  • In this episode, Iā€™m excited to share a story that hit close to home, straight from my seven-year-old son, Jake. As we were rushing around getting ready for school, I gave him a little pep talk, saying, ā€œYou got this!ā€ But to my surprise, he looked at me and said, ā€œMama, I donā€™t got this.ā€

    His honesty was a wake-up call about how important it is to ask for help when we need itā€”something we, as adults, often struggle with. That moment inspired me to reflect on how we, too, can be more open and honest about when weā€™re feeling overwhelmed.

    Today, Iā€™ll explore the strategies Iā€™ve learned from my sonā€™s openness and how they can apply to all of us. Iā€™ll talk about how we can better recognize when we need support, the importance of asking for help early, and how to empower ourselves and others through honest communication.

    If youā€™ve ever felt like you ā€œdonā€™t got this,ā€ this episode is for you!

    Here are the highlights:
    (1:04) Lessons from a Seven-Year-Old's Perspective
    (4:45) The Importance of Asking for Help
    (5:19) Strategies for Asking for Help
    (7:05) The Role of Positive Reinforcement
