Warning: This episode may inspire you to finally quit the job that’s draining your soul

In this episode of Curly Talks, I dive deep into the inspiring journey of Helena Hornyak, a marketing expert with over 10 years of experience, who stepped away from the 9-to-5 grind and built her own path as a solo entrepreneur. 

In the interview, Helena shares her personal story of why staying within the corporate world wasn’t enough for her and how the need for freedom, creativity, and flexibility led her to pursue self-employment.

We discuss the role of energy in business success and Helena shares her source of energy and motivation - her mentorship program for Solopreneurs. And it is not just a set of tools, but her essence, the very energy that drives her. 

We talk about how to find a perfect balance of structure and creativity, where strategy meets inspiration to fuel growth and why every solo entrepreneur is a puzzle piece making the world a better place.

In this talk we also dive into the personal challenges solopreneurs face — from the shame of not having enough money to the overwhelming feeling of not being enough. 

If you’ve ever doubted your worth, felt lost in your entrepreneurial journey, or longed for more freedom in your life and work, this episode will light the way.

Episode 1: What is “Curly Talks”?

Welcome to the very first episode of Curly Talks — a space where stories breathe, emotions speak, and transformation unfolds.

In this episode, I open the door to what this podcast is really about. I share the soul behind Curly Talks — how it was born from deep curiosity, personal transformation, and the belief that we are all more than our titles, our struggles, or our fears.

As an ICF-certified coach who speaks 4 languages and lives between cultures, I’ve met incredible people with powerful stories. And I’ve walked through my own fires, too. This is a space to explore those stories — how we turn pain into wisdom, crisis into clarity, and moments of doubt into expansion.

Whether you're here for inspiration, healing, or simply to feel less alone in your journey — this space is yours too.

Let’s begin, together!
