In this episode, Carrie and Angie unpack one of the biggest mindset blocks moms face when going back to work:
“Asking for help means I can’t handle it.”

Together, they dig into where this belief comes from, why it feels so true, and how it can quietly keep you stuck, exhausted, and afraid to move forward. You’ll learn how to reframe this story so you can step into your next chapter with more support and less guilt.

1. Asking for help is not weakness — it’s strategy.No one can do it all. Relying on others doesn’t make you less capable; it makes you more sustainable. Capable doesn’t mean doing everything yourself — it means making sure it gets done in a way that works.

   
   

2. Your beliefs are just thoughts you’ve practiced.The idea that “I should be able to manage it all” is often modeled for us and reinforced over time. Once you become aware of that pattern, you can start choosing new, healthier beliefs that serve the woman you’re becoming.

   
   

3. Redefine “capable.”True capability includes knowing your limits, outsourcing when possible, and accepting that delegation is a strength. You can do anything — but that doesn’t mean you should do everything.
