How many times have you been offered help but denied it out of fear of being a “bother” to someone else?
Giving and receiving are inherently feminine qualities that many women struggle with, but in doing so we’re also rejecting joy: the joy someone gets from helping us out, and the joy we get from receiving help.
In today’s episode, Bex Wood and Jamie Rockers have joined me to explore the problems that come from being hyper-independent. They also share valuable tips on owning your worth, changing your money mindset to one of abundance, and healing the underlying guilt you may feel when making money-related decisions.
