This week, I’m joined by Helen Eimers for a conversation about the hidden beliefs, energy leaks, and patterns that may be keeping us stuck. Helen is also my sister-in-law and one of the very first guests I ever had on the podcast, so it was a special treat to welcome her back for a second conversation. We explore why so many high-achieving women find themselves exhausted despite doing all the “right” things, how self-sabotage often stems from parts of ourselves that simply want to be seen, and why healing isn’t about fixing or erasing our wounds. Helen shares her perspective on building capacity from the inside out, the role of self-compassion in lasting change, and how gratitude, curiosity, and learning to receive support can help us create more energy, fulfillment, and freedom in our lives.
