You’d think accepting help would be easy, right? Someone offers, you say yes, and life gets a little bit easier. Simple. Except… it’s not.
In this week’s Community Huddle episode, we talked all about receiving—why it can feel so uncomfortable, why we sometimes turn it down even when we desperately need it, and how to get better at it. Because let’s be honest, most of us are great at giving but struggle when the tables are turned.
At one point, we asked: What if the biggest barrier to receiving isn’t that help isn’t available—but that we assume it isn’t? That one hit hard. It made me wonder how many times I’ve held back from asking simply because I assumed the answer would be no.
So if you’ve ever felt awkward asking for support, or you’ve been guilty of the classic “No, I’m fine” (when you are absolutely not fine), this episode is for you.
