How to Get What You Really Want by Advocating with Heather Hansen

As moms, we often put our needs last. So many of us believe it’s our job to take care of everyone in our family all the time and if there’s anything left over, then we can maybe do something small for ourselves. But that’s just a great way to burn ourselves out. If we could just make a shift in our thought process on where we fall in the family needs hierarchy and then start speaking up for what we need, we could accomplish so much more!   In this episode, we’re discussing how to advocate for yourself with Heather Hansen. She’s a self-advocacy expert, on-air legal analyst, author, and award-winning trial attorney. Her specialty is self-advocacy and how to use those tools in everyday situations.    We talk about the importance of putting yourself on that list of priorities and how to ditch the guilt so we can truly be happy getting what we need in life.
