I am Hope in the Chaos
Becoming Your Own Advocate
Silence isn’t safety. It’s heavy. And for a long time, I believed staying quiet about my needs would protect me. But the truth? Silence only made me feel smaller, unseen, and weighed down by the chaos inside.
In this episode, I share how I began the journey of becoming my own advocate — from the shaky, uncomfortable first steps to the small daily choices that continue to remind me: my needs matter, my voice matters, and I matter.
We’ll talk about what self-advocacy really looks like in everyday life, why it doesn’t have to be perfect or loud to be powerful, and simple ways you can begin practicing it for yourself today.
Because when you learn to advocate for yourself, you create the courage to be a voice of hope for others too.
✨ Take a listen and be reminded: your voice belongs here.
