from HER STORY IN FOCUS - THE PODCAST · host Vanessa Badura

What if the life you’re meant to live only begins when you decide to start over?In this episode, I’m talking to Helen — whose journey is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to change everything.After 20 years in corporate finance, she started running at 39… without knowing that just a few years later, she would run 840 miles across Arizona and set a women’s world record.But this conversation goes far beyond achievement.We talk about what it really means to listen to yourself, to step away from a life that no longer feels aligned, and to create something new — rooted in freedom, nature, and purpose.From discovering a passion later in life to turning it into a business and building a completely different way of living — Helen’s story is honest, grounding, and deeply inspiring.If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too late” or stuck in a life that doesn’t feel right anymore — this episode is for you.LINKS TO HELEN:https://www.instagram.com/livehappyrunfree/https://www.instagram.com/cretanwild/https://cretanwild.gr/
