What Trauma Does to the Body and How to Heal It | Olivia Young
About this episode
Olivia Young discusses her journey of healing from trauma through fitness and spiritual practices.
Ryan Alford and Chris Hansen talk with Olivia Young, founder of Live Young and Box + Flow, about what it means to come back to yourself after years of survival mode. Olivia shares her story of growing up disconnected from parts of herself, building a fitness business from instinct and grit, and eventually finding deeper healing through plant medicine, somatic work, and spiritual practice. The episode explores the relationship between trauma and the body, why some people become fighters long before they understand what they are fighting, and how movement can reveal patterns that talk therapy alone may not access. Ryan helps frame Olivia’s story in a way that makes it approachable, while Chris adds thoughtful perspective around balance, performance, and what happens when hustle becomes self-protection. They also discuss Live Young, Box + Flow, masculine and feminine energy, self-trust, and why Olivia now sees love as the foundation of real healing. The result is a vulnerable and expansive conversation that blends wellness, spirituality, embodiment, and emotional truth.
