In today's episode, I'm talking about the beliefs that keep us from asking for help. Asking for and receiving help is something I’ve been working on in my own life for quite some time now. It’s something that many of us struggle with (especially in agriculture).

The truth, though? Not asking for help keeps us isolated, and honestly, that’s not benefiting anyone. As I continue working on this in my own life, I’ve realized that asking for and receiving help doesn’t mean I’m weak or “less than.” I’m letting connection happen, and that’s a beautiful thing!

I want to encourage you to think about YOUR beliefs that may be keeping you from asking for help. You might be surprised at how good it feels when someone helps you (and how much they love it, too)!

In this episode, I cover:

Why asking for & receiving help has been such a challenge for me + many others in rural spaces
A recent example from my own life of almost turning down help + what it revealed
Results from my recent Instagram poll about how likely we are to ask for help
5 core beliefs that hold many of us back from asking for help
How generational conditioning & learned survival patterns shape the ways we avoid or decline help
The difference between healthy independence & isolating ourselves
A powerful reframe I’m now leaning into when asking for help
3 reflection prompts for you to explore
