This episode starts with Olivia and Ari talking about Jake Elitzer's spiritual practice from last episode that they tried on for size, asking "is it true? Is it absolutely true?" in moments of doubt. Then Ari opens up (and hyperbolizes) about being one of the older cast members in the show she's doing. Olivia and Ari agree to a fun challenge of manifesting something for each other.

Then we get into the episode with our guest, Samantha Barrios, who is so full of joy and also very strong in her faith. We discuss getting re-aligned, treating an artist's life as though it is the "actor excursion package," fear of success, death and visits from loved ones departed, almost becoming a nun(!) and so much more. Honestly, we tried to edit this so that it would be shorter but it's all gold so we couldn't.
