    October is Breast Cancer awareness month and I thought it was highly appropriate to divert slightly from my usual Kindly Blunt chat to highlight this important subject. I know none of us want to think about cancer but the truth is, we all know someone that has been affected by the wrath of cancer.  I am also willing to bet that most people have a connection to someone who has had breast cancer.  Happy Builders List (my email list) Link: https://bit.ly/HBLIST The link to amazon for my book  is   https://amzn.to/3M0go1Y

      Show Notes Episode 1 I'm Back For those of you that have listened to my Kindly Blunt podcast previously you may have wondered where I suddenly disappeared to, so let me fill you in as to where I've been and what I've been doing. My life suddenly took a nosedive in 2021, when I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. So, my first request for 2023 is if you have a test to go to – go to it, don't put it off because it's at an inconvenience, or you don't have time – make time. You never know it may just save your life. Most of 2021 was changing and adapting my life and my business to allow me to incorporate all the additional baggage cancer brings into your life. Listen to this podcast to hear how I did that, alternatively you could read about it in my new book that is coming out in March this year, called Agnes, Bea, Cancer and Me. It was tough.  I was not motivated, I couldn't even rant, so felt I needed to take a break from this podcast. However, as I said at the beginning – I'm back, fully motivated and ready to rant when necessary.  I have so many topics I want to talk to you about and I hope you can join me. Thanks for listening I hope you enjoy it.   Happy Builders List (my email list) Currently there is a free mini course if you sign up for “Bullen Proof Your Marketing” Link : https://helenbullen.kartra.com/page/HappyBB   “Commit to Achieve Your Best In Life and Business” – online course Mentored group starts 16th January.  (You can also buy this course without the mentoring anytime) LINK: https://helenbullen.kartra.com/page/commit-to-achieve   Email: Helen@helenbullen.com
