Do you feel like you have to “pick your battles” when trying to do your job or are you able to freely speak your mind and advocate for yourself, position, the clients you serve, etc.?

I definitely feel like I have to pick my battles sometimes. It’s important to speak up when it really matters, but I also try to pick moments where I can be most effective without burning out. It's about finding that balance between advocating for what’s right and knowing when to step back, especially when you're dealign with vulnerable groups of people.

It’s a shame that we can’t openly speak our mind and advocate for the things that need to be advocated for across the board simply because leaders can't handle it

Yes. Honestly its more about protecting my peace than anything and some things just aren't even worth getting into. Its not that I can't speak freely moreso that it is not always worth it.
