Episode Title: Choosing Yourself When No One Else Did with Racy Oliva

In this raw and deeply moving episode of Anyway, Moving Forward, Libni sits down with the radiant and resilient Racy Oliva — a freelance content creator, commercial model, and quiet warrior who’s walked through more than most at just 25.

From growing up without her parents…

To being forced to choose strength at a young age…

To walking away from pain in search of peace…

This conversation is a reminder that you are allowed to become someone your younger self needed. And Racy did just that with grace, grit, and the kind of softness that comes from doing the hard work to heal.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Growing up without parental love and how that shapes your emotional foundation

• Leaving home at 17 and choosing self-reliance over survival

• The pain of physical and emotional abuse, and how she moved through it

• Why surrendering to the process doesn’t mean giving up. It means trusting yourself

• Racy’s inner drive to build a family filled with love, even if she never received it herself

• What she’d say to her father if he were listening today

• The mindset that carried her from grief to grounded confidence

• Why healing doesn’t always look like perfection. It looks like choosing yourself every day
