Episode Details

There are some experiences that force you to grow up long before you should have to.

In this episode, Olivia sits down with Adi Tanner to talk about growing up with a mother struggling with addiction, losing contact with her for ten years, and the emotional journey of reconnecting after a decade apart.

Together, they explore what forgiveness really looks like, how to set healthy boundaries without closing your heart, and why healing doesn't mean pretending the past never happened. Adi shares the mindset that helped her refuse to become a victim of her circumstances, break unhealthy cycles, and choose a different future for herself.

Whether you're navigating family relationships, learning to forgive someone who hurt you, or trying to move forward without letting your past define you, this conversation is a powerful reminder that your story doesn't have to determine your future.

There's power in boundaries. There's power in second chances.
