Helen completed <a href="https://www.hoffmaninstitute.org/the-process/">the Hoffman Process</a> in March 1992 and began teaching the Process in November 1995. Now, three decades later, Helen sits down with Drew for a beautiful conversation about how the Process changed both her and the trajectory of her life.
Growing up in Edmonton, Alberta, Helen&#8217;s childhood was very different from the other kids she knew. Her parents were corporate bush pilots who flew in the Arctic. Helen&#8217;s mother loved to fly, daring to dream and follow her passion. She was the first woman inducted into Canada&#8217;s Aviation Hall of Fame and was a recipient of the Amelia Earhart award. When Helen was 13, her mother was diagnosed with cancer and started on a long healing journey. Eventually, Helen lost her mother when Helen was nearing her 20th birthday.  She shares what an incredible experience it was to witness her mother&#8217;s fierce determination and strength, but also how hard it was to miss out on a softer, warmer experience of her mother.
Her mother&#8217;s imprinting left her with a lot of pain and confusion, as well as the determination to emulate her mother. But as we know from doing <a href="https://www.hoffmaninstitute.org/the-process/">the Process</a>, that doesn&#8217;t work. When Helen came to the Process at 32, she was &#8220;ready to lay it all out and be done with it.&#8221; She knew she was messing up her life because of her patterns. At <a href="https://www.hoffmaninstitute.org/the-process/">the Process</a>, Helen realized she had &#8220;this Essence of eternal love and grace and wisdom and peace within her.&#8221; She knew, beyond a doubt, that the trajectory of her life had changed.
Helen is a light-filled force of nature full of inspiration, positivity, and profound wisdom. We hope you enjoy this rich, vibrant, and tender conversation with Helen and Drew.
