14. How to Feel Comfortable Asking for Help with Lindsay Kruse, Leadership Consultant

We all know the quote – “It takes a village.” How strong is your village? How often do you ask for help? 

In this episode, Analiza talks with Lindsay Kruse, a Leadership and Strategy Consultant. Lindsay shares how starting from childhood, she was a mom to everyone, taking care of friends, her schoolmates, and her community. After getting her BS from Cornell and her MBA from Columbia University, Lindsay’s willingness to take care of everyone led her to getting more responsibilities and leadership roles in consulting and then later in education. Lindsay shares the breakdown moment as a new mom when she decides to stop doing everything herself and start building her village and asking for help.

In Boss Mamas, we talk about the strategy of Calling Your Community. We know that we aren’t alone and can ask for help not only from close friends and family but from people we don’t know well. Lindsay is a great example of this. She’ll share the specific strategies she took to go from rarely asking for help to asking for help as a go-to strategy. Lindsay realized that being a Boss Mama was less about appearing strong and together and more about supporting and caring for her community.
