Raising Hel

Why are we bullying others merely based off how they look? Is looking good a privilege? is it a distraction from being truly seen? How do we validate the parts of ourselves that society doesn't validate for us? Standing out and expressing your differences while superficially encouraged by society comes with a heavy price. Conformity has become the main form of escapism to avoid the constant shame, criticism and judgement that comes along with be different. In a world full of humans, should their be more humanity?

In this episode, you are getting to hear the personal account of a social work student chronicling her analysis of the mental health system as both a patient and an advocate.

Are you staying in bed too long, feeling like your falling behind or just generally unsatisfied with life? It is never too late to rewire the way you think and find a direction in your life fuelled by a powerful purpose. Open your mind up to seeing life through the lens of gratitude and self-love and see the results for yourself. It is your responsibility to create a meaningful life, so stand up and bare it.

My name is Heleena, but most of my friends know me as "Hel" and I'm on a journey to basically re-raise myself. There are a lot of patterns I need to learn and unlearn in order to discover the crux of who I am and unleash my full potential and hopefully inspire my listeners to try and do the same. This is primarily going to be an interview-style podcast, featuring inspirational thought leaders within my own community. Your gal has never really been the type to shy away from asking challenging questions to people in positions of power, so it's going to get interesting! Stay tuned homies!
