Revolutionary Rising

In today's final episode of podcast (for now!), "The Hard Truth about Self Advocacy," I'm giving you the recipe for self-advocacy success—the actual step-by-step approach to create a sustainable practice that works even when life gets messy. When you listen, you'll learn why self-advocacy feels so unnatural (and how to change that). You'll also get clear on how you can actually learn from failures instead of being discouraged by them. Last, but not least, we'll talk about why accountability is the missing piece in your self-advocacy journey. Here's what's currently getting in your way of advocating for yourself: 1. You're afraid of failure 2. You're fighting external bullshit 3. You have no accountability   Connect with Gieselle: ✨ Apply for 1:1 Coaching: https://gieselleallen.com/1-1-coaching/ ✨ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gieselleallen/ ✨ Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gieselle/

If you want to know how I went from not realizing advocacy was even possible, to being able to teach others how to advocate for themselves, don't skip this week's episode of the podcast.   In this week's episode, "Gieselle enters her Villain Era", I'll talk about: 💣 how racism and patriarchal norms impacted my ability to advocate as a wife and partner  💣 overcoming the trap of being a "good girl" so I could protect my peace 💣 the way advocating for myself actually STRENGTHENED my relationships 💣 allyship and how it changed my ability to advocate for myself   ….among other lessons I've learned over years of building my ability to say "no," speak up for my needs, and create strong ass boundaries. In addition to MY story, you're also getting another gift: Your ears will be blessed by my former client, lead coach, and friend – Olivia Howard. Olivia has so much wisdom around the body, intuition, and her own journey of advocating for herself and creating boundaries, that it was just a no-brainer for me to ask her to interview me for this podcast episode.

In this episode, I'll be breaking down: 👉🏾 how generational trauma creates a cycle of no one having their needs met (even in the workplace!) 👉🏾 questions you can ask yourself to determine what spaces and individuals ARE safe to for you advocate 👉🏾 ways that you can help others see that your needs aren't in conflict, or a threat to their desires and needs   This episode will challenge your feelings of "it's not safe for me to advocate for myself". (in the best way!)   Instead, it'll transform you into someone who knows where, and with whom you can speak up, and who can confidently guide those individuals to lend their support.   Connect with Gieselle: ✨ Apply for 1:1 Coaching: https://gieselleallen.com/1-1-coaching/ ✨ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gieselleallen/ ✨ Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gieselle/
