Play Date with Olivia Wright
Naming the things you like and valuing your own experience
Olivia Wright is a former fashion founder. She now spends her time writing and caring for her kids. You can find her on Substack at Land of Oak and Roses where she shares “small, beautiful things,” and I always enjoy getting her posts. In today’s Play Date we talk about:
Why beauty matters when the world is on fire
Finding ways to be creative that are genuinely easy
Why the invisible, internal work we do matters
Getting to know yourself through low-key creative practices
How to find YOUR aesthetic (and not stress about being consistent or even explainable!)
At the end, Olivia shares a simple but powerful Things I Like exercise, and now I want to do it every day. I hope this interview will leave you feeling lighter and empowered to slow down and savor the beauty in your everyday lives.
Here’s a sneak peek of our conversation. Oh my goodness I had to hold my back from clapping! PREACH, Olivia!

Loved this conversation and relate to so much!
Heidi! Thank you so much for this conversation. I was honestly nervous to be interviewed again (it had been a few years!) but you made me feel so at ease. Loved chatting and connecting with you!
