Empowering Mothers with Helen Parker of The Babes Project

In this inspiring episode of The Glitter Effect, we sit down with Helen Parker, founder of The Babes Project — a life-changing initiative built on the belief that every woman deserves dignity, support, and empowerment through pregnancy and early parenting. What began as Helen’s deeply personal journey — navigating unexpected pregnancy as a young woman — has evolved into a powerful movement creating safe spaces, practical programs, and real community for mothers across Australia. From its grassroots beginnings to national recognition, including Helen’s Order of Australia Medal, The Babes Project continues to transform lives through compassion, courage, and connection. Helen opens up about her story: how a moment of vulnerability became the spark for systemic change, why true support means more than just baby essentials, and how walking alongside women through one of life’s most transformative seasons has shaped her purpose. Join us as we explore how one woman’s vision became a movement — and how the ripple effect of kindness can change generations. ✨ Tune in to hear: Helen’s journey from architecture student to changemaker.
