Manage episode 515042019 series 3547019
If you’ve ever told yourself, “I should be able to figure this out,” this episode is for you.
I’ve been there, too—trying to do it all on my own because I can. But sometimes, doing everything ourselves comes at the cost of time, energy, and peace of mind. In this episode, I’m sharing why asking for help can feel so uncomfortable, how to recognize when it’s time to reach out, and how to know when investing in support is actually the smartest move you can make.
I’ll walk you through how to spot the moments when going solo is holding you back and how to reframe help as an investment, not an expense.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why we resist asking for help (and the myths we tell ourselves)
✅ How to recognize when it’s time to stop doing it alone
✅ What to consider before investing in professional or personal support
✅ Everyday examples of help we already pay for—without hesitation
✅ How investing in help can accelerate your progress and peace of mind
By the end, you’ll see that asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom.
And sometimes, the best investment you can make… is in yourself.
