About this episode
This episode discusses the challenges of self-sufficiency and the importance of receiving help, particularly for high performers and children of immigrants.
You were taught that needing help was weakness. That holding it all together was strength. This episode is for the children of immigrants, the high performers, the quietly suffering ones who say "I'm fine" and mean it less and less. We explore where self-sufficiency becomes armor, why receiving is a muscle most of us never built, and the unexpected reason your business might not be growing. Anchored by one quote that stopped me cold: " Giving someone the opportunity to serve is an act of service. " New episodes of Monsoon Season every Monday.
