In this inspiring episode of The Discovery Pod With Eve, hosts Eve Richards and Tyrone DuBose talk with Olivia Rush, a professional dancer, model, and philanthropist who has turned her pain into purpose. Known as “Sunshine,” Olivia shares her powerful journey from a traumatic brain injury caused by bullying to becoming a champion for mental health awareness and inclusivity. At just 17, Olivia founded the nonprofit Dance to Make a Change, offering safe spaces for those affected by bullying and trauma in the dance community.

Olivia’s mission is to provide support, raise awareness for suicide prevention, and create opportunities for others to heal through dance. With a focus on kindness, inclusivity, and resilience, Olivia continues to make a lasting impact through her events and initiatives across the country.
