092 | Why It’s SO Hard to Ask for Help (And Why You Should!)
Description
In today’s episode, I want to talk about why it’s SO hard to ask for help, and even more, why you should be doing so. Women (and especially moms) are praised for being helpers, and putting everyone else first, while their needs are constantly pushed on the backburner. I mean...I myself am a thirty-something millennial mom living rural, who also was ingrained with the high-achieving, ‘do it all’ mentality for most of my life. Yeah...you could say it felt pretty unnatural for me to ask for help with my kids, house, etc., at first!
I know it’s SO hard to ask for help, but at the end of the day, YOU are in charge of building a beautiful life that lights you up. Sometimes that means being vulnerable, and allowing your loved ones to support you where you need it, so you can flourish in this life!
In this episode, we cover:
- How your micro experiences from childhood shaped you, and what it looks like to bring them into adulthood
- Why the communication piece is VITAL in helping you not feel like a burden + finding self-awareness around what you really need
- Getting to the place of understanding you can’t (nor do you want) to do it ALL, and being totally okay with that
- Effectively tackling the conversation surrounding household division of labor + letting things go, even if they aren’t done ‘exactly’ the way you would do them
- Accepting the fact that other people are going to do things differently than you, but it doesn’t have to be a bad thing
