Conversations with Arzu - The Vitalityandmore Podcast

What happens when something you love starts to feel heavy and forced? In this episode, I open up about why I almost walked away from podcasting — not because I stopped caring, but because I became tired of the constant pressure to market, optimise, perform, and be seen. Somewhere along the way, the heart of why I began started getting buried under all the advice I'm getting that I'm not re...

It can be debilitating, but I'm here to help you change the narrative and find small ways to appreciate yourself and all your achie...

This week we are diving into the conversation of using positive language and affirmations. How do you talk to yourself, is it with love, kindness and compassion or is it with self-loathe and low self-worth.

The more open you become, the more awareness you...
