A gymnast who was told she was too tall. An Olympian labeled too old. A Ninja Warrior who shattered expectations and outperformed every man on the course. Olivia Vivian has made a career out of rewriting the rules. From surviving a life-threatening birth condition to becoming a seven-time national gymnastics champion and Beijing 2008 Olympian, Olivia’s journey is anything but ordinary. In this candid conversation with Amber Daines, Olivia shares what it takes to defy limitations, rebound from personal loss and injury, and thrive in the unknown. With stories of heartbreak, hilarious honesty, and heroic comebacks—including her record-breaking run on Australian Ninja Warrior—Olivia reminds us that resilience isn’t just a trait, it’s a choice. Now a motivational speaker, coach, and mentor, Olivia reflects on her evolving second act and why finding your “why” is essential when navigating change. Whether you’re facing a career pivot or personal challenge, this episode offers the motivation to keep going—and go further than you ever thought possible.
