Breanna Helfert on Life, Lessons & Legacy

Breanna Helfert shared her story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Good morning Breanna, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Finding much joy crafting original one-of-a-kind malas, which are prayer beads with 108 beads. This spiritual practice entails chanting 108 mantras going around the mala, holding a bead as you chant each mantra. Wonderful and meaningful!

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I absolutely love hosting and coordinating private Self-Love Retreats in Sedona, AZ! We cater to each individual, crafting unique, life-changing, soulful multi-day journeys (usually one week or shorter). Our love for Sedona, knowledge of the energy, and phenomenal practitioner team, make our winning retreats magical! We recently won Best AZ Retreat Company 2025, which we are incredibly proud and grateful.

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I was light, positive, happy – felt anything was possible. Wanted to be an actress, singer, and dancer before being told I would only make it to second-rate dance companies at best. This stark information surprised me – yet propelled me to new aspirations. Believe it was divinely-guided, since I now feel 100% aligned with my soul purpose guiding and leading private spiritual retreats in Sedona AZ. Thank you – Much Gratitude!

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I would tell my little inner girl – You are beautiful and deserve all the best in life! You radiate love and did nothing wrong. Always listen and trust your inner guidance, that is your Truth. You are not your past. Your parents did the best they could. You did not deserve abuse or neglect. You have a bright, loving, wonderful future. Let the past go – forgive and Love ALWAYS.

Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What do you believe is true but cannot prove?
We are all energy. Our thoughts and feelings permeate not just our own physical body/mind/Spirit, but also those around us. Keeping positive, love energy creates positivity and love around us, and transmits to other beings everywhere. We are so powerful, especially when our ego aligns with divine cosmic consciousness.

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. Have you ever gotten what you wanted, and found it did not satisfy you?
I made six figures in corporate America, and was engaged to marry a wonderful man; Yet did not feel fulfilled or happy. I was not aligned with my soul’s purpose – the career was not an expression of my dharma, and though I had a deep friendship with the man whom I was engaged to be married, did not feel it was my destiny.
