In this episode, Heledd opens up about her remarkable confidence journey, touching on key themes such as career transitions, body confidence, and self-worth. Heledd reflects on her career trajectory, sharing her transition from a mathematics teacher to an abundance coach. She candidly discusses how receiving a 2:2 in her degree initially felt like a significant setback, leading her into a job that didn’t resonate with her values. From a young age, Heledd grappled with feelings of discomfort in her own skin. Driven by a relentless pursuit of achievement and perfection, she found herself being excessively self-critical and dissatisfied with her appearance.

    The podcast delves into a pivotal moment in Heledd’s life: A traumatic experience of sexual assault while studying in France. This harrowing incident profoundly impacted her sense of safety, triggering periods of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which deeply affected her confidence.

    Despite the challenges she faced, Heledd found empowerment through her journey. Transitioning into an abundance coach marked a turning point, where she began to reclaim her confidence and sense of belonging. Changing schools also played a crucial role in her newfound confidence, providing her with an environment where she could thrive authentically.

    Throughout the episode, both Heledd and the host share personal experiences of grappling with feelings of undesirability during their teenage years, highlighting how these experiences shape individuals’ identities and perspectives.
