Ep. 27: Why is it so difficult for some people to ask for help?

Many people find elements of shame and self-loathing when faced with having to ask for assistance. This week, as COVID-19 turns American society into a mosaic of anxiety, I speak with Amina Bey, executive director of Newark Emergency Services for Families. We discuss the vulnerability involved in accepting help but also the strength in knowing how to ask for it. In addition, we explore how to listen to people seeking assistance and also graceful ways to let people know when you are unable to assist them.
