The 7 Roadblocks to Asking for What You Want – Crystal Dwyer Hansen

Uncover the 7 Roadblocks Holding You Back from Asking for Success 🚧 | Real Power Family Radio Show Ep. 189 w/ Crystal Dwyer Hansen

In this episode of The Real Power Family Radio Show, Crystal Dwyer Hansen, co-author of 𝑨𝒔𝒌: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆 𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒚, breaks down the seven critical roadblocks preventing people from asking the right questions to move forward in life. From unworthiness to fear, this discussion is a deep dive into the psychological and emotional barriers that hold many back from achieving their dreams. Whether in personal or business relationships, asking the right questions is the key to unlocking success—and Crystal shows you how.

1) 𝗨𝗻𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀:
This roadblock stems from childhood conditioning that subtly reinforces the idea that we’re "not good enough." Crystal emphasizes that feeling unworthy prevents many from asking for help, opportunities, or anything else that could help them grow. Overcoming this begins by realizing that you are worthy of everything you're dreaming of.

2) 𝗡𝗮𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘁𝘆:
You don’t know what you don’t know. Crystal shares a story about discovering a new fruit (mangoes!) late in life, making her realize she’d been missing out. The same can happen in life—we may be walking past opportunities, people, or resources because we aren’t aware of what’s possible. Be curious. Look around. The world is full of opportunities when you open your eyes.

3) 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝘁:
Many get stuck in doubt, unsure whether asking for help or guidance will be received positively. This “gray zone” keeps people stagnant. But Crystal reminds us that doubt is just a roadblock. Step out of the gray and into clarity by asking the right questions, even if you're uncertain of the outcome.

4) 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀:
This is often driven by pride. Crystal talks about how some people refuse to ask for help, feeling like they know the way, but then they get stuck in place. Sometimes you need to put pride aside and simply ask for guidance or advice. This is particularly common in those who feel like they should already know everything.

5) 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗿:
Fear can paralyze action. Whether it’s fear of rejection, judgment, or loss of approval, this is one of the most common roadblocks. Even successful people like Ed Mylett admit to being afraid to ask simple questions. Crystal encourages everyone to question why they’re afraid—because in most cases, the fear is unfounded.

6) 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀:
Being stuck in a routine or behavior pattern can be a huge roadblock. If you're doing the same thing week after week and getting nowhere, it’s time to break the cycle. Crystal emphasizes the importance of questioning your routines and habits to move forward.

7) 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
Perhaps the most tragic roadblock, disconnection happens when people become disconnected from their dreams. They’ve faced so many disappointments that they give up entirely. Crystal urges anyone feeling this to reconnect with their dreams—your destiny is waiting, but you have to ask for it.
