The Myth of Doing It All: Embracing the Power of Receiving

Let's get real for a moment. Ever found yourself juggling a bi-coastal living arrangement while solo parenting? Yeah, me too. ?? But here's the kicker: amidst the chaos, I realized something profound.

?? DOING IT ALL IS NOT A BADGE OF HONOR ??

Why is it that we hesitate to ask for support? Why do we glorify the notion of doing it all alone? I've been there, caught up in what I call the Wonder Woman syndrome ??♀?—balancing a thriving life while managing two heart conditions and a brain injury.

But after about 8 days of playing superhero, I threw in the towel. Not because I had some epic breakdown, but because I realized it takes far more courage to ask for support than to suffer in silence.

So, let's challenge the status quo together:

?? Why do we struggle to ask for support? ?? How can we receive without guilt? ?? Journal prompts to help us embrace the power of receiving

This week, I'm throwing down the gauntlet: RECEIVE. Yes, you heard me right. Whether it's a compliment or childcare support, let's lean into it—WITHOUT feeling the need to reciprocate.

Need some inspo? Here's how I reclaimed space this week:

• I reached out to my neighbors for a much-needed break, indulging in a LONG bath ??.
• I tapped into a friend's expertise to review some overdue copy.
• And I even shared a personal win at my CEO Mama mastermind—celebrating our baby boy's first tooth ??, rather than dwelling on missed moments.

And for those who thrive on structure, here are some journal prompts to ponder:

1. On a scale of 1-10, how comfortable are you with asking for support today, and why?
2. Who can you reach out to for support this week? What kind of support do you need?
3. What daily habits can you cultivate to deepen your ability to receive in various areas of your life?

Feel free to share your reflections with me in the comments. I promise I'll read each response. ?? Also let me know any questions that come up or topics your want to hear from me on next week!
