Why do we always say no to help—even when we need it? In this episode, Tyra breaks down the cycle of hyper-independence and why so many of us feel like we have to handle everything alone. She shares personal stories of turning down help, even when it was freely offered, and challenges us to shift our mindset. If you've ever found yourself carrying too much—physically or emotionally—this episode is for you.
You'll walk away with insights on why we reject support, how to break free from hyper-independence, and a challenge to help you actually start accepting help when it's offered.
Pep Talk Challenge: Accept help when it’s offered this week—whether it’s a small gesture or something bigger, say yes instead of brushing it off. And if no one offers, challenge yourself to ask for help. Whether it’s carrying something, reaching out for advice, or delegating a task—just practice letting someone support you.
