Next Episode: How to Maximize Your Productivity and Impact with Intentional Planning

In this episode, she shares why she bailed on Hollywood to pursue building her own company and helping others share their story.

She’s become an expert in preparing people to make the most out of their moments on the mainstage. We also discussed our mutual love for Laura Belgray, why it’s so important to ALWAYS listen to your intuition, and be bold and brave enough to shed our people-pleasing tendencies!

Memorable quotes:

“Start with your message. Start with your content.”

“Oftentimes people will get caught in a people-pleasing place...those scripts never work out.”

“I want you to pick the topic that you are so lit up about even if you think that no one will be interested in it.”

“There’s always an audience for everything.”

“Pick the thing you’re passionate about. At the end of the day, your excitement for that topic is what will propel you forward, especially when the process gets hard.”

I highly recommend you follow Helena on Instagram and TikTok! She’s always posting super valuable information and tips to help you be a better speaker.
