How To Ask For Help When It Doesn’t Come Naturally

I’m terrible at asking others for help. I love helping others and find great joy in helping others, but I don’t naturally ask others for their help when I need it. My conversations on this podcast so far have made me realize I’m not alone with this struggle.

In this episode, I revisit previous conversations with Laura Savage, Rebecca Lassiter, and Jennifer Dixon to get their advice on asking for help when it doesn’t come naturally.

We discuss how it can feel uncomfortable to ask others for help, how giving others the opportunity to help you can bring them the same joy you get from helping others, why you’ll actually be a better giver if you learn to ask for and accept help, and the role ego plays in it all.
