perfectionism stalls progress, and how redefining balance allows you to launch, build, and sustain your podcast or business with far less pressure and far more impact. You’ll walk away with a new understanding of what balance actually looks like not equal time, but intentional time and the presence to show up where it matters most.
