    Thats why you gotta practice!

    The more you do it the easier it gets, and the better job you can do of advocating for yourself, setting boundaries, and communicating how you feel!

    Its an important skill, the people who love you depend on you to communicate your needs and what you are and aren’t okay with so that they can respect your wants and needs, and getting better at it builds healthier relationships! ❤️

        The manager of my bakery who earns 17€/hour and gets up at 2am six days a week to open the bakery so no one else has to is not a cop. She greeted me with a double espresso with hot oat milk and having already clocked me in. I normally drink a double espresso with room temperature oat milk. But go off, I guess.
