  <description>Welcome to Season 4 of Pivots and Plot Twists. This season's theme is SHINING BRIGHT NOT BURNING OUT.
This season is dedicated to stories of hope, inspiration and positivity, in service of helping you live well, love your work and take care of yourself brilliantly.
On this episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Helen Plumridge.
Helen Plumridge, with over 20 years of recruitment experience, has navigated every facet of the industry—from large corporates to founding three successful businesses. She’s led an all-female team to six-figure monthly revenues and secured private equity backing. In 2015, while juggling a toddler and a baby, Helen launched her second recruitment business, facing challenges in branding, marketing, and client strategy. This experience fuelled her passion to support other female founders. Today, she leads Hypa Consulting, a hub for female-led recruitment companies with up to five employees. 
Helen’s mission is to empower women entrepreneurs with the knowledge, resources, and community they need to thrive. Join her in building the largest global community of female recruitment founders!
We discuss: 
Why she burned her business down and started again
Helping recruitment leaders thrive - not just survive
Encouraging women to lead
Making business more enjoyable
Commitment to your health
Wealth isn't measured on money
Setting yourself up for success
Losing your why and how to find it again
