Ep. 1 – Part 2: Why is it so hard to ask for help? Does it have to take a near-death experience…
Do you have the courage, strength and humility to ask for help when you need it?
Throughout this season, we will discuss many challenging topics such as death, divorce, and illness. Reflecting on my own difficult moments, I often felt unable to ask for help when I needed support the most, which left me feeling lonely, isolated, and yearning for understanding and assistance from others.
My greatest hope for this podcast, especially this episode, is that you find the courage to ask for help during your hardest times and offer support to those around you who are experiencing their own struggles. Ignoring uncomfortable emotions that call for attention is one of the most unloving things we can do to ourselves. The more we neglect these feelings, the louder their cries for help become. This can manifest as reactivity, depression, resentment, or, in my experience, physical health issues—I faced cancer at just 20 years old.
Hear about my cancer experience, and the lessons I gleaned – in today’s episodes. If you are someone you know is dealing with illness, this one is a must-listen.
