About Olivia
I have been a student and practitioner of New Thought and Metaphysics for over thirty years. These teachings changed my life, helped me make sense of the many challenges I faced, and helped me heal.
- My parents separated when I was six years old, and my father was basically absent from my life after that. I describe their relationship as “The War of the Roses.” The worst part was that I was a pawn in their war. This experience inspired the writing of For the Love of My Father: A Spiritual Guide for Women Healing from the Absence of a Father in the Age of Spiritual Evolution.
- I was involved in the Jehovah’s Witness religion for most of my childhood. But, at the same time I attended Catholic Schools and was also involved with the Catholic and Baptist religions.
- My mother was an amazing woman in many ways and ahead of her time. Yet, the failure of her relationship with my father ruled her life and made mine difficult.
- I married at twenty-one and was divorced at thirty. This event was the thing that got me wondering about everything that had happened. Divorce was followed by being a single parent, which was one of the most difficult challenges I faced.
- After the divorce and becoming a real adult, I began to see what was missing, and how it made intimate relationships challenging.
- Finally, although I studied and have a good education, for many years, I was not fulfilled with my work. This sent me on an inward journey. That journey as an attorney, a professional woman, and a single-parent inspired Answers from Within—A Spiritual Guide for Work Finding Answers to Work Life Issues.
Ultimately, I learned we are all here on spaceship Earth learning lessons. As a result, I’ve coined the term Planet Earth University ™. The lessons are intended to help us grow into our true identity as spiritual beings.

It took me decades to break free from the results of the challenges I faced in my childhood. Now, I have accepted that as difficult and ugly as the challenges were, they served to help me become the person I am today. It is not always easy to accept, but as I say often, I wouldn’t change anything if these experiences were what was required to make me the person I am today.
The challenges sent me in search of answers about everything, including the meaning and purpose of life. They ultimately led me to understand the importance of forgiveness in liberating myself from the weight of the past. They also led me to understand I am a spiritual being, always connected to my spiritual identity, here to learn lessons while I am here on the planet.
I want to assure you there is a way to heal from your life challenges. Whether, like me, you suffered as a result of the absence of your father or any of the other millions of challenges we can face as humans on the planet, my journey is a testament to the fact that you can overcome your trials and change your life.
Love,
Olivia
