In this episode of Catching Up with Corey, I am joined by Olivia Hayse, a marketing professional, author, and board member for the Ladies of Liberty Alliance (LOLA). Based just outside Wichita, KS, Olivia’s journey has taken her from the farm to the campaign trail and onto the stage as a ballet dancer. We explore her unique path of “multi-passionate” success and how she balances political activism with motherhood, faith, and the arts.
Olivia is the author of Crooked Paths Straight, a book detailing her personal journey of trusting God’s design through the unexpected turns of her life. A registered Libertarian since 2016, she ran for the Kansas State Senate in 2024 and now serves on the USA Board for LOLA, where she focuses on empowering women and spreading the message of liberty.
In this episode, we discuss:
Defining Success as Freedom: Why success isn’t just about money, but the autonomy to decide how to spend your time and energy.
The Power of “One Thing”: Olivia’s advice on overcoming overwhelm by picking one small, manageable goal to accomplish at a time.
Crooked Paths Straight: The story behind her book and the lessons learned from relinquishing control and trusting a higher design.
Ladies of Liberty Alliance (LOLA): Her transition from a Senate candidate to a leader in an international organization dedicated to libertarian women.
Blazing the Trail: The importance of being “first” and providing representation for future generations, especially as a second-generation Mexican American.
Adults in the Arts: Her experience returning to classical ballet as an adult with Ballet Wichita and the sacred space of the dance studio.
Purpose Through Multi-Passions: How to find a common theme—like freedom—amongst many different interests to define your purpose.
