This is Conversations with Olivia Jade and I Heart Radio podcast.
Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode of Conversations. So
today's episode, I'm flying solo because I'm currently out of
(00:22):
the country. I've been traveling for the last month or so,
and with the time difference and stuff, it's just a
little difficult to get a guest on. But I also
love these types of episodes because it gives me a
good chance and I think you guys really like it
as well, where we can just like hang out and
talk to one another, which is always fun. So I've
actually taken it to the podcast Instagram. If you guys
(00:45):
don't follow it and you enjoy the podcast, please give
it a follow because then you guys can be more
involved in these episodes. And you can also see when
new episodes I released, and that's where we also show
the visual clips like this. So um yeah, make sure
you're following that Instagram page. If you're not, it's Conversations
(01:07):
with Olivia Jade. I believe it's in my Instagram bio,
so you can check it out there. But I asked
you guys on there for some questions to answer, and
I won't keep you for too long on this episode,
but I do want to go through and answer them
and just catch up with you guys. Oh my god.
(01:27):
Side note, craziest thing happened to me yesterday. I'm currently
in a foreign country and I was just minding my
own business driving on the road. I was trying to
get to the grocery store because there's like where I am,
it's a really really tiny town, so you have to
drive like twenty minutes outside of the town for a
real grocery store where you can buy like all your
(01:50):
stuff for the week. Because here there's only one store
and it's like a fresh produce, tiny, tiny, tiny store.
So I decide I'm going to take the car. Also,
I was so nervous to do this because everything's on
the opposite side here, so the steering wheels on the
other side of the car, and then you're also driving
on the opposite side of the road. But I worked
(02:13):
up the courage. I was like, it's okay, I got this.
I know how to drop a car. Things were going great.
I'm on the highway and it literally sounds and feels
like I'm driving on gravel and like or like just
giant rocks, like sharp pointy rocks, and I was like,
what's going on? And then a woman drivers by me
and she starts waving my car down and it's like
(02:34):
you're tire, like pointing at the tire, and I was like,
so I pull over to the side, I kid you,
not my tire. The whole thing looked like it was
going to fall off in any second. And when I
had gotten in the car that morning, I saw on
like the dashboard it had said like low tire pressure.
(02:55):
But I didn't think anything of it because I feel
like when I'm home in l A. My car said
that to me in the past, especially when I was
a little bit younger, and I would kind of ignore
it and it would be fine, which don't do. Clearly,
this is a big learning lesson. If your car says
low tire pressure, it might actually be a severe problem,
because I think if I drove any further, the tire
would have fully flown off the car, and I don't
(03:17):
know what would have happened. But I was on the
highway and all these cars were going really fast past me,
and it was just a really scary, scary, scary experience.
But we're good anyway, kind of irrelevant, but that's why.
Um oh, well, I guess us don't know this, but
I was supposed to record my podcast yesterday and um
(03:40):
that happened, so now we're here today recording it. But
it made for an interesting evening, I'll tell you that much. Okay,
So the first question you guys asked me on Instagram
was what are three things people don't know about you
that would be surprising? Three things? I think number one
I don't know if this would be surprising, but three
(04:02):
things I guess I don't talk about too often is
but I'm really interested into listening to other podcasts, but
specifically in the self help category, also just books in general.
If you guys haven't listened to ed my Lets podcast,
I listened to it on Spotify. I've listened to it
every single morning while being away, I go for like
a forty five to an hour walk in the neighborhood.
(04:25):
And I listened to any episode because he has the
most amazing people on that I think are inspiring and helpful.
And if you're in a creative rut, or you feel uninspired,
or you're a little depressed or whatever, is there's some
sort of episode for you. I listened to one the
other day all about gut health, and I thought it
(04:46):
was so fascinating. He brings on so many amazing people
that specialize in these categories and they teach you so much.
So if you're in anything like any sort of clouded head, um,
you guys should check out his podcast. It's been really
helpful to me and it's taught me a lot, and
it's something that, like, it is so inspiring where I
want to make my content kind of in that direction
(05:09):
as well, because I think for so long I've been
so passionate about fashion and makeup and stuff like that,
which I still love and adore, and that's what my
content will probably always be about because that's what I
think I'm really good at. UM. But I feel like
as I've gotten older, I've learned so much about I
(05:35):
guess just like mental health in general, especially after going
through the last few years online and dealing with stuff
publicly and then how I deal with it privately hasn't
always been like the healthiest and so trying to like
listen to these podcasts and read these books to find
ways to be a little easier on myself or um
just kind of like figure out ways to minimize how
(06:01):
unmanageable I make my life by how tough I am
on myself, if that makes sense. So I've really been
loving podcasts and self help books. I think that's one
thing many people probably don't know. Another thing people don't
know about me is maybe that I'm a sensitive person.
I am a tough person, but I'm also really sensitive.
(06:23):
And I also think that I'm one of those types
of people. I'm sure somebody else can relate to this,
and if you can, god bless you, because I sometimes
feel so lone in it. But do you ever feel
like something like so minimal will happen? Like it's so minimal,
to the point where it's like probably a passing comment
from somebody else, But I take it and I like
(06:44):
replay it in my head and I think, like something
so wrong, and it's something that I've done just recently now,
and I don't know where it's coming from. But I
basically like take things and I make stories up in
my head that I think are a bigger deal than
they actually are. I never act upon them. They're all
just like things that live inside my brain that eventually
(07:04):
just passed, but I never act upon them. But it's
just like something that kind of trips me out and
trips me up. And I think that also ties into
my sensitivity because I'll like overthink things and stuff like that.
I think, yeah, just me being a sensitive person is
probably something a lot of people don't know because I
(07:25):
think on the outside, especially when you see people on
Instagram and social media and um, just like everybody puts
out their best moments or for me, sometimes I don't
put anything out at all when I'm like really dealing
with stuff internally, and then I think sometimes that comes
across as like, Oh, everything's great in their life, like
(07:48):
all what you see is just the positive because I'm
not putting out like, oh, I'm having a terrible day today. Like,
so I think that factors into like a whole bunch
of things. But I think like sensitivity tying in with
a lack of confidence sometimes is also something people don't know.
So I could say those kind of go hand in hand. Um,
But I think that's a long enough and I think
(08:10):
that's a long enough answer for that question. So moving on,
what is something you are proud of? I'm probably a
lot of things I'm proud of, Probably honestly, the thing
that I'm most proud of is the way I treat
other people. I think that would have to be my answer,
because I do feel as though I'm very like, understanding
(08:33):
and empathetic of other people. I think I'm really forgiving,
and I also think that I just I'm a kind
human and I think that goes a long way. And
I think also it goes with feelings secure with yourself
and like getting to a point in life when you
realize like that is what is the most important at
the end of the day, and you're going to feel
so much more fulfilled in life if you're kind to others.
(08:55):
It's such a waste of time and energy to be
a negative person. Uh um, So I think I have
to say that probably my main answer. Who is your
(09:22):
style icon? Mm hmm. I love fashion questions. I honestly
get a lot of inspiration from random things I see online.
But my style icon has to be huh, this is hard.
I really love how Elsa. I might bought her name
(09:44):
host cost that model. She's got amazing style. I don't
even know if that's her name, now that I said
it out loud, I think it is. She's beautiful, like
has such great style, as like such a classy vibe.
I also have to say the Olds and Twins because
their styles fantastic. Um, but yeah, maybe those two or
(10:06):
I guess three, since the whole things are two people.
Who is your role model? My role model is? I think, God,
it's hard to choose one. I think an easy answer
would obviously be my mom because I think what I
(10:29):
said earlier about something I'm proud of is being a
kind person, and I owe every inch of that to her.
She is so lovely and treats people so well and
with so much respect no matter who you are, Like,
I mean, seriously, she she's one of the kindest people.
And I actually was on FaceTime with her yesterday and
I was I was talking to her. Also, it's her
birthday to day when I'm recording this, so I have
(10:51):
a birthday. Mom, I love you. But um, I was
talking to her on FaceTime yesterday and I was like,
it's actually so funny because I think that anybody that
knows you personally, if anybody's ever met my mom, I
can guarantee they have not one bad thing to say
about her. She is like so lovely and sweet and
(11:13):
kind and compassionate and empathetic and like just the nicest woman,
like genuinely so nice. It's scary. So we were just
talking about random stuff yesterday on the phone, and I
was like, it's funny that, you know, sometimes we get
so hard on ourselves and so down on like what
people think and these perceptions and stuff, and you have
to kind of sit back and go like, Okay, well,
(11:33):
how have I impacted the people that like know me
or that have met me here and there? Like what
do they think about me? And if that response is
generally positive? And I'm going to say, of the time
is positive with my mom, Like that's what life's about,
That's what matters. Like those are the things we should
be focusing on, but instead we all get in our
heads of like, well, I want to appease everybody, and
(11:56):
I want everybody to like me, and I want everybody
to know this about me, And like that's a really
slippery slope because at the end of the day, ay,
not everybody's gonna like you. And this goes further than
anything I think. This is generally just a good thing
to always remember. Now everybody's gonna like you, not everybody's
gonna agree with you. Now everybody's going to see your
side of things. Not everybody's going to empathize or sympathize
(12:18):
with you. And that's okay because at the end of
the day, I think we feel, especially online with people's
opinions and freedom of speech and like people that can
reach you and talk to you and judge you and
they don't know you. We feel like their opinions are
so valid, and in my experience, I feel like they're
(12:39):
so valid and so heard by me that it's almost
shaped me to believe I'm a certain type of person.
And it takes a lot of like strength and maturity
sometimes to sit down and be like, no, no, no, no,
that's not correct. Like your kind, you are whatever it
is about yourself that you like, but just like being
(12:59):
a little bit nice or to ourselves. Um. And I
think that that was a total rant of my My
mom is my role model, but she is because she's
kind and I think kindness is the most important thing
in this world. I think it will never die out,
it will never get old. It's just a beautiful thing,
all right. What was your favorite YouTube video that you've made?
(13:22):
I think my favorite YouTube video I've made. Uh, this
is a really tough question. I think honestly, it has
to be the slang term series with my mom. But
there was one year we did UM. It was me,
my mom, John Stamos, and David O. Brick and it
was the four of us, and I just remember that
(13:43):
day and filming that was really fun. I don't know
if it's like the best quality produced video on my channel,
but I think in terms of sitting down and filming something,
I had like a sore stomach the next day and
sore cheeks the next day from how hard I laughed
on camera and off camera. Like that day was just
hysterical to me. But I would say my favorite videos
(14:04):
to film nowadays and to put up on YouTube are vlogs.
I don't love the idea of people knowing too much
about my personal life, but I like that I get
to choose what I'm putting out there. I like that
people love being in my life a little bit, like
I think it's so cool to share that with people
(14:25):
all over the world. And I also love like editing
those types of videos because you can really get creative
with it. As opposed to just like a sit down
makeup tutorial, it's a little bit harder to edit and
make fun but I also want to start incorporating a
lot more fashion on my channel because I think I'm
slowly starting As I sit here and like a massive
oversized T shirt, but I think I'm slowly starting to
(14:48):
figure out my style and what I really love and
what I think is in and what I think is me,
and so I would love to start producing more videos
surrounding that in a more like artistic way. I think
when I'm back home from my travels, I really want
to hone in and focus on finding a videographer. I
would say an editor too, but I love editing videos,
(15:08):
so I'll probably do that for the rest of the time,
but I do want somebody's help to like actually help
me film. How do you maintain distant friendships was a
(15:34):
question somebody asked. I think we're all very lucky because
in this generation it's quite easy. There's spacetime, there's eye Message,
there's Instagram, There's all these different things that we can
use to really feel connected to one another while we're
not there. So I think something that's amazing, even if
(15:54):
you're in different time zones or whatever it is, it's like,
let's have a meal together over face so time, like
what a great way to connect. I think also the
best types of friendships are the ones, you know, like
we don't have to speak every day or every second,
like I got you, you got me, and when we
pick up, it's like nothing ever happened, because it can
be really hard, especially if you're working a lot, or
(16:15):
you're busy, or you're just tired, or you're in a
new relationship, and it's harder to focus on those like
you'll find your balance and you'll find your swing of things.
But I think, you know, having understanding friends and relationships
and people around that are okay with that is really important.
What's your life motto? This is a really big question
(16:39):
in my opinion, and I actually think it's quite deep. Um.
I think right now my life motto is if you
don't regret, you haven't learned, and I think that goes
with everything. But I think that sometimes we have this
idea of oh, I live with no regrets. Oh I
(17:02):
I no regrets taha, Like it's become this kind of
like saying that I think is actually kind of counteractive sometimes.
And I think regret is healthy because I think that
means like something in your brain went off to be like, oh,
like that's not right. Do better learn from it? That
feeling of that's kind of like self loath or like
(17:24):
that negativity inside that feels sociary. Sometimes I actually think
can be beneficial in life because it means like you
want to change something. You don't want to feel that
way forever, you know. So I think like not regretting regrets.
I think it's okay to regret. I think that's how
you learn. I think that's how you live. I think
that's how you move on it, and it's how you grow,
(17:44):
it's how you become a better person. And I think
all of us are so hard on ourselves. And I
was listening to another podcast this morning about self confidence,
and I thought it was really interesting because the woman
on at my podcast today was talking about self confidence
and she was talking about this inner voice of like
the one that's so mean to her. And I kind
(18:08):
of was sitting there listening, like this is a self
confidence expert, is what she calls herself, And she can
sit there and admit, like, Oh, I have that like
bitch inside of me that's so mean to myself, that's
constantly telling me like, oh, you can't do this, you
can't do that whatever it is. And sorry this is
a little jump off of my regret topic, but I
just another thought. Um, I just think it's so true,
(18:32):
and it's so interesting that like we all feel so
alone sometimes within ourselves to be like so hateful and
we're so mean to ourselves and we're so so hard
on ourselves. And he it was kind of comforting to
hear like, oh, I'm not alone in that, and I'm
sure so many people listening to this as well can
relate to what I'm saying, but also knowing that, like
(18:54):
you can recognize that and and be a little easier
on yourself. And she gave a great piece of advice
which was just like reframing how you talk to yourself
a little bit, so um, just saying, you know, instead
of being so hard on myself and oh you're you're dumb,
or like you're dumb, you're this whatever, whatever, you can
(19:15):
just say Olivia, like you're doing okay today, or like, Olivia,
that wasn't your best, but like what would what would
make Olivia like kind of talk to me yourself in
a different setting. So it's easier to be a little
bit more gentle because for some reason we are ourselves
biggest bully. I don't know if that made any sense,
but made sense when I was listening to it. Um,
(19:41):
what's your favorite thing to distract you from stress? I honestly,
I don't know if I have a way to distract
me from stress. I feel like when I'm stressed, I'm
just stressed. But I think it's fine to live in
it a little bit. And then I think it's important
also to realize, like how to let go, like what's
(20:04):
a waste of energy and what's a waste of stress?
I think like sometimes we stress about such small things,
and if you think of it in the grand scheme
of life, like in two am I going to be
thinking about like what I was stressing about? I feel
like nine of the time it's probably a no. And
if it's a yes, then maybe we need to evaluate
(20:24):
that situation and see, like, Okay, how can I like
make a decision that you know I'm not going to
stress over, or how can I like aid that certain
situation because most of the time I think it's pretty
minimal and unnecessary. I'm gonna end with this question ways
(20:47):
to overcome the fear of starting a podcast? I think
if you want to start a podcast, Just start it,
And I know it's easier said than done, but I
also think now more than ever, is such an amazing
time because so many people are trying to be in
this space. What I will say though, is like, don't
start and I think this has been said forever, but like,
(21:09):
don't do stuff just for money. And I know it's
easier said than done, especially because I sit here in
a massive position of privilege where I don't have to
worry about like finances, which is obviously like a very
rare and specific situation. But I think that a lot
(21:29):
of people don't realize like the work, effort and load
that kind of it requires to be in the podcast
space or the YouTube space. I don't really know about
the other social media because I don't do it as much,
but I think just starting if it's something you're passionate about,
finding out what you want to talk about, what you love,
what you think can help others, and then just going
(21:49):
for it and doing it and teaching yourself as you
go along with it. I taught myself how to edit
all my own YouTube videos and how to film cameras
and lenses and everything like that, so if I can
do it, you can do it. It's possible, um, and
I think that we ended on that, So thank you
guys so much for listening to this podcast episode. I
hope that it helped or I don't even know what
(22:11):
I talked about for the last twenty five minutes, but
I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope everybody's having
a lovely evening or morning or afternoon. And I will
talk to you guys next time. Thanks by

little difficult to get a guest on. But I also

you guys on there for some questions to answer, and
I won't keep you for too long on this episode,
but I do want to go through and answer them
and just catch up with you guys. Oh my god.
(01:27):
Side note, craziest thing happened to me yesterday. I'm currently
in a foreign country and I was just minding my
own business driving on the road. I was trying to
get to the grocery store because there's like where I am,
it's a really really tiny town, so you have to
drive like twenty minutes outside of the town for a
real grocery store where you can buy like all your
(01:50):
stuff for the week. Because here there's only one store
and it's like a fresh produce, tiny, tiny, tiny store.
So I decide I'm going to take the car. Also,
I was so nervous to do this because everything's on
the opposite side here, so the steering wheels on the
other side of the car, and then you're also driving
on the opposite side of the road. But I worked
(02:13):

I know how to drop a car. Things were going great.
I'm on the highway and it literally sounds and feels

(07:04):
just passed, but I never act upon them. But it's
just like something that kind of trips me out and
trips me up. And I think that also ties into
my sensitivity because I'll like overthink things and stuff like that.
I think, yeah, just me being a sensitive person is
probably something a lot of people don't know because I
(07:25):
think on the outside, especially when you see people on
Instagram and social media and um, just like everybody puts
out their best moments or for me, sometimes I don't
put anything out at all when I'm like really dealing
with stuff internally, and then I think sometimes that comes
across as like, Oh, everything's great in their life, like
(07:48):
all what you see is just the positive because I'm
not putting out like, oh, I'm having a terrible day today. Like,
so I think that factors into like a whole bunch
of things. But I think like sensitivity tying in with
a lack of confidence sometimes is also something people don't know.
So I could say those kind of go hand in hand. Um,
But I think that's a long enough and I think
(08:10):
that's a long enough answer for that question. So moving on,
what is something you are proud of? I'm probably a
lot of things I'm proud of, Probably honestly, the thing
that I'm most proud of is the way I treat
other people. I think that would have to be my answer,
because I do feel as though I'm very like, understanding
(08:33):
and empathetic of other people. I think I'm really forgiving,
and I also think that I just I'm a kind
human and I think that goes a long way. And
I think also it goes with feelings secure with yourself
and like getting to a point in life when you
realize like that is what is the most important at
the end of the day, and you're going to feel
so much more fulfilled in life if you're kind to others.
(08:55):
It's such a waste of time and energy to be
a negative person. Uh um, So I think I have
to say that probably my main answer. Who is your
(09:22):
style icon? Mm hmm. I love fashion questions. I honestly
get a lot of inspiration from random things I see online.
But my style icon has to be huh, this is hard.
I really love how Elsa. I might bought her name
(09:44):
host cost that model. She's got amazing style. I don't
even know if that's her name, now that I said
it out loud, I think it is. She's beautiful, like
has such great style, as like such a classy vibe.
I also have to say the Olds and Twins because
their styles fantastic. Um, but yeah, maybe those two or
(10:06):
I guess three, since the whole things are two people.
Who is your role model? My role model is? I think, God,
it's hard to choose one. I think an easy answer
would obviously be my mom because I think what I
(10:29):
said earlier about something I'm proud of is being a
kind person, and I owe every inch of that to her.
She is so lovely and treats people so well and
with so much respect no matter who you are, Like,
I mean, seriously, she she's one of the kindest people.
And I actually was on FaceTime with her yesterday and
I was I was talking to her. Also, it's her
birthday to day when I'm recording this, so I have
(10:51):
a birthday. Mom, I love you. But um, I was
talking to her on FaceTime yesterday and I was like,
it's actually so funny because I think that anybody that
knows you personally, if anybody's ever met my mom, I
can guarantee they have not one bad thing to say
about her. She is like so lovely and sweet and
(11:13):
kind and compassionate and empathetic and like just the nicest woman,
like genuinely so nice. It's scary. So we were just
talking about random stuff yesterday on the phone, and I
was like, it's funny that, you know, sometimes we get
so hard on ourselves and so down on like what
people think and these perceptions and stuff, and you have
to kind of sit back and go like, Okay, well,
(11:33):
how have I impacted the people that like know me
or that have met me here and there? Like what
do they think about me? And if that response is
generally positive? And I'm going to say, of the time
is positive with my mom, Like that's what life's about,
That's what matters. Like those are the things we should
be focusing on, but instead we all get in our
heads of like, well, I want to appease everybody, and
(11:56):
I want everybody to like me, and I want everybody
to know this about me, And like that's a really
slippery slope because at the end of the day, ay,
not everybody's gonna like you. And this goes further than
anything I think. This is generally just a good thing
to always remember. Now everybody's gonna like you, not everybody's
gonna agree with you. Now everybody's going to see your
side of things. Not everybody's going to empathize or sympathize
(12:18):
with you. And that's okay because at the end of
the day, I think we feel, especially online with people's
opinions and freedom of speech and like people that can
reach you and talk to you and judge you and
they don't know you. We feel like their opinions are
so valid, and in my experience, I feel like they're
(12:39):
so valid and so heard by me that it's almost
shaped me to believe I'm a certain type of person.
And it takes a lot of like strength and maturity
sometimes to sit down and be like, no, no, no, no,
that's not correct. Like your kind, you are whatever it
is about yourself that you like, but just like being
(12:59):
a little bit nice or to ourselves. Um. And I
think that that was a total rant of my My
mom is my role model, but she is because she's
kind and I think kindness is the most important thing
in this world. I think it will never die out,
it will never get old. It's just a beautiful thing,
all right. What was your favorite YouTube video that you've made?
(13:22):
I think my favorite YouTube video I've made. Uh, this
is a really tough question. I think honestly, it has
to be the slang term series with my mom. But
there was one year we did UM. It was me,
my mom, John Stamos, and David O. Brick and it
was the four of us, and I just remember that
(13:43):
day and filming that was really fun. I don't know
if it's like the best quality produced video on my channel,
but I think in terms of sitting down and filming something,
I had like a sore stomach the next day and
sore cheeks the next day from how hard I laughed
on camera and off camera. Like that day was just
hysterical to me. But I would say my favorite videos
(14:04):
to film nowadays and to put up on YouTube are vlogs.
I don't love the idea of people knowing too much
about my personal life, but I like that I get
to choose what I'm putting out there. I like that
people love being in my life a little bit, like
I think it's so cool to share that with people
(14:25):
all over the world. And I also love like editing
those types of videos because you can really get creative
with it. As opposed to just like a sit down
makeup tutorial, it's a little bit harder to edit and
make fun but I also want to start incorporating a
lot more fashion on my channel because I think I'm
slowly starting As I sit here and like a massive
oversized T shirt, but I think I'm slowly starting to
(14:48):
figure out my style and what I really love and
what I think is in and what I think is me,
and so I would love to start producing more videos
surrounding that in a more like artistic way. I think
when I'm back home from my travels, I really want
to hone in and focus on finding a videographer. I
would say an editor too, but I love editing videos,
(15:08):
so I'll probably do that for the rest of the time,
but I do want somebody's help to like actually help
me film. How do you maintain distant friendships was a
(15:34):
question somebody asked. I think we're all very lucky because
in this generation it's quite easy. There's spacetime, there's eye Message,
there's Instagram, There's all these different things that we can
use to really feel connected to one another while we're
not there. So I think something that's amazing, even if
(15:54):
you're in different time zones or whatever it is, it's like,
let's have a meal together over face so time, like
what a great way to connect. I think also the
best types of friendships are the ones, you know, like
we don't have to speak every day or every second,
like I got you, you got me, and when we
pick up, it's like nothing ever happened, because it can
be really hard, especially if you're working a lot, or
(16:15):
you're busy, or you're just tired, or you're in a
new relationship, and it's harder to focus on those like
you'll find your balance and you'll find your swing of things.
But I think, you know, having understanding friends and relationships
and people around that are okay with that is really important.
What's your life motto? This is a really big question
(16:39):
in my opinion, and I actually think it's quite deep. Um.
I think right now my life motto is if you
don't regret, you haven't learned, and I think that goes
with everything. But I think that sometimes we have this
idea of oh, I live with no regrets. Oh I
(17:02):
I no regrets taha, Like it's become this kind of
like saying that I think is actually kind of counteractive sometimes.
And I think regret is healthy because I think that
means like something in your brain went off to be like, oh,
like that's not right. Do better learn from it? That
feeling of that's kind of like self loath or like
(17:24):
that negativity inside that feels sociary. Sometimes I actually think
can be beneficial in life because it means like you
want to change something. You don't want to feel that
way forever, you know. So I think like not regretting regrets.
I think it's okay to regret. I think that's how
you learn. I think that's how you live. I think
that's how you move on it, and it's how you grow,
(17:44):
it's how you become a better person. And I think
all of us are so hard on ourselves. And I
was listening to another podcast this morning about self confidence,
and I thought it was really interesting because the woman
on at my podcast today was talking about self confidence
and she was talking about this inner voice of like
the one that's so mean to her. And I kind
(18:08):
of was sitting there listening, like this is a self
confidence expert, is what she calls herself, And she can
sit there and admit, like, Oh, I have that like
bitch inside of me that's so mean to myself, that's
constantly telling me like, oh, you can't do this, you
can't do that whatever it is. And sorry this is
a little jump off of my regret topic, but I
just another thought. Um, I just think it's so true,
(18:32):
and it's so interesting that like we all feel so
alone sometimes within ourselves to be like so hateful and
we're so mean to ourselves and we're so so hard
on ourselves. And he it was kind of comforting to
hear like, oh, I'm not alone in that, and I'm
sure so many people listening to this as well can
relate to what I'm saying, but also knowing that, like
(18:54):
you can recognize that and and be a little easier
on yourself. And she gave a great piece of advice
which was just like reframing how you talk to yourself
a little bit, so um, just saying, you know, instead
of being so hard on myself and oh you're you're dumb,
or like you're dumb, you're this whatever, whatever, you can
(19:15):
just say Olivia, like you're doing okay today, or like, Olivia,
that wasn't your best, but like what would what would
make Olivia like kind of talk to me yourself in
a different setting. So it's easier to be a little
bit more gentle because for some reason we are ourselves
biggest bully. I don't know if that made any sense,
but made sense when I was listening to it. Um,
(19:41):
what's your favorite thing to distract you from stress? I honestly,
I don't know if I have a way to distract
me from stress. I feel like when I'm stressed, I'm
just stressed. But I think it's fine to live in
it a little bit. And then I think it's important
also to realize, like how to let go, like what's
(20:04):
a waste of energy and what's a waste of stress?
I think like sometimes we stress about such small things,
and if you think of it in the grand scheme
of life, like in two am I going to be
thinking about like what I was stressing about? I feel
like nine of the time it's probably a no. And
if it's a yes, then maybe we need to evaluate
(20:24):
that situation and see, like, Okay, how can I like
make a decision that you know I'm not going to
stress over, or how can I like aid that certain
situation because most of the time I think it's pretty
minimal and unnecessary. I'm gonna end with this question ways
(20:47):
to overcome the fear of starting a podcast? I think
if you want to start a podcast, Just start it,
And I know it's easier said than done, but I
also think now more than ever, is such an amazing
time because so many people are trying to be in
this space. What I will say though, is like, don't
start and I think this has been said forever, but like,
(21:09):
don't do stuff just for money. And I know it's
easier said than done, especially because I sit here in
a massive position of privilege where I don't have to
worry about like finances, which is obviously like a very
rare and specific situation. But I think that a lot
(21:29):
of people don't realize like the work, effort and load
that kind of it requires to be in the podcast
space or the YouTube space. I don't really know about
the other social media because I don't do it as much,
but I think just starting if it's something you're passionate about,
finding out what you want to talk about, what you love,
what you think can help others, and then just going
(21:49):
for it and doing it and teaching yourself as you
go along with it. I taught myself how to edit
all my own YouTube videos and how to film cameras
and lenses and everything like that, so if I can
do it, you can do it. It's possible, um, and
I think that we ended on that, So thank you
guys so much for listening to this podcast episode. I
hope that it helped or I don't even know what
(22:11):
I talked about for the last twenty five minutes, but
I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope everybody's having
a lovely evening or morning or afternoon. And I will
talk to you guys next time. Thanks by
