What If You’re Just One Brave Ask Away from the Breakthrough? (Ep. 105)
Description
Have you ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure—but didn’t know how (or who) to ask for help? In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story from my college years, when one life-changing conversation with my advisor shifted the entire direction of my career—and helped me realize the power of seeking support.
From wanting to be an FBI agent to discovering the doors a social work degree could open, I’ve learned that clarity often comes from people who are a few steps ahead of us. But let’s be honest—asking for help isn’t always easy. Whether it’s pride, uncertainty, or fear of losing control, there are some real reasons we resist support.
We’ll unpack the top three reasons people avoid asking for help—and how to move past them. Plus, I’ll share five practical steps you can take today to identify what kind of help you need and how to ask for it without losing your voice.
Whether you’re a high-achiever trying to do it all, a mom in the thick of a tough season, or someone quietly carrying emotional weight—you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s normalize getting support, remove the shame, and equip you with the tools to ask for the help you truly need.
