For Olivia Amitrano, herbalism is everything. In college, a concoction of Chinese medical herbs would heal her crippling skin and gut issues, and, at 28 years old, a profound psilocybin journey lifted the veil on her shadow and transformed her life outlook. Now her sights are set on the powerful properties and rituals of tea. Did we mention, she's the founder of modern herbal medicine brand Organic Olivia? Olivia is creating space in her life, whether that's taking three weeks to go offline and learning new ways to hold a safe container for friendship or simply going for a long walk.  In this episode, she divulges how her self-awareness journey is shaping her relationships and how her passion for herbalism was planted, and why it just keeps on growing.   We also talk about: What that looks and feels like to go completely offline The transformational psilocybin journey that lifted the veil Navigating anxiety, hormonal and gut health Reframing exercise + the wonders of walking  How she found herbalism and future business plans Sponsors: Sugarbreak | Break free from sugar dependence with a natural, non-prescription support system.
