So when I do coaching calls with people, I tend to notice that they will come to me with a specific

problem that they think is the problem that's holding them back.

And then through some coaching and through some chatting with them about what's really

holding them back, it often ends up being something totally different,

which I just think is fascinating.

So for today's coaching call,

I'm joined by Ali, who came to me saying

that she's having a hard time staying driven,

especially during this period of isolation,

quarantine, COVID, all the things. She's feeling the

shiny object syndrome hardcore and really just wants to connect more to that motivated, productive

side of herself. But what's interesting is that as we got into the conversation that you're

about to listen to, it really wasn't about her being

driven or not. It wasn't about her having the motivation or not. Instead, it ended up being

something that I think is going to be so relatable to a lot of listeners today. We talk a lot

about what it feels like to ask for support, why it's so much

more comfortable to take care of everyone else around you instead of asking for help

for yourself or even just taking care of yourself. And so we really dig deep into that today

with Ali and get to the core of why is she not asking for support?

Why is she not receiving the love and support that's available to her?

And we come up with a plan so that Ali can live in more alignment with her values instead of

her fears so that she can ask for support when she needs it instead of hiding when she feels afraid
