Joining me on the podcast this week is Helen Marshall.

Helen is the Founder of Primal Alternative. 

Helen is on a mission to empower people to be accountable to their purpose with a new business model of freedom – the Primalista Licence. 

The model was born from a desire to share a successful grain free food business model. As a health coach, Helen saw firsthand how people ‘fell off the wagon’ as they missed comfort food staples like bread, pizza, pastries and cookies. So, she created nourishing alternatives to the foods everyone loves and they literally sold like hot cakes. 

Helen gets the struggles many face finding a vocation that aligns with their values. She packaged everything she’d learnt about creating a food business from home whilst on a healing journey, raising a family and designing a lifestyle around the things she loves. 

In this episode of The Debra Shepherd Podcast, Helen shares her remarkable story. 

WE DISCUSS

• The evolution of Primal Alternative, what the Primalista Licence is and how you can get involved. 
• Connecting your purpose to your work.
• Connection, communication, community and providing support.
• Ensuring consistency in products and brand communication. 
• Living by priority. 
• The importance of managing your energy.
• Success, comparison and designing a life you love.

Joining me on The Debra Shepherd Podcast this week is Dana Evans.

Dana Evans is an Emotional Feeling and Clearing Coach specialising in bringing order to emotional chaos.  

Dana's mission is to take you on a journey back home to yourself by shedding old, trapped emotions and opening up to the wisdom of your Inner Voice. 

With the coaching industry thriving and all the minds working and striving, she is here to help you find the gentle stillness within - to sense, see and shed unprocessed emotions that are stuck in your body.

According to Dana, the work she does with clients is best described as an exploration, an in-depth experience where you connect with yourself and learn to trust the knowing deep within. It is an unlearning, an unfolding that ultimately leads to an unleashing.  

In this episode of The Debra Shepherd Podcast, Dana shares her story.

WE DISCUSS

• Self-care and how it is often seen as an outward in approach rather than an inward out approach.
• How we can get stuck using the mind to control the physical body. 
• How the physical body is a conduit and it is usually the way your emotions communicate to you and through you.
• How mindset work is one piece of the puzzle.
• How unprocessed emotions can drive your behaviour.
• Energetic hygiene and clearing your energy every day.
• Common signs you have an emotional charge that needs to be released.
