Send a textWhen resilience meets the culinary arts, magic happens in the kitchen and beyond. That's exactly the case with our incredible guest Olivia Wade, whose story of triumph is as rich and complex as her flavors.

With a spirit that refuses to be dampened, she shares how she fought through intense treatments and alternative therapies, turning her trials into a testament of unyielding strength.Shifting gears to my own journey, I've discovered that sometimes the path to healing others starts with healing oneself. The transition from a café manager to a Reiki practitioner from the comfort of my living room during the pandemic was unexpected, but it became a beacon of hope for many. My evolution didn't stop there; I stepped into the realm of clinical sexology and somatic work, embracing the profound impact of body awareness in healing. The stories I've collected are a mosaic of personal growth and the restorative power of creating safe spaces for the deepest parts of ourselves.As we wrap up the conversation, we explore how self-care isn't just a buzzword—it's a cornerstone for those in leadership and hospitality. Sharing insights into the life-altering impact of Reiki and energy work, we discuss finding balance and the attraction of a positive mindset. The serendipitous partnership with my mother, which blossomed into a thriving business, serves as a beacon of hope and possibility during the most uncertain times. We cap off the episode by contemplating the flow state that comes with being fully present, whether in the rush of a busy kitchen or the quiet moments of life. Join us for a heartwarming episode that's equal parts inspiration and practical wisdom, served with a side of genuine soul.Thank you Olivia!!https://www.olivia-wade.com/Thank you to our listeners!!
