September 2022 - Self-Advocacy

If self-advocacy were easy, we would all consistently do it.

Self-advocacy often requires us to step outside our comfort zone, perhaps coming to the uncomfortable realization that we can't do it all. Advocating for ourselves may also necessitate putting other people in a position they would rather not be in by saying no or establishing boundaries. It is so much easier to just say yes and accommodate everyone else, but we all know it isn't sustainable.

My invitation to you this month is to reflect on how you can even more deeply embrace self-advocacy for the benefit of yourself and of others.
