The Wider Lens is a podcast about seeing possibility where you might not have looked before. Powered by Focus on Women, the show opens the door to broader conversations with creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders across disciplines.
Each episode features real, thoughtful conversations — not just about success, but about uncertainty, change, and growth. We talk about how careers evolve, how priorities shift, and how people build work that supports the life they want.
Honest, grounded, and community-minded, The Wider Lens invites you to step back, zoom out, and expand how you think about your own creative path.

In this episode, we’re joined by Helynn Ospina, a photographer, artist, and storyteller. Born in Colombia and raised in the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant, Helynn’s journey has been shaped by the search for identity. Her path has been anything but conventional, from serving in the U.S. Marines to working in scientific research, all while her passion for photography quietly grew.
Helynn’s work reflects her deep curiosity and connection to both the seen and unseen. Her unique perspective has led her to collaborate with brands like AirBNB, WeWork, and Martha Stoumen Wines, with her art featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Communication Arts. Tune in as we explore how her journey and creative vision continue to evolve, and how she sees each photograph as the start of a larger conversation.
You can see Helynn's beautiful work and keep up with her by following her on Instagram and checking out her website!
