As women, many of us were taught to not speak up, to play nice, don’t rock the boat etc and after years of swallowing our own voice we lose connection with ourselves and our truth. And then when it come to speaking up in our careers, in relationships or even advocating for ourselves in medical situations it can be very difficult.
