About

In today's episode, I'm talking about what happened when my best friend's car was blocking me in at 5:45am - and what it taught me about asking for what you need even when you're supposed to be taking care of someone else.  I share the story of book boot camp with my friend Michelle, and how asking for her keys instead of skipping my workout was one of the bravest things I could do.  We'll explore why asking isn't selfish - it's how you stay full enough to be of real service to the people you love. Question to carry into your day: Where in your life have you been abandoning your own needs to take care of someone else - and what would it look like to ask for what you need instead?
