Self-compassion is important for our mental and emotional well-being. It allows us to be kind to ourselves, even when we make mistakes. This can help us to learn from our mistakes and grow as people. Self-compassion can also help us to cope with stress and difficult emotions. When we are compassionate towards ourselves, we are less likely to judge ourselves harshly or engage in negative self-talk. This can lead to increased feelings of happiness, self-worth, and resilience.

Asking for help is often seen as a sign of weakness, but it can actually be a sign of strength. There are many reasons why we might not ask for help, but the most common are that we're afraid of being seen as weak, we're afraid of being told no, or we've been burned in the past by people who offered help but didn't actually help. Yet life is full of things we cannot do alone. Asking for what you need from others is a critical life skill to practice. There are a few key things to keep in mind when asking for help. First, be as specific as possible about what kind of help you need. Second, be open to different types of help. Finally, be accepting and grateful for whatever help you receive, even if it’s indirect.

I often ask my clients “who are you” and “who do you want to be…” I ask this question with the understanding that life can shift who we are and how we show up to the world and how we show up to our responsibilities and not to mention how we show up to the expectations others have placed on us.
