It’s Time to Invest in Your Happiness
Episode 4: Biz Cush on Asking for Help
Too many women focus all their energy on others and don’t stop to take care of themselves. If that sounds familiar, this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman is for you! Elizabeth Cush talks about how coaching can help—if you ask.
“Taking care of others is what I do best. And yet, when it comes to taking care of me, it takes effort.”
Show Notes:
If you’ve been listening to the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, or the Woman Worriers podcast before that, you know that we all have parts of ourselves that can be harsh. Although they may be trying to protect us, they can actually keep us from taking care of ourselves. In this episode, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, talks about how difficult it can be when those parts show up. She shares her own struggles with learning to ask for help when those voices tell her that she shouldn’t need—or ask for—help or that her struggle isn’t that bad. She talks about what changed and set her on her journey back to her authentic self and what your life could be like if you reached out.
