There is so much to say about today's guest that I am not even entirely sure where to start! Helen Phelan is an award-winning health at every size pilates instructor. Her mission is to drastically change the way that we tend to talk about exercise by removing the body-shaming and diet culture from health wellness. As a pilates instructor, Helen offers nonjudgmental at-home workouts that challenge the body while infusing people with self-esteem, mindfulness, and compassion. She has done so much for SociEATy members such as a community live class that we did just recently! I have talked before on the podcast about the importance of movement and how it should be joyful and not done for the sole purpose of losing weight. Anxiety around food tends to go hand-in-hand with anxiety around exercise because of how diet culture tends to link the two, and there is a way to exercise intuitively in addition to eating intuitively. Helen is here to discuss that and so much more! She shares with us her own past and present relationship with food and exercise and also offers listeners some really helpful advice and tips! She emphasizes the importance of being sure that you're motivating yourself to move rather than forcing yourself to move and also gives advice on how to go about finding intuitive movement if (a) you absolutely hate exercise and never feel compelled to do it or if (b) you exercise obsessively. As I have said before on the show, it's important to address your why. What is your motivation for exercising? Would you still do it even if you knew for sure that there was a 0% chance of it changing the appearance of your body? As Helen asserts today, be proud of your body – not because of what it looks like but because of what it can do! I know that this is going to be a really amazing resource for a lot of people, and I appreciate Helen taking the time to join me in this episode to help spread this word. If you have someone in your life – such as a fitness instructor or a workout buddy – who would benefit from listening to what Helen shares in this episode, be sure to share it with them, and also remember that I absolutely love hearing from you, so screenshot this episode and let me know what was especially helpful or interesting!

When Helen and Nate move to the country to build the house of Helen's dreams, they never expected the land they would purchase held so many secrets and a large hidden fortune. A century ago, Hattie Breckenridge was hung for the loss of two of the townspeople's children, but not before she hid her fortune somewhere on the property. As Helen and Nate build their home, the historic pieces she brings in will also allow three generations of Brekenridge women's spirits to make themselves known. Will Helen, with the help of her 13 year old neighbor Olive, be able to figure out where the treasure is and who in the town can be trusted before it's too late? Another 5 star book in our eyes - we couldn't put it down and never could have seen the ending coming!

In this revelation packed episode of the Kingdom Talks Show, Helen Toews joins host Gil Hodges to discuss the power of intent. Helen is an author who has led small groups of believers into a fuller understanding of intimacy with our Father for over 50 years. Recently, Helen has taught on heart / brain coherence – a technique that she adopted from the HeartMath Institute and Lynn McTaggart's book “The Power of Eight.” Based on focusing the intentions of our thoughts and feelings, this quick and easy meditation centers the believer in love as a fundamental foundation for prayer and daily life in general. As Helen shares, the results are truly amazing and totally Father's heart for His children. Topics covered include: • The importance of having your heart in a place of compassion before gathering together and before prayer. • The central focus of employing this method of meditation is to be at peace and know God face to face. • Prayer that asks from inside the name of God with a clear intent in line with His heart. • Manifesting your desire within your thoughts, feelings, and imagination while simultaneously asking in accordance with the will of Father. Show notes by Lisa Perez-Benitez Kingdom Talks Media exists to train and equip people around the world as the ekklesia (family doing Kingdom business). We believe you have a unique position in Father's family and a powerful purpose in the restoration of all things. ⭐ Get early access to full shows + exclusive bonus "Behind The Scenes" segments!

With a thirst for helping companies discover opportunities for improvement, Helen Calvin has been on a mission to help organizations thrive throughout her career.   As the CRO at Jellyvision, her love for interviewing and hiring has shaped her employee development strategies and influences the way she empowers the Jellyvision customer and revenue teams to pursue greatness.  Tune in to hear Helen offer up some great advice on this episode of Revenue Revolutionaries. Episode Key Takeaways1. Being insatiably curious is the best way to understand and serve customers - Helen shares her perspective on the importance of using curiosity to understand and serve customers.  She stresses this by giving a couple of examples of questions you can ask to understand the customer’s mindset while keeping a pulse on the problems that are impacting the customer the most. 2. Think about the needs of your employees in order to effectively serve and retain customers - Helen believes the best path to retaining and growing customers is to think about customers through the lens of employees. The starting point for delivering value to customers and partners is through protecting employees.  If employees are in go standing with the company organization they will serve customers well. 3. There is both safety and risk in the CRO role - The CRO role is pretty black and white for Helen as she clearly knows if she’s doing her job or not through the revenue metrics (the safety) that are used to run the business.  She also knows that there is nowhere to hide (the risk) as the numbers speak for themselves.  She predicts that CROs will start to take on more responsibility within organizations in the coming years.  Aligning teams across the organization relative to revenue will become more important to ensure the functional areas and leaders are in lockstep and understand their role in the revenue equation.   4. If you’re not voting for yourself, the vote is unanimous - As Helen reflects on her relationship with her mom she encourages us to place bets on ourselves.  “You’re in control of your future” she explains.  It’s important that we all have faith that there will be brighter days in 2021 and to make that happen we need to take care of ourselves and each other to ensure that happens. 5. ‘Great’ likes to work with ‘great’ - Helen has made a point to focus on people development throughout her career to get the most out of her teams. This has been a key strategy for her to ensure that she builds the strongest team and culture.  She believes in setting high expectations while creating an environment for autonomy to allow for people’s talents to shine through.  Leaders must provide their teams with the right tools alongside high expectations to give them a chance to be great and work with others who have similar ambitions. 

2018 American Ninja Warrior - Season 10Ice Swimmer; Rock Climber; Olympic Powerlifter; Swimmer; Snowboarder Parkour...All Around Ninja Warrior, HELEN LIN!Helen is a certified strength coach and personal trainer, a TRX Level 1 Qualified trainer, and a swim and rock climbing instructor.She competed on American Ninja Warrior in 2018, swims marathons, and is one of few women to have swam an “ice mile.”Beyond her qualifications as a trainer and athlete, Helen’s positive attitude and ability to cheer on her clients sets her apart from the rest.

Maybe you simply want to look, feel and function better than you ever have before.I meet clients wherever they are on their health and fitness journeys, customizing a fitness program and holding them accountable for reaching their goals.

Helen Macdonald is setting our imaginations soaring again with Vesper Flights, a collection of her best-loved essays, illuminating everything from mushroom-hunting to the poignant particulars of birds’ nests. As Helen wrote, “animals don’t exist in order to teach us things,” but her live conversation with American Book Award-winning poet Camille T. Dungy will show us how much we can learn by letting nature keep its secrets.

Celebrating Episode 50.Helen Murphy is the Assistant Principal at Vermont Primary School in Victoria. About 7 years ago, the school realised that it was time to look for a new reporting system. What they found in Sentral was a whole lot more, and the school quickly began to expand its use of Sentral and its capabilities. 7 years down the track it seems like a long way from the manual systems they’d been using, and it’s very clear that there’s no turning back. In my conversation today, Helen talks about the many benefits and positive changes that have taken place right across the school community since moving to Sentral back in 2014. As Helen describes, the staff were very quick to embrace it.

As the title states, I am talking about a financial guide for women. It's mind boggling that women today take financial planning and put it in a drawer; maybe a closet; under the rug. You would be amazed. It's not something that they really are at the helm of. Why is that? We're dominating in so many ways. We're educating ourselves further than men. We are definitely dominating marketplace, where we're starting more businesses. We're providing for our families - sometimes, THE provider. We're becoming a lot more influential in top leadership positions, such as CEOs. According to statistics from UBS, a financial planning firm. 85 percent of women today manage the expenses of their household, whether they're married or single. It's just the woman takes that on. Only 23 percent take the lead when it comes to long-term financial planning. What should you do? First, you've got to manage your own money. If you have a confidence issue with money, or you hate money, or you don't want to face it, or you just don't want to deal with it, then picture your life over the next five, 10, and 15 years without money and a plan. What is it going to look like? What are you going to look like when you don't have the ability to work, or you're staring at retirement? It's a long journey - maybe as long as 40 years. Life is too short, and it's meant to be enjoyed. Chances are, you will have to work, so make it worth all the time and effort that you do. You can either live in control of your financial path, or you can be controlled by it. I would suggest choose wisely and determine how you are going to chart your course to some financial freedom where you can enjoy life on your terms. Joining me on this podcast as well is Helen Colon, with Capstone Wealth Advisors. I met Helen through NAWBO Columbus, which is the National Association of Women Business Owners. She has an amazing career and background, and her passion, along with her New York sass, are what sets her apart. As Helen states: "Financial planning is a relationship with the client. I take great pride in developing a team effect around my clients, as you know. I bring in the CPA for the tax strategies. I bring in the estate attorney for legacy planning, multi-generational planning. Those women that come to me realize that they find value in being- they feel safe. They feel they have their team around them so they can go on and do what they need to do. She continues: "Financial planning doesn't just involve investments. We look at risk protection, long-term care. I work with a CPA, with tax strategies, things of that nature. I had a client come to me, as you know, several years ago that wanted help with financial planning. Her fear was that she was going to live in her daughter's basement if she didn't plan properly. Well, I can tell you, as of today, that will never happen." This is THE podcast that advances women toward economic, social and political achievement. Hosted by Betty Collins, CPA, and Director at Brady Ware and Company.

This episode of Indie Author Weekly features a reading from Sagan's upcoming release, "Out of Control" (Book 6 in the Polyamorous Passions series). Polyamorous Passions will include 9 books in total. Basically, there are three “trilogies” within the entire series, and each trilogy follows a different main character, all of whom are best friends: Emma is the main character in Books 1 - 3, Helen is the main event in Books 4 - 6, and Scarlett will be featured in Books 7 - 9. Each of the books in Polyamorous Passions can be enjoyed as stand-alones, but you’ll get much more out of it if you read all of the stories in the series, since the characters show up again and again across the books and the storylines continue from one to the next. In this book, Book 6, you also get a glimpse of what’s going to happen for Scarlett’s story—so for those of you who are fans of Scarlett, you’re really going to like that. Some background on Helen's story: Book 4 shares the story of how Helen is planning her wedding with her fiance, Ben… but when she finds herself falling for their wedding photographer, she starts to wonder if maybe monogamy isn’t something she wants for her life, after all. Book 5 features the wedding and honeymoon between Helen and Ben, and their experience in trying out a non-monogamous lifestyle for the first time. Book 6, Out of Control, which will be released on December 10, is all about what happens next. As Helen’s career takes off and as she and Ben begin practicing an ethically non-monogamous lifestyle, we get to see some of the pitfalls that they run into, and whether Helen can can handle it when she lets someone else take control of a situation for a while. As with the other books in the Polyamorous Passions series, Out of Control is a contemporary new adult romantic comedy. It includes plenty of sexual tension in the workplace, a cute homage to When Harry Met Sally, and a pretty funny conversation on the proper etiquette of sexting. Learn more at SaganMorrow.com/books, or visit Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, or your favourite e-bookstore. With that background on the book out of the way, let’s get into the excerpt. The excerpt today is from Chapter 4. Helen is at the workplace after hours with her boss, Jack, as they prepare for her new job. Unbeknownst to Jack, Helen is secretly sexting with her boyfriend, Grant, in between working. What could possibly go wrong? Tune into this episode to find out what happens!

For the first time, Open Country is entirely based at a cemetery. Helen Mark explores Arnos Vale in Bristol - forty-five acres of green space and woodland which provide a vital wildlife corridor in the city. First established 180 years ago as a 'garden cemetery' with architecture in the style of classical Greece, Arnos Vale quickly became the fashionable place for Victorian Bristolians to be buried. It was one of the first places in England to install a crematorium, a state-of-the-art development in its day. But during the latter part of the 20th century it fell into disrepair. Neglected and overgrown, it almost closed for good. A campaign to save it has resulted in a cemetery which today is much more than just a place to bury the dead. As Helen finds out, it has a whole life of its own. Wildlife thrives in the trees and undergrowth which almost swallowed the gravestones during the years of neglect. Now restored as a working cemetery, it also has a cafe and a shop, and is a venue for everything from yoga classes and craft fairs to film screenings and even weddings. Producer: Emma Campbell

As with many things in life, success in business has a lot to do with attitude… probably more so than your skills and expertise in your industry. In her work as a business and life coach, Helen MacMillan helps entrepreneurs and others adopt the right mindset for excelling in their business. As Helen says, the first step is often getting out of your own way. You also have to look inward to find the #1 principle for success.

In this weeks episode of the Mental Health Pod we spoke to Helen Undy from the Money and Mental Health Policy Institution. As Helen explains there is an often overlooked impact of those with mental health issues struggling with their finances and vica versa with research suggesting people with Mental Health issues being 3x as likely to have money problems. The Money and Mental Health Policy Institution was set up to break this link between financial difficulty and mental health problems. They achieve this through research, developing practical policy solutions and working in partnership with both those providing services and those using them to find what really works. Most recently they were successful in securing a Government extension of the Breathing Space scheme to people in the hospital for their mental health or under the care of a crisis team in their local community. Helen was a really great guest and I’d urge you to look up her and the institutions work on their website.

Helen Suk moved to the UK shortly after she graduated university. What she told her mother was only supposed to be a summer trip, ended up being two years away from home. Helen was hooked with the travel bug ever since. On the show, Helen admits that traveling will not solve your problems. In fact, your problems will follow you. The good thing about travel is that it is a powerful tool that can change your perspective, and can even help heal you when you’re feeling lost.   Key Takeaways: *Why is Helen such a strong supporter of women’s solo travel? *Using travel to escape will do you no good. Your problems will follow you no matter where you go. *For Helen, travel was not the answer, but it was a tool. A very powerful and enlightening tool. *Helen told her mother she’d be spending just the summer in the UK. The reality was she didn’t come home until two years later. *As Helen has traveled the world, she has developed a deep respect for the world’s wide life. *What country or place has become a sanctuary for Helen? *There’s beauty no matter where you go. *What has been the hardest part for Helen about traveling solo? *Fortunately, Helen has never been robbed while traveling. *Helen tends to get a bit restless when she’s been in one place for a bit too long. *Helen went to India about a year after her brother had been murdered. Helen was struggling emotionally, and knew she needed to take a pause in her life. *When Helen went to India, it was so transformational for her. She was finally able to let go. She learned that death is just a natural part of the soul. *Remember, solo travel is the ultimate form of self-care.   Mentioned in This Episode: Transformviatravel.com Transform via Travel on Facebook @GoSoloLive on Twitter Email: Jennifer@TransformviaTravel.com Patreon.com/gosololive   Connect with Helen: Website Facebook Twitter Instagram   Leave a Review: Did you like this episode?

Listener Feedback: Ivan from Cuba Hi guys I'm Ivan and I'm Cuban that’s why my situation here with the internet is kind of complicated but I will always find a way to get your episodes. I wanted to say that you guys are great and I believe truly in what you do. I'd like to ask you about the use of ALL and EVERYTHING. That's all, thank you. ALL and EVERYTHING = 100% of something or of a group ALL All + uncountable/plural countable nouns eg. He ate all the food. (uncountable noun) / These students are all my friends. (plural countable noun) Pronoun + all eg.Craig and I love you all./ We all love holidays. / It all seemed a bit strange, from start to finish./ They all came to see us. / We love you all / We love all of our listeners. All of + object form of pronoun (Compare with Pronoun + all) eg. Craig and I love all of you. We all love holidays / All of us love holidays. It all semed a bit strange / All of it seemed a bit strange. They all came to see us. / All of them came to see us. All = all of + determiner (the, this, those, my, etc.) “All of” is more common in American Eng. eg. Craig’s eaten all (of) the chocolate. The listeners had heard all (of) my jokes before. BUT COMPARE: Not all podcasts are popular. (Talking about podcasts in general. No “the”; no “of”) Not all (of) the podcasts are popular. (Talking about specific podcasts. eg. Aprender inglés con Reza y Craig podcasts.) All's well with me at the moment. All that matters is that YOU improve your English. (the only thing that matters.....) All (that) I ever wanted was for Berta to love me. All he wants now is to get a divorce. 'All' often goes with 'that' - We say Is everything finished? ~ Yes, everything is finished. (Not XIs all finishedX) EVERYTHING Everything = All + relative clause eg. Reza gave Berta everything, but she still wasn’t satisfied. = Reza gave Berta all (that) he had, but she still wasn’t satisfied. The bad businessman lost everything. = The bad businessman lost all (that) he owned. EVERYTHING is usually used as a pronoun: Everything is OK. / I did some work, but I didn't finish everything. Everything substitutes 'other things', for example, "I had to reply to emails, make some images, record a podcast, phone my co-worker, post on Facebook.......but I didn't have enough time and I didn't do everything. All = Everything/Everybody - dramatic/ poetic/ old-fashioned English eg. I saw you with your new boyfriend last night. Tell me all/everything! Newspaper headline: “Ship sinks. All are dead. No survivors.” All = nothing more/the only thing(s) eg. All (that) I ever wanted was for Berta to love me. All we did was a friendly kiss on the cheek - nothing more. I promise! Hi Craig! I am Karla from Costa Rica... I just wanted to thank you for this excellent tool that allows me to practice and improve my English. I am going to start a new job having interaction with people from different countries in Europe, so I was concerned about accents and slang words. As any language, I think it is about learning through daily interaction, right? Any advice? Thanks again! Speak to people (Italki, language exchanges) Listen to podcasts and watch TV series in English (Netflix, YouTube) Mamen - Biescas, Huesca Hi guys Thank you so much for keeping working on your podcast so hard during the summer We all appreciate your big effort! This podcast had been so useful 'cause you get (give) me the opportunity to learn and improve every day I wonder if you could help me with some issues that I always have. Please, could you explain the difference between : fix, manage, figured out, make it? I've heard these verbs in so many situations and it's a bit confusing. Thank you so much Hope you could manage or what ever with the hot summer. BIG KISS FIX - a problem/something broken/a time (mend, repair) - arreglar, reparar: “I took my broken watch to the watchmaker to have it fixed.” “This company is losing money and we’d better fix it soon before it’s too late!” “I need to fix our ceiling fan." Fix (attach) 'I'll fix this piece of paper to the wall.” Fix a price - 'We've fixed the price of our First Certificate course download at 17 euros.'

Giving with families is one of the things many people aspire to and often finding challenging. Join Helen LaKelly Hunt and Leah Hunt-Hendrix, a mother-daughter duo, on April 23rd for an intimate conversation about family philanthropy. We'll dive into topics ranging from tips for engaging family members to strategies for working as a team and balancing individual interests that arise in a family setting. As Helen says, "Funding together allows all family members to learn about each other at the deeper soul level. It has become an important and joyful part of all our lives." Helen is the co-founder of several public foundations and nonprofit organizations, including Women Moving Millions, a community of individuals who have made gifts and pledges of one million dollars or more to organizations promoting the advancement and empowerment of women and girls. Swanee her sister helped catalyzed this vision. Helen is also passionate about the Safe Conversations Project, whose goal of interrupting the downward cycle of poverty by strengthening relationships at home.

She helped start the Solidare Network, a community of people with wealth aligning their resources with movements that promote dignity, justice, and equality. Leah has spent the past decade at the intersection of theory and practice, combining a study of moral philosophy and democratic theory with research around the world in grassroots organizing and social movements. --- Hosted by: Jason Franklin; Featuring Bold Giver: Helen LaKelly Hunt; Participant: Leah Hunt-Hendrix

Comedy performer and broadcaster Helen Keen, explores a rare condition that she herself once suffered from - selective mutism or SM. It is an anxiety disorder that develops in childhood. Those affected by SM can usually speak fluently in some situations, notably a home, but remain silent elsewhere - such as in school, with extended family members, or even parents. Their inability to speak is so severe that it has been likened to a phobia of speaking, and is often accompanied by the physical symptoms of extreme anxiety. Selective mutism can be mistaken for shyness or worse, a deliberate refusal to talk. But in reality, these children are desperate to speak, to share their thoughts and ideas, to make friends and to fulfil the expectations of their teachers and parents, in taking an active part in class activities. Yet somehow the words remain "trapped" inside as the anxiety, frustration and fear, builds. Though relatively rare, increasing awareness and official recognition of selective mutism in the psychiatric literature has seen an increase in diagnoses. Today, it is estimated to affect about 1 in 150 children in the UK – roughly equivalent to the number of children who are affected by classic autism. The causes of selective mutism are poorly understood but a genetic component is likely as are environmental influences. What is clear is that without early intervention, SM can take hold and persist well into adulthood and in rare cases can develop into more acute mental health problems. As Helen knows only too well, it can be a lonely place to grow up in, as the quiet child is so often 'the forgotten child'. It wasn't until Helen was in her early 20s that she managed to break the silence. In this programme, Helen meets some of those affected by SM, including parents and former sufferers as well as experts helping children to find their voice again.

G&D 10-25-09The strange-but-true history of Maggie Fox, 19th-century founder of the American Spiritualist movement, haunts a 20th-century journalist in this double-barreled tale of love and loss. Mackin (Dreams of Empire; Queen’s War; etc.) skips between Fox’s story and that of middle-aged magazine writer Helen West, who takes on an assignment to write an essay about Maggie and her sister Katie. In 1848, the two inventive children drew crowds by claiming that they were receiving spirit messages at their home in upstate New York; in fact, they had devised a clever system involving hidden hammers and cracking joints. The “Hydesville Rappings,” as they were dubbed, gained popularity, and the Fox girls were swept off to New York City, where they performed s‚ances for the likes of Horace Greeley. As Helen uncovers this bizarre tale, she begins to feel a kinship with Maggie, an unhappy child who grew up too quickly in a harsh environment. Like Helen, who has been mourning the death of her married lover, Jude, for three years, Maggie also lost her one great love, Arctic explorer Elisha Kent Kane, and spent the rest of her sorrow-filled life communing with his ghost. Although Helen is not a believer at first, she soon finds herself spooked by mysterious bumps in the night. She believes she feels Jude’s presence, and a desperate hope of seeing him again persists even as a new man attempts to woo her. Mackin shifts skillfully between these two atmospheric worlds, and once she tones down the overwritten prose of the first few chapters, the dual narrative acquires rhythm. Intelligent if predictable in its setup, the novel pays homage to two strong women separated by history but united in spirit.
