In Episode 15 of the Only OliviasWorld95 Podcast, we’re settling into peak cozy season — turtleneck on, natural-light glam, and Toronto’s first proper snowfall giving “stay inside and play video games” energy. Olivia kicks things off with a life update: errands in all-brown, childhood rage toward schools that never gave real snow days, and a full Red Dead Redemption obsession that has her spiritually identifying as a cowboy galloping through 1899.
Then we get into the heart of today’s episode: how Olivia became a plus-size model. From spending years believing beauty required shrinking, to the random outlet-mall angel who said, “you should be a plus-size model,” to slowly taking full-body photos, choosing outfits that didn’t hide her curves, losing weight the first time and feeling unstoppable, and tagging Fashion Nova before anyone knew her name — we unpack the whole trajectory.
It’s a story about online role models, refusing to wait for permission, detaching from old insecurities, and letting a little bit of healthy delusion carry you into opportunities you never thought were possible.
We talk early Cityline TV appearances, runway memories, Toronto fashion-show moments, and the mindset shift that changed everything: if negative things might happen, so can positive ones. Why not root for yourself?
For cozy background-TV vibes, Olivia shares her new must-watch: The Office Movers — a Toronto-based comedy that’s so painfully accurate it makes her laugh out loud (a rare feat). If it’s available where you live, watch it immediately.
And a listener question from Chris… yeah. We go there. A quick chat about weight, why Olivia rarely weighs herself anymore, and focusing on the journey instead of the number.
Light your candle, romanticize the snow outside, turn on something cozy in the background, and enjoy this week’s episode — full of confidence, honesty, and a reminder that being a little delusional can be your superpower.
