About this episode
Who told you it was shameful to need help? In this episode of Happy, Healthy, Whole, and Rich, Tina Brinkley Potts unpacks the myth of hyper-independence and why carrying it all yourself isn’t strength—it’s survival. From her own journey of losing her father young, stepping into adult responsibilities early, and later realizing how walls of “strength” kept her from receiving, Tina shares why true wholeness requires both giving and receiving. Drawing from Galatians 6:2 ( “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” ), this episode reframes support as sacred. You’ll learn why resting, asking, and receiving are not weaknesses but spiritual practices that align you with overflow. ✨ In this episode: How hyper-independence is often a trauma response Why receiving support doesn’t make you weak—it makes you ready The deeper meaning behind Tina’s choice not to celebrate holidays How giving and receiving keep you aligned with Source’s flow A guided practice to release the shame of needing help If you’ve been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, this conversation is your permission slip to put the backpack down and let yourself be supported.
