In this short episode, Özlem explores the meaning of authenticity as a daily practice rather than an idea. She shares how many of us learn to perform in order to be accepted, and how this performance slowly disconnects us from our truth, our needs, and our natural confidence.

She offers a gentle reminder that life becomes clearer and lighter when you stop performing and start showing up as who you are. This is a solo episode where Özlem invites you to relax your energy, choose honesty over approval, and come back to the version of you that feels true and aligned.In this episode, you will learn about: • What authenticity means in daily life • Why performing for acceptance creates emotional disconnection • How to recognize moments where you hide your real self • The impact of speaking your truth with clarity and softness • Practical ways to live closer to who you really are 🎙️ Host: Özlem Özkan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ozkanozlem/ Website: www.ozkanozlem.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ozlemozkan/

In this short episode, Özlem explores the meaning of inner trust, not as a concept but as a practical and everyday choice. She shares how we often try to force outcomes in work, relationships, and personal growth, and how this habit keeps us stuck in fear, tension, and self doubt. Özlem explains what inner trust really looks like in daily life, how to recognize when you are acting from pressure instead of presence, and how to shift into a calmer and more aligned state where life begins to flow naturally again. This is a solo episode where Özlem offers a grounded reminder to slow down, breathe, and trust what is already finding its way to you. In this episode, you will learn about: • What inner trust truly means in practice • Why forcing outcomes creates resistance inside your mind and body • Everyday signs you are acting from fear rather than alignment • How to soften your energy and choose presence over pressure • Practical ways to build trust in yourself and in the timing of your life 🎙️ Host: Özlem Özkan ✧ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ozkanozlem/ ✧ Website: www.ozkanozlem.com ✧ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ozlemozkan/
