Welcome to the juiciest conversations in wellness with Olivia Amitrano, founder of Organic Olivia. “What’s The Juice” is a podcast as multifaceted as its listeners — a fierce community on a courageous path of self improvement, learning, and healing. Here we share conversations that bridge traditional wisdom and modern science, offering a balance of tangible advice and perspective-shifting philosophies that will optimize your health and change the way you see the world.
One week we’ll spill the (herbal) tea on functional medicine for hormone imbalance, while the next we’ll dive deep into psychedelic assisted therapy, codependency and learning how to say no.
Olivia is a clinical herbalist, formulator, entrepreneur, and, most notably, an educator. Each episode is an opportunity to synthesize her education in herbalism, psychology, and a lifetime of health issues into actionable tips on how to not only heal but thrive. Interviews with doctors, therapists, holistic practitioners, astrologers, artists, and storytellers are brimming with raw, human moments and empowering information. Candid and ever curious, Olivia is on a mission to understand the human condition and share what she learns along the way. Above all, her goal is to connect you with the paradigms, practitioners and teachers you can rely on to help get you to the next level. Peeling back the layers isn’t always pretty, but the juice is worth the squeeze.

S5E6 How to Overcome Codependency, Fear of Conflict & Discover Your Wise ‘Inner Mother’ | Krista Williams
Do you notice the same patterns keep coming up with your partner or friendships? Do you find yourself afraid of conflict – avoiding hard, but necessary conversations? Are you struggling with creating the space to feel your emotions instead of numbing them? Krista Williams is a coach, podcast host, and close friend who shares how the “mother wound” shows up in our social dynamics and the way we feel safe in the world, why codependency extends far beyond our partner, and the impact of Internal Family Systems (IFS) also known as ‘parts work’ on getting in touch with your inner mother.
HERE’S THE JUICE:
What the “mother wound” is and how it is crucial for developing female friendships & feeling safe in the world
Why codependency stems from a desire for safety, stability, and connection in intimate relationships
How using internal family systems (IFS) can help us hear our true “inner mother” who has acceptance for all parts of us
How to recognize your inner voices like the critic, perfectionist, child, and rebel
The challenges of adjusting to different versions of yourself, especially as we change and grow in the context of long term relationships
Exactly how to create space to feel your emotions and the questions to ask yourself to start processing them
The power of curiosity & asking questions in supporting your friends to come to their OWN conclusions, instead of going into fixer mode
How a darkness retreat taught Krista how to self regulate and process her emotions for the first time

Finally!!!
So happy I found a place where I can learn and start a new journey to combat PCOS and thyroid issues. Thank you so much for providing a place to start and sharing all this amazing information. 🥹🫶🏼
HMO Episode
Which episode is the one about HMO and formula for babies? I can’t find it.
This podcast used to be my favorite
With every season, it's losing what made it so special. The information gets less and less straightforward and easily applicable for everyday use, and at the same time, feels completely scripted. The advice and services being marketed become less and less accessible, and the facade of sharing valuable information has fully melted away leaving an incredibly gimmicky, judgy mess where Olivia gets to flex her connections and lifestyle. I really thought the reduction in production and fluff was goin to bring this back and I'm super disappointed to find that so far that is not the case at all. I'm still hoping for the day we get back season 1 energy. Full of love for herbs, conversation that was welcoming, soothing, explorative and immediately applicable without leaving the listener feeling like they're doing life wrong. All in all, if you want to be marketed to for an hour, this has become a great place to get that. The fact that she's managed to achieve that while not taking outside sponsorships (something I do deeply respect) is wildly confusing. Hoping for the day that's not the case, and as much as I truly want to see that, I'm not holding my breath.
