As we learn, The 3rd episode in their impromptu series on life's ups and downs, follows the progress of Sam & Paul's journeys through boiling point (1st) and swinging between extremes (2nd). Ignorance is not bliss. In fact, it tends to make life hell. As we learn, we are likely to move through 4 stages of competence - rarely jumping from Unconscious Incompetence (ignorance!) directly to Unconscious Competence (mastery!). Along the way, we pass through Conscious Incompetence (aware but struggling), and hopefully into Conscious Competence (aware and succeeding). Join Paul and Sam as they explore how their actions (no matter how imperfect/perfect, small/large) move them through the challenge of overwhelm and unresourcefulness, and into more aware states of learning, choice and empowerment; where things aren't all rosy but are a darn sight less ugly!

Something we've lost touch with the ability to do. We feel uncomfortable and vulnerable; and like we've failed or can't handle the pressure. But when it's offered, we're suspicious of the motive. Asking for help seems to be one of those dying arts. Something we've lost touch with the ability to do. We feel uncomfortable and vulnerable; and like we've failed or can't handle the pressure. But when it's offered, we're suspicious of the motive. Whilst the perfectionist or overachiever in us cringes at the thought of requesting assistance and sharing the load, our controlling aspects can feel desperate and frustrated, and this seems to add to our stress and uncertainty. Yet receiving help can be both a miracle and a gift - helping us to make progress and overcome challenges, whilst empowering the giver-of-help with a sense of achievement and purpose. They say two heads are better than one, so Gina & Sam put theirs' together to explore just why asking for help is so hard, and how we can take small steps towards fruitful collaboration.
