Lisa McDonald started us off strong: “It’s not boasting. It’s telling your story.” She learned to advocate for herself by getting out of an abusive relationship. She suggests rather than saying, “I'm great in this” say, “here's how I serve someone else.” This is self-advocating because as you're demonstrating how your value impacts other people.
Glady Baradaran went next saying you can have both. “You can be caring, compassionate, loving, supportive. And at the same time, do self-care and advocate for yourself.”
Diane Helbig added that once we know how to advocate for ourselves, we are then in a position to teach other people how to do it. She also asked the question, does there need to be an event, a breaking point if you will, that causes us to say, “no more” and then advocating for ourselves gets easier?
There also has to be a part of you that decides, “I don't care if you think I'm difficult. I've decided that your opinion does not matter enough for me to subvert my needs to make you happy.”
This was such a great conversation. What can you add? How did you learn to stand up for yourself?
