13: Overcoming Overwhelm: The Art of Delegation and Asking for Help

13: Overcoming Overwhelm: The Art of Delegation and Asking for Help

Today, I'm talking about something that so many of us struggle with, especially women: the art of delegating and asking for help without feeling guilty. I had an experience the other day that really brought this lesson home for me. I think it might always be an area where I need to focus.

Women are often socialized to believe that we need to do it all and be everything to everyone. Asking for help? That would be a sign of weakness.

These ideas are only spinning us towards burnout — fast.

Instead, I've learned that asking for help is a sign of strength, a way to strengthen relationships, and, ultimately, a simple way to take better care of ourselves. When we take better care of ourselves, we can show up for others.

Here's what you'll learn in this episode:

  • How societal expectations and childhood conditioning can lead to guilt when asking for help: Our worth is NOT tied to what we can do for others.
  • Why change, even positive change, can make others uncomfortable and how to navigate that: You'll hear my insights on why people might respond negatively when we start setting boundaries and asking for help and how to stick to them even when others don't like it.
  • Practical strategies to help you delegate without micromanaging: You'll get some actionable tips on clearly communicating your needs, trusting others to do their best, and letting go of perfectionism.
  • The importance of reframing support as strength, not weakness: Asking for help isn't a failure. It's a way to build healthier relationships and look after ourselves.
  • How to overcome the guilt that often comes with putting our needs first: You'll hear some simple mindset shifts and thought exercises that have helped me ask for support without feeling bad, because I know that I'm not being selfish.

I hope this episode gives you the boost you need to start delegating, asking for help, and prioritizing your well-being without guilt. It takes practice — and it's so worth it.

If you struggle with delegation at home or work, get in touch.

55. Body Love…How Do I Do That?

Body image is the #1 shame trigger for women, yet so many of us struggle silently. Why is that? The answer is simple: society has normalized outlandish beauty standards. So, instead of asking for support, we blame ourselves, thinking, "Every other woman can maintain the perfect figure, so why can't I?" and "There must be something wrong with me." If those thoughts sound familiar, I want to help you unravel those lies from your inner critic and society. Tune in today, and let's get real about body image and squash any beliefs that are making you feel bad about the way you look.

51. My Grief Story | Unpacking Brené Brown's 3 Elements of Grief

Grief is hard to talk about because it usually feels isolating or scary The problem with that? Healing can't happen in a vacuum. We NEED to feel heard and understood to heal, but It's hard to find the right words to express the pain we're feeling. Or a listening ear willing to hear us without judgment. That's why today, I'm peeling back the layers of grief by using one of my most difficult losses as an example to walk through Brené Brown's 3 elements of grief. I hope that this episode will remind you that we all have a grief story. Whether you've experienced a devastating loss or something small, you're never alone. And it's okay if your path to healing isn't linear – it was never meant to be.
