If you’ve ever cried in your car, snapped at your partner, or wondered why everything feels heavy even when things look “fine” on paper — this episode is for you. I'm digging into the real reason female founders avoid asking for help, and why that pattern quietly slows your growth, drains your energy, and caps your leadership.

✨ Episode Highlights

  • 😣 Why even the most capable founders struggle to ask for help
  • 🧠 The saboteur chatter that fuels the “I should be able to handle this” loop
  • ⚠️ The real cost of doing everything yourself — on your business and your health
  • 💡 Why asking for help is wisdom, not weakness
  • 🔎 The 5 clarity questions to uncover where you’re overwhelmed or pretending things are “fine”
