254. When Independence and Self-Reliance Turn into Isolation

When you pride yourself on being capable and independent, it can be easy to miss when self-reliance starts to become isolating. Many of us learned early on that doing everything ourselves felt safer than depending on others, especially if asking for help once led to criticism or disappointment. But when the instinct to rely only on yourself becomes automatic, it can leave you stretched thin and disconnected from the people who want to support you.

In this episode, I explore the difference between healthy independence and the form of independence that hardens into hyper-independence. You will learn how to recognise the moments when you shut down the possibility of support, how to soften the belief that you must do everything yourself, and how to take one simple step towards letting help in. These shifts do not mean abandoning your resourcefulness. They mean creating a life where you can rely on yourself and stay connected to others at the same time.
