Ep. 8: The Power of Allowing

In this solo episode, Helen explores something many of us struggle with but rarely talk about openly: the power of allowing.

For years, control can feel like safety, especially when life has taught us that things are unpredictable, unstable, or scarce. But what happens when the very thing that once protected us begins to limit us?

Helen shares a deeply personal journey through fear, money stories from childhood, worries about work and AI, and the moment she realized that gripping tighter wasn’t the answer. Instead, she discovered the quiet strength of softening, surrendering, and trusting what unfolds.

Through four gentle steps, noticing, understanding, releasing, and learning to trust. Helen offers reflection, compassion, and practices that help create space for something new to enter.

This isn’t about giving up.

It’s about letting go, with love, and allowing life to meet us.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, controlling, or afraid of the unknown… this conversation is for you.
