Ready or Not

Why “I’ll just do it myself” is keeping you stuck (and how to stop) | Ask Ready or Not


Listen Later

Welcome back to Ask Ready or Not! It’s Ready or Not’s tip-based episode, landing in your ears every Friday. Today, Loz is calling out a habit that so many mums fall into: the “I’ll just do it myself” mindset. Whether it’s at work, home, or in relationships, taking everything on alone might feel easier in the moment—but in the long run, it’s exhausting and holding you back. In this episode, Loz unpacks why we struggle to delegate, how to get comfortable asking for help (without feeling guilty), and why letting go of control is the key to actually having more time, energy, and mental space. If you’re drowning in responsibilities, this one’s a must-listen.
