The Art of Asking for Help

This episode was born from 45 minutes of pure, unadulterated waiting-room patience, which then spiraled into a conversation about sacred tribes, misdirected care, and why we’d all be better off in a holacracy-run commune in Puerto Rico.
It was… a lot. And in true Interested in Chaos? form, we bring it all together.
We connect the dots between:
The sacred feeling of a true tribe vs. the weaponized version of "community" we see in mobs online.
Jill’s shocking (and frankly, relatable) ability to literally disappear in a waiting room of four people.
The visceral, physical pain that finally forces you to ask for help.
and so much more...
A Moment to Pause in the Chaos
The chaos is our brand, but the point is to find the signal in the noise.
Here are a few quieter takeaways we’re sitting with after recording this one:
Your "Tribe" Should Feel Like a Mirror, Not a Megaphone. A real community reflects you back to yourself with clarity and care. A mob (or a toxic group) just amplifies a single noise until you forget what your own voice sounds like.
Asking for Help is a Metabolic Process. Think of it like this: What are you consuming? What are you creating with it? And what choices are you making as a result? If the system is blocked, everything can turn to poison.
"Do Better" Isn't an Insult, It's an Invitation. It’s the mantra for when you’re complacent, when systems are broken, and when you’ve been sitting in a waiting room for 45 minutes without making a sound. It’s a call to participate in your own life.
Sovereignty is Found in Interdependence. The goal isn’t to be so independent that you never need anyone. It’s to be so secure in yourself that you can freely give and receive without losing who you are.
You are not an island. You are an ecosystem. Tend to your soil.
