From Gymnast to Ninja Warrior: Olivia Vivian on Joy, Grit & Failing Forward
Jun 24, 2025•1 hr 28 min•Season 2Ep. 3
Episode description
Olivia Vivian is not just the first woman in the world to beat the men on Ninja Warrior, she’s also one of the funniest, most real, and inspiring humans you’ll ever meet.
In this episode of The Resource Podcast, Olivia and Becky get real about what it takes to chase big dreams, fall flat on your face (literally), and still get back up with a smile. They talk about grief, body image, public breakups, performance pressure, and finding your voice after years of being told you're too much or not enough.
With heart, humour and some very rogue trampoline fails, Olivia shares how she turned “you can’t” into “watch me.”
“You don’t win or lose, you win or learn.”
This one’s for anyone who needs a reminder that the mess is part of the magic.
