The webinar “The Self-Advocacy Bill of Rights: 10 Rights You Already Have (But May Not Be Using)” is a practical, trauma-informed introduction to the SABOR Framework, a 10-part roadmap for speaking up for yourself without guilt, burnout, or conflict. During this session, Courtney Trevino, Founder & CEO of Mindful Advocacy, helps you understand how childhood messages, workplace culture, gender expectations, and trauma conditioning have trained you to stay quiet, over-give, and second-guess your own needs—and how to start reclaiming your right to take up space.
You’ll learn what self-advocacy actually is (and what it isn’t), explore the shift from permission-based thinking (“Am I allowed to say no?”) to rights-based thinking (“I have the right to say no”), and walk through the 10 SABOR rights, including the rights to know yourself, set boundaries, say no, speak up, trust yourself, and celebrate your wins. Through examples, reflection prompts, and simple scripts, you’ll leave with language you can start using right away to protect your energy, honor your limits, and communicate your needs with more clarity and confidence—without feeling “selfish” or “difficult.”
