“I don’t look at cancer like, ‘I can’t believe I went through this, it’s really unfair.’ There’s no place in my mind and my energy to think about how things are unfair,” Olivia said (via Page Six). “I just think thank God I’m one of the lucky ones.”
“I used to be really tough and I felt like any fight that came my way I would take it. I would not shy away from confrontation,” she added. “What I realized since having cancer is that, I have this armor on. I think a lot of women, we need to protect ourselves with this big heavy armor and I looked at this mountain that I had to climb and I was like, I cannot climb a mountain this high holding all this extra weight, so I had to drop it.”
Olivia was able to see her personal strength after making it through the battle.
“I’m so much stronger the more vulnerable I am and I’m able to carry that with me every day,” she said. “We really don’t know our courage and bravery until it’s put to test and now I know that I have it in me. I know I can take on anything.”
Olivia will be back on TV with the new season of her hit TV show in April.
FYI: Olivia is wearing Bevza‘s FW26 Dress With Hustka in butter.
