Ep. 190 | Why "I Can Do It Myself" Is Keeping You Stuck

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

A woman said a sentence to me on a call last week, and it's the one I hear more than any other: "I think I can probably do this myself." She'd spent decades and a fortune trying to fix her relationship with food alone.  And I said six words back that changed the whole conversation: "Here's the thing. You already would have."  Today's episode is about why "I can do it myself" is almost never a plan, and what it's actually protecting.  This is an episode about the hidden cost of doing it alone, and what asking for help really is.  Question to carry into your day: What are you still trying to do alone that the evidence says needs another hand?  Want to work together? Me too! Book a discovery call and let's talk about whether the Stop Starting Over System is right for you. https://link.mollycarmel.com/widget/bookings/mc-discoverycall  Let's Stay Connected:  Subscribe on YouTube Instagram: @mollycarmel Check out my Pocket Sages on my Amazon Storefront An Operation Podcast production | @OperationPodcast
