    The Version of Me I Don’t Sugarcoat Anymore - Olivia

    In this episode of The Truth Serum, Kari Jo sits down with Olivia Rogers, the woman behind Face the Facts with Liv, to talk about what it really looks like to rebuild your life after realizing you’ve lost yourself. After walking through divorce and a season of deep self-reflection, Olivia opens up about the moment her spirit got tired of pretending everything was okay. What followed was a painful but powerful process of facing hard truths...about love, people pleasing, faith, and the red flags she had been ignoring within herself. Together they talk about the courage it takes to choose peace over comfort, the reality of starting over, and why protecting your peace is not selfish, it’s necessary. This conversation is for the woman who feels like she’s quietly outgrowing the life she built and is wondering if she’s brave enough to change it. If you’ve ever felt like you were losing yourself trying to keep everything else together, this episode will remind you that it’s never too late to choose a different path.

    A Vulnerable Moment

    This episode is exactly what the title promises: a pause, a breath, and a moment of honesty. I’m sharing some of the most vulnerable pieces of my life right now: the growth that hasn’t been pretty, the changes I didn’t plan for, and the healing that only comes when you stop running from the hard parts. I open up about navigating life after divorce, releasing old versions of myself, and reaching a pivotal turning point during my time in Costa Rica, a moment that quietly shifted everything. We talk about grief and gratitude existing at the same time, learning to sit with discomfort, and allowing yourself to become someone new without apology. It’s about honoring where you are, trusting where you’re going, and letting vulnerability be part of the process. If you’re in a season of change, healing, or becoming, this one’s for you. 🤍

    When You’re Your Own Last Priority

    If you are inconsistent in taking care of yourself, your health, or your workouts, that’s a sign you are not making yourself a priority. And that hard truth matters. In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to show up for yourself — not just when it’s convenient, not just when motivation is high, but when it feels like the last thing you want to do. We’ll unpack how self-trust is built (or broken) in the smallest daily choices, why believing in yourself feels impossible some days, and how to lean on borrowed belief until your own kicks in. If you’ve been putting yourself last, this is your reminder: you can’t build the life you want if you keep ghosting the person who needs you most — you.
