In Episode 20 of Unapologetically, with friend and host Jaci, I talk about the importance of self-advocacy at work, a term I coin “Be Your Own Press”.

As job markets shift, layoffs continue, and promotion pathways evolve, many professionals are left with fewer things they feel they can control. Advocating for yourself becomes one of the most important.

“But wait, it feels SO cringy to just talk about my accomplishments. What if I come off boastful or lacking humility?” This episode explores that tension directly.

Self-advocacy at work is not about bragging. It is about clearly communicating your value in a way that feels honest and grounded. It is a skill that develops through practice, as you learn language that fits who you are and how you want to show up.

“Be Your Own Press” is about building the confidence to speak about your work without shrinking or overcompensating. It is about showing up with clarity when it matters most.
