Are you putting yourself second?
Added 2023-06-04 13:05:22 +0000 UTCHello and happy Sunday, I hope you're having a beautiful day and a beautiful weekend. ☀️
Some weeks back, after the case study I posted on learning to say no, there were a few requests that I share some lower stakes examples, especially in romantic or sexual relationships. So today, I'll explore more nuance around self advocacy and making sure our needs don't take a back seat.
If this isn't an issue for you, maybe someone you love struggles with it. So I hope it could also be helpful in terms of understanding how we support people who are trying to break that cycle.
Chapters:
- 00.00 Intro / Naming it
- 02.07 How do we know it's happening?
- 04.03 Do we see it as a virtue?
- 06.12 Is there a self worth struggle?
- 07.40 What if we feel selfish? What if they get mad?
- 09.46 What if we agreed to be 2nd?
- 11.43 How do we turn it around? (with examples)
- 16.06 Temptation to overcorrect
- 17.39 Outro
As always, not all these examples or opinions will apply to you, so please take what resonates and leave the rest. ❤️

I think it’s so interesting that advocating for my needs can feel like such a burden. But when it’s eventually done, it’s actually not such a big of a deal. I am learning to take up more space and express myself more freely. You’re content is very helpful, thank you <3
