Owning Your Authenticity and Making a Splash. With Guest Helen Hill 

You’re going to want to *dive in* to today’s episode of Psychologically Speaking…

Leila chats to Helen Hill, the vibrant founder of Unlikely Genius and co-founder of Be the Future. Helen shares her journey from self-conscious business owner to a mermaid on national television (as you do!) Leila and Helen delve into how donning a 13-foot mermaid tail of reclaimed plastic for a BBC News appearance transformed Helen's self-perception and business trajectory, leading to a powerful discussion on the psychological impact of clothing and identity.

Helen used to avoid photographs of herself but has a newfound confidence since embracing the mermaid lifestyle! Leila explores the psychological concepts of enclothed cognition and the proteus effect, discussing the surprising confidence and opportunities that can arise from stepping into character.

Listen to discover how a creative approach to self-presentation, and embracing your most colourful self, can lead to profound personal and professional growth.
