She channels her passion through the endeavours of Creative Grace (IG: @creative.grace___) and works as a freelance writer, editor, and consultant. More than that, she’s a wonderful human being with an energy that felt like it was radiating throughout our episode; Helen’s openness to share some of her own personal story, what motivates her, and how she tends to her own needs, makes for a profound and encouraging episode.
