There are two moments an entrepreneur tends to reach for support. One feels like an easy yes, the season when things are working and she is ready to scale. The other feels vulnerable and risky, the season when something is not working, debt may be building, and she has convinced herself she has to climb out of the hole on her own before she is allowed to ask for help. Alecia walks through the questions she asks women sitting in that harder season, the scarcity thinking and big assumptions that keep them stuck, and why the shame of "I should have this figured out by now" is often the real thing standing in the way.  📝 What We Cover in This Episode: -The two seasons when entrepreneurs reach for support, and why one feels like an easy yes while the other feels terrifying -Why waiting until you are "back to center" to get help often keeps you in the hole longer -The two questions to ask yourself first when a big investment in support feels like a risk -How debt in your business is often a band-aid for a big assumption you have not named yet -Why believing you have to know it all or you're a fraud is keeping you from getting paid for what you already know -The reframe that makes spending on the right support feel like an accelerator rather than one more cost -Why the thing actually blocking you is usually shame, and what becomes possible the moment you stop carrying it
