What’s Balance Got To Do With It? - Heather Andrews and Sarah Konelsky Lisa Berry

Beyond The Chapter Interview Series Episode Two brings a difficult and what seems like a challenging task of asking for help and support to light. These two authors share how asking for help was what they needed but in the beginning judgement, shame, expectations, and superhero syndrome kept them from being able to do so. Learning how to wisely reach out for help opened doors to overcoming a lot of pain and prevented living a future life full of resentments. When we don t or can t ask for help we end up writing our own story differently than we want. We lose connection, not just with loved ones and community but also we become disconnected from our passions, our purpose, and our selves. By asking for help, often in non-conventional ways, I have learned to cope restore my sense of balance ~ Sarah Konelsky Healthy balance comes from ongoing awareness of what you tell yourself in the story of your life ~ Heather Andrews Whether you need help while caring for another; an elderly parent, children, someone with an illness or disease or even yourself needing support along life s journey, today s guests share the upside of asking for help and inspires listeners to imagine the lightness and ease of what support, guidance and help brings.
