Meat & Monogamy
Hosted by Olivia Lara Owen, this is a space for women who have already done a lot of inner work, and are now navigating the quieter, more complex thresholds of life. The ones that don’t respond to urgency, forcing, or optimisation.
Through solo episodes and occasional conversations, Olivia explores what it means to build a life that can actually hold you. One rooted in capacity rather than intensity, devotion rather than fantasy, and truth rather than performance.
This is not a podcast about fixing yourself.
It’s about feeding yourself.
And staying.
New episodes released in rhythm, not pressure.
Meat & Monogamy
Ep 1. What Women Actually Need at Thresholds
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There are moments in adulthood when something shifts.
Not a bad week. Not temporary burnout. Not confusion you can solve with a planner.
A threshold.
In this first episode of Meat & Monogamy, Olivia explores what women actually need at these pivotal points in life, and why the instinct to speed up, force clarity, or make a decisive move often makes things worse.
This episode explores:
• What defines a true threshold
• Why forcing clarity stops working
• The difference between containment and control
• Why capacity matters more than immediate answers
• Why nourishment, not intensity, builds a life that can hold you
This podcast is for women who have already done a lot of inner work and are now navigating more complex, quieter decisions in adulthood.
If something in this episode resonates and you’re at a real threshold in your own life, you’re welcome to explore working with Olivia through a 75-minute Deep Dive.
