Broad Ideas with Rachel Bilson & Olivia Allen
Broad Ideas with Rachel Bilson & Olivia Allen

On Broad Ideas, Rachel Bilson is joined by long-time best friend Olivia Allen to talk about sex, mental health, their belief (or lack of) in ghosts, and so much more. They’ll be joined by old friends, young friends, and some friends they haven’t met yet to have fun, casual conversations about the same kind of broad topics you'd find yourself discussing with your girlfriends.

Enjoy this episode of Olivia on The Mother Daze with Sarah Wright Olsen & Teresa Palmer This week we’re joined by our darling friend Olivia Allen; actress, producer, writer, and one half of the bestie duo behind The Broad Ideas pod with Rachel Bilson. This is a come-back-to-yourself kind of episode. We’re talking full body yeses vs obligation energy, and learning how to trust what actually feels aligned. We dive into returning to your spiritual practices in seasons of chaos, plus human design, the teachings of Esther Hicks, signs from the universe, and intuition vs fear. We also touch on motherhood; having our hearts outside our bodies, how to reconcile that, and how to navigate it when intrusive thoughts start to creep in. There are also some strange (and slightly morbid) signs from the universe we attempt to unpack… plus a very cheeky journal throwback involving a certain list that has us questioning some teenage choices. Plus… we tease something we’re so excited about!! a new long-term partnership with Rachel and Olivia. Welcome to the first of many Broad Daze episodes.
