Collecting Scars
Welcome to Collecting Scars Podcast. My name is Sydney Olson- A professional parkour/freerunning athlete, a Hollywood stuntwoman, and a lover of all things spirituality, coffee, and aliens. I came to Earth to truly embody what it means to be a badass. I even have a forehead scar to prove it! On the podcast, I'll be sharing stories and ideas that will help you also bring out your inner badass. I'll be talking with inspiring people that live their best, most abundant, exciting, and beautiful lives. My goal is to become very vulnerable with you. To be honest and open so you feel like you can take on the world and be whoever you're meant to be! Thanks for listening.
