Help Is Just a Shout Away: Why We All Need Each Other

Love Notes from Rhonda

Is asking for help a sign of weakness, or the bravest step you can take? In this episode, Rhonda explores why help—seen and unseen—is at the heart of becoming who we’re meant to be. Discover why turning away help is costly, how to discern the support you need, and the gentle courage of truly asking.

Today, I want to talk about the word “help.” From the moment we come into this world, help is how we grow, thrive, and move closer to our dreams. But somewhere along the way, we may start refusing help, pushing it away, hoping for it in secret, or believing independence means we can do it all on our own.

I share how asking for help is an act of emotional intelligence and charity, not weakness. We explore the courage it takes to ask, the difference between visible and invisible help, and why refusing support is an illusion that keeps us separate and stuck. Together, let’s uncover where you may be turning away help, and discover how opening up to support can bring you closer to becoming all you’re destined to be.

If you’ve ever found yourself afraid to ask, or hoping help would appear without ever uttering the words, this episode invites you to see help as your birthright—and your next step in the cycle of love.

What You’ll Discover

Key Takeaway

No one succeeds alone—not me, not you. The willingness to ask for and receive help is the catalyst for becoming who you were born to be.

Key Quote

“Asking for help is critical for us to become who we are born to be. Because no one can become who they’re born to be alone. Not me. Not you.”
