The Art of Receiving Support: Why It’s So Hard (And How to Finally Let It In)

Let’s be real—receiving support sounds beautiful on paper, but in real life? It feels uncomfortable as hell. Most of us were raised to believe that needing help makes us weak, so we hustle harder, give until we’re empty, and carry it all on our own. But here’s the truth: refusing support isn’t strength. It’s self-abandonment. It blocks intimacy. And it keeps you stuck in burnout, disconnection, and loneliness.

In this special birthday episode of Inner Sanctuary RAW, Erica shares why it feels so hard to accept help, the hidden cost of always doing it alone, and how to finally start letting love, care, and support in.
