"I've been thinking about divorce for months, but I haven't told a single person. Does that mean I'm not actually serious about it?" In this Hey Olivia listener letter episode, Olivia answers a question so many people carry silently — and makes the case that staying quiet doesn't mean you're not serious. If anything, it might mean the opposite.Olivia covers:Why silence is not the same thing as ambivalenceWhy processing privately first is often the safest, smartest way to approach a life-changing decisionWhy months of quiet thinking is actually fast, not slow, for something this bigWhy telling one person doesn't have to be a "starting gun" for anythingWhy a thought that won't go away is usually strong evidence it's real — not evidence that it isn'tPermission to move at your own pace, on your own timeline, with no outside benchmark to meet"The thoughts that don't go away are usually the ones trying to tell you something true."Want somewhere to say it out loud for the very first time, without it being a starting gun for anything?
