THE ONE QUESTION YOU NEED TO ASK YOURSELF:

Really

how are you,

LIVING YOUR TRUTH

ONE ANSWER AT THE TIME.

Forget hustle harder. Forget a mandatory 5 a.m. wake-up. Forget outlining your life plan in six-month, one-year, and five-year spans.

​It's no surprise we are exhausted...

Before we’re even fully awake, we start scrolling through everyone else’s opinions and ideas and solutions...

​Our news feeds, our Facebook page, our Instagram stories. We crowd-source our life to push us toward something else, to distract us, to lose those 3am thoughts in the comforting chaos of the latest craze. We set goals we think we’re supposed to, we buy the bestselling planner, and we create the resolutions that sound nice to (and for) everyone else.

But this time it’s going to be different. This time, you’re going to hear your voice - not your best friend’s, not your mother’s, and not that one girl’s on Instagram. (Yeah, that includes me.)

You ready?
You're ready.

THIS IS WHAT WE ARE ABOUT

if you're wondering

Who is this Book For?

Since I’ve been in the thick of this book for longer and deeper than anyone else, I think I can speak to this QUITE CONFIDENTLY: 

The book is for you.

If you're looking for ways to protect your peace, this book is for you.


If you want to know what it's like to pursue a passionate life without spiraling into making your whole life about your career, this book is for you.


If you have ever felt like fear was your greatest obstacle to living out a vision you have for yourself and your future, this book is for you.


If you've been wondering when any of the money and success will come and if it will be half as satisfying as they promise, this book is for you.

If you're looking for ways to protect your peace, this book is for you.

Book and Coffee
To put it simply, this book is for the one who is ready to live a life outside the tired cliche of “having it all.”

LIVING YOUR TRUTH

ONE ANSWER AT THE TIME.

If you’re ready to rewrite the parts of your life that are inauthentic so that you can move forward in confidence, it’s time to ask yourself the question you’ve been avoiding.

IS FOR YOU

how are you, really?

I'm Olivia Smith

hey there!

Over a decade ago, I left my corporate job, bought a camera on Craigslist for $300, and started my own business as a wedding photographer. From that single investment in myself, I built a successful company, a thriving podcast, and a beautiful brand.

But my driving force has never been about working harder/smarter/faster/better. Instead, I’ve learned to ask myself better, clearer questions about what I want from life and live out those answers confidently.

And you know what? This simple philosophy works. When I listen to and trust my gut, my life gets better. 

After educating thousands of women across the globe, I’ve seen the same things come up over and over for all of us: self-doubt, imposter syndrome, unfulfilled dreams, fears and anxieties, and a deep, audible cry to have a meaningful life and legacy. This book is my answer to all of those question marks.
 

I wrote How Are You, Really? as a place for me to meet with my reader at our very own starting line — or restarting line. Let’s turn down the noise of the world and go back to the heart of it all… 

How are you? Who are you? And what do you want to do about it?
