82. Downsizing: Getting Comfortable Asking for Help

So many of us were raised to be self-sufficient, and that is something to be proud of. But when that independence turns into doing everything alone, even the things you do not have to, it starts working against you.

Jodi and Heather get personal about their own struggle with asking for help, then dig into why it matters even more during a big transition like downsizing. They cover what gets people to help you, and share practical ways to make it easier on everyone involved.

In this episode:

• Why people who help everyone else struggle the most to ask for help themselves
• The real difference between an ask that gets ignored and one that gets a yes
• Five kinds of help that often go unasked for
• Simple phrases that make it easier for someone to say yes
• What it costs you when you never ask
• A one-thing challenge to practice asking this week
