Let’s face it, asking for help is never easy. We are afraid of being vulnerable or facing rejection, so we go on with our lives, without ever asking for help. But not asking for help comes at a hefty price. In this episode, we look at why we shy away from asking for help and explore how we can reframe our minds to reach out when in need. For those looking to find a safe space where they can reach out for help, I am launching the Being Meraklis Tribe to help you on your transformation journey.
