"You're not weak for asking for help, and you're not weak for asking for support."
In this refreshing bite-sized edition of The Squats and Sober Thoughts Podcast, host Max Larocque takes a candid look at the importance of asking for help without feeling weak. Max, who is juggling a busy life with a new home and a packed client schedule, shares his own experiences with addiction and mental health. He opens up about the challenges of maintaining sobriety and the vital role that support systems play in personal growth.
Max's approach is relatable and down-to-earth, as he admits to struggling with consistency in recording longer episodes. Instead, he's opted for these shorter, more manageable podcasts to keep the conversation flowing. His honesty about the daunting nature of longer commitments is something many can relate to, and his solution—bite-sized episodes—offers a practical tip for anyone feeling overwhelmed. Throughout the episode, Max highlights the significance of reaching out for support from therapists, friends, or family when life gets tough.
He shares his own journey of learning to rely less on his therapist, Stu, and more on his inner strength. Yet, he stresses that seeking help is not a sign of weakness but rather an essential part of human resilience. Max's message is clear: you're not alone in your struggles, and it's okay to lean on others. This podcast episode serves as a reminder that even those who seem to have it all together need support too.
So, if you're looking for an authentic voice that champions vulnerability and growth, this bite-sized episode is worth a listen.
