Evolving Takes Werk

By Arlinda Christine

In a quest for joy, I’ve learned to be my most authentic self by being mindful, telling my story and being of service to others.

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.
