In life, things can pass you by or they may not go your way. Sometimes you may notice someone else struggling or having a conflict. In either situation, a possible solution may be to speak up! This doesn't mean you become a "Karen" as the term has been coined for all of the wrong ways to approach a situation. (sorry for all of the good people out there named Karen, I know you are out there! I know because I know a few.)  

However, to speak up actually means taking a reasonable approach and using your voice to help. In this episode, I go over this topic and show one example of how the students and parents at the Big Picture Academy spoke up to fight for their school!
