Today’s mini-sode we’re talking about asking for help. Yes, I know how hard it is. But we have to start asking for help otherwise you’re going to hit burnout (please, learn from my mistakes).
I’ve always had trouble asking for help, even from a young age. I’ve always felt this pressure to never ask for help, almost like it was a failure or weak to enlist someone else to help me, no matter what the task was.
It’s difficult to ask for help because we fear rejection. We fear being seen as “less than” or “found out.”
But ultimately, it’s important to know where our strengths lie and where they don’t. Sometimes, the most efficient way to move forward in life is to focus our efforts on what we do best, and leave the rest for someone else.
In this episode I share more about my struggles asking for help, research behind why it’s so dang hard to ask for it, and 3 tips to help you…ask for help!

Today’s mini-sode we’re talking about following your passions and doing what you love most. I didn’t really know what I wanted to do career-wise after graduating college but I quickly realized working in a traditional corporate 9-5 job wasn’t for me.
I never really felt like I “fit in” in each of my corporate jobs and always knew there was something else I was meant to do but I had no idea what that was.
In this episode, I share questions you should ask yourself if you’re trying to figure out exactly what your passion is, how to not get bogged down with the “hows” of following your passion, and my own experience figuring out what I was most passionate about.
Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!
