Let’s Talk About It: Self-Advocacy, Boundaries, and Learning to Take Up Space

Welcome back to Be Well.

In this solo episode, Alex Sublette dives into the power of self-advocacy and why learning to speak up for yourself can be one of the most important parts of healing and personal growth. Drawing from her own experiences navigating recovery, work, relationships, and difficult life moments, Alex shares honest reflections on the fears that often hold us back from advocating for our needs.

Through personal stories and practical insights, she explores how to start building confidence, set healthy boundaries, and move through the discomfort that often comes with saying no or asking for what you deserve. Alex reminds listeners that self-advocacy is not selfish. It is a skill that can be built one small step at a time.

This episode is an invitation to challenge the belief that your needs are too much and to start practicing the courage it takes to take up space in your own life.
