Dr. Kristin Marvin –
As a clinical psychologist, I’ve spent years helping women rediscover their confidence often after it’s been slowly chipped away by life’s many pressures, traumas, and expectations. What struck me about Helen’s newly launched book is how deeply it resonates with both personal experience and psychological theory. This isn’t just another self-help title dressed in platitudes. It’s a roadmap.
Helen makes a vital point over and over again, and rightly so: confidence isn’t something we’re born with. It’s something we build. It’s a skill, not a trait. And just like any skill, it can be learned, unlearned, and relearned.
What sets this book apart is its raw honesty. Helen unpacks the many ways women lose confidence: the toxic inner critic that grows louder with each “failure,” the invisible weight of perfectionism, the emotional toll of comparison—especially in the age of curated lives and filtered success and the childhood messages that echo louder in adulthood than we often realise. From losing your confidence due to a breakup, financial loss, physical injury, assault, death of a loved one, having been adopted, being neurodivergent “different” and the list goes on and on.
But just as thoughtfully, she lays out how we can gain it back; not overnight, but deliberately. Through small shifts in thinking. Through action. Through showing up for ourselves even when we feel we don’t deserve it.
I was thrilled to see strong themes of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) woven throughout the book. CBT is an evidence-based framework I use in clinical practice to help people retrain their thoughts, challenge distortions, and rebuild belief in themselves. Helen doesn’t use clinical jargon but the essence is there: the rewiring of the brain’s patterns, one thought at a time.
This book is empowering, accessible, and beautifully affirming. Whether your confidence was lost in the chaos of motherhood, the climb of a demanding career, a difficult relationship, or the slow erosion of self over timem this book offers not only insight but a clear path forward. And once you feel you have regained your confidence back, Helen even has tools to help other women get there, too. Women empowering women.
This isn’t just a book. It’s a companion on the journey back to yourself.

I just finished reading your book, Confidence: What Every Woman Wants, and I wanted to say a big congratulations! You’ve done an amazing job translating such an important message into words.
What stood out to me most was how relatable and empowering your writing felt. It’s not just a book—it feels like a heartfelt conversation with a friend who truly understands the emotional and mental journey women go through. The practical tips, personal stories, and motivating tone really resonated with me.
I especially loved how you highlighted that confidence isn’t about perfection—it’s about owning who we are and celebrating our strengths at every stage. It reminded me to show up more boldly in both my personal and professional life.
Thank you for creating something so uplifting and meaningful. Your energy in Zumba classes already inspires so many of us, and now, through your book, you’re helping even more women believe in themselves.
Wishing you all the success and can’t wait to see what you create next

Confidence is a practice
Confidence is a practice – is the thru line of this book; a practice that will entail intellectual, emotional and, yes even, physical engagement. It is a book that demands what I call ‘deep reading’. It asks the reader to ponder, reflect, note, prioritise and begin to act. The book starts by surveying a wide array of experiences that can cause a person to feel underconfident – from bullying, financial distress, infidelity, step parenting, sexual abuse, perfectionism. The net is wide and somewhere amongst this long list you will find echoes of your personal experience.
Everyone’s story is different, but no one gets through life without a few scars. The point is not what we have been through but rather the story we tell ourselves about our experience. This is what we own, and this is what we control. ‘It is the story we tell ourselves that counts.’
And that story can change and deepen and gain nuance if we put in the work. And that is what this book asks of us. Do the work. My advice is if you haven’t grabbed that pencil by page 30 now is the time to do so. Make notes – engage with the text – take it in and make it your own. Think about your strengths, your setbacks, your wins. I used to say as a joke to myself – There is no such thing as failure only partial success. I thought this was an original idea, but it turns out the ancients agree. Which brings me to another pleasure of this text – the pop-up cryptic signposts dotted throughout. These words of wisdom are drawn from an array of writers, philosophers and cultural icons. Here are a few of my favourites:
Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom – Aristotle
What we think we become – Buddha
Perfectionism is just fear in fancy shoes – Elizabeth Gilbert
In a text that argues for us to first think about our story – then decode the statements about ourselves that we have internalised from this experience– ‘beliefs create emotions – emotions create actions’ – it was a pleasure and a surprise to come across a simple piece of advice – Smile. Be aware of your posture and what this says about how you feel about yourself and how others see you. Helen Kollias may be big on setting boundaries, but she is also big on approaching life with an open heart. In the final chapters Helen creates an acrostic for confidence, and the beginning letter C stands for Courage and the next letter O stands for Openness. To me this captures the beauty of this book – be brave – for as Helen says, ‘When fear shows up so does possibility’.
Highly Recommended. *****

As a woman in today’s society with societal pressures and what is considered the “norm” I often struggle with self-doubt, overthinking, and feeling like I’m not “enough.” As most women do. Helen sees that and through her own life journey and people she has met, she addresses EVERYTHING that we as women can feel/experience relating to confidence.
I love that Helen writes in a clear, insightful, honest and friendly way. It feels like she’s talking directly to you. This book reminded me that it’s okay to take up space, to say no, and to trust my voice.

I remember Helen saying to me how, after writing a book on how to embody confidence, she needs to make sure she lives up to it. It just made me look in awe at her and think, What do I have to do to be like Helen one day
I am 29, and my mother tried her best to raise me; however, she would consistently berate me, my intelligence, and my actions. Needless to say, I was not very confident in myself, and if I ever looked confident, it was just a false shell to hide my imperfections.
What I love about Helen’s book is that it really challenged my self-beliefs and the way I thought others saw me. I liked the questionnaires she included throughout the book, as they made me pause and reflect on myself. Sometimes, I have a bad habit of doing something I perceive as a mistake and thinking others saw it, so I try to overcorrect.
The main overarching message I got from this book was how much Helen loves women and wants us to succeed in life. With all the negativity thrown our way, I am still taken aback at how deeply Helen cares about the betterment of women.
In the book, you can take away something valuable no matter your age or life circumstances. It covers many issues women go through in our lifetimes and offers constructive ways to counter destructive tendencies. For example, negative self-talk — personally, I have really struggled with this, and she gives excellent strategies to counter it.
Helen also leaves lots of quotes throughout the book that really make you think.
For example:
“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.” – Suzy Kassem
If you ever get to meet Helen in person, you will not be disappointed. She truly is an amazing mother figure and a champion of women.
