Many high-achieving women, myself included, struggle with asking for help. We’ve been conditioned to believe that independence equals strength and that seeking support is a sign of weakness. But what if that belief is holding us back?
In this episode, I dive deep into:
✔️ Why so many high-achievers, especially women, find it hard to ask for help
✔️ The deep-rooted childhood experiences that shape this belief
✔️ My personal journey of growing up fiercely independent and how it impacted my career and relationships
✔️ A client story of a high-achieving lawyer who felt overwhelmed but struggled to seek support
✔️ How refusing help leads to exhaustion, loneliness, and feeling unsupported
✔️ The mindset shift that changed everything for me—seeing asking for help as a strength, not a weakness
✔️ How to rewire your nervous system through small, tolerable steps to make asking for help feel natural and safe
✔️ The powerful ripple effect: how asking for help strengthens relationships, builds community, and creates deeper connections
💡 Challenge for you: Start small—ask for one small favor today. Notice how it feels. Over time, this practice will transform your sense of support, connection, and confidence.
