What happens when a life-threatening health crisis becomes the greatest gift you've ever received?

Helen Parker spent 14 years climbing the corporate ladder at O2 in the UK, building award-winning social impact programs while burning out repeatedly. Then emergency brain surgery in 2014 forced a complete stop—and became her portal to transformation.

Today, Helen is a clinical hypnotherapist and co-founder of Experience Carnival, taking women on journeys of radical self-discovery through Brazil's Rio Carnival. Her Complete Confidence Method helps high-achieving women move from exhausting performance to embodied self-leadership.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • The "doer trap" and why over-performing leads to burnout
  • Why you can't think your way into confidence—you have to feel it
  • The psychology of trust from her groundbreaking "Think Big" youth program
  • How Rio Carnival's matriarchal roots create cellular transformation
  • The incredible story of a man who overcame 60 years of body shame in front of 90,000 people

If you're tired of performing success and ready to feel it instead, this episode is for you.
