In this week’s Motivational Monday drop, we’re talking about the thing most mums absolutely suck at asking for help and actually accepting it.

Because trying to do it all doesn’t make you a hero. It just makes you exhausted (and slightly feral).

Ali shares a personal story about how she nearly combusted trying to be Supermum and the wild, radical idea that letting someone cook you dinner, do school drop-off, or hold your baby doesn't make you weak it makes you bloody smart.

We unpack:

• Why mum guilt stops us from accepting help
• The myth of the “independent woman” who does everything alone
• How asking for support is a radical act of self-care
• The importance of building your village and letting them actually show up
• Why being strong doesn't mean doing it solo
• And why you’re not failing you’re just a human who wasn’t meant to raise kids in isolation

This episode is for:

• Mums who feel guilty even thinking about asking for help
• Women who were raised to believe “I’ve got it” is a badge of honour
• Burnt-out, overloaded, school-lunch-packing legends who need a damn nap
• Anyone who needs permission to stop being the family’s emotional pack mule
• And anyone who needs a reminder that we rise higher when we lean on each other
