In this first In the Meantime mini episode, Luan reflects on a common misconception: that self-advocacy in healthcare means going in hard, pushing back or being seen as “difficult.”
But true self-advocacy isn’t necessarily about confrontation. It’s about clarity, confidence and collaboration.
Drawing on years of experience in breast cancer advocacy, hundreds of conversations in the cancer community, and lessons from Regarding Me guests, Luan unpacks what self-advocacy really looks like, and names the self-advocacy gap that may hold so many women back from speaking up in their healthcare.
Hit play—and let’s rethink what self-advocacy really looks like.
