Inspired by real faery tales, this new-age princess wrote her own happy ending! With Helga Conklin

Ep. 61

She was poor, outlawed and scared because of the gardens of ‘medicine’ her family grew. Her parents, both artists, chose to live a simple ‘hippy-homestead’ life on a mountainside. Living close to and with nature, their home featured outdoor plumbing and limited electricity and made it so that getting to school every day was a serious chore; traveling 2 hours one way!

 

It was during those daily trips that she learned to daydream and write many stories in her head. She loved to write, but her desire to break away from the ‘starving artist’ lifestyle took writing off the table. She made her way to college, found love and with a generous gift was able to purchase a home that had everything she thought she wanted.

 

In her search for a life that combined the beauty and uniqueness of her childhood with the ‘Leave it to Beaver’ life she craved, she took her degree in child studies and embarked on a teaching career with the Waldorf schools.

 

Her work inspired her to explore the power of faery tales and reignited her passion for storytelling. Feeling guided by her intuition, while on vacation in 2011,  she sat down and allowed her first Celtic tale novel to pour out. 

 

Helga has written 4 novels and is still driven by her passion to weave all the unique elements of her story into the tales she tells!
