Strong, Capable Women Need Help Sometimes | Why That Is Not a Weakness?

from Aging Honestly · host Penelope Lane

What happens when a strong, capable woman admits she needs help?At 67, I teach fitness classes, rebuilt my body after serious disc injuries, and run a business. Yet recently, I needed help getting up off the floor and financial help from my daughter for a medical procedure.  And I forgot to pack my undies for a mini-break with my daughter.Why does everyone think that if you're strong, you don't need help?"In this podcast, I break down the myth that independence means doing everything alone. Being strong doesn’t eliminate real challenges — especially with ageing, health costs, and past financial decisions. Asking for help isn’t a weakness. It’s honesty. It’s courage. It’s human. You can be strong and need support. Both are true.🌐 Visit My Website - https://www.penelopelane.com.au/If you are new to my podcast, I’m happy you're here.
