8 minute podcast episode + 6 minute meditation

Asking for help is not giving up, despite what society has taught us. In this episode, Beth dives deep into the powerful topic of vulnerability and the incredible strength that comes from asking for help to build deeper relationships and connections.

In a society that often equates independence with strength, it can be challenging to reach out for support. But Beth shares personal stories, professional insights, and practical tips to help you see that asking for help is not giving up—it's a profound act of self-awareness and courage.

5 mindfulness tips for asking for help:

1. Reflect on Your Beliefs: Take a moment to examine your beliefs about asking for help. Are they rooted in fear of judgment or past experiences?

2. Practice Self-Compassion: Recognize that it's okay to have limitations.

3. Start Small: Share a minor concern with a trusted friend or family member.

4. Build a Support Network: Cultivate relationships with people who are supportive and trustworthy.

5. Offer Help: Be open to helping others.
