Helen Nicholson has spent the past 15 years helping people breathe through the chaos… and in this week\u2019s “Good Things with Brent Lindeque”, she shares the tools, truths and triumphs that have made her one of South Africa\u2019s leading voices in mindfulness and resilience.<\/h2>\n

Johannesburg, South Africa (16 April 2025)<\/em> – When you meet someone who\u2019s truly found their purpose, who doesn\u2019t just speak about resilience but lives it, you feel it. And that\u2019s exactly what happened on this week\u2019s episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, where I had the absolute joy of chatting to Helen Nicholson.<\/p>\n

Helen is one of those people who makes you sit up a little straighter, breathe a little deeper and maybe even reconsider your to-do list for the day.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s the Founder and CEO of The Networking Company, a powerhouse leadership consultancy, and has spent the last 15 years teaching over 12,000 people around the world the art of Mindful Resilience. Her best-selling book, Mindfulness: How to Stay Sane in an Insane World, isn\u2019t just a title… it\u2019s a lifeline in a world of chaos and calendars.<\/p>\n

And while Helen\u2019s CV reads like a highlight reel ( think running the New York Marathon, raising 24-year-old identical twin girls, living in the Middle East and being recognised by GIBS as one of Africa\u2019s top female entrepreneurs), what truly struck us was her grounded energy.<\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t just teach mindfulness. She embodies it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis season is all about stories that move us,\u201d I said when launching the new video format of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, supported by the flame-grilled legends at Nando\u2019s. \u201cStories of heart, stories of heroes, and stories that remind us why we\u2019re proud to be South African.\u201d <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Burnout is everywhere. People are exhausted. The world feels loud, heavy and overwhelming… which is exactly why this conversation is such a good thing. We need leaders like Helen Nicholson to guide us back to ourselves.<\/p>\n

This conversation was honest, vulnerable and filled with hope. And that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re here for.<\/p>\n

Catch the full episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque (now in full video) and meet the woman helping South Africa (and the world) stay sane, one mindful breath at a time.<\/p>\n
