In this episode of The Juicy Podcast, with warmth and insight, Lola and Olivia remind listeners that even in turbulent times, we can choose growth, kindness and authenticity; walking each other home one step at a time.

They begin by reflecting on their January experiences, with Olivia's recovery from an ankle injury serving as a powerful metaphor for how our bodies guide us through uncertainty. And Lola’s encounter with a bitter cab driver becomes a striking example of how negativity seeps into our daily interactions - and how we can resist internalising it.

The conversation soon broadens to explore the collective anxiety fuelled by global events. The hosts unpack how societal narratives shape our emotions, using the idea of a “global channel” that influences individual perspectives.

Throughout the episode, Lola and Olivia stress the importance of emotional sovereignty. They ask:

• How do we protect our inner world from external chaos?
• How can we move beyond frustration to embody real change?

They explore the fine line between seeking comfort and engaging with discomfort, challenging listeners to consider whether they are merely rescuing others or truly transforming themselves.

Identity, belonging, and societal expectations also take centre stage as the hosts candidly share their experiences of feeling “different” and how embracing those differences has shaped their paths., Lola and Liv leave listeners with a final reminder:

We LOVE hearing from our listeners. So whether you want us to answer a question or to simply show us some love, YOU CAN TEXT US HERE.
