Ep. 517: The Practice of Asking For Help


Listen Later

Some people find doing everything on their own to be difficult, but for us, it’s asking for help that ends up being the harder task. Asking for help can feel like admitting to failure, not being good enough, or opening ourselves up for judgement and it feels safer to struggle alone than to admit we need assistance. But when we think about it, we LOVE to help the people we love, so maybe it’s true that people love to help us, too. It’s like the old proverb says, “If you want to go far, go together.” So lately, we’re trying out what it’s like to ask for help when we need it, and we hope you try it too, Bestie.
