Evolving Takes Werk
By Arlinda Christine
I’ll share what I’ve learned as a self-published author and provide tips for other aspiring authors. I'll discuss what joy and gratitude mean to me, all while I mind my business and drink my water or organic juice.
Several episodes will include interviews with authors and influencers who will share how they joyfully tell their story.
I am looking forward to this journey and the newness that it holds.

Evolving Takes Werk - SZN 2 Episode 10 - The Newness
This week I share about my journey of traveling to Phoenix, Arizona to my son's high school basketball game and the newness of that experience.
I also share about some amazing restaurants that I dined at while there.
Filibertos (They are not mentioned on the podcast, I dined there after recording.)
In conclusion I share about practicing gratitude for others and for self.

Evolving Takes Werk - SZN 2 - Episode 9 - And It's Ok
In this episode, I'll share how I'm learning that it's ok to say that I'm not feeling ok and how after spending time in the hospital recently, I picked up "Win By Two", by Adam Donyes and Derrick Derrell, to finish reading.
"It's ok to be where you are and to feel how you feel. It's ok to reflect on that it's been rough lately but today is good. When you think about practicing gratitude and being present it’s important to be true to how you feel in that moment. Being thankful for what you have, being thankful for what is and is not." - Arlinda

Evolving Takes Werk - SZN 2 Episode 8 - Resilience | I Am Her
In this week's episode of the Evolving Takes Werk Podcast, I discuss resilience and what it means to bounce back. I'll share how my book covers and stories tell a story of being in the dark to desiring more colorful and beautiful scenery. Often times we don't realize how pain is pushing us to purpose until we take the time to sit down and to truly "see ourselves". While that's not always easy, it's definitely worth it.
