This week on Raised to Empower, we’re talking advocacy—what it looks like for therapist moms, why it’s an ethical part of our work, and how it can be meaningful without burning you out.

Feeling like advocacy is too big, too political, or just too much? This is your reminder that it doesn’t have to be. 

In this episode, I break down three simple ways therapists can make a real difference without adding stress to an already busy schedule:

• Educate Clients on Rights & Resources. Empower clients with knowledge about their options, support groups, or services. Even small info-sharing can shift them from powerlessness to agency.
• Take Quick Bite-sized Actions. Tools like the Five Calls app make advocacy accessible. A few minutes calling a representative or using a script creates ripple effects.
• Amplify Others’ Advocacy on Social Media. Share posts, comment, or acknowledge others’ work. Visibility matters; lifting voices online models courage for clients, communities, and children.

Meaningful change can happen for your clients and your community thanks to these small, practical steps. Listen in, and let’s start making a difference today.
