208: Why You Can't Ask For What You Need


Listen Later

This is the first in our "Conversations You're Not Having" series. Yay! In addition to this episode, there will be 4 other types of conversations you're not having that we will dig into.

So, let's talk about this one.

You know what you need. You need help, support, a raise, flexibility, your partner to step up - you know. But you can't bring yourself to ask for it. In this episode, I break down the five reasons women can't ask for what they need: guilt (asking feels selfish), shame (needing something feels like failure), fear of appearing weak, fear of rejection, and fear of losing control. It's one of the hardest conversations you're not having.
