Filly is joined by Helen Marshall, founder of Primal Alternative, on today's podcast episode. I came across the Primal Alternative brand five or so years ago, and fell in love IMMEDIATELY with the grain-free, wholefood bakery products. Bread, cookies, granolas, pizza bases, pastries, wraps - Primal Alternative has you covered, making healthy eating and eating to a protocol (low-fodmap, Paleo, Keto, Vegan, nut-free, etc) covered! It was great chatting to Helen about her own body burnout journey, how Primal Alternative came about, and how she has created a unique business model, helping other women bake grain-free products from home with the Primalista Licence and make money. About Helen Marshall Helen's mission is to empower people to be accountable to their purpose with a new business model of freedom – the Primalista Licence. The model was born from a desire to share a successful grain free food business model. As a health coach, Helen saw first hand how people ‘fell off the wagon' as they missed comfort food staples like bread, pizza, pastries and cookies. So she created nourishing alternatives to the foods everyone loves and they literally sold like hot cakes. Helen gets the struggles many face finding a vocation that aligns with their values. She packaged everything she'd learnt about creating a food business from home whilst on a healing journey, raising a family and designing a lifestyle around the things she loves. The Primalista Licence meets the needs of many people in all areas of their lives: vocational, financial, mental, spiritual, social, physical & familial. To date over 291 Primalistas have joined Primal Alternative in Australia, New Zealand, USA & UK. Before ditching the rat race, she was a Fitness Instructor and Personal trainer then a Business Manager for a leading recruitment company in the city. Helen has interviewed people all of her life listening to their desires around health, work and lifestyle and has combined those skills to bring her greatest contribution yet – the Primalista Licence. Helen lives on 100 acres of wilderness in Albany, WA with her husband Mike and their teenage children Sam & Milly. She likes Body Balance, Body Step + Body Pump, massage, coffee with her bestie, sunbathing, meditation, walks in nature and champagne in the spa. In today's episode, Helen talks to Filly about: Helen's body burnout story - food sensitivities, SIBO, leaky gut, fatigue, brain fog & more. How Helen healed using food as medicine, lab testing & protocols, and deeper root-causes around stress. How Primal Alternative was born, after Helen started health coaching and realised so many women were struggling to eat healthy and cooking everything from scratch. The moment the Primalista licence business model dropped into Helen's mind, after looking at beliefs and aligning with her values. A segway into accessing your inner guide. How you can ditch deprivation and apply long term dietary and lifestyle changes.

Are you a “triple threat” — a performer who's adept at singing, dancing, and acting?If you want to work in musical theater, revue shows, or cruise ship entertainment, you'll often find producers expect their dancers to have some singing ability.Unfortunately, many performers who identify primarily as dancers may resist learning how to sing. Having held themselves to extremely high dance standards, many choose to believe they “can't sing” when they don't immediately sound like Beyonce Knowles.This week's guest helps prevent that perfectionism from getting in the way of performing dreams. A professional singer who identifies as a dancer, Helen Woodley has helped many dancers become comfortable with their singing voices — even when they need to sing in a foreign language. Her experiences have showed her the dangers of “maladaptive perfectionism” and how it can lead to anxiety, depression, and avoidant behaviors that keep talented people from expanding their skillsets.Join us as Helen explains the challenges perfectionism creates for students and teachers. Discover strategies that encourage students to recognize the voice as another muscle that can be trained. And learn where those self-limiting beliefs about singing and performing may originally come from.In this episode, you'll learn:How Helen's early background as a dancer unexpectedly gave way to a singing career 7:43 Why modern musical theater is now requiring more dancers to know how to sing 9:26The unique challenges voice coaches face when working with dancers without a strong singing background 12:38Why students decide they “can't sing” 15:19The difference between adaptive perfectionism and maladaptive perfectionism 17:48The tendency dancers have in developing maladaptive perfectionism 21:10How to encourage a dancer to develop their singing abilities 23:45How social media and reality shows have helped create limiting beliefs about singing and training 29:28How adult dancers need to look at singing and their ongoing singing education 34:15If singing should be part of a dancer's early education 38:00 The Vocal Advancement Podcast interviews many talented performers and educators, each with their own unique perspective on music and teaching.

In this episode, Robin again breaks the mold in the world of LGBTQ+ podcasting by introducing us to yet another one of her listeners, via a letter she received from Helen. Like the previous letter read in last season's Episode #55 by Michelle in Australia, Robin received a letter from Helen, outlining her very painful and difficult 2022, complete with Helen's coming out story. Robin was so struck by Helen's vulnerability, the pain she is working through, the self-discovery she is experiencing, and of course, her beautiful coming out story, that she knew she had to share Helen's story with us. In fact, Helen shared her story with Robin as an offering for it to be read on the podcast.  But Robin knew that the impact of Helen's words and all the sentiment behind them would be better spoken by Helen herself. So, Robin asked and Helen agreed to read her own letter, aloud, for the Coming Out Late audience.Helen's real, raw and relatable story shares with us the following . . .How grief, gender dysphoria, autism, intersex, bisexuality, and ultimately, butch lesbian ALL came to light in Helen's world in 2022!How Helen has to deal with the guilt that SHE has survived and is now free to turn away from her deceased husband, after 34 years of marriage, and move on with her life. And, with him now being gone, and her alone, she must now choose a different path to her future than the one in which they had originally planned for themselves together. After all, “Life” is for the Living, is it not?What is gender dysphoria? “Gender Dysphoria” is defined as: a term that describes a sense of unease that a person may have because of a mismatch, or incongruence, between their biological sex and their gender identity. This sense of unease or dissatisfaction may be so intense it can lead to depression and anxiety and have a harmful impact on daily life.What it means to be Intersex: ​​Intersex describes naturally occurring variations in biological sex characteristics. These differences may be apparent at birth or may not be recognized until later in life. Oftentimes, a person will go through life fully unaware that they have an intersex variation.  Intersex is both a biological state and, in recent years, a group identity for people who have been historically stigmatized for being born with bodies that do not align with the binary definition of "boy/girl," "man/woman," or "male/female."The realization of masculine secondary sexual characteristics such as: the need to shave her facial hair, a deeper voice than ‘typical' of females, and a more muscular physicality.Helen's initial declaration of being bisexual, only later to publicly announce and acknowledge her lifelong butch lesbian inclinations.Her realization that, at the moment, ‘living her dream' has nothing to do with attracting others, but it's about at last learning how to love and accept herself for who she truly is, AND enjoying being that person.Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?

How excited were we when, Sunday Times Best Selling psychological thriller author, Helen Callaghan agreed to be on the podcast?Helen is a stationery freak, so we dug into her process of writing, typewriters, book soundtracks, choosing colours for books, Moleskines, writing retreats and more. It was a real joy and we're sure you'll be inspired and motivated and learn a lot about the world of writing books.Some quotes from the show: “Self-consciousness is the enemy of creativity” On Fountain Pens - “There's something wonderfully technical about them” On writing retreats - “This is what I'm doing now and I'm concentrating on this” “You create a plan for the chapter, and then you don't follow it.” “Work on it every day, be engaged in it and a synthesis happens between things in your head.” “Inspiration has to be summoned” Here's what we covered: NaNoWriMo - and Helen's engagement in it How stationery still has an important role in Helen's life and book writing process Why seeing what you crossed out on paper is important Why choosing a colour scheme for a book being written is important - and how Helen does this Mood boards and music playlists The importance, joy and process of writing retreats. Helen mentions Gladstones writing retreats. How Helen plans and plots out a book - and why sometimes she often doesn't stick to the plan Why writing plots and twists in a book often surprises herself with where it goes! You can find out more about Helen, including her social media and published books here on her website. ThanksRob and Helen

Today I'm speaking with the Australian writer and retired lawyer, Helen Dale. Helen is best known for writing The Hand that Signed the Paper, a novel about a Ukrainian family who collaborated with the Nazis in The Holocaust. The book was published in in 1994 and won the Miles Franklin Award, Australia's top literary prize. Helen became the award's youngest winner. However, controversy ensued after it became known that Helen had been trolling the diversity obsessed literary establishment by claiming to be Ukrainian and basing the book on interviews with her relatives (she'd published under the pseudonym “Helen Demidenko”). Today, however, I'm speaking with Helen about something much more personal: growing up gifted. Helen has, in her own words, a “freakishly high” IQ. As someone very interested in giftedness, I thought I could pose some of the most asked questions on Quora to Helen about living life with an IQ at the 99.9th percentile. The conversation is wide-ranging, so you might like to make use of the timestamps in the YouTube video. I've also pasted them below. Links to Helen's work: Helen has authored three works of fiction.

My next guest, Helen Plumridge, doubled her revenue last year and is on course to double again this year. But she didn't achieve success overnight - it's been more of a marathon than a sprint. Over a 20 year career, Helen's experienced her share of setbacks and disappointments including the failure of her first recruitment business startup. Other areas of huge learning include choosing the right business model, hiring the right people and growing into leadership. Plus, the usual challenges of balancing business, fitness goals and family life. In this episode, you will hear Helen's story of resilience and how she grew her recruitment business with the right combination of motivation, strategy, team, and partners. She discusses her partnership with Recruitment Entrepreneur and shares the key factors that contributed to doubling her revenue in the last year. Helen is the founder of King Recruit and King Executive, a partnership-led recruitment and search industry working with high-growth, small and medium sized companies in the South-West of England. Episode Outline and Highlights [1:10] Why Helen's first recruitment business didn't succeed and what she learned from that experience.  [5:08] Looking back at her career, what would Helen have done differently? [7:18] Why Helen launched King Recruit after taking a break to have kids. [12:50] How Helen won a large account which helped grow their business drastically. [16:40] How to articulate your candidate's ROI to potential clients. [30:00] Helen's insights on scaling her team. [34:37] King Recruit's business model, why and how they partnered with Recruitment Entrepreneur. [41:37] How King Recruit doubled their turnover last year.   [47:07] Managing and motivating your team / the “build a business within the business” approach. [51:05] Helen reveals some hiring learning from the past and what their hiring process looks like today. [59:04] The pros and cons of hiring experienced recruiters. [1:02:00] Helen shares her adventure when she ran the Great Wall of China marathon. Articulating the ROI of Hiring Your Candidate One of Helen's incredible success stories is how they won a large account when they were just starting as a small business. On her 40th birthday, they signed up a fast-growing client with whom they ultimately placed over 200 people. You will hear from Helen how they won that account - including how they got their foot in the door. Helen revealed best practices for marketing your hot candidates and how to articulate the potential return-on-investment when presenting them to clients. The following takeaways were elaborated in our discussion: Wordsmithing. Use compelling subject lines when introducing your candidate. Identifying and communicating the quantifiable achievements of your candidate. Putting forth the value and result they can provide for the company. Bob Marshall's FAB presentation (Featur, Accomplishment, Benefit) How They Doubled Revenue Last Year Another key highlight of this interview is how they doubled their turnover last year and are on the way to again double their turnover this year, after partnering with Recruitment Entrepreneur. What were the key factors that led to this momentum? “Setting that bar higher,” is how it was described by Helen.  It involves understanding the P&L (Profit and Loss) in more detail, looking at performance per head, and being more strategic by using real-time data. Setting the bar higher and believing that it is achievable is what moves Helen's team. By joining the Recruitment Entrepreneur platform, Helen also found that it is far more achievable to reach the next level.  A Culture of Building a Business Within a Business Helen also fosters a culture of hiring highly motivated people and giving them the freedom to run their desk in their way. This culture of ‘building a business within a business does not in any way compromise the King Recruiting's way of doing things. As Helen explained, “It is not without systems and processes and vision.”  Helen is not a fan of micro-managing. They empower their recruiters in business development, marketing, and client approach so long as it is aligned with King Recruiting's way of working. This is also one of the reasons why they are more inclined to hire seasoned and mature recruiters - on which we discussed the pros and cons in this call.

Helen, never planned to work in schools, but her mum said she was bossy and liked organising things so why not be a teacher. Being a good daughter, Helen did what her mum said and became one! And a very good one she is too, because everything she does is for the benefit of the children she teaches. Now many decades after listening to her mum, Helen is sharing her wisdom with us, and, just like her mum, Helen is well worth listening to. In this episode we discuss ... How after some years teaching in a secondary school, Helen took a break from teaching, only to be persuaded back when visiting a Headteacher in a primary school who needed a teacher at short notice to take Year 6 in the summer term. Why this class was so challenging and how she made them teachable by focusing on the relationships she had with them. The importance of really caring for the children and letting them know you get them as a person. How putting a child in a suitcase (yes really!) transformed the way a boy perceived school and his teacher. Why being honest with children is so important, but that doesn't mean saying anything that's true. Have an internal question to ask yourself before speaking, such as, 'Would I say that to you if your parents/carers were at the door?' If the answer is no, don't say what you're thinking! Why it is OK to speak harshly to children occasionally, as long as you don't damage the relationship you have spent weeks building up. Is it a problem if children like you too much? How small things can make a massive difference to a child, such as persuading a nervous girl to perform in Bugsy Malone and how this transformed her belief in herself. Why tucking in your shirt raises expectations and achievement in the classroom. That although teachers have so much to do, there are some things that you can never let go of if you want high standards in your classroom. One thing for Helen was the phrase, 'Before you hand in your work, take a look at it and ask yourself, are you proud of it? If not go away and do it better.' Why there are some questions that children ask that you should never answer. How Helen and I became senior education professionals, despite being called 'a Jekyll and Hyde character' and 'a juvenile delinquent' by our teachers. What to do when children blame you for being unfair. Why sharing a bit of yourself with children, such as  how you feel as a teacher in the class, can be a very powerful way of shifting children's behaviour. The importance of being optimistic if you don't have an immediate impact with children. A Year 4 child has been alive for almost 80,000 hours and in the first half-term of the year you will have taught them for under 200 hours, which is a tiny proportion of their life, so change may hot happen quickly. Remember, especially on the bad days: Yes you can do it, and yes they do care.

On this episode of Second Act Actors, I take a break from talking with actors to connect with Helen Tansey, who transitioned from a career in modelling to become a full time photographer. Today, she's known for taking headshots of some of the most famous actors and celebrities, and she captures their essence in a unique and dynamic way. Her work has been featured on TV and in many magazines.   Helen and I dive into the topic of age discrimination, which is a problem everywhere but particularly in the film industry in North America. Helen launched a project to photograph women over the age of 40, whom she calls ‘Sundari Women', to showcase their beauty and to celebrate the process of ageing. As Helen says, fighting age discrimination starts with us and with refusing to be side-lined. Later, we talk about dealing with rejection, which is a constant problem of starting out as an actor. It's very difficult to give it your all in an audition and to be incredibly vulnerable in front of strangers and to still be turned away. Helen finds this vulnerability in actors to be a real gift, and they're some of her favourite clients to work with because they can be open and honest, even when they're struggling in their career. Listen out for Helen's tips on getting headshots for new actors, and subscribe to the podcast so that you don't miss an episode.Timestamps [2:07] How Helen started her second act of photography after being a model[4:00] What Helen gained from her modelling career[5:51] Setting the subject of the photo shoot at ease[8:31] What Helen does to keep her creative fires burning[10:50] Using meditation to become a better actor[15:30] “Fighting against age discrimination starts with us”[19:00] What surprised Helen about starting in a new industry[22:05] The only acting audition that Helen attended[22:52] Facing rejection as a new actor[26:25] Helen on working with actors[27:49] Advice on paving your way to a career transition[29:54] Helen's advice to new actors looking to get headshots[31:40] A solo song during a photoshoot[34:53] How Helen's family would describe her job  LinksSundari Photography websiteHelen on LinkedInHelen on InstagramThe Feminine Warrior Podcast Second Act Actors websiteSecond Act Actors on InstagramSecond Act Actors on FacebookSecond Act Actors on YouTube Janet McMordie websiteJanet McMordie on InstagramJanet McMordie on LinkedInJanet McMordie on Twitter Hosted on Acast.

This episode was part of the series of The Heart Work Podcast, which I tried out for a bit of time in 2021. I realized very soon, once I had delved into this podcast, that I was feeling called to rekindle and reconnect to Unravelling. The work of Unravelling is not done. What if all spiritual entrepreneurs felt safe enough to put their heart work out in to the world? In this episode with Soulful Confidence Coach Helen Hardware we are going straight to the point and un-picking the deep rooted fears around visibility in heart-centred businesses. Marketing and ‘putting ourselves out there' when we are sharing meaningful work can feel terrifying - and prevents many heart workers from sharing their amazing gifts. Helen Hardware is the Soulful Confidence Coach and helps spiritual entrepreneurs to have the confidence to be visible online by clearing their mindset blocks so that they feel unstoppable! Getting visible online can be scary; it's easy to worry about what other people might think, failing or not feel as good as others…. but it doesn't have to be that way. Helen helps her clients to find the root cause of their visibility fears both in this life and past lives, and connect to their higher self; to unleash their natural confidence and courage to get visible as their authentic self and make their unique impact on the world. In this episode we discuss… Helen's journey of unravelling the beliefs that kept her trapped and unable to pursue her dream, to now supporting others in removing some of the obstacles that might be holding them back. How to know when your soul is calling you to take a new direction in your life and work. How to make consistent lasting changes on a subconscious level and why Helen chooses Hypnotherapy as her method.    Some of the most common beliefs that we take on when it comes to business.

Today's show welcomes back running coach and biomechanist, Helen Hall.  Helen is the author of “Even With Your Shoes On”.  She is an endurance athlete, minimalist ultra-distance runner, 6 times Ironman and credited with being the world's first ‘barefoot' Iron(wo)man.  Helen is the owner of the Perpetual Forward Motion School of Efficient Running, as well as a running injury clinic, using the latest movement science and gait analysis technology to help people find solutions for their pain and injuries.  She appeared on episode 180 speaking on all things joint mechanics and technique in running. One of the most common things I hear (and have seen, especially in my club track years) about athletes is those who have a heavy heel strike when they run.  Excessive passive forces in athletic motion is never a good thing, but it's always important to understand binary concepts (you had a heel-strike or you didn't) in further detail.  There is a spectrum of potential foot strike positions in running, and nobody stays on their heel in gait, as we always move towards the forefoot. On the show today, Helen goes in depth on heel striking and the biomechanics of the heel in the running cycle, as well as the difference in heel striking motions in jogging versus sprinting.  One of the topics I frequently enjoy covering is how the human body can interact with nature and natural features to optimize itself (which includes optimizing running technique) and Helen speaks on how one can use uphill and downhill grades to help athletes and individuals self-organize their own optimal running technique.

Timestamps and Main Points 5:27 – Why Helen feels individuals heel strike in the first place 11:33 – Helen's “happy medium” when it comes to socks in running 14:28 – Helen's view on the heel bone and pronation in the initial strike in running 21:03 – How Helen would help an athlete who heel strikes in a sprint when it is not desired 29:28 – The importance of relaxation and “letting” the body move and react, versus trying to force the body into motion 38:41 – Nuances of using uphill and downhill running, what to notice, and how to integrate that into one's stride 45:29 – How un-even surfaces can create grounds by which individuals can self-organize their stride and foot action 48:35 – How to leverage hills to optimize the function of the glutes in running “I never change somebody's first point of contact; their bodies change their first point of contact themselves” “There can't be a right or wrong, since there are so many people whose first point of contact is the heel, and they are not in pain” “If you land in front of the heel, then you get the eccentric loading of the Achilles and what it attaches to” “People decide they are in “this camp” or “that camp” and thereby the camps run parallel to each other and never exchange ideas” “You want to be landing, not in a pronating foot.. in the context of running… the descent is arguably a posteriorly tilted calcaneus because you are landing in a supinating foot… unless your foot is going to go “splat” immediately” “You want to land on a foot that is relaxed enough to give” “They are reaching for the step, and by reaching on the step through hip flexion, they are ending up on their heel first, and that may be giving them more control as they go through the forefoot” “In my experience, people do not go back to the heel-strike, and all you need is a slope (to correct it)” “If you want to slow down, the most natural thing in the world is to shove your foot out, and brake with your heel”

Helen Joyce is a journalist at "The Economist" and is the author of the book "Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality." During our conversation, Helen discusses the pernicious effects of the gender identity movement: the sterilization of children, the cultural incentives that encourage kids to question their sex, the regret that many with gender dysphoria have after sex reassignment surgery, that the vast majority of people who experience gender dysphoria are gay, rather than trans, why female-only spaces matter to women, and the public shaming of and attempts to silence those who disagree with the activist ideology.‌‌------------Support this podcast via VenmoSupport this podcast via PayPalSupport this podcast on Patreon------------Show notesLeave a rating on SpotifyLeave a rating on Apple Podcasts------------(00:00) Intro(03:06) What led Helen into writing her book, "Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality"(04:06) Helen on how she dealt with resistance to asking questions as a journalist(07:14) How Helen feels about pushbacks to open journalism and how she believes we should fight it(09:51) What are the consequences of changing a society where gender is a matter of choice, rather than a matter of biology?(17:12) Helen talks about her research for her book(18:10) Understanding gender dysphoria(19:54) The possible reasons why kids feel they don't belong to their gender(22:01) Helen cites the example of a female who underwent a full medical procedure and hysterectomy to become male - only to later realize that she was lesbian(28:52) Why most gender non-conforming children are likely to be gay(34:04) What happens when children are given puberty blockers?(40:16) The consequences of California allowing its prison inmates to decide their gender(45:37) Helen talks about gender literature in different countries(46:52) What is transphobia?(48:51) Why it's essential to be clear about biological reality for child safeguarding(52:59) What is the right way to think about matters of gender?(01:05:40) Helen explains thought control, thought termination, self-censorship(01:08:42) The narrative of progress is bringing marginalized groups in from the cold - and how this is unlike other social justice movements(01:13:04) Helen's three bits of advice for journalists who are committed to open discussion and open debate(01:14:13) Why your employer is your point of weakness when you're a journalist or an academic(01:19:13) Helen talks about her friend and researcher Maya Forstater, who lost her job due to social media backlash(01:23:01) Where Helen thinks we are in terms of the policing of conversations and dialogue(01:32:03) What is free speech, according to Helen?(01:34:37) Writers, thinkers, public intellectuals, and groups who believe in an open exchange of ideas and information

Recently I had a conversation that I had been looking forward to for a long time. I was delighted to have the opportunity to chat with Author Helen Hamilton. Helen is a spiritual teacher and after struggling through her own awakening several years ago she was driven by the urge to simplify awakening for all beings. “I just sat with this fear, and I didn’t try to defend myself against it… the strongest fear I’d ever felt, but there was this bliss too and peace, and I didn’t even think it was possible to feel those things at the same time. And I really got in that moment that it’s not fear itself, it’s just an energy… I was experiencing my thoughts about this fear and if I stopped that, which I can step out of in a moment with a question… that it was really just a set of intense sensations running through the body when I wasn’t resisting them. It changed everything for me.” ~ Helen Hamilton During this episode we chat about: - What exactly it means to be awakened. - How Helen overcame her fears and anxieties and now lives free of fear and worry. - Why you don’t have to go into isolation or spend time fasting to become awakened. - The role of beliefs in the awakening process. - The practicalities of living an awakened life and being a mother. - The process of deepening and continuous peace and bliss. - How Angels and ascended beings are helping us to awaken. - Increasing vitality and energy & why Helen no longer feels the need to protect her energy. - Improved relationships and how it’s hard for others to be negative when around an awakened person. - How self-inquiry can help in the awakening process. - Getting lost in identification and how every awakened being has been through the same thing. - Desire and manifestation as an awakened being. And so much more!! If you only listen to one episode of the Fiercely Spiritual Podcast this year, let this be the one! “That’s our gift to the world, to live an abundant life as best we can, to show others that it’s possible.” ~ Helen Hamilton If you are an empath who wants to connect with your Angels, register for my free training on how to get clear Angel guidance each day: http://sandrarea.com/angels

Your recruiting clients are increasingly aware of the commercial benefits of recruiting a diverse workforce. That means they will soon expect and require their recruitment partners to be capable of delivering a diverse shortlist. Merely claiming to be a champion of D&I isn't enough -- clients want to see evidence that you have a process in place to deliver diverse talent. The recruiters who are able to demonstrate this capability will differentiate themselves in the marketplace and steal a march on their competitors. To discuss how recruiters can achieve this, I invited entrepreneur Helen McGuire to join me on The Resilient Recruiter podcast. Helen is the CEO and Co-Founder of Diversely.io, an end-to-end hiring platform that uses tech to reduce bias in the hiring process for businesses. As an award-winning entrepreneur in the diversity space, she founded the first women's careers platform in the Middle East – Hopscotch – in 2016, which grew to a worldwide community of over 80,000 working with businesses like Facebook, Mastercard and Nestle, and expanding to Singapore in 2018. Helen began her career in London, achieving her dream role at BBC Radio 1 in her early twenties producing award-winning shows for the likes of John Peel, Mary Anne Hobbs and Gilles Peterson. Concurrently, Helen presented her own monthly radio programme - Join The-Dots - airing in over 15 countries globally, DJ'd and wrote for top music publications and travelled the world interviewing artists. Helen was the first female resident DJ at Club 360 in Dubai and still occasionally DJ's to this day. Episode Outline and Highlights [2:00] Helen shares how they were awarded HRM Asia's Top 3 Tech Start-Ups 2020. [4:15] How to check your diversity score online. [6:00] Approaching the diversity space from a technology perspective. [12:08] Unconscious bias - why should we care?  [14:51] Sourcing - how to attract more candidates by changing your language [19:24] How Helen turned a massive idea into a product. [25:06] Helen shares the process of getting funding for her business  [32:18] Helen reveals by far the biggest challenge that she had to overcome. [40:15] Juggling your tasks - starting a business and having a work-life balance. Approaching the Diversity Space - from a Technology Point of View Working in the diversity space for about six years, Helen shared what drove her passion. When she had her first baby in 2014, she very quickly realized that a lot of women (colleagues, friends) were frustrated and had to end their career - for the reason that employers could not think a little more outside the box and offer flexible working schedules to their tenured female staff members.  This moved her to create an award-winning women's careers platform - Hopscotch. The initial aim was to find women more flexibility in their careers but ended up being helpful to women of all professions. Growing rapidly, the platform gained around 80,000 in their network! With this initiative, Helen had three realizations: Diversity around women - not everybody was open to thinking about things differently The impact of unconscious bias - not only women are affected Despite the reach, she felt that she is only making a very minimal impact This lead Helen to look for a deeper and wide-ranging solution to address the above problem. Diversity in Sourcing - Adapting your Language Here is something really interesting. Did you know that during sourcing, changing your language can attract 70% more diverse candidates and twice as many candidates with the skillset that you're looking for? Here is how Helen explained it: “Think about it from a day to day perspective. If you are speaking to your grandma, if you are speaking to a child, if you are speaking to your boss, if you are speaking to your friends, you don't use the same language right? You don't talk to them in exactly the same way. You use language that they understand, that helps you to have a conversation with them, that helps you to have something in common with them. The same is true when you're sourcing.” Listen to what else she said to support this fantastic concept and how to adapt your language to your potential candidates. Helen McGuire Bio and Contact Info Helen McGuire is the CEO and Co-Founder of Diversely.io, an end-to-end hiring platform that uses tech to reduce bias in the hiring process for businesses. To scale the impact of her work Helen joined the renowned tech start-up accelerator programme, Antler, in January 2020 and the idea for Diversely was born. Joining forces with her Diversely co-founder and CPO, Hayley Bakker, in April of the same year, the vision for the company is to reduce workplace bias for all those from under-represented groups - not just women – by creating a scalable, global solution through the use of AI-driven tech. The company successfully completed its pre-seed round in November of 2020 and has a five-strong team working to deliver online solutions for its clients in beta, with a full launch expected in Q2 2021. Helen's focus is on the marketing, content and sales side of the business and she regularly speaks globally on the topics of diversity, equality and inclusion. Helen is also a mother of three young children - Clementine (6), Arlo (4) and Iris (2) and lives with her husband, Justin, and their English bulldog, Percy, in Singapore. She is a passionate speaker, writer and photographer, a proud part-time vegan and loves fashion, horses and travel.

If you’ve felt that disconnect when getting moving again after your cancer treatment — your heart wants you to be where you were before, your head has reservations about getting started, but your body is like, “Hey! Kinda been through some stuff over here!” — and feeling frustrated that exercise doesn’t look like you thought it would, then you’re going to love this month’s series on fitness in survivorship. Over the next 5 weeks I’m going to introduce you to some great options to get moving again that you may not have even considered, and flipping the idea of exercise from something daunting to something fun that you want to come back to again and again.   Today I’m joined by USA Pickleball Ambassador, founder of Breakthrough Community Sports, Inc., owner of Pickleball 4 Life, LLC, senior athlete, and breast cancer survivor, Helen M. White. She believes in the power of playing sports for all and is passionate about sharing the joys of pickleball with others. Get ready to be inspired by Helen this week and head out to try some pickleball! We’re diving into: Helen’s own breast cancer journey with invasive ductal carcinoma at age 64 The fun way she took control over her frequent radiation treatment to help her get through it with a positive mindset How Helen worked through the anger she felt around her diagnosis and moved into a positive, uplifted space Her experience with APBI (accelerated partial breast irradiation) The “gotcha” Helen didn’t expect after treatment and how she managed it Her favorite tip for making frequent blood draws easier How Helen and I each weighed the pros and cons of AI (aromatase inhibitor) treatment and what declining it has meant for us Possible side effects of AI treatment and how movement can benefit you if you are affected by them The key diet change that occurred for Helen as a result of her cancer journey Where pickleball got its name (no, it has nothing to do with actual pickles!) and why it’s been a life-saver for Helen during her recovery (and it’s a COVID friendly sport, too!) Why pickleball is adaptable to where YOU are in your own fitness journey and is a great low-impact, fun activity to help you get active again   Continue the conversation in my free private Facebook group, Surviving is JUST the Beginning: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SurvivingisJUSTtheBeginning/

Helen Brown's captivating story telling has created an international phenomenon, a family life narrative on the healing power of cats which leavens grief with comedy. Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and today Helen talks about the journey which has seen her books published in 18 countries, and explains how a cat became a metaphor for life. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: How Helen migrated from journalism to fiction The tragedy that brought her close to her readers What her readers have taught her How a mini 'mid life crisis' led to an international best seller Why her next project is a children's story The part she'd like to see Chris Hemsworth play. Where to find Helen Brown:  Website: https://www.helenbrown.com.au/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Helen.Brown.International.Author Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/helenbrownauthor/ What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. Jenny: But now, here's Helen. .  Hello there Helen and welcome to the show, it's great to have you with us. Helen: It's a pleasure to be here Jenny. Helen Brown international best selling author Jenny: I usually start by asking the  “Once Upon A Time” question - how did you come to write fiction?  But I know in your case your work has always had a very strong element of personal memoir.   And you've developed these books into a unique series which marries story telling with memoir...  Can you tell us a little about of how that happened? Helen: Well, I think it goes back to basic story telling. I started writing columns maybe forty years ago, and my readers always taught me actually what worked for them. If I wrote a column that touched them, they would write me letters back, and it was so often about something very trivial. They guided me really towards stories they wanted to hear, and they were so often emotional stories about ordinary life that we all shared. I was writing those columns, and they were 750 words roughly for many years. When we moved to Australia, I actually couldn't get a job over here. Nobody had heard of me, and nobody really wanted me and I didn't have the confidence or something. So I thought - well, I kind of know what touches readers; maybe I'll have a go at spinning out to a larger concept. I knew from experience that talking about the loss of my son and the way that our cat had helped us; those stories really got big reactions from readers. So I thought - and it was actually at the same time- the cat that had helped us when Sam died - that cat died itself at the age of nearly 24. Phil, my second husband was burying the cat under the Daphne bush in the garden. And Rob, who was Sam's younger brother, and had seen him run over back in 1983, said "there goes the last connection with Sam". I thought - maybe the story hasn't finished being told. I need to tell the story in full. It was a big exercise and I really wasn't sure if it was working. Every publisher that I sent the idea to assured me that is wasn't working! And then I tried several agents who were also not at all impressed. One of them said, "you know, nobody wants to read a book in which a child dies". So I thought; OK...who are these people who read books? In real life, children die, and in real life when my child was run over in 1983, the best consolation I got was from other parents who had lost children. They wrote to me, and you know I didn't know anyone who had lost a child. But because of writing about it in my column, they approached me with these wonderful letters and cards which were the best grief counselling that was available in 1983. Cleo - Helen Brown They were basically saying you know, this happened to us; it was the worst thing that ever happened to us, but we survived. We're still here, and we want to tell you that we'll get through this.

These two sports psychologists may have different areas they focus on, but they both love to run; Dr Helen Lane and Professor Andy Lane both race marathons, have run over 200 parkruns and even enjoy ultra marathons. This means they get the running struggles we go through and how important the mental side of training the mind is to racing well. Helen and Andy have both worked with professional athletes to help them reach their potential, as well as teaching runners psychological skills training techniques such as imagery, anxiety regulation, and emotion regulation. If you love learning more about the mind, and how we can learn to handle the negative thoughts that go through our mind when we are in the hard part of a race, you will love this husband and wife episode, where there is a lot of humor and fast talking British and New Zealand accents, be ready to listen, and be ready to learn! Today’s Guests Dr Helen Lane has a PhD in attitudes to eating among exercisers. She has authored several articles including the commonly used measure of mood called the The Brunel Mood Scale and a version of the Eating Attitude Test. Andy Lane has a PhD and is BASES accredited sport and exercise scientist, a fellow of BASES, Chartered by the British Psychological Society, and a psychologist registered with the Health Professionals Council. What you will learn about: How Helen and Andy met, and if they psychoanalyze one another  What Andy has learned in the 100 peer reviewed journal articles he has worked on The powerful impact of sad or depressed thoughts and how it can really affect your ability to run well How important it is to go for a run if you are in a difficult period of your life Why the fear of failure is not necessary a bad thing, and how to limit the pressure you feel for a race when you have told so many people you are going the race Why you should have some kind of effort involved with you goals, rather than exclusively time goals Why EVERYONE has a self confidence issue, and why knowing that makes us feel like we are not alone How we are all connected emotionally to food, and guilt can be present even while we are eating food we enjoy The relationship between food and performance, and how runners can be affected by a need to be thin The strategies to use to get through the hardest parts of the race, including imagery of a runner you admire (really interesting!) Running with music can actually help you run faster if you find the right rhythm What to do if you have a bad race; how jumping in another race COULD be a good idea, in the right circumstance  Why having a break after a great race will help you to reassess and think up a new goal, if you go back into it without much rest, you are going to struggle   Inspirational Quotes: You get trapped in the event. You might be the expert, but you are still trapped in the event. You do need to hold back when you are giving advice out, and it is difficult to take advice as well, no matter how well intended it is.-Andy Lane A small mark of depression can lead to all sorts of devastating or negative results that go on from that.-Andy Lane Everybody needs a bag of tricks to identify and use in the dark moments.-Andy Lane Your emotions are evolutionary functions to tell you what is important- Andy Lane Human beings are competitive, so we have competed with ourself by saying that (a time we want), so we can easily think we are failures.-Helen Lane Everyone underneath has an underlining self esteem issue, they are not confident in all situations- Helen Lane Everyone has a little bit of an emotional problem with eating; they eat when they are stressed, bored, not when they are hungry, overeat in social settings...we all have this awareness with food, almost a preoccupation with food.-Helen Lane If I look at social media, I would not know what to eat.- Andy Lane If you want to find an angry person, find a hungry person!- Andy Lane Rethink what fatigue means. Fatigue is an indicator you are working hard. It is not to be feared, it is accepting that you are working hard.- Andy Lane It is very difficult to get from the very highs and maintain those highs, it's unlikely you are going to have another Olympic Gold Medal winning moment two months after.-Andy Lane Resources: Last week's episode with Dean Karnazes Subscribe to the Running for Real Podcast on your favorite player: Apple Podcasts (iTunes) Stitcher Castbox Overcast Spotify Google Play Tina4Real Podcast  Running for Real Superstars Community Support Tina through her Patreon Page Buy a Running for Real T-shirt, Tank, or Hat Andy on Twitter Helen on Twitter Winning Lane website Chrissie Wellington interview Paul Sinton Hewitt interview Check out the Running for Real Podcast Series, sponsoring this episode today: Beginners Mental Toughness Training Marathon Training Coming Back From Injuries Running Nutrition Running Through and After Pregnancy   Thanks for Listening!

The accident left Helen a widow in her early thirties with three young children to raise. Since then, Helen has been tirelessly committed to changing the mining industry for the better. Helen was kind enough to sit down and tell me her story in detail. We talked about her early years, the accident involving her husband and what she did in the aftermath. We touched on dealing with grief, how workplace safety is changing, and her experience as a speaker and advocate over the last 20 years.   Listen to the full episode to hear Helen's story, plus all of this too: How Helen has turned tragedy into triumph The benefits of speaking out Pros and cons of quantity-based incentives What inspired Helen to take legal action after her husband's death Helen's early years and how it shaped her life What makes Helen angry about workers' comp rules How mining accident victim's legacies are not well enough protected Why more compassion is needed in mining What makes Helen nervous about mining today   Links: Personal website LinkedIn Just a Number

Helen Rebello, is the founder of The Tranquil Path, which is all about empowering soulful female entrepreneurs, whose work no longer lights them up, to move towards living & working in a way that feeds their soul, expresses who they came here to be, and impacts positively upon the world - without selling their soul to busyness! Very often referred to by her clients as the Queen of Mellow because she takes them from chaos to calm. How lovely is that? When I asked Helen what three words sum up her entrepreneurial journey so far she said: Enlightening. Accidental. Liberating. What you’ll learn by listening to this episode: How Helen left behind a practice which she had built up for 13 years, to move to the countryside and it was the best decision she ever made. A very healthy appreciation of life is what keeps Helen going each day, which isn't to say that she doesn't get derailed at times! Showing up and being seen and sharing her truth and even speaking from my heart, because we are not taught to do that has been her biggest challenges. The marketing and business learning has come later on in her business as she switched from an offline to an online business. Helen's number one practice for keeping her grounded is meditation, which didn't come easily but is now a daily habit. Investing in her own personal development is the best decision Helen has ever made because her life and work are completely intertwined.

“Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re always going to fail.” - Helen Guo In this episode of Nat Chat we have Helen Guo. Helen attended Georgetown University and was on a pretty typical path until the last minute. She’d interned with and accepted a full time offer from the investment bank Morgan Stanley, and then right before she would have started working with them, she reneged on her offer and decided to work for herself instead. Since then, she started a company providing on the go phone charging around NYC, doing healthy food delivery, and now most recently, designing and selling a low calorie low carb pasta. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but she explains how she’s been able to make that work in the interview. We covered a lot in this episode, including: Helen’s experience during and after college working for herself How she started pursuing these kinds of projects How she’s been able to systematically meet accomplished people in her field How she’s maintained a good relationship with her parents who were against this career shift And the emotional challenges that come from this kind of work and how to handle them Please enjoy, and reach out to Helen on Instagram or LinkedIn!

Helen Zaltzman - The Queen of British Podcasting What a great pleasure to welcome the wonderful Helen Zaltzman onto Podcast Divas.  Helen is without doubt one of the most accomplished and long serving podcasters in the UK (and world) and thoroughly deserving of the ‘queen of British podcasting’ title I’ve bestowed on her here. Helen says of herself; ‘I make podcasts: mainly Answer Me This! and The Allusionist, part of Radiotopia. I sometimes turn up on the radio; I write stuff; and I make things.’ This typically modest description belies the fact Answer Me This is a multi award-winning show, one of the longest running British podcasts and an iTunes classic, and the Allusionist was an iTunes show of the year 2015. ‘For so many years that I’ve been podcasting it was not a thing that people recognised, not just as a job, but as a thing!’ Helen has what many of us would consider the perfect job – she gets paid for podcasting. It was a joy to talk to Helen about her experience of podcasting over many years and thoughts about possible future directions. Listen in for many insights, observations and lessons, whether you’re a longtime podcaster or just getting started. ‘I could be a bloke with a recorder.’ There’s simply so much good stuff in this interview it’s hard to pull out the good bits without ending up with a massive long list – so just listen, enjoy and learn. But here’s a taster of what you’ll hear: How Helen got into podcasting way back when How having a musician physicist for a husband proved useful How Helen taught herself the mysteries of the RSS feed What Answer Me This is about and how it’s changed (or not) since January 2007 The beauty of audience generated content Why a successful show is created in the edit How long it takes to edit Helen’s shows and the editing rule of thumb The sexist world of radio presenters What ‘Sound Women’ is all about How Helen got involved with Radiotopia and came to make The Allusionist What’s The Allusionist and why it’s Helen’s best ever job in spite of the challenges a show like this presents The different ways Helen monetizes her podcast What has kept Helen podcasting for such a long time What podcasting’s done for Helen The potential future of podcasting Podcasting in the US and UK and getting non US voices heard Podcasting and the BBC ‘I think a lot of people think starting is the hard thing, but it’s a lot less hard than carrying on… Don’t want to put you off.’ Advice for podcasters and Divas-in-waiting Just get on with it.  ‘There are so many reasons not to do something but just ignore them.’ ‘Don’t worry about it being perfect.’ That stops people wanting to do creative pursuits.  They’ve heard shows and they want to be as good as the shows they like straight away, and that’s not how that happened.  The shows you like started out not very good as well.’ Just have a go and keep doing it. Set a schedule because then you have to keep going and it’s that regular practice that forms the habits. Persistence is key. ‘Try the biggest idea you can, then figure out how you can make it workable…How imaginative can you make it within the technological and time resources you have.’  Helen’s favourite episodes The Allusionist: Episode 25 on Toki Pona, a minimalist invented language Helen tried to learn (with difficulty) that impacted her psyche but she still thought was fun http://www.theallusionist.org/allusionist/tokipona Answer Me This: Pick any episode at random or episode 200 featuring their families ‘Everything benefits from a bit of an edit.’ A Podcast Diva Helen likes listening to Criminal with Phoebe Judge  ‘Now there are so many podcasts, I think people should think very hard before they launch one, whether it’s a worthwhile use of internet – and their own time.’ Where to find Helen Zaltzman Helen on Twitter @HelenZaltzman Helen's website: helenzaltzman.com 'Answer Me This' podcast  'The Allusionist' podcast  ‘I think it takes a long time to make a bad podcast so it doesn’t take much more time to make a good one.’  Thank you Thanks to Helen for being a fabulous and fun guest and to you for listening and being here.  If you enjoyed the show it would be great to let Helen and I know, and help get the word out by sharing it and leaving a review on iTunes.
