Wanky Thoughts Mon, 11 May 2026 20:05:13 -0400 http://www.helenwalkercoaching.com en-gb © 2026 Wanky Thoughts yes 5070837c-ce41-5f8a-9e39-6ae56dc11ebb Helen Walker episodic false We all have Wanky thoughts... you know what I mean, those thoughts that pop into your head making you believe you're not capable of building a business and life you love. 


Who's gonna pay me that, I'm not a speaker, I need more experience, I'm crap at sales.... all Wanky thoughts that keep your income and success capped. 


Well no more, because removing those Wanky thoughts is easy and this podcast will tell you exactly how to do that. 


Expect honest, frank and upfront conversations about what it really takes to create a successful business that doesn't have you chained to your phone 24/7, because let's face it, we all want a life outside of our business.... and free, completely uninterrupted time on our own.

You Don't Want It Enough (and Other Rubbish People Tell You) 9. You Don't Want It Enough (and Other Rubbish People Tell You) I  swapped the car for her kitchen this week, and even blow-dried my hair because this week, I've got a guest! 

I met Vanessa Jennings at a networking event a couple of weeks ago and honestly, I could have talked to her all day.

Vanessa is a brand strategist who helps people stop sounding like everyone else. 

She's also a Kiwi who moved to the UK at 22, a mum, a former fashion industry lifer, and someone who took five... five — redundancies before finally saying "right, I'm doing this for myself."

In this episode, we get into all of it. 

Why it takes us so bloody long to leave jobs we hate. 

The "salary handcuffs" (and how I survived on plain pasta with tuna as a weekend treat). 

What actually happens when you launch something and nobody buys it. 

Why being told "you just don't want it enough" by a coach is one of the most awful things you can hear and why it's also nonsense.

We also talk about AI-generated content (Vanessa is not holding back), why trying to look professional online can completely kill your business, and how the best thing I ever did was just prat about in my kitchen making videos with no plan whatsoever.

If you've ever had a bad month and immediately gone back on LinkedIn to look for a job, this one's for you.

I am literally recording this from the car on the way home from a networking event where I've just delivered a talk. And yes, my heart was pounding, my hands were jittery, and that wanky voice in my head was having an absolute field day.

Because here's the thing, I teach this stuff, and I still get nervous. And for a long time I thought that meant something was wrong with me. It doesn't. And in this episode I'm going to tell you exactly why.

I'm talking about why public speaking scares the living daylights out of most people, why your brain is literally wired to keep you small and quiet, and the exact technique I used today mid talk, to shut that inner critic up and get into my flow.

Because true confidence isn't about never feeling scared. It's about knowing what to do when that voice pipes up and tells you you're not good enough.

If you've ever stood up to speak and felt like your brain was working against you, this one's for you.

And if you want to start tackling those wanky thoughts for good, come and find out more about the Wanky Thoughts Club. I'd love to have you in there.

But what if the real reason it’s still happening isn’t just “out there” it’s happening much closer to home?

In this video, I’m breaking down the uncomfortable truth about why women are still underpaid and the part no one is talking about.

Because this isn’t about blame… it’s about power.

If you’re:

* undercharging
* hesitating to say your price
* feeling awkward selling
* or constantly second guessing yourself

This video will show you what’s actually going on and how to change it.

Because when one woman raises her standards… it doesn’t just change her income
👉 it changes what’s possible for all of us

I almost didn't start this podcast, because I had spent 12 months waiting for the perfect set up, the perfect thing to talk about and the perfect moment. 

That moment never came, because perfect isn't real. 

Waiting for everything to be perfect before you do the Video, the podcast, speak at the event or step into that bigger room is the very thing that will destroy it. 

This week I talk about my own struggles with perfectionism and give you a few tips to help you overcome your perfectionist tendencies.
