Fluency in feeling with lisa olivera

Written By Jennifer England

What if pain isn’t something to fix or escape—but a wise, living presence asking for our attention?

In this episode, Jennifer sits down with writer and therapist Lisa Olivera for a heartfelt conversation about relating to pain as a wise teacher, rather than an adversary. Drawing from Lisa’s personal journey—shaped by early experiences with a culture that teaches us to avoid pain—they explore:

  • The social narratives that keep us from feeling fully

  • The role of somatic practice in understanding our body’s intelligence

  • What it means to approach suffering with reverence 

  • The slow, courageous path toward collective belonging

This episode invites you to deepen your fluency with feeling —in your body, the mystery of life and one another.
