Who Am I
My Name is Olivia Russo, a certified health and life coach, that focuses on mind, body, and spirit connection. My passion first started with fitness. I came from a low income household and had many dreams, but little money to reach those dreams. I ran collegiate cross country and track to fund my college education and support myself. I’ve became incredibly resourceful due to the lack of resources I had at my disposal in my youth.
Although I grew resilience in athletics by starting out as an underdog and putting in hours of training to improve my performance, I saw my mental health was declining. My athletic performance was improving, but I was neglecting other parts of myself. I managed to find control in my life through exercise regimes and nutrition, but yet I was still falling a part mentally.
I came to a point where I needed to ask for help. Four years ago marks the time I started my first therapy session. Weekly hourly therapy sessions had me in tears, more of myself being stripped away so that I could renew.
Although I incorporated my physical health and mental health as priorities of focus in my life; life’s adversity still continued. I needed something bigger than myself to give me hope and guidance through the times that were uncertain and the times that I had no control or answers for.
I realized all three aspects of health: physical, mental, and spiritual required balance and energy. I have spent hours in therapy and coaching sessions. I’ve spent hours working on my cross fit and overall athletic performance. And I’ve spent hours practicing staying focused on that which is bigger than me to give me hope through adversity. The light that can appear to be drained from your being is not gone, but is waiting to be tapped into again. I want to share my passion with you dear reader. As I heal and share my light with you, you too will share your light with others; and that is my biggest goal in life. The goal being to share resiliency, courage, strength, empowerment, love, community, and hope with those around me.
My goal is for you to transform into the version of yourself that is true and authentic to who you are. I have the tools for you to tap into your inner warrior, where strength and empowerment lie so that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to <3
