Stress to Joy with Arsalan
We're launching a new Podcast called "Stress to Joy" with me, Arsalan Al Hashimi, as the host. In the United Arab Emirates, where I live and work for decades past, I've got to meet fascinating people who have persevered through amazing struggles and obstacles. And today I'm bringing them on the podcast to share their story with the world. In and through these conversations with the people that bring on the podcast, I'm aiming to highlight how important it to is to be aware that you create your own reality, and how your subconscious conditioning has brought you to where you are in presently in life. Living a life of joy is a lifestyle commitment. It's requires you to work on your own self day in and day out. And the reward is a purposeful life and a lasting feeling of fulfillment.These are deep and engaging conversations, and I'm sure you'll be able to connect with the guests and takeaway information that you can apply into your own life. Enjoy!
