If you're a Real Talk, Real Change fan club member, you'll know that Shannon and Elisha drop weekly voice memos to put a lil' pep in your day - and Shannon's latest was about self-advocacy. Why do we find it so freaking difficult to put our best needs on the table, at work, in a relationship, with our family? It's surprisingly common for people pleasers to take on way too much by saying "Yes" to absolutely everything. And it's because we often feel our worth is based on what we can give to others, but this always leads down a path to resentment, passive aggressiveness, and discontent. It's a struggle to self advocate, we get it, but with practice - and some guidance from your hosts who have BEEN THERE - you can make your every relationship so much better. Listen in on Elisha and Shannon's evolution from "Yes" gals to self advocating pros, and never give up your place to a gym bro ever again.
