The Ask
ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT + NEED – WITHOUT THE FEAR THAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR TOO MUCH
You know that pit in your stomach when you need to ask for something important?
The one that comes with a highlight reel of every time someone judged you for having needs, made you feel small for asking, or shut you down completely.
And now you're stuck.
Watching others confidently advocate for themselves while you scramble for the "right" words (only to backtrack), wait silently hoping others will read your mind, or question if you're even "allowed" to ask for what you need.
Sound familiar?
What you want is simple: to feel confident asking for what you need.
But what you truly crave is deeper – to know in your bones that having needs is normal, that asking for them to be met isn't just okay, it's essential for building real relationships where you can be authentically you.
I get it. And I've created something specifically for people like us.
The Ask is a digital program that will teach you how ask for exactly what you want + need, without the fear that you’re asking for too much
OVER THE COURSE OF 12, EASILY DIGESTIBLE MODULES, YOU WILL LEARN:
Get crystal clear on your needs so you can enter difficult conversations feeling grounded + prepared
Navigate tricky talks with simple scripts, including how to have those "hey, can we talk about how we talk?" conversations
Take care of your heart when things don't go as planned, with gentle tools for processing disappointment
Get comfortable receiving what you ask for, even when part of you wants to hide under the covers
Stay steady when you're feeling shaky, with practical ways to support yourself through vulnerable moments
Get creative about meeting your needs when you hear "no" - there's usually more than one path forward!
Most of us never learned how to ask for what we need - it wasn't taught, and chances are we rarely saw it modeled in a healthy way. Instead, we picked up patterns of hinting, hoping, or staying quiet.
The Ask breaks these conversations down into manageable steps, helping you build confidence without treating every "no" as rejection.
With practice, you'll start seeing that asking for what you need isn't just okay - it's a vital skill for building stronger relationships.
As an on-demand digital program, The Ask is there whenever and wherever you need it.

Struggling to ask for what you need isn't a flaw – it's a natural response to a system that benefits from your silence.
Think about it: maybe it's your boss who relies on you never saying no, or friends who've grown comfortable with your endless giving. The status quo thrives when you keep your needs hidden.
But you're here because something in you is burning for more. For deeper connections. For equal partnerships. For the right to take up space with your needs.
This program isn't just about learning to ask – it's an initiation into a new way of being.
Yes, speaking up might reshape some relationships. Yes, it might make waves when you stop being the person who always says yes. And yes, that can be scary.
But that fire inside you? The one whispering "I deserve more"? That's the part of you that I created The Ask for.
For the part of you ready to speak your needs aloud, even if your voice shakes.
For the part of you that knows deeper connection is possible – and is brave enough to reach for it.
Hey there. I’m Mara.

For so long, I thought the problem was me. That I needed to want less, ask for less, be less.
Maybe you know that feeling - that voice telling you you're "too much," that fear that asking will ruin everything, that belief that you should just make do with less.
But here's the truth: The problem isn't having needs - it's believing we shouldn't have them at all.
I've spent fifteen years helping people transform their relationship with needs, and I'll tell you what I know for sure: You can learn to ask for what you need without apology. Without constantly compromising. Without believing you're "too much."
The secret? It's not about "fixing" yourself or pretending you're not scared. It's about working with yourself - honoring both your desires and your fears. That's why The Ask combines inner work with practical steps. Because you need both to show up comfortably and confidently in these conversations.
Here's the real talk: Your relationships become deeper when you risk being seen in your needs. And it goes beyond just you - when one person learns to advocate for their needs with courage and love, it creates ripples. It gives others permission to do the same.
That's why I created The Ask. Because I want you to experience having your needs met in ways more expansive and satisfying than you've ever imagined. No more believing that having needs is wrong.
Ready? Let's do this.
