Life After Plus One

96. Why is it so hard to ask for help?


Listen Later

As a single parent, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you have to do everything alone. Whether it’s out of pride, fear of judgment, or just being so used to handling things on your own, asking for help can feel uncomfortable—even impossible. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to do it all.

In this episode, we’re diving into:

- Why so many single parents struggle with asking for help.

- The guilt and fear that comes with needing support—and how to let it go.

- How to build a strong support system (even if you feel like you don’t have one).

- Practical ways to ask for and accept help without feeling like a burden.

- How leaning on others can actually make you a stronger parent.

You’re not failing by asking for help—you’re giving yourself and your kids the best version of you. Let’s talk about how to shift your mindset and start receiving the support you deserve.
