Hello lovie! Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the Summer of Self-love! 🌞🥰

This is the 7th and last episode in this series!

Also, I will be taking a break in August so the next new episode (and season 2) will start in September of 2024!

Asking for help is a part of self-love.

But why do we as women, we as a society and especially Americans, why do we hate asking for it? 🤔

It’s due to a lot of things…

One reason is because we don’t wanna look weak or because we as a society are taught things like “push through”, “get it done” and “no pain, no gain”. 💪🏽🫤

It’s funny because it’s human nature and second nature for us to wanna help others.

We genuinely ‘like’ to help others. For example asking someone for directions 🗺 to a place. (Even in this age of smart phones 📱 and online maps.)

Nothing can beat a physical map or a person giving you directions in-person.

And it’s a win-win! 🏆

The person gets help with directions and you feel good about helping someone! 🙌🏽

It’s why a lot of us love to volunteer! 🥰

We get those feel good endorphins when we do and those that we’re helping are also happy about it. ☺️ The bottom line is…asking for help is a part of self-love. When we don’t ask for help we ‘stop’ others blessings upon us, we make others feel unnecessary and unwanted and we can look ungrateful too. Not to mention the anxiety and extra stress that we put on ourselves in addition! It’s a lose-lose.

I talk more about this on my newsletter or my ‘love letters’ 💌 as I like to call them). 😉

💞My self-love ‘supplement’ for this episode is The Brave Table Podcast by Dr. Neeta Bhushan.

She has podcast episodes titled “The Hidden Signs of High Functioning Anxiety You Need To Know with Dr. Lalitaa Suglani” and “How to Buy Back Your Time, ADHD Brains and Time Management with Dan Martell”.

It’s one of my fave self-help podcasts!

Dr. Neeta is such a great interviewer and it’s like magic the camaraderie that she has with all of her guests. Sooo goood and informative! :)
