Sometimes being stuck asking for help isn’t about fear or shame—it’s about not knowing what to ask, who to ask, or how to ask for help. That uncertainty can leave you spinning your wheels, overthinking, and feeling even more overwhelmed. In this episode, I’m breaking down the practical side of asking for help—the executive functioning skills it takes, why it can feel so complicated, and what to do when you don’t even know where to start.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why asking for help uses every single executive functioning skill (and why that’s part of what makes it so hard)
- A real-life example of how to ask for help, even when you don’t have a clear question yet
- How to figure out who to ask for help and when to ask so it’s actually useful
- A simple script you can use when you’re stuck and don’t know what to say
- Ways to give yourself credit for every small step of the process (even when it feels uncomfortable)
