This week Kelly explores the emotional journey of planning a family trip to Germany and Paris—an adventure sparked by her son’s acceptance into a work-study program abroad. What began as an exciting opportunity quickly spiraled into stress as Kelly tried to plan the trip solo, while balancing a demanding work project.
Through her story, Kelly reveals the powerful lesson that sometimes, the biggest breakthrough comes when we ask for support. With a mix of humor, vulnerability, and inspiration, she shares how enlisting the help of close friends turned her overwhelmed anxiety into excitement and possibility.
Key Themes:
- How support often arrives in unexpected forms—what Kelly calls “gifts in strange wrapping paper.”
- The difference between help (doing it for someone) and support (coming alongside someone).
- Why many people struggle to ask for help, and how that mindset holds us back.
- Practical guidelines for seeking support effectively: Be specific, respect autonomy, express gratitude, and set clear parameters.
Quote to Remember:
“When we bring in support and teamwork—not to take over, but to walk alongside us—we not only move faster, but the journey becomes more joyful and fulfilling.”
Call to Action:
Kelly invites listeners to reflect on a personal goal or dream, and to dare to ask for the support needed to achieve it. She encourages sharing stories on her Facebook page about what it felt like to ask, who showed up, and how it changed the path forward.
