“There is a huge cost to being hyper-independent in our relationships. It’s not free. If you always say, ‘I got it,’ when people offer help, sooner or later the offers start drying up.” – Terri Cole

Intro

How do you feel about asking others for help?

Are you good at it, or do you avoid it because you don’t want to ‘owe’ anybody anything?

Do you find it difficult to believe other people will show up for you the way you show up for them?

Or does being vulnerable scare you?

If you’re nodding your head, this episode is for you. I am talking all about hyper-independence: what it is, why it matters, what causes us to act this way, signs to help you identify whether this is you, and how to shift into healthy independence and interdependence.
