About This Video

In this short introduction video, Olivia introduces Dare to Be Aware, a Delight Station series about learning what our bodies need to feel their best.

Olivia explains that our bodies are like puzzles with many pieces that need to be in the right spots for us to stay healthy. Each episode of Dare to Be Aware focuses on one piece of that puzzle.

The introduction also reminds participants that they do not need to watch every episode at once. They can take their time and learn gradually as the series explores different parts of body awareness, health, and self-care.

This video gives participants a gentle starting point for the Dare to Be Aware series, with a focus on pacing, curiosity, and learning about the body one step at a time.
