Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Coming up on Great Company. The idea of being alone was so much more terrifying than not just being with someone.
Chapter 2: Why was Olivia Attwood afraid to be alone?
Just terrified to be with my own thoughts.
Was there a moment when you suddenly were like, hang on, I don't like my own company?
This, wow. I've never actually really spoke about it, like, in any, in this kind of detail ever. I'm Olivia Atwood, and I'm in great company. My house, my rules. Just fall into the dick sand.
Sit back down.
I'm sad. Fucking calm down.
When you did Love Island, it's still the most watched series ever.
In the world. The last day before I was about to go in the villa, I thought, I've not swam in the sea the last two weeks. I'm going to swim in the sea today. I waded into, like, here. This little pervert jellyfish, like, attached to it. My vagina. It just looked like I had aggressive herpes outbreak.
When Olivia Atwood is at home, what kind of personality are you?
I'm an extroverted introvert. Have you always been like this? I've always been like it, but I didn't know it. I had a very happy childhood, but I was a very anxious child because I used to have panic attacks when I was at school. Liv, I didn't realise this about you. I give myself a really hard time.

Chapter 3: What impact did ADHD have on Olivia's childhood?
If you can do that one thing for us, we'd love you forever. Okay, here we go. Enjoy this episode of Great Company with Olivia Atwood.
I'm Olivia Atwood and I'm in great company.
This is my first one I've done since having a baby. Wow. Yeah. I feel honoured. Don't worry about it. Thank you very much. No pressure. So I'm in that zone. I was saying to guys for a bit, like, do you like purple?
You don't really know what... Well, you feel like it's your first day at school.
I'm, like, hot and, like, I'm, like, overheating. I'm just, like, what? Like, I'm just not quite, like, in the zone. Okay. So can you lead it?
For God's sake, I was hoping to turn my brain off today. Okay. It's quite nice being, how do you find being a guest? Much easier. Yeah. You kind of just, you're just along for the ride, aren't you?
Well, interestingly, actually, I tell you what I do find. So I used to actually find being a guest much easier. Now I find it hard because when I'm a guest, I just, I talk too much.
But also, you know, from interviewing people, the worst, the guest that doesn't talk. or doesn't expand or just gives you one word. It's really like, who made you work for it? I've done interviews and I feel like I need to lie down afterwards.

Chapter 4: How did Olivia navigate toxic relationships?
I'm like, you made me work for every.
Who's your worst?
I have to say, this is like, to be fair, this is not so much podcasts, people in like this industry. It's more to do docs. Because obviously like people, it's fair to them. They're on camera for the first time. It's all these cameras and they kind of shut down. So, and that's half the art of it, isn't it? Getting people comfortable, getting them to open up.
Sometimes it's hard. Yeah, but that's the superpower that you have, right? Thank you. You 100% have it. I think that's sort of an ADHD thing, right?
You think?
Yeah, where you basically, when someone comes into a room, especially with interviewing, you want to make them feel as comfortable as possible. So you sort of... you create an atmosphere where you make someone else feel comfortable because you're almost feeling, which I do, you're feeling a bit like hectic yourself that you try and calm the situation down weirdly.
And do you have, do you have this like a hyper feeling? And sometimes I think, you know, I spoke to a life coach about it once. He's like, sometimes you have to be aware that you're not creating your own narrative for other people. But I feel like I can feel hyper aware if someone's uncomfortable.
Yeah.
Yeah, the whole time.

Chapter 5: What are Olivia's thoughts on OnlyFans?
All the stuff that goes on with every relationship. Yeah. But you have to remind yourself to keep falling in love with each other. High five to those amazing people out there who are constantly always in love and everything's blissful and everything's amazing. And whoever you are out there, I applaud you, right? Are they out there? I don't know.
I don't know if they are.
I don't know, man. Some people like to portray that is the case.
But you know as well as I do, the ones that go the hardest with the like, we are so happy, they're not. It's always the most, like, I don't want to name anyone, but it's always the most fucked up couple you know who do like the big, it's the true thing, isn't it? The big Instagram paragraphs for Valentine's Day and you're like...
it always is I think I've done that before though no you but you two don't go like you don't go yeah go on give it to me do you know what I mean you don't go overboard it's like yeah you're quite like you are quite soppy in your older age Jamie I'm soppy but Sophie's not soppy Sophie's literally like Sophie gives a kiss yeah Sophie's like Sophie like for my birthday she's like oh fuck she's like with love yeah yeah yeah
So one of you has to be like... But do you know what's amazing, right? My relationship with Sophie was this, is that I think because I'm a child of divorce, all those different things, I think I had a vision of a relationship that it has to be roses. Otherwise it's going... And movies outside and candles outside. You know what I mean?
You're thinking like a back on cinema thing.
Yeah, back on cinema thing.
I see people doing it right or like have dinners and we have to like wake up in the morning and music has to play and Sylvia's going we have to start dancing and then we start making out like I don't know like that shit none of that happens and because you have a blueprint of that's what you think existence is when that's not happening you feel like is our relationship right but actually the best kind of relationship is the ones which are kind of quiet and normal and just

Chapter 6: How did Olivia's experience on Love Island shape her view of herself?
And then when I'm alone, that's how I refill. So I can't refill my cup with people. okay so for me if I'm flying a long distance flight to LA right yeah and there's someone from my you're gonna know now someone from my production company goes oh my god I managed to get on your flight and I'm gonna sit by you I'd be like oh fuck off. No, no. I was going to have 12 hours alone. God.
And they think they've like done a really nice thing. So you're not alone. You don't have to fly alone to LA. And I'm like, I've been looking forward to flying alone to LA all month. Please. So that's the example. Whereas most people would hate the idea of a long, like long,
this is flight alone and when I go away with my team and we shoot TV shows they know me now of like they will have team dinner every night and I'll know some nights I will some nights I'll get to the end of filming and I'll go no I need to eat like room service alone because you just need to recharge I know I need to recharge but have you always been like this?
I think that I've always been like if I didn't know it and I think since I've known it I've become a lot more in control of my own life like my own happiness I think that I spent a lot of years actually being afraid to be alone. So I used to try to not be alone at any cost. I'm not sure where it came from. It's something I still can't really figure out. But I didn't want to ever be alone.
Like, I mean, like alone in the house. Like I'd have a friend sleep over or like always had a boyfriend. Yeah, very deep fear of my own company, which actually was something that took me quite a few years to work through.
Because your mind was loud?
mine was loud I was like kind of like an like a scared human I guess like in life I was like you know like chronically anxious like in my 20s my late teens I don't know if it was like I don't know what I actually don't know where it I still don't know where it fully came from but I was just terrified to be with my own thoughts or my own company and actually I think that
one of the most powerful things that you can harness in this life is to be comfortable with yourself because that's the only person that's like was there at the beginning you'll be there at the end and I think being able to travel alone eat a restaurant alone do things alone that comfortably though not like in a state of panic is just oh my god it's a freedom that like that's one of the most valuable things that I put effort into working on and now I love it I almost love it too much
Was there a moment when you suddenly were like, well, hang on, I don't like my own company when you were younger or was it like a gradual thing?
