I Didn’t Know How to Ask for Help Until I Broke Down
For much of her life, Blaze carried everything on her own — until her body gave her no other choice. After her second cancer diagnosis and a full hysterectomy, she was suddenly faced with the reality that she couldn’t do it all alone. For the first time, she had to ask for help — even from strangers.
In this deeply personal episode, Blaze shares how illness stripped away the mask of independence and revealed a new truth: asking for help isn’t weakness, it’s connection. Listeners will walk away with hope, self-recognition, and permission to let others in.
The takeaway? Support doesn’t diminish your strength — it expands it.
