If Olivia Ponton really wants to improve and transform herself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding her back and preventing her evolution:
– her shallowness
– her lack of sincerity
– her indifference
– her frivolity
– her fear of commitment

Olivia Ponton may experience discord in relationships. Although Olivia is friendly and outgoing and commits herself to friendships and partnerships, Olivia often finds it difficult to balance her own needs, desires, and goals with the objective reality of others and their individual desires and needs.

To understand and overcome this problem, Olivia should accept the idea that every relationship follows more or less the same general scheme: a base of intimacy and an accomplishment or purpose apart from the relationship itself. If Olivia succeeds in defining, through discussion and communication, what sort of intimate relationship Olivia and her partners want to maintain and what accomplishment or purpose they hope to achieve, many conflicts will be avoided.
