Self-Advocation: It Is Worth It, You Are Worth It!

In this episode, Cheddy and Michelle discuss:

• Frustrations with the healthcare industry
• The Difference between being a “squeaky wheel” and a “Karen.”
• How to have a healthy mindset when self advocating.

Key takeaways:

• We are conditioned to accept what is given to us. Sometimes it is important to ensure your specific needs are met; that requires self-advocation.
• Be self aware enough to know whether you are being a “Karen” (Offensive advocation) or advocating for your particular needs.
• Know you deserve to be seen, heard, and have your needs addressed appropriately. 
• Know the difference between legitimate and unhealthy advocation.
