So thankful I am the host of my own podcast & can make last minute pivots about topics . I had a topic planned and then I saw something that shifted my entire focus and I decided * boop *, new topic, in that moment! On this episode of talking life honestly, we are talking about being grounded . Life is always throwing a curveball at us and the more we understand ourselves, the more confident w...

DISCLAIMER: HUMAN EPISODE. Listen at your own risk, LOL. This episode is everywhere and in the same place, at the same time. Thank you in advance for deciding to listen. <3. Nonethelesss, I hope you were able to still gather a gem or two and if nothing else, able to appreciate the honesty of the vibe in this episode. Xoxo, HonestlyHelen

Another one in the books and you know what? I may be getting the hang of solo hosting, I’m not hating it as much. On today’s episode I talk about the way we show our change is through actions, and not just actions, consistent actions. The human experience is so vast that I doubt we are even remotely close to understanding how to really exist as efficiently as we could because we place limits on ou...

Another Monday, another episode! Whew, is it just me or is time flying like there is no time for anything ?! Aye! Nonetheless, time or not enough time, on this episode of Talking Life Honestly, we talk showing up! There was an incident that happened that made me just think of how we show up as people. How does how we show up impact where we show up? What does it look like when no-one is watching?...

Can I just say, these solo dolo episodes are a different type of recording for sure haha. I promise I am still having guests, just adjusting when I don’t. Nonetheless, in this episode I talk about life expectations from a general lens. As a woman who has some seasoning to her now, I can say one of the things about life is that expectations can get us in trouble. Especially if we aren’t clear about...

Digital Boundaries! Have you heard of it? Do you have any? This world is even crazier than it was before and it's being recorded in real time more than ever. Which means we have access to some pretty intense media and how we choose to consume that media is important. What you choose to watch every day with endless scrolling impacts the way you think which impacts the way you show up and we kno...

I promise I am not playing in y’alls faces with these episodes 😩. February was an adventurous month and then March was here…and time got away from me; so instead of allowing stressing about the late-ness, I embraced it...and maybe a little too long, apologies. Nonetheless, BACK and with the same honest energy and wanted to share some insights or epiphanies as one may call them during my absence....

The urban dictionary's definition of Self made: when someone who acquires their wealth/success on their own and do not inherit or win it. It takes time and persistence to become successful and if you've put in the work then that's declared self made. In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking to my girl Yashica, who is a fellow Podcaster (and black woman!) for the first episode of...

Being a podcaster has sharpened my ability to public speak, however it never beats having someone also be a natural in-front of a mic to help make for a beautiful conversation. In this episode, I welcome my girl Ashton back and this time we talk intentionality which led us to the importance of the decisions we make. Life is unpredictable and we get one shot at it; we don't know half of what we sho...

THANK YOU in advance for bearing through the tech issues during this episode 🥲, One thing tech is gonna do, is tech when it wants to 😒! What I will say is this was probably one of my calmest vibes recorded LOL and on this day Dara and I were both more mellow than our usual selves–that didn’t stop the show as you know ;) In this episode I got the pleasure of recording with one of my first friends...

I would be lying if I said I wasn't just a little anxious about posting this episode. Religion is a sensitive topic and I honestly never thought I'd do a religious topic on the HH podcast because I did have Church trauma. However, when the stars align and things kind of just work out; you trust the process. I had the pleasure of talking Church & God with one of my dearest friends, Jere...

It’s tiiiimmmmeeeee (in my MC voice!) Season 8 is officially here! To start this season off, I wanted to just talk with ya’ll, catch you up on some things and thoughts of mine, nothing too crazy. This season I have some great topics outlined and can’t wait to get the right people to speak on them. I can’t thank YOU enough for your support of the HonestlyHelen Podcast whether it be a listen or a sh...

& this episode wraps up another HonestlyHelen Season, Blagicals! During this season, life has been so full of growth opportunities for me that I can only feel Blessed, Grateful, Loved, Challenged, all of it! On this episode, I talk about Secret Sauce and how that looks for me professionally and personally. It's up to YOU, to show up for YOU, and more importantly, up to YOU, to show up authenticall...

Happy Julyteenth! 🖤❤️💛😌 Here we are again with the Birthday Twin, Jay! Jay is one of my guests who has been on the HH podcast the most because he has always been a supporter of the HH movement, so genuinely, thank you Jay, for being such a steady and honest supporter. The beauty of having a podcast that isn’t confined to a conversation agenda will always be appreciating the fluidity of conversa...

Happy Juneteenth! 🤎🖤💚💛❤️. "Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom under the Emancipation Proclamation, more than two years after it was issued." You are loved. You are special. You are Blagical.

On the last day of May, I HAD to make sure I got this episode published before the month ended. May is mental health awareness month and y'all know how sometimes, things just align? Well this topic and this guest, was just that. I had the pleasure of talking about Mental Health with Hir, who is an amazingly fierce woman that has helped herself and has a heart of gold! In this episode we take a non...

Another one in the books! And listen, remind me not to use my headphones to record again because my audio I sound far away and not at the same time, yet I had my headphones on? HOWEVER, the audio is still there so we're gonna keep it moving. This was such a good conversation and I think with the best person to talk to about it. On this episode, I had the pleasure of FINALLY recording with my cousi...

Apologies this is getting to y’all late this Monday, however just know it was recorded and edited before this Monday and I’m gonna take that W, okay? Okaaay! Nonetheless, another amazing episode for the books; I brought back Lien from Season 3 to talk Respect & Relationships! This episode is a little longer than expected however that just means you get more gems to pick up and more honest conversa...

I couldn't figure out how to add the into music but we got a Shenanigans! Happy April, fam <3

APOLOGIES on the delay, ya girl was out sick and not up for editing! ~~~ Ooooh we got us a goodie; I always love a good back and forth paired with some enlightening. In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jeremy about the state of the world under our current President Administration. I am not a politician or even know politics thoroughly, however I don't think that should stop anyone...

Had to pivot for this episode as I had a guest and then life happened! It's a new month though and y'all know we like to set goals or finish goals when we have a clear deadline. So make it shake, accomplish some things, learn something new, be a go-getter! I talk some on this new administration American has, your health, and practicing better habits for improvement, not perfection. As alwa...

"Sometimes you just got to pop out and show ni...." hahah, the lyrics ain't wrong tho... Another episode in the books yall, and this one feels like a shenanigans so I hope the vibes feel like deja-vu. I may have opened this episode all in my feelings about my man 🤣 (Valentines weekend so it is on brand but I also wanted to just brag one time for the one time, respectfully) however,...

The way I love having wholesome conversations, yall already know!!! On this episode, Tania was on the podcast for a few years (Season 5 and pronounced TAN-YA), host of the Notorious Momz podcast, joined me for an amazing conversation about Self ____ and how it impacts our lives. I will forever be humbled how Podcast has introduced me to some really amazing people that then in turn have honest conv...

Accessibility. Whew, in the great words of my girl Yashica, "don't stay on the merry go round and make yaself sick." If you aren't aware (shame on you! (jk) but not) I am a co-host on another podcast called ReBrandUs every Wednesday streaming on Youtube and/or Facebook! ReBrandUs was on the show a few seasons ago and I am so grateful and blessed to be able to have them back for another amazing epi...

Happy 2025 to all the Blagical tribe! We made it another year and hopefully make this year an even better one. My 2024 ended in an abnormal way that let me know 2025 is going to be about perspective and being intentional. This opening episode is a soft launch into the new season! It is a solo episode but we know that doesn't stop these gems from getting dropped! I recap my 2024 and get right into...
