“I thought it was just stress… but it was so much more.” That was Helene Beck’s wake-up call. Fatigue. Vertigo. Emotional exhaustion. Her body was screaming what her mind had been holding in.

I came to Kenya to serve but walking through Kibera, I was the one who left changed. In the middle of hardship, I found joy. In the quiet moments, I saw strength. And in the faces of strangers, I learned what gratitude really means. Sometimes, perspective is the first step toward healing. 🙏 #Kibera #Kenya #Gratitude #Shorts #Hope #Faith #Africa #TravelWithPurpose #Perspective #Humanity

“It’s okay to let people in.” That’s what Helene Beck learned on her healing journey. Some days were heavy. Others felt like progress. She found strength in gratitude, kindness, and quiet moments. Therapy helped. So did manifestation. Her story is a reminder—healing doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be real. 🎧 Full episode on The Natalie Tysdal Podcast. #HealingJourney #MentalHealthShorts #YouTubeShorts #PodcastClips #EmotionalWellbeing #WomenSupportingWomen #TherapyWorks #TraumaHealing #MentalHealth #SelfCare #Gratitude #Manifestation #Kindness #FindingYourVoice #InnerPeace #EmotionalWellbeing #Therapy
