Hello 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. ❤️

Are we putting ourselves second?

Hi Morgan, Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate it. I can definitely relate to a lot of things you’ve said. 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

Wow, this was just so spot on. I think I'm going to watch it a few more times. You are great. Thanks
