Always a pleasure to listen to her unpack very difficult questions in a uniquely soft, unbiased and well structured way. I am sure her interview style allows the people she is interviewing feel more free to speak openly. You are a gem

I just wanted to put out a huge thank you to Helen for her really excellent journalism and also never beating around the bush with the more difficult topics in life and community. Her episodes on IVF and friendships x pregnancy were very important for people to hear but also show just how she talks to another level. Thank you Helen for all you do!
