In this episode, Cristin Candice explores what it means to receive support — especially for strong, high-capacity women who are used to carrying a lot. She reflects on the resistance she’s felt toward being helped, the cultural and emotional barriers many of us face around receiving, and how, during this shutdown, she’s starting to soften into trust. The goal: to reimagine support not as a weakness, but as a key resource in leadership, healing, and community.

Reflection Questions

When was the last time someone offered help — and I declined? Why?

What would it feel like to accept help without needing to explain or justify it?

How can I model to others (especially those I lead or mentor) that receiving is part of sustainable growth, not failure?
