She’s smart. She’s capable. She’s independent. But is she brave enough to ask for help? In a culture that idolizes self-sufficiency and pushes girls to “be your own hero,” many daughters are quietly drowning under the weight of silent struggles—too afraid to reach out for fear of being seen as weak, too used to hearing that needing others is a flaw. But what if asking for help isn’t weakness at all? What if it’s wisdom? This week on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden dive into one of the most countercultural lessons a parent can teach their daughter: how to embrace Biblical dependence. With honesty, humor, and Scripture, they unpack how girls today are wrestling with anxiety, control, and perfectionism—and how learning to ask for help might just be the freedom they’ve been praying for. Drawing from Isaiah 41:10 and Galatians 6:2, this episode encourages moms to model courageous vulnerability and practical interdependence. Through personal stories, faith-based parenting tips, and a powerful RGG Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay on the link between anxiety and control, this conversation will help you identify where your daughter needs support—and how you can help her ask for it with confidence. In this episode, you’ll learn: How to normalize asking for help in everyday moments with your daughter Practical ways to teach her to discern what’s hers to carry—and what belongs in God’s hands Why modeling your own dependence on God and community is essential in her discipleship How AHG equips girls to grow through mentorship, community, and Christ-centered leadership Scriptures Referenced: Isaiah 41:10 – “I will strengthen you and help you…” Galatians 6:2 – “Carry each other’s burdens…” James 1:5 – “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God…” When your daughter learns that strength isn’t found in doing it all alone—but in leaning on Christ and His people—she will walk through life with resilience, grace, and godly wisdom. So let’s model that truth boldly. Let’s raise girls who are strong enough to admit when they’re not okay, wise enough to ask for help, and faithful enough to believe that God will answer.
