Summary
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.
