Own Your Voice: A Journey of Courageous Self-Advocacy

Own Your Voice: A 4-Week Journey to Courageous Self-Advocacy

Course Overview
Own Your Voice is a transformational 2 session experience that helps participants build the clarity, confidence, and real-world skills to self-advocate in healthcare, work, and everyday life.
Through guided reflection, practical tools, and courageous communication practices, participants learn how to recognize their needs, express them clearly, and create solutions through dialogue rather than conflict.

This is for you if...

• You know what matters to you but struggle to express it in a way that feels clear or grounded.
• You often put others’ needs ahead of your own and want to learn how to ask for support even when guilt or fear of conflict arises.
• You’ve felt dismissed or misunderstood in healthcare, work, or personal situations and want tools to communicate your needs effectively.
• You’re ready to build self-trust and learn how to hold steady when emotions arise during important conversations.
• You want a step-by-step approach to self-advocacy that feels both practical and empowering. Something you can use in real life, not just reflect on.

By the end of the program, you will be able to:

• Identify and articulate your needs through emotional, physical, and intuitive awareness
• Communicate those needs with clarity, compassion, and confidence
• Build boundaries that protect your energy and values while maintaining connection
• Engage in conversations that invite collaboration and understanding
• Develop a personalized approach to self-advocacy you can apply across life and work

Whether you’re navigating health systems, workplace environments, relationships, or personal growth, you’ll gain tools that help you move from silence to self-expression, from reaction to aligned action.

What We’ll Explore Together

Foundations of Self-Advocacy
Understand the 9 Steps to Self-Advocacy — from identifying needs and assessing impact to planning, communicating, and following through. Begin building the foundation of clarity and self-trust.

Emotional Awareness + Boundaries
Learn how to notice and work with your emotions without being ruled by them. Explore healthy, flexible boundaries that honour your well-being and relationships at the same time.

Working With Inner Barriers
Bring awareness to the quiet patterns that hold you back — perfectionism, fear of conflict, self-doubt — and learn practical tools to stay present and grounded through change.

Courageous Communication
Integrate your learning through step-by-step communication practices, including acceptance, generous listening, separating facts from stories, and co-creating solutions that work for everyone involved.

Own Your Voice is more than a course, it’s a practice of clarity, courage, and connection.
It helps you move from hesitation to grounded self-expression, so you can speak your truth and stand in your needs with confidence and care.
