"You're Going to Die An Artist" - How One Reading Helped Me Remember My Gifts & Pursue Music with Nikki Novo

Ep 139. Three years ago, I felt completely lost. I was paralyzed by this feeling that my life no longer matched my purpose — like I needed to step back, stop the ship, and change course, even though nothing was “wrong.” During my yearly birthday reading with master intuitive Nikki Novo, she told me that my soul was renegotiating its contract and was ready to bring some deeper medicine to the world. “For some reason I’m seeing you at the end of your life… and you’re going to die being known as an artist.” As an herbalist, I was confused. I thought the holistic health world and business was my calling. I thought I already created my “thing.” But what if that was a chapter, one way to share, but not even scratching the surface of my gifts? For those years, I sat through my grueling death and rebirth, holding onto her words. Finally, my art came. I painted for 9 months straight, then woke up one day, decided to finally own my true gifts, and started writing music. Today, I have completed writing and recording my first album, prepping for release later this year. In this episode, I sit down with the woman who always sees my life coming before I do. Her highly accurate predictions have hinted for years about my journey with music and so much more. We dive into the behind-the-scenes of her readings and the importance of creating rituals around creativity. Nikki shares her story of telling her family about her gift and moving from a place of generational survival to creativity. If you, like me, feel you are ready to step into your natural born gifts but don’t know how to identify or share them, this one is for you!    HERE'S THE JUICE:   Why the relationship between our inner creative and our inner manager is vital to allowing the space for us to create – oftentimes, a certain level of safety is needed before we can make art Identifying your natural born gifts and the importance of respecting them for them to grow  The deep power of rituals around creating art and identifying a practice for yourself to trust that you will be able to tune into your creativity when you want to The profound importance of seeing gifts in others and the understanding that for a gift to turn into a talent it needs to be valued - why you only need one person to see your gift and hold that higher vision for it Walking the line between sharing too much in readings and the importance of not changing our path – What Nikki feels a reading should be used for   Connect with Olivia: Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel  To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.   Connect with Nikki: Follow Nikki on Instagram  Follow Nikki on YouTube  Nikki's website  Nikkis Courses   Connect with What’s The Juice: Follow What’s The Juice  Leave us a voicemail  Email us: Whatsthejuice@organicolivia.com Connect with Olivia: Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia’s personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTok Read Olivia’s blog posts

How to Turn Your Daily “Routines” into Intentional Rituals That Can Change Your Life

Ep 137 Have you ever wished you could curate more magic into your daily life? Building a routine is so important but how do we take our routines a step further to ritualize the mundane? We’re all guilty of rushing through our days to maximize productivity, yet slowing wayyyy down allows us to find meaning in the in-between moments. In this episode, I’m taking you through some of the special daily & seasonal rituals that have helped me mark important moments in time, incorporate prayer and mindfulness to really understand what’s happening in my life, and shifted my mindset to see the beauty of what is in front of me. We think that the impactful moments in life have to all be large but the real moments are as small as appreciating warm socks, climbing into a made bed, or gentle movement. Turning an everyday task into something sacred can be the first step to shifting our minds to a state of gratitude. Through developing a ritual around daily and seasonal practices we can nurture a deeper relationship with ourselves, and our ancestors to make our day-to-day life just a little bit sweeter.   HERE'S THE JUICE: Why we need to understand the difference between routine and ritual & how to use presence to transform everyday tasks Olivia's entire morning regimen and the science behind each element How to create sacred space through simple practices like phone-free walks  The transformative power of the Jupiter Kazemi weekend and how it changed her approach to play How to bring ritual into herbalism and plants and the importance of maintaining an altar space for ancestral connection The real reason  slowing down will deeply change your relationship with daily tasks and the power of listening to signs and synchronicities in everyday life The subtle art of noticing in order to receive guidance from the world around you   Connect with Olivia: Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel  To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.   Connect with What’s The Juice: Follow What’s The Juice  Leave us a voicemail  Email us: Whatsthejuice@organicolivia.com   Connect with Olivia: Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia’s personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTok Read Olivia’s blog posts

How to Build Your Self Worth By Meeting Your “Inner Mother”: Reparenting & Parts Work 101

Ep. 135 Do you feel like there’s often a rebellious, childlike part of you calling the shots despite your best efforts to take action aligned with your goals? Does she procrastinate to the point of self-sabotage, or go for the box of cookies when you know a solid meal is what you need? Does this rebellion come out when you’re working to an extreme, being especially hard on yourself or tying your worth solely to your productivity? This is where “reparenting” ourselves comes in: the part of adulthood where we realize it’s our job to be our own parent, but we have no idea where to start when a parent was also unkind to themselves or not in touch with their own worth and needs. Over the last four years, I've slowly learned how to answer the question, "what do I need right now?" — sometimes it’s good old discipline, other times it’s connection or rest. I found that I got to recreate my own “inner mother” who was capable of being honest and curious enough to make the call from a place of trust and self knowing,  but it wasn’t easy to get there. I'm walking you through every step I had to go through to move from self-criticism to self-parenting. HERE'S THE JUICE: Could letting go of perfectionism and competition help us rediscover joy and authentic self-expression? How to shift away from productivity-based self-worth to intrinsic self-worth & why treating yourself with kindness can be used as a tool to  build self-trust over time  Practical steps for developing your inner mother voice through accessible day-to-day actions such as unstructured play to explore creativity How to self-regulate and break the cycles of self-avoidance we might have formed in our childhood  Ways to recognize when your inner child is running the show and possibly hindering your day to day without us even realizing it    TIMESTAMPS: Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel  To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.   Connect with What’s The Juice: Follow What’s The Juice  Leave us a voicemail  Email us: Whatsthejuice@organicolivia.com Connect with Olivia: Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia’s personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTok Read Olivia’s blog posts

My Journey With Cannabis & How I Quit: Overcoming Codependency & Finding Safety Within Myself

Ep 133. In today's solo episode, I'm breaking down how I went from relying on cannabis daily for just shy of 10 years, to giving it up almost entirely. I'm discussing the two questions I had to ask myself to start this journey: who am I when everything else is stripped away (and what am I willing to do to meet her), and who am I when I let the pain I’m avoiding change me? I’ll be sharing the pros and cons – including the way this plant initially supported me, the confusion between its role in stress relief and helping us put off changing stressful conditions, tools I used during the quitting period, Traditional Chinese Medicine's view of habitual use, why this plant helps us to access our creativity, and how to believe that you can still be creative without it. Lastly, I'm sharing my relationship with the plant today and whether or not it still has a place in my life.      HERE'S THE JUICE Olivia's personal journey with cannabis from day one through her decade-long reliance, all the way to making her decision to quit How the nature of cannabis is dissociative, which can be beneficial for certain conditions with a fine line of becoming maladaptive Why a desire to use cannabis or any other substance is really your nervous system seeking safety and how to have immense compassion for yourself How cannabis can become a crutch for socializing and connecting with people Traditional Chinese Medicine’s interesting take on cannabis use Olivia’s top tools for quitting cannabis and how to navigate withdrawal symptoms  Why your “addictive personality” may actually be an element of your giftedness     Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel  To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.   Connect with What’s The Juice: Follow What’s The Juice  Leave us a voicemail  Email us: Whatsthejuice@organicolivia.com   Connect with Oliva:  Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia’s personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTok Read Olivia’s blog posts

Why I Don’t Fear Friendship Breakups Anymore & How to Know When to Stay, When to Go

Ep 132. Why are friendship breakups even more dramatic than romantic ones, and how might they teach us about deeper patterns of behavior we may need to break? In this solo episode, I share my experience of losing close friendships, as well as how I’ve maintained and nurtured long-term, healthy relationships. I'm breaking down the #1 sign I look for in myself and others to know if there is capacity to be a “good friend,” why we often enter dynamics that recreate the one we shared with our mother until the dynamic becomes conscious, and why sometimes it “has to be dramatic” in order for the pattern to be witnessed and broken. Whether you're currently struggling with friendships or looking to deepen your existing relationships, I hope this episode will make you feel a whole lot less messy – and a lot more understood.    HERE'S THE JUICE The number 1 sign of a healthy friendship How to have both compassion & high standards for the relationships in your life How to know if it’s just a mistake, or a repeated pattern of behavior How to avoid friendship breakups in the future by looking for red flags in your OWN behavior, not theirs, when you’re around them The importance of personal responsibility and how to develop this lens in conflict How to grow together in a long term friendship without growing apart How to create a relationship with yourself first to truly enjoy connection, rather than “fulfill a need”  The ways childhood wounds and "mother wounds" shape our friendship patterns  Why it's okay to be "choosy" about who you let into your inner circle Why loneliness can actually be an unexpected medicine      Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel  To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.   Connect with What’s The Juice: Follow What’s The Juice  Leave us a voicemail  Email us: Whatsthejuice@organicolivia.com   Connect with Oliva:  Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia’s personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTok Read Olivia’s blog posts
