 I (Lara here today) was recently talking to a friend about how it often feels like everyone has life more together than we do. That everyone is happier, less stressed, and hitting goal after goal. The truth of the matter is that we are never seeing the full picture, that a lot more people are out there struggling than you think. That’s why I think conversations like the one Rowan and I had in today’s episode are so important. We want you to remember that you’re not alone, you deserve to get help and support, and that asking for help is NOT weak.Related episodes People PleasingSaying noWant more of Lara and Rowan?Rowan is available for speaking engagements, and Lara has coaching spots available.Transcripts(please note: we do not carefully edit these transcripts and there might be errors)00:00:00] Lara: we don't need to do what was always done just because that was what was always done.We get to stop and say, Hey, you know what would be better? Taking care of ourselves, you know, what would be better? Taking advantage of things when it comes to like the world of medicine, Welcome to unboxing it. I'm Lara.[00:00:38] Rowan: And I'm Rowan.[00:00:40] Lara: And today we're gonna start off with a little bit of a discussion about how we always have a discussion before we start recording. So we get on a call and theoretically we're gonna start recording and then it takes at least half an hour 'cause we have things to say.[00:00:56] Rowan: Yeah, at least, we're always catching up first.[00:00:58] Lara: And we decide from our list of topics what we're gonna talk about. And so today we picked our topic and I said, Hey Rowan, do you want to introduce the topic?[00:01:11] Rowan: And I said, uh, yeah. Okay.[00:01:15] Lara: Yeah. And then I said, Hey, did you say yes when you meant no?[00:01:21] Rowan: AndI said, uh, yeah, I did.[00:01:25] Lara: Yeah, you did. And uh, gosh, what I do like is that I now have started noticing when I do that and when other people do it, and I appreciate when people call me out on it. So hopefully you appreciate it when I called you out on it.[00:01:41] Rowan: Oh yeah, I did because like I didn't want to intro this topic and, once we say what the topic is and why it's relevant right now, I think people will understand.But yeah, I just, I'm not in a place to take lead on it this week.[00:01:56] Lara: Yeah. But we so often say yes because we think somebody wants us to do a thing. It's got a bit of a people pleasing. Nature to it, or I should do it. And so yeah, we thought we'd mention that because it's a little bit of a thing. I hope everybody starts to notice.Like you don't have to say yes just because somebody asked you to do something. In fact, I would say the other person doesn't even always expect you to say yes, but sometimes you think they do and therefore you have to say yes. And so taking a little bit of that away and just being like. No.[00:02:32] Rowan: I like the way you said it too.No,no, no, no. Right. There's this idea, these habits are so ingrained in us, right? These people pleasing habits. And there's this idea that's like, well, I don't wanna let you down and I was running through my head. I'm like, how many have I introduced versus, how many have you introduced the topic of it?Like, oh, okay. I'll just, yeah. Just say yes, yes, yes, I will do it. Yes. And it's nice. I think it shows honestly, not experts in a lot of the topics that we're talking about. And even if we were experts also often become experts in a topic because they have lived experience in that topic.I know a lot about people pleasing, and I will tell you that most of the time I am quite good at setting boundaries these days, but I do fall into that. What if I let somebody down mentality and I did today. So yeah. Thank you for calling me out on[00:03:33] Lara: that. No problem. Uh. We all do it. I think we all do it.So it's just a good reminder. You don't have to say yes all the time. And I think again, that the expectation isn't even always that somebody needs you to say yes when they ask you a question, but I think most of the time people believe it is. And I often like to remind people like it was just a question.[00:03:56] Rowan: That's right. It is just a question.[00:03:58] Lara: so hi. I'm gonna introduce the topic today, not Rowan. and we're gonna talk about the difference between mental health and physical health and the kinds of help you can get with those, whether it's medication, I think it also follows through to other kinds of therapies you might get, but that they don't always feel the same and it can feel harder.To ask for help to go get help, to start receiving help when it's on the side of mental health[00:04:28] Rowan: in a very big way.[00:04:31] Lara: So we're gonna talk about that a little bit because Rowan and I both believe that. In a like logic in our heads kind of way that it shouldn't be different and that we should all go and ask for the kind of help we need when we need it,...
