Welcome to Live Magically with Dr. Ashley Olivine! This is my blog, online video channel, and podcast in one. It’s the same content on all three platforms. If you catch one you catch them all. I’m so glad you’re here and am thrilled to journey with you.

Hello!

Hello, hello! This is the first episode and edition of Live Magically. I’m honored to be with you and can’t wait to share all things health, wellness, life, and magic.

Live Magically Topics

We’ll cover health (physical and mental/emotional), career and life purpose, parenting, and general life stuff so you can live not just well, but magically. My primary audience is women and mothers. We will be talking about things from that perspective. There will be specific women’s health content and mom life content. Also, there will be content to address the unique challenges women and mothers face in modern society, plus what we can do when we face those challenges.

A lot of content will also apply to men, especially men who have women in their lives whom they want to better understand. Next, child development stuff – there will be content about child development because living magically is also about creating a strong foundation for our kids and future generations. I’m a military spouse, so naturally there will be military family life stuff. A lot of that content can be applied to non-military life, especially for those who have moved to a new location, don’t have a stable, local support network, are facing big challenges, or feel lonely.

What you can expect here:

  • Physical health
  • Mental/emotional health
  • Career and life purpose
  • Parenting
  • Life
  • Women and mothers
  • Men are welcome, too!
  • Child development
  • Military life

FYI I don’t shy away from the tough topics and I like to keep things real and genuine. Yes, I will even explain what I mean about living magically. We’re taking it to another level from the foundation up. Before we dive in with all the things, I want to share a bit of background information on how Live Magically came to be.

Where It Started

My career, health, and life paths have twisted and turned a lot along the way. I have experienced and learned a ton, partially because challenges have popped up (as they do). I have always been determined to find ways to live well, even thrive, no matter what. Also, I have a tendency to research heavily, come up with new concepts, and go for what I believe, even when the concepts are unconventional. This led me to discover a different way to live life. More on my personal story next time.

Let’s just say I refuse to go with the mainstream way when it isn’t aligned with what works for me. So, I have built my career, health decisions, and life around what does work for me. I have chosen to live magically. Further, I support my clients as they find and do what works best for them. I’m humbled, really, to come to the realization that what I have to offer is of great value to my growing community. The idea of me sharing my messages in a much bigger way was first thrown around a few years ago. What I’m saying is that this has been a long time coming and I’m finally embracing the calling.

It started as a little seedling of a “hey, maybe it would be cool” thought. Then it grew into a deep, burning knowing that I just had to make happen. There’s a list of people who have been nudging me, so thank you all for your neverending support and belief in me.

Maybe you can relate. Is there anything you have felt deep inside? Maybe the time for you is now, and maybe it’s still building. Either way, we’re on this journey together.

Why we are here:

  • Learn to Live Magically!
  • Get needed information
  • Support along the way
  • What works for YOU
    • Videos
    • Podcast
    • Blog

Anyway, messages have been steadily flowing into my inboxes on all the platforms. People are asking me for help as they take control of their health, careers, family dynamics, and lives. I have information that can help, but I simply can’t keep up. There are too many unread messages, and my schedule can only fit so many clients. So sorry to those of you who have not yet received a reply. I see you, and I am on it – delayed as it may be. You need answers, and you’re not the only one. This information needs to be available to everyone. Let’s all live magically. I’m going to provide the information for you, right here. That’s where it started, and that’s where it’s going.

The same content will be released on all three platforms, the new Live Magically blog, online video channel, and podcast. You can access it however it works best for you. As you can see, I’m doing whatever I can to break down the barriers to vital wellness information so you can know what to do to live better. It’s so, so needed, and I’m all in.

Live Magically: 7 Areas of Wellbeing

So, what does it mean to Live Magically? What are we going to talk about? Glad you asked!

I have organized well-being into areas to Live Magically. There are many different takes on this type of thing. None of the existing combinations work for me because none of them include everything that I need in the way I need it. Leave it to my public health background to be extra intrigued, and my personality to crave a new version.

My organization of the components of well-being includes seven areas. Three of them are doubles, meaning they are sort of two but we are considering them combined. As we journey together, we will learn about, evaluate, and figure out how to optimize them.

The seven areas of well-being (not over-analyzing the order) to Live Magically are:

  1. Nutrition – fueling intentionally to serve the body, mind, and life
  2. Physical movement – which can be exercise or natural body movements
  3. Relaxation & sleep – they go together, and stress relief is a huge theme here
  4. Relationships – including family, friends, partner, kids, self, and anyone else in life
  5. Brain & energy – this can be mental/emotional health, cognitive function, and it gets a bit woo with energy
  6. Environment – including the physical environments at home, work, and other places, along with any emotional and energetic environments like being surrounded by negativity vs. positivity
  7. Purpose & beliefs – this can be a meaningful career, volunteering, family or community roles, and a set of core values or beliefs that may or may not be spiritual in nature

I promise we’re going to talk a lot about these seven areas and how to optimize them. All of them are important, and they are integrated, and all of them are important. Some of the next blog posts, videos, and podcasts will be devoted to explaining each one individually. I’ll even provide some takeaways so you can start implementing little things (or big, if you choose) to improve your health and life.

Life Cohesion to Live Magically

To me, a magical life is having life cohesion. Let’s get all areas to thrive together. Focusing on one does not have to sacrifice others. The details are unique to everyone, and I’ll help you optimize and find what works for you. Focusing on improving one area shouldn’t work against another. Instead, improving one should benefit the others. The combination of all areas working well together is exponentially stronger than all the separate areas added up. That’s living magically.

That’s the first episode and edition of Live Magically. Thank you so much for joining me!
