🎙️ New Podcast Episode!

What if the most powerful advocate in your case could be you?

Heather Bellino, CEO of Texas Advocacy Project, joined the Rising Beyond Podcast to talk about the power of pro se legal services and why knowledge, preparation, and confidence can help survivors find their voice in the courtroom.

Not everyone has access to legal representation, but everyone deserves to understand their rights. In this conversation, Heather shares how self-advocacy, paired with the right legal information and support, can empower survivors to move forward with confidence.

Listen now and be reminded that your voice matters. 💜
