"I'm maybe at my happiest right now," she added. 

She credits her husband John Easterling, the founder of Amazon Herb Company as the key to her joy. "I married the perfect person," Olivia adds. 

"As well as being a wonderful man he's brilliant."

Olivia through her personal battles hopes to inspire others. "I don't really give advice, I just lead by example. I can't advise anyone, but I can talk about what I've been through. I'm leading the best life I can," she adds.
