243: Why You Can’t Ask for Help: Hyper-Independence with Kelsey Wood


Listen Later

Do you pride yourself on being the capable one? The one who handles the house, the kids, and the career without ever asking for a hand? For a long time, I wore my independence like a badge of honor. But as I’ve learned through my own journey and therapy, there is a big difference between being independent and being hyper-independent.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by therapist Kelsey Wood. Kelsey specializes in childhood trauma and works specifically with women who feel like they have to do it all on their own. We’re digging into the "Big V" word—vulnerability—and why, for so many of us, letting people in feels physically unsafe.

If you are exhausted, burnt out, and tired of being "the strong one," this episode is for you.
