S2 Episode 4: Advocate for Yourself Because No One Else Will
Episode Summary
Advocacy and self-preservation go hand in hand. You cannot have one without the other. Yet, females are often discouraged from developing and honing their advocacy skills at an early age. This needs to stop. Advocacy is beneficial for individuals and couples alike. It is a skill set that can literally save your life!
It is healthy to be able to identify your wants and needs to others, especially in a romantic relationship. Your partner is not a mind-reader. The only way they can respect your boundaries and fulfill your desires is if they are aware of what these are.
People who can advocate on their own behalf will be able to advocate for others, especially in times of stress. You must get comfortable making your voice heard and respected. You owe it to yourself and to any person who may be dependent on you, such as a child, an elderly family member or even your partner. Moreover, the more you practice advocacy, the better you get at establishing boundaries without offending others. Finding your voice empowers you to build healthy relationships.
At the end of each episode, Marlee and Lis vent about commonly experienced issues in romantic relationships. In this episode, the ladies discuss long-distance relationships and the impact they have on your happiness.
Show Notes
In relationships, you have to look out for your own self-interests. No one can look out for you better than you can. Men are typically taught this from a young age, whereas women are sometimes conditioned to people please because putting your needs first is “rude.” It’s time to throw that out the door.
The moment you depend on another person to put your self-interests first, you will lose. Even if the person loves you, they will still put their interests first most of the time. If you can advocate for yourself, you can express what you need from your partner.
A person who is very good at advocating for others typically knows how to advocate for themselves. If you ever come to a moment where you need to advocate for your partner or your children, it will come from a place of knowing how important it is to express your needs too. Advocacy isn’t just setting boundaries and communicating them, it’s understanding what really matters to you.
Every day you should practice advocating for yourself, especially if it doesn’t come naturally to you. You have needs, wants, and desires. That’s okay, and you are allowed to express it. When two people in a relationship can advocate for themselves and each other, they become a powerful unit.
In this episode, the vent session topic is: When people waste time on long-distance relationships that were doomed to fail. Words are nothing without action, and with distance between you most actions are near impossible. It stops people from being present and moving forward in their lives. It wastes time and energy for both people, and they rarely work out in the end.
