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.
