#113 Özlem Özkan: The HIDDEN TRUTH About LOVE and ATTACHMENT

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Mon, 6 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode, I explore the difference between love and attachment, and how many of us learned to confuse the two.

I reflect on how the idea of love is often shaped by stories, culture, and early experiences. The belief that someone completes us, that love should feel intense, or that we cannot live without the other. Over time, these ideas can lead us to attach, rather than truly love.

Drawing from personal experience and insights from The Way to Love by Anthony de Mello, I share how attachment often comes from fear and dependency, while love creates space, freedom, and respect. What looks like love on the surface can sometimes be a quiet form of holding on.

This episode is an invitation to look at love more honestly. To notice where you may be holding tightly, and where you can begin to allow more space. And to gently explore what it means to love without losing yourself.

In this episode, you will explore

• The difference between love and attachment

• How cultural and social stories shape our idea of love

• Why attachment often feels like love, but is rooted in fear

• How dependency can replace genuine connection

• What it means to love with freedom instead of control

• A simple question to reflect on your own relationships

#112 Özlem Özkan: WHY WE GIVE - How Generosity Connects Us

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 04:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode, I explore the meaning of generosity through personal stories, cultural traditions, and simple moments that often go unnoticed in modern life.

I reflect on how I grew up around giving that felt natural and unspoken. Sharing food with neighbors, offering something without being asked, and seeing generosity not as a special act, but as part of everyday life. Over time, I also began to notice how modern environments often shift us toward protecting, comparing, and holding on, sometimes without realizing it.

Drawing from lived experience and gentle insight, I share the difference between true giving and overgiving. How generosity can come from the heart, while overgiving often comes from fear or the need for approval. And how small acts of giving, even something as simple as a coffee or a kind gesture, can create a quiet sense of connection.

This episode is an invitation to reconnect with something simple and human. To notice where generosity still exists in your life, and to explore what it might feel like to give without pressure, expectation, or calculation.

In this episode, you will explore

• How generosity can be a natural part of everyday life

• The difference between giving and overgiving

• How cultural traditions shape our relationship with sharing

• Why modern life often shifts us toward protecting instead of giving

• How small acts of generosity create connection

• What it means to give from the heart without expectation

#111 Neale Donald Walsch: What Really Matters in LIfe

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +0000

For decades, Neale Donald Walsch has guided millions of readers through his bestselling Conversations with God series, inviting people into deeper reflections about spirituality, consciousness, and the nature of reality.

In this conversation, we meet Neale in a different chapter of life. His new book Letters to a Young Seeker: Departing Thoughts from an Elder is not about adding more spiritual concepts, but about sharing what remains when ambition softens and life begins to ask more essential questions.

Rather than speaking only as a teacher, Neale reflects here as an elder looking back on a lifetime of seeking, learning, loving, and questioning. Together we explore legacy, regret, love, meaning, and what truly matters when the noise of becoming successful falls away. This conversation invites us into presence, maturity of the soul, and the quiet wisdom that appears when we remember who we already are.

In this episode, you will learn about

-What it means to offer “departing thoughts” at this stage of life

-How beliefs evolve when you look back on decades of spiritual inquiry

-Why the search for self-improvement can sometimes keep us from feeling enough

-The deeper human longing beneath spirituality and the search for God

-What truly matters when you begin to think about legacy, love, and time

#110 Özlem Özkan: Why Letting Go Feels So Hard

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode, I explore why letting go can feel surprisingly difficult, even when we know something in our lives is no longer right for us.

I reflect on how the body responds not only to our intentions, but to what it has repeatedly experienced and memorized. Over time, familiar patterns become the body’s reference point for safety. Even when those patterns limit us, the nervous system may still hold onto them because they feel predictable.

Drawing from neuroscience, nervous system understanding, and everyday experience, I share why releasing old habits, roles, or relationships can create physical resistance in the body. Not because something is wrong with us, but because our system is adjusting to something new and unfamiliar.

This episode is an invitation to approach change with more patience and compassion. To understand that letting go is not only a mental decision, but also a biological process. And to gently support your body as it learns that something new can also be safe.

In this episode, you will explore

• Why the body often resists change even when we want it

• How familiarity shapes what the nervous system perceives as safe

• Why letting go can create physical or emotional discomfort

• The difference between resistance and moving backward

• How the body slowly releases patterns it once memorized

• A simple reflection to support yourself during moments of transition

#109 Özlem Özkan: The HIDDEN COST of Always Saying Yes

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode, I explore why saying no can feel so difficult, even when we know it would protect our time, energy, and attention.

I reflect on how many of us learned early that being agreeable, helpful, or available helped us stay connected. These responses were often praised and became part of our identity. Over time, constantly saying yes can quietly divide our attention and exhaust the nervous system, leaving us busy but not deeply nourished by our lives.

Drawing from psychology, nervous system understanding, and everyday experience, I share why saying no can feel emotionally unsafe. Not because something is wrong with us, but because old patterns connected to belonging, approval, and identity are still operating in the background.

This episode is an invitation to approach the word no with more awareness and less guilt. To recognize that protecting your attention is not selfish, but essential. And to gently begin choosing what truly deserves your energy.

In this episode, you will explore

• Why saying no can feel emotionally uncomfortable

• How belonging and approval influence our decisions

• Why constant busyness can lead to nervous system overload

• The hidden cost of saying yes too often

• How attention and energy shape the quality of your life

• A simple reflection to help you choose what is essential

#108 Özlem Özkan: Hidden Behaviors That Keep You Stuck

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 05:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode, I explore how some of the behaviors that look kind, responsible, or mature on the outside can quietly keep us stuck on the inside.

I reflect on how many of these patterns were once intelligent responses to life. Ways of staying connected, belonging, or feeling safe. Over time, what helped us adapt can become what limits our growth, even when we are doing everything we think we should be doing.

Drawing from psychology, nervous system understanding, and lived experience, I share how overgiving, overexplaining, and staying understandable instead of honest can slowly lead to exhaustion and quiet self abandonment. Not because something is wrong with us, but because old survival strategies are still running in the background.

This episode is an invitation to notice these patterns without judgment. To recognize where you may be mistaking self abandonment for kindness. And to gently begin choosing what feels more true for who you are becoming.

In this episode, you will explore

• Why feeling stuck is often about adaptation, not failure

• How praised behaviors can become hidden survival patterns

• The difference between belonging and fitting in

• Why overgiving, overexplaining, and self silencing feel safe

• How exhaustion and heaviness can be signals from the body

• A simple reflection to interrupt old patterns with awareness

#107 Özlem Özkan: Integrity - listening to the voice within

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Mon, 9 Feb 2026 05:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode, I reflect on integrity not as a rule to follow, but as a quiet relationship with yourself.

I explore how integrity begins with listening to the subtle inner signals that don’t argue or explain themselves. The feeling of ease when something is right. The heaviness when something is not. Often, when life feels complicated or draining, it’s not because we are lost, but because we have been moving away from what feels true inside us.

Drawing from lived experience and gentle insight, I share how integrity shows up in small, everyday moments. Saying yes when something inside says no. Staying silent when something wants to be spoken. Over time, these moments are felt in the body as tension, irritation, or quiet resentment.

This episode is an invitation to return to sincerity. To listen without pressure. And to remember that integrity is not about perfection, but about staying with yourself with honesty and care.

In this episode, you will reflect on

• What integrity feels like in the body

• Why life feels heavier when inner truth is ignored

• How overexplaining and resentment signal misalignment

• The difference between honesty and rigidity

• Simple questions that help you return to yourself

• Why integrity is a practice, not an achievement

#106 Özlem Özkan: Why Life Repeats (The Patterns Your Nervous System Learned)

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Mon, 2 Feb 2026 05:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode, I explore why repeatedly ending up in the same situations is rarely about bad luck or wrong choices.

I reflect on how early experiences shape what our nervous system learns to recognize as familiar. What once felt normal often becomes what feels safe, even when it no longer serves us. Over time, these learned patterns quietly guide our relationships, work environments, and emotional dynamics.

Drawing from neuroscience, attachment theory, trauma research, and my own lived experience, I share how repeating situations are often survival patterns rather than personality traits. Patterns that once helped us stay connected, but may now lead to exhaustion, self abandonment, or confusion.

This episode is an invitation to move from self blame to awareness. To recognize familiarity without mistaking it for truth. And to begin creating inner safety so different choices can slowly become possible.

In this episode, you will learn about

• Why repeating situations is often about conditioning, not choice

• How the brain confuses familiarity with safety

• What attachment patterns have to do with relationships and work

• Why changing people or environments does not always change the pattern

• The signs that you may be replaying an old survival strategy

• Simple ways to interrupt patterns with awareness and compassion

#105 Özlem Özkan: How Childhood Shapes Adult Behavior

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 05:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode, Özlem explores how patterns formed in childhood continue to shape our behavior as adults, often without us realizing it. She explains how the nervous system learns its first rules early in life. What feels safe. What feels risky. What brings connection and what leads to withdrawal. Those early experiences don’t disappear. They become neural pathways that guide reactions, choices, and relationships later on. Drawing from neuroscience, attachment theory, and lived experience, Özlem shows why many adult behaviors that look like personality traits are actually survival patterns. Patterns that once helped us stay connected, but may now limit how freely we live, relate, and express ourselves. This episode is an invitation to move from self judgment to understanding. To see your reactions not as flaws, but as learned responses that can be updated through awareness, safety, and compassion.

In this episode, you will learn about

• How childhood experiences shape adult behavior

• Why the brain prioritizes familiarity over what is healthy

• How attachment patterns influence relationships and work

• Why insight alone does not always change behavior • How the nervous system stores learned survival responses

• What helps old patterns soften and new choices emerge

#104 Özlem Ôzkan: Why You Doubt Yourself | The Neuroscience of Self-Trust

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 05:00:00 +0000

In this short solo episode, Özlem explores why struggling with self-trust has nothing to do with confidence, strength, or personality.

She explains how self-doubt and the inner critic are often learned patterns rooted in the brain’s survival wiring. When we grow up in environments where mistakes felt unsafe or approval felt conditional, the nervous system learns to stay alert, cautious, and self-monitoring.

Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience, Özlem shows how self-trust is not built through logic or achievement, but through safety. When the nervous system feels regulated, the inner critic softens and self-trust becomes steadier and more natural.

This episode is an invitation to understand self-doubt with compassion and to begin rebuilding trust with yourself, one small moment at a time.

In this episode, you will learn about
• Why self-doubt is often a learned neural pattern
• How the inner critic develops as a protective mechanism
• What happens in the brain under stress and uncertainty
• Why success does not automatically create self-trust
• How safety, not certainty, rebuilds trust in yourself
• Small daily practices that help the nervous system update

#103 Özlem Özkan: CHILDREN need SAFETY before succes

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 05:00:00 +0000

In this short solo episode, Özlem speaks to parents who want to support their children during exams and school pressure while protecting their confidence and emotional wellbeing.

She explains why learning is not only about intelligence or discipline, but about nervous system safety. When a child feels safe, the brain can focus, remember, and stay curious. When a child feels pressured or afraid of failure, learning becomes much harder.

Drawing from neuroscience and her experience as an educator, Özlem invites parents to shift from pressure to presence and to support their children in a way that builds trust, resilience, and confidence over time.

In this episode, you will learn about

• Why emotional safety supports learning

• How pressure interferes with focus and memory

• The difference between support and pressure

• Simple ways to help your child feel safe during exams

#102 Özlem Özkan: Why Your Smile Matters

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Mon, 5 Jan 2026 05:00:00 +0000

In this short solo episode, Özlem reflects on the quiet power of a simple smile and how small, unintentional gestures can create unseen ripples in the lives of others. This episode is a reminder that kindness is contagious, that presence matters and that even when you don’t know it, your way of being can soften someone else’s day. A gentle invitation to smile, for yourself and for the people you may never realize you’re helping.

#101 Özlem Özkan: Why Your Body Says No Before You Do

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 05:00:00 +0000

In this short episode, Özlem explores why your body often says “no” long before your mouth does — and how ignoring your limits slowly disconnects you from yourself. She explains why saying yes can feel safer than saying no, how this pattern forms in the nervous system, and why physical pain or exhaustion can become the body’s final attempt to get your attention. Through science, psychology, and lived experience, Özlem guides you toward understanding boundaries not as rejection, but as regulation and self-respect. This is a solo episode inviting you to pause, feel your own capacity, and give yourself permission to choose what is true — gently, clearly, and without shame.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• Why saying yes feels safer than saying no

• How overgiving becomes a nervous system habit

• What happens in the body when you override your limits

• Why resentment is a physical signal, not a character flaw

• Two simple practices to create honest, grounded boundaries

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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. Özlem explains what authenticity really looks like in everyday life, how to notice the small moments where you abandon yourself, and how to return to your real voice without fear or pressure. She offers a gentle reminder that life becomes clearer and lighter when you stop performing and start showing up as who you are.

Volgens Sharief, het bange deel in hem om te 'vluchten' en het moedige deel in hem om zichzelf juist volledig te 'verbinden'. Hij begon te mediteren, en deed mee aan Vipassana stilte retraites. Hoe meer retraites Sharief volgde, hoe meer hij naar zijn innerlijke stem luisterde. Hij voelde steeds meer rust en kwam dichterbij zijn ‘ware ik’, zijn waarheid. Dat heeft er uiteindelijk ervoor gezorgd dat hij De Mannencirkel is gestart.

In deze aflevering leer je meer over:

-Sharief en zijn levensverhaal

-Waarom het belangrijk is om verbinding te maken met jezelf

-Hoe mannen zich beter kunnen verbinden met hun ware zelf

-De taboe dat een man zich zich moet voordoen als sterk, krachtig, en volhardend

-De Mannencirkel

The 25-years old Niagara Falls-based Siena Vendittelli grew up with anxiety and she and her surrounding had developed the belief that there was something wrong with her and they thought it was because of her genetics and family history. At the age of 16, she was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, and depression. Trusting medical experts she went ahead and started using prescribed drugs and had already seen many therapists. Yet, she kept having symptoms and nothing seemed to help. Until a close family friend told her about Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work. Siena shares with us openheartedly about her transformation by doing the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza and her many vulnerable moments of the unknown. During an event, Siena threw her medication out of the balcony and is since then not only medicine free but most importantly healed. She daily sheds some light on her true self and shimmers her light in the universe.

This episode is all about the Transformation Workshop (www.bridgingsworkshops.com). I am having a conversation with Liam Hounsell and Joe Wehbe about it.

In this episode you will learn:

-Why I created the #Transformation Workshop

-Who is the #Transformation Workshop for?

-What is the #Transformation Workshop for?

-What I am trying to change?

On my birthday, January 26 I launch this workshop. Years ago on this day, January, 26th I was born in the hospital in Alkmaar, a city in the North of The Netherlands. I think that my parents would never have imagined that I was going to be born in Alkmaar en they most probably didn’t know about the existence of Alkmaar, because they were born in a rural village in Turkey.

My granddad left this rural village in 1968, first for Germany, then to settle in the Netherlands. Although I cannot claim that I have gone through a huge transformation as my family did, I went through a transformation within.

#41 Joe Wehbe and Ozlem Ozkan: 18 and lost? So were we.

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Joe Wehbe) — Wed, 29 Sep 2021 04:00:00 +0000

In this episode, I talk to Joe Wehbe from Sydney, Australia. We talked about Joe's co-authored newest book '18 and lost? so were we', written by 8 authors who felt lost after leaving high school. The book is about the stories of 8 everyday young people who could not be more different to show that there is no perfect path after high school.

Seth Godin blurbed the book:

"The big lie is that people have figured out their future. In this powerful and honest book, you'll discover that it's a journey, not a plan, and that you can lean into the possibilities that lie ahead. Essential reading for anyone in high school (and their parents)."

Linda McLachlan Toronto-based, is a professional coach, business consultant, writer, and producer/host of the Arena podcast. In 2018 she was on a Turning Point. She needed to make some decisions about the next phase of her life. She had lived ‘this way for many years. Many attempts at ‘turning things around’ had failed. She was stuck. During a meditation and mindfulness retreat, she did some deep reflection. Out of this experience came the clarity and strength she needed to make a number of decisions: to leave her business, to ultimately leave her partner, move out, and quit drinking. She started living in faith rather than certainty.

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 03:00:03 +0000

Gulshanoy was born and raised in Uzbekistan, a country in Central Asia. Step by step she became the international marketing and e-commerce manager of two Danish fashion brands, Pieces & Mamalicious. Gulshanoy and I talk openly about the way we were raised as a girl. While we both strived for having the same rights as men do, we sometimes operated from two totally different identities. Work isn’t the only thing that is forming us, confidence, strength and endurance are built by life experience and failure is a part of that. Listen to this very inspirational woman about what the school of life taught her and how she rises by lifting other women.

Maria Sanchez Gonzalez, born in Madrid has played basketball on a high level in Spain, USA and UK. She works nowadays as a manager at ‘Nike’ in Paris and is co-founder of ‘We are KIIN’, a startup in Paris who promotes movement. Özlem played different sports and games on the streets and always wanted to win and be the best. Competing is a constant state for these women in any dimension of their life, as they both strive to be the best version of themselves. These two highly competitive women talk very openly about why they became competitive at a very young age and kept pushing any boundaries on their way. Basketball, Maria’s fundament in sports taught her about achievement, teamwork and friendship. Özlem’s strong will made her find herself in different situations where she expressed her competing side. As the sky is the limit for these women, their drive and physical appearance make them also visit time by time their insecurities and fear to be judged.

#5 Nakena Cromartie: The art of self

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Wed, 17 Jun 2020 04:00:19 +0000

Nakena Cromartie is an African American woman with a level of faith, courage and bravery. Together with Nakena we go down to the art of self in an age of #blacklivesmatter. While she believes that she is not defined by the perceptions of others and her skin color, she strongly believes that a contribution to the world starts with getting down to the art of self and getting in alignment with your true intentions. Nakena visits often a place of stillness to become much more centered in life. In her words: “Double down of the knowing what you do know how to do and just get about the business of doing that. Because there is nobody that knows how to do what you know how to do better than you knowing how to do what you know how to do.”

#4 Eva Cristina Pérez Ramos: Perfection doesn’t exist for a reason

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Wed, 10 Jun 2020 04:00:04 +0000

Eva Cristina Pérez Ramos was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. She grew up with big appreciation for some basic needs which are often taken for granted in the West, such as life security, food and water. Her appreciation for these basic needs and freedom in her life started expanding even more when she moved to Denmark, China and Spain. Living nowadays in Spain, facing the global pandemic, she still has great appreciation for the food that she can buy in the grocery store, even though she needs to stand in the line. While the public transport was partly shut down in Spain, she was grateful that she could walk to work without any insecurity or fear that something would happen to her. Here is a very special viewpoint of a strong woman who believes that perfection doesn’t exist for a reason. It’s up to us to appreciate life, accept things we cannot change, be courageous to change the things we can and contribute to the world.

#3 Malika Ouacha: In every crash there is a fundament to be found and build on

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Wed, 3 Jun 2020 03:00:09 +0000

Malika Ouacha was born and raised in the Netherlands by Moroccan parents. In her words the death of her mother first crashed everything inside of her and then became the fundament of the anthropologist she is today. She is doing her PHD in cultural and social anthropology at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University and serves at different organizations. Yet, she is much more than her studies and positions she is holding. Experiencing not having an example to follow in her life and feeling perceived as non equal to men, she just had to figure it out for herself and learn to stretch her muscles. This woman with fire in her soul tells us open heartedly what first broke her, the identity crisis she found herself in and the woman she eventually became.

#2 Maria Garcia Rojo and Ozlem Ozkan: Living a Curious Life

Maria Garcia Rojo was born and raised in Spain. From the age of nine, she spent her summers at a boarding school in Ireland, which created her foundation of living a curious life. Born in the 60’s during the dictatorship in Spain, she craved for freedom and her curiosity made her move to Germany, Egypt and later on Turkey. She says that curiosity is like a door, once you open it you cannot close it. It’s bringing you from one place to the next one.

#1 Why Bridging? Amsterdam, The Netherlands

ozkanozlem@icloud.com (Ozlem Ozkan) — Wed, 20 May 2020 04:51:04 +0000

In this episode we go to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, where I am based (at least for now!). This episode is an introduction to me. I openly tell about why I started this Podcast, how I was born into cultural diversity and entrepreneurship which started way back in 1968 when my grandfather moved to The Netherlands. I tell you more about my personal development journey and how my striving mentality served me and got in my way as well. I was perceived as this fearless girl but actually I wasn't fearless. I am fearful too, but I’ve learned from a young age to do things regardless of my fear and be comfortably uncomfortable.
