What is your inner story?
We all carry stories inside us, some that empower, and others that quietly hold us back.
In this episode, I sit down with Helen O’Grady, former specialist children’s nurse and now a Master Executive Coach. Helen has spent decades helping people navigate complex emotional terrain, first in hospital wards, and now in boardrooms and coaching spaces.
Her mission is to help professionals rewrite their inner narratives and show up with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
We talk about the difference between true resilience and burnout, and why the cultural pressure to “just cope” is often more damaging than helpful. Helen also explains how your self-talk shapes your outcomes and how reframing a single thought can open the door to real change.
For small business owners and service providers like us, Helen shares what it means to be the product, and how to embrace your story as your strongest marketing tool.
There is a quiet power to reframing your story, living with self-compassion, and learning to be your own inner cheerleader.
Listen to find out how you can change your inner story.
