Reclaiming Your Body, Power, and Creativity (with Helen Phelan)

Welcome to Life Be Life.ing a podcast by Bethany HealsSeason 2 Archive Episode 05This week I’m joined by Helen Phelan, founder of Women's Health Fit Tech Award winning digital pilates platform Helen Phelan Studio, for a conversation that moves through grief, body image, identity, and what it really means to come back home to yourself.We talk about what it takes to build a relationship with your body that isn’t rooted in punishment or perfection, how movement can be a portal to creativity and healing, and the nonlinear, deeply human process of being seen (on and offline).Helen shares the real story behind launching her business (spoiler: it started in her NYC apartment and got a cosmic shove from the pandemic), what it looked like to rediscover dance post-divorce, and how showing up for her creative voice has transformed everything from her social media to her self-worth.This episode is a permission slip to move differently. To let your workouts be devotional. To pivot toward yourself when everything else is pulling you away. And to remember: wellness should improve your life… not consume it.🎧 Come listen if you’ve been questioning your relationship with movement or wondering how to tap back into your creative spark.Guest on the pod: Helen PhelanHelen is a dancer turned pilates instructor who has been teaching in NYC for 12 years on both the mat and apparatus. as well as a certified Institute of Integrative Nutrition Health Coach.
