Olivia Scott is a dear friend of mine, and the founder and creative force behind The Raw Kitchen, a fledgling raw foods business which she sold earlier this year.
She first started her “cake shop” when she was 21 and studying Nutrition at Wellpark College. She started out by making cakes at home and posting them on Instagram. A vegan at that time, she noticed a gap in the market that no-one was doing raw food in a young and innovative way.
She saw an opportunity to start a market stall, which turned into a shop, and another shop, and eventually Olivia built The Raw Kitchen up to 4 cafe’s over 6 years (at different times).
Olivia and I first met in Bali on a retreat in May 2017, so it was incredible to be back there reconnecting in Canggu and celebrating our individual evolutions. In this episode we talk about so many things, from Olivia starting her business, to the very different (but related) path that she’s on now and how that is still unfolding.
We also discuss:
- Her transformational month in India
- Why she decided to train as a Reiki healer
- How she’s meshing her business and spiritual sides
- How meditation helped her start her business at such a young age, and the different forms that meditation can take
- The strength of her personal spiritual practice in keeping her grounded throughout the turbulent times in her business
- The importance of listening to the ‘pings’
- We spoke about Olivia being in her Saturn Return (learn about your Saturn Return here.)
We hope you enjoy this episode! If you do, I’d love if you would share it with a friend and leave a review.
