She recounts living a nomadic lifestyle after working in the district attorney's office during the night stalker murders, fostering her fearlessness. Helen describes her transformative experiences traveling with her children after her youngest graduated, finding resilience and new perspectives abroad.
She highlights gaining managing skills and unique opportunities through her job at a Los Angeles online magazine, helping her son meet a band. Helen talks about embracing photography, especially at rock concerts, and learning to seize opportunities fearlessly without perfect conditions.
Reflecting on overcoming obesity through spinning and empowerment, Helen discusses her journey of regaining control and finding self-worth.
