The Story Behind This Quote
I originally wrote this quote for my clients, long before my business looked the way it does now. I wrote it because I understand. I’ve needed help too, in different seasons and different areas of my life. And the truth is, I still do. As I’ve grown, the support I’ve needed has evolved. The mentor who was perfect for me ten years ago wouldn’t be the mentor I choose today, and that’s a good sign, it means I’ve upgraded. Just like you wouldn’t expect your prep teacher to guide you through Year 12, we outgrow the level of guidance we once had. And sometimes, even when someone has been saying the same message for years, we only finally “get it” when we hear it said in a different way. That’s why this quote still matters to me. Because asking for help isn’t weakness, it’s human. Society used to shame us into thinking otherwise. Thankfully, we’re moving beyond that. Olympians have coaches, executives have mentors, and the rest of us need counsellors, guides and supporters who can help us navigate the stuff that weighs us down or muddles our minds. I wrote this because I know exactly how it feels to be the strong one who suddenly can’t carry everything alone. And I know the relief that comes when you finally allow someone to walk beside you. This is why I do the work I do. Not from a pedestal, but from experience. I’ve walked this path. I’ve needed support. I still need support. And this quote was my way of saying to my clients, you’re normal, you’re not alone, and it’s okay to ask for help. If you’re ready for the next level of support, you know where to find me. 🌱 Message me You don’t have to do it alone. You never did.
