Welcome to the first episode of The Rad Livin! The Rad Livin is a podcast dedicated to helping you to overcome fear, be yourself, and do what you love. Hosted by Olivia O’Connor, we have conversations with guests who are pursuing their own path from founders, authors, creatives, actors, wellness leaders, and relationship experts. This is a space for you to feel free, be supported, and connect with the dreams that are in your heart.
Have you ever felt the pull to go somewhere and do something that feels so authentic to your heart? Author & Entrepreneur Riley Costello joins Olivia in today’s episode to share about her journey of taking risks, writing her best-selling book Waiting at Haydens, and creating a deep belief in herself that allows her to go for dreams that may be different from the world around her. She is passionate about following her own unique path in life and in love, and encourages others to do the same.
