Helen Harrison believes that pain holds the seeds of purpose, and she has spent 17 years guiding people through life’s highs and lows. In this episode of Think Out Loud With Me, she shares her personal journey from grief to growth, the lessons she learned about adoption, loss, and suicide, and the transformative power of joy -- all carefully woven together in her recently-released memoir, Inner Wealth: From Pain to Purpose. Through her coaching work and now the expanding circle of readers who are tapping into her lived experience, she helps others turn their own struggles into fuel for resilience and healing.

This was such an easy, fulfilling conversation! Dive in and listen as Helen joins me from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, to wonder with me on many topics:

🌿 From Pain to Power – How life’s deepest wounds can shape our greatest strength and mental health resilience.

💫 The Alchemy of Healing – Transmuting grief, loss, and trauma into wisdom, purpose, and a return home to Self.

🏡 Adoption, Identity & Belonging – Finding yourself when the roots of where you come from are tangled in questions.

🕊 Suicide, Silence & Speaking Truth – Breaking the silence around loss, mental health, and the weight of unspoken stories.

🔥 The Sacred Art of Laughter – Why joy isn’t just lighthearted—it’s a lifeline, a healer, and a revolution.

🛤 Coaching as a Compass – Helen’s guiding philosophy for navigating the wild terrain of self-discovery and healing.

🌎 Spirituality as an Anchor – Holding onto something bigger, grounding yourself in meaning when life feels unsteady.

Helen’s story is proof that even our darkest moments can shape our greatest impact. Tune in now! 🎙

What if the smallest shifts could lead to the biggest transformations?

In this LIVE episode of Think Out Loud With Me, I sit down with Colleen Avis, bestselling author of the Sacred Spaces series, the 3rd volume of which hit Amazon yesterday and is a #1 BESTSELLER IN MULTIPLE CATEGORIES. When she's not leading such an impactful charge, she's an intuitive guide and space curator, and she's joined me to talk about how intentional environments shape our emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being.

Says Colleen early in our exchange, "I always say, if you have a mess under your bed, you probably have a mess in your mind. If your car is cluttered, chances are there’s clutter in your thoughts too. Our spaces—internal and external—are deeply intertwined. The power of a subtle shift is that whether you make it in your environment, your mindset, or your body, it ripples through everything."

🌀 How subtle, mindful shifts create profound change
🌀 The connection between our inner and outer spaces
🌀 Soul-level work: Big P-Purpose or little p-purpose
🌀 Why decluttering isn’t just about your home—it’s about your energy
🌀 Simple ways to create Sacred Spaces in daily life

And I open up about my own healing journey—specifically, the deeply personal work of reclaiming my womb space—which I share in a separate expert collaboration, Shaman Heart: We Are the Ones We've Been Waiting For (Chapter 26!), that is set for release on Amazon in early March.

This episode is a must-listen if you're ready to shift your space, shift your energy, and shift your life.
