# 6 - Why is it so Hard to ask for Help? Embracing Support Without Shame! - The WHY Matters Podcast

Send a textIt’s Fine to ask for help!Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.In this episode, we discuss the importance of seeking help. Living in Full-Time Travel presents various issues and struggles along the way. Due to the mindset instilled by our parents, we have maintained the mentality of surviving without assistance. However, it's time for a change in 2024! We kicked off the year by seeking our first bit of help—borrowing our parents' car for six months. They have an old one lying around, and we want to avoid unnecessary paperwork; it's undoubtedly a win-win situation. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness but rather a demonstration of the mindset of a strong person who utilizes their resources wisely.Let “Help” be our word of the year!@2:35 Where are we?@6:52 Our Journey of asking Help late@13:32 Culture of no failure, surviving solo@20:36 "Go-it-alone" attitude.@26:36 Harming by praising self-reliance@28:39 Finally asking for help@31:53 How can we improve asking for help?@34:35 This week’s challenge.Things We MentionedHarvard Business Review: https://hbr.org/2023/07/why-its-so-hard-to-ask-for-helpPATREONhttps://www.patreon.com/worldtowningIf you would like to support us in a greater capacity where you can snag some cool swag, plus join us for monthly LIVE chats, and get huge discounts on future group trips.
