Is it hard for you to ask for help?
It used to be hard for me. Really hard.
I wanted to figure things out on my own. Work through it myself. Not need anyone. There was something in me that believed needing help meant I wasn’t capable enough — that asking was somehow an admission of failure.
I don’t feel that way anymore.
Now I ask quickly. Almost immediately. Because I’ve learned something that changed everything — people genuinely want to help. Just like I love helping others, they love helping me. That’s not weakness on either side. That’s just how we were designed to work together.
So here’s what I want encourage you and myself to do:
Ask. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Even when you’re not sure how it will land. Even when you’ve been told no before.
Keep asking. Because most people want to help — they’re just waiting for you to give them the chance.
You like to help people, don’t you? So do most people.
Let them.
If asking for help feels like stepping outside everything you’ve been taught to do alone, read On the Other Side of Fear — because on the other side of that uncomfortable ask is where the real freedom begins.
And if you’ve been carrying something alone for too long, You’re Not Alone was written for exactly this moment.
