About the Episode

For so long I struggled with insecurities when it came to asking for what I wanted. I was so afraid of being rejected or feeling like I'd inconvenience someone with a request.

These fears showed up everywhere. At work, I was afraid to ask my boss for a raise and at home, I was afraid to ask my husband for help with the kids.

Sound familiar?

Turns out our brain's inherent wiring makes it more difficult for us to ask for what we want and it keeps us stuck.

In this week's podcast episode, I break down exactly why this happens, and what to do about it.

Listen in to learn how to stop being afraid and finally ask for what you want in life.
