Olivia Jordan is the focus of a recent New York Times article on how to commit to self-improvement during the winter months

For some, the winter is a time for parties, big family meals and holiday gatherings. It’s a time to let go of rigid routines and other inhibitions naturally. In a recent New York Times article, Sacred Heart University digital marketing graduate student Olivia Jordan ’23, MS ’24 or “LivFit” as she’s known to her almost 400,000 TikTok followers, shared steps for maintaining the Winter Arc.
