Men Talking Mindfulness

How to Ask for Help

Listen on

Episode notes

Last week we spoke about the importance of Emotional Awareness and a Support Network - this week, we're taking that one step further in learning HOW to ask for help! Asking for help is the ultimate in vulnerability and not only can get you the help you need but also build or strengthen life long relationships with your friends, family, and colleagues.
