Thank you for this lovely conversation! I really felt the part about being in community and asking for and accepting help. I'm working to heal my "eldest daughter syndrome" and one quote that has really stuck with me is from Brené Brown: "When you judge yourself for needing help, you judge those you are helping. When you attach value to giving help, you attach value to needing help. The danger of tying your self-worth to being a helper is feeling shame when you have to ask for help. Offering help is courageous and compassionate, but so is asking for help." Maybe someday we'll all be helping each other and nurturing our communities because that's just another beautiful thing humans do, like art and dance and play ❤️
