The Courage to Ask for Help – Breaking the Stigma Around Vulnerability

Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a sign of strength. In this episode, we dive into the stigma surrounding vulnerability, especially in military and leadership roles, where self-reliance is ingrained. I share my personal journey of struggling to ask for help, how my mentor Scott Young changed my perspective, and the lessons I’ve learned about mental health and leadership.
With insights from Simon Sinek’s Leaders Eat Last and research from the Military Health System, we explore how leaders can create safe environments for others to speak up. If you've ever felt like you had to handle everything alone, this episode is for you.
Challenge for this week: Take one step—big or small—toward asking for help or checking in on someone who might be struggling.
🎧 Listen now and let’s break the stigma together.
