What does it take to have the courage to create — to find your voice, share your ideas, and turn them into something that changes lives?

In this inspiring milestone episode, Helen Wada sits down with Alison Jones, publisher, coach, and founder of Practical Inspiration Publishing, for a conversation about courage, creativity and connection. Together, they explore what happens when you stop waiting for permission to create and start turning ideas into impact — one conversation, one page, and one person at a time.

Alison shares her journey from corporate publishing to purpose-driven entrepreneurship, revealing how her coaching-led approach empowers leaders to transform expertise into influence. Helen reflects on the story behind her forthcoming book and the origins of the Human Framework — a model that brings coaching skills into commercial success by focusing on how we show up, connect, and collaborate.

It’s a powerful exchange about confidence, curiosity, and community — and a reminder that our greatest ideas don’t just build businesses, they build belonging.
