Emily & Meg discuss what it means to be stripped of adornments, health, and abilities. They discuss their feelings about being vulnerable enough to ask someone for help during these times and what happens when we don’t allow ourselves to receive that help.

“When you are stripped away from feeling well, strong, radiant, it feels like a new level of vulnerability.”

“People love doing things for me. I love receiving.”

“If you cut off the receiving, it kills the whole cycle - the balance of giving and receiving - and it kills joy.”

“You don’t get what you don’t ask for.”

“Asking is an act of love for another person.”

“The words and metaphors we use determine our outlook in life, so the word ‘needy’ is sticky for me.”

“Prayer is simply asking for help.”

“Fear, anxiety, anger, dependency are all present during moments of our deepest vulnerability.”

“Asking takes courage.”
