[Ep 128] It's Okay to Have Help (And Some Ideas to Get You Started)

About six weeks ago, we adopted a puppy. We weren't necessarily planning for it, and so when we brought the dog home, we had a lot of changes we needed to make. And I've had to learn to ask for help when I need it. I've had to learn to recognize when something isn't working and then do something to fix it. And so I want to tell you: It's okay to have help. Not just when you're going through a major crisis, but all the time. We need help! And we need to be willing to find that help, to ask for that help. Yet all too often, we feel guilt or like a failure because we do. Or maybe we feel like we are burdening others because we're asking for what we feel is too much. I want to help with that. Because, my friend, getting help doesn't always necessarily mean going to someone else in person. There are some other ways to get support you may not even think about. Today, I'm going to give you three specific ways you can get help, and I'm going to share a bunch of examples of how I have gotten help in the past—or am getting help right now.  As I do, I want you to consider where you might need some help in this season of your life. Today, even. Are you ready?
