If you’re anxious, stressed or worried, meditation can help. It can reduce stress and bring on a sense of inner peace. 

Meditation is for anyone. You don’t need any special equipment, and there is no wrong way to meditate. Walking  while meditating brings you the extra benefit of movement combined with mindset.  

Each meditation session you do helps you focus and brings a sense of calm. The more you practice, the easier it becomes to:

• Manage stress
• Increase self-awareness
• Control anxiety
• Improve sleep
• Gain perspective

This episode of Walking & Talking with Helen will help get started with meditation. It’s simple, easy, and is good for everyone. It infuses you with positivity and motivation, while gently reminding you how good it feels to exercise and how strong you are, inside and out. 

Meditation has been around for thousands of years. It brings on a deep state of relaxation and a peaceful mind. 

So give it a try, whether you’re new to meditation or have doing it for years. Time to show up for yourself.

What's going on?

As if you were wondering where I went and why I haven't recorded new episodes in awhile...


I'm back, with a new coached walk and a sort of funny story about what's been happening in my life. 


I'm someone who prides herself on being consistent and sticking with things, but in this podcast episode you'll find out why I had to stop, take a moment, and get back on my (mental health) feet. 

I'm also sharing:

• where I've been the last few months

• Uh oh - mold

• the grumpy contractor 

• how the cat almost collapsed the kitchen counter

• why I gained 10 pounds

This walkcast episode has NO background walking music. If you want background music to keep you on track and on beat listen to episode 11A.
