136: The Strength in Letting Go - Why Asking for Help is the Boldest Move You Can Make

Ever been the kind of person who insists on doing it all yourself?

🙋‍♀️ Guilty. That’s been me—carrying all the grocery bags in one trip, saying “I’ve got it!” even when I’m drowning, and thinking asking for help makes me weak.

But guess what?

That’s a LIE we’ve been sold—and I’m done believing it.

In this week’s episode of Do Life Big, I’m getting super real about what it looks like when life throws a lot at you (like recovering from back-to-back travel and a husband on crutches 😅) and you finally admit…

💥 You can’t do it all alone.
💥 You shouldn’t have to.
💥 And asking for help is actually one of the boldest, most powerful things you can do.

We’re talking about:

✨ Why “strong” doesn’t mean doing everything yourself
✨ What it really looks like to let people support you—in life and business
✨ Signs you might be stuck in solo-mode (even when you’re overwhelmed)
✨ And how to start asking for help without guilt or apology 🙅‍♀️

If you’ve ever felt like you have to keep it all together while quietly drowning on the inside... this one’s gonna hit you right in the heart.

And hey—if you’re a mom growing a biz and craving real support (from people who get it 🙌), don’t forget to jump on the waitlist for the Empowered Moms Business Circle 👇
