Welcome back to the Wild River Podcast! After nearly a year away, I felt called to bring you a special conversation with my close friend and powerful intuitive, Helena Herndon. Helena is a psychic, past-life astrologer, and Zen Human Design reader who blends these systems into a deeply holistic and soul-centered practice. In this episode, we dive into a topic we’ve discussed privately for over a year: magnetism, dating, and the conscious, often uncomfortable path of healing how we relate to men and relationships.

We unpack:

• Why owning your desires is foundational to attracting aligned love

• How unconscious beliefs and past wounds shape dating patterns

• What it really means to be “magnetic” (hint: it’s not about looks)

• The energetic shifts that invite in high-quality, trustworthy men

• How to build self-trust, safety, and joy in your body—before a partner arrives

• Tangible practices to cultivate radiance and feminine embodiment

• Why resentment, over-giving, and control often block the intimacy we crave

• The power of deciding you're worthy of the kind of love you desire

This episode is for anyone—any gender or orientation—who wants to date more consciously, with greater ease, empowerment, and authenticity. Whether you’re calling in your person, healing after toxic dynamics, or refining your own relationship patterns, this conversation is full of honest insight and practical wisdom.
