choose POWER.

When I teach box + flow I always say , Youre not in pain - Youre in power
Shift your perspective Flow thru the fight. Your. Energy, Your experience, CHOOSE Power.
Box + flow is masochistic. It’s purgatory for 35 minutes. ALL PAIN If that’s how you want to see it Or its POWER, not fight but DANCE Not Dark but Light Its invigorating Not depleting Its just You. And Your perspective. Its life. Fight or flow. Your choice.

A man asked me recently – Q: why the sexy photos?
A: Self Celebration! I am hot.

You are what you tell yourself. Old Olivia, in pain - not in power would have feared judgment, made excuses, reverted. Not today. Today I use my tools, my confidence, to fuel me. Rooted in heart, Not ego. I don’t seek validation or acceptance from photos or other people, because I don’t THINK I am, I know I am – worthy. I stopped seeking out + started looking in, because I embraced my FIGHT. And shifted my perspective.
I am a woman who started a boxing concept -- a fight club But make it sexy – to allow people to FEEL their power, And their pain, Their resistance And their ease To recognize their fight --- And let it go, To feel their flow. I started boxing Because it forced me to feel, That feeling – that pain, became POWER, I recognized my strength and my weakness, , On my bag – on my mat – in my body, in my life, I found my power, I find my power, everyday. And with that strength, I empower others to find their own.
No one can give you POWER. But people sure can take it, if you let them.
A necessary gentle reminder, From me to me and to you, This is your power.
RESERVE your energy for what deserves your energy.

We are HUMAN and we are all capable of flow. If we are willing to see what we’re hiding from. As a woman, I don’t use my power to fuel angry. I use it in my favor. I opened box + flow just after Hillary lost the election and the country turned HE Hating. But I would NEVER own a Girls fight club (or be part of a womens social club). A strong woman doesn’t have to be angry. Power is confidence, not ego, Power is heart. I use my femininity as a tool, as a gift. Not to preach from pain but to stand in power.

My heart is wide open. I don’t shield emotion, censor my words, or hide myself. I am me. Body, Mind, Heart. Messy is sexy. The Raw. The real. No shame. I share my pain and my power Because it is thru PAIN that I found my power Thru FIGHT that I found my flow. AND i am proud. I choose strength NOT as a shield, but as a cape -- A cape so big I want to hug everyone in my power To lift others higher. But sometimes my hugs absorb the pain, and release my power. Not in life – but in love, Let me explain.

I have a habit – in romance - of giving POWER to those in PAIN. And in return, I take on their pain, because I see their POWER, their heart – And I LOVE their power. Powerful men. The ones that shield their hearts behind their egos, but have hearts SO big their afraid to show them, So they hide their pain BEHIND their power. And it lasts a very short while I realize that I am absorbing their PAIN and they are taking on my POWER, Funny how that happens.

Every moment is a choice – confident or insecure, pain or power, free or burdened - holding on your letting go – fight or flow. When you allow others to bring you pain, you release your power.
RESERVE YOUR ENERGY FOR WHAT deserves your energy.
Are you in Pain or are you in POWER?
