In my opinion, self-advocacy is a vital skill. And it can look different. We self-advocate when we want a new job, confront a coworker or loved one about a boundary crossed, pursue a promotion and a raise, communicate our needs to our romantic partners, or sell our consulting services to a new client.

In those moments, you probably want to feel and give a vibe that shows you are genuinely self-assured, you believe in yourself, and you fuckin’ got this.

Nothing kills the “I fuckin’ got this” energy like the anticipation or perception of rejection. Womp womp. Good news: I have tips.
