SOS: Asking for Help (Pt 2 with Britt & Shannon)

Moms Talk Autism Podcast

Welcome to the Brit and Shan show, in part two of our three-part series on asking for and receiving help from others. We are diving deep into some of the challenges of parenthood and why we DON’T ask for help. What stops us from letting others in? Is it a purely external, logistical issue or are we getting in our own way at times? We break it down into four main areas of resistance when asking for help as moms:

1. Fear of missing out
2. Struggle for control
3. The weight of responsibility
4. Judgment from others and ourselves

Join us as we touch on what it is like to ask for help in their own lives, how it was as young mothers and the evolution of that skill over time. It’s a muscle we all have to develop, so let’s get to work!
