Show Notes
In this episode of The Warrior Parent Podcast, career coach and author Helen Horyza joins Marci Mitchell and Debbie DiManno to explore how discovering your true self can lead to a life you're proud of. From navigating quarter-life crises to building emotional intelligence and taking small, actionable steps forward, Helen offers practical wisdom for anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Whether you're just starting out or looking to realign your path, this conversation will inspire you to take that first step toward purpose and fulfillment.
The Quarter-Life Crisis & Finding Your Purpose
Helen Horyza opens up about her own “26-year-old crisis” and how it led her to a life-changing career in coaching. The hosts discuss the emotional challenges facing young adults today, especially men struggling with confidence and purpose. Helen emphasizes the need to understand your true self—beyond what culture or family expects—and how this self-awareness can be the starting point for personal growth.
Taking the First Step: From Overwhelm to Action
Helen shares how small, intentional steps (like volunteering, journaling, or even reworking a resume) can help break through fear and paralysis. The hosts reflect on how anxiety blocks creativity and how even pausing to breathe can be the first actionable move. This segment reminds listeners that experimentation—trying something and realizing it’s not for you—is still progress.
Emotional Intelligence & Tools for Life
Debbie brings up the importance of emotional intelligence in the workplace, and Helen reframes it as something that’s learnable—not innate. They discuss temperament, empathy, communication, and how emotional skills must be nurtured from childhood. Helen also introduces her book, Elevate Your Career, which includes a free career assessment to help readers align their lives with what truly brings them joy.
