In this candid episode, Amanda and Huan get real about the awkward, surprisingly complex act of asking for help—at work, at home, and everywhere in between🤝. Why is it so hard to reach out, even to closest friends and partners? Are we secretly driven by perfectionism🧩, fear of rejection💔, or just don’t want to feel like a burden?

Join us as we explore:

• How independence (and childhood habits) shape our willingness to ask for help🧒

• The difference between accepting help and actually asking for it🙌

• Professionals, perfectionists, and the myth that “doing it all yourself” equals competence🏆

• Personal stories—when not asking for help backfires, and the rare moments it brings us closer to others🫂

• Technology and isolation: Why it’s easier than ever to “DIY” (and why that may hurt real connection)📱

• Practical wisdom: Letting friends help, giving people a graceful “out,” and designing rituals that encourage community🎉

Whether you’re fiercely self-reliant or longing for more support, this episode is a permission slip to rethink your default, reflect on what connection really means, and maybe, just maybe, ask for help next time💡.
