Explosive Boss Babe Secrets: Spark Your Confidence
Host Kendra Noel brings a Boss Babe twist to Episode 13, featuring Helen Edwards—author of Nothing Sexier Than Freedom, podcast host, and women’s confidence coach. A Wyoming Women’s Network connection, Helen shares her journey, what it taught her about supporting other women, and why surrounding yourself with successful women is important.
Energy Shifts: Helen ditched a draining business and stepped back temporarily from her podcast, creating space for new opportunities, which allowed her to focus on health.
Empowering Women: Surround yourself with growth-minded women, refer freely, and build a support network like Helen’s.
Memoir as Legacy: Her first book was a look at Helen at 35. The sequel (working title: What’s Sexier Than Freedom) will update with Helen's outlook from 45 and reflect her evolving story for future generations.
Invest in Help: Hiring a book coach has gotten her back on track to have her sequel ready by the end of the year. Leadership means knowing when to ask for support.

3 keys to ignite your next business boom

Automate: Use tools like CRMs, Monday.com, and Opus Clip to streamline lead nurturing, project management, and content creation.
