Some of the hardest moments in healthcare happen when families are in crisis, emotions are high, and the path forward is not clear.

In this Unfiltered Friday, I’m sharing about one of the sessions I’m especially looking forward to at the New England Patient Advocacy Conference: Ethics in Healthcare.

We’ll be looking at real cases, difficult conversations, ethical boundaries, and how advocates can help families navigate some of the most painful and complex decisions they may ever face.

Patient advocates have the time to sit with families, ask questions, bring clarity, and help bring calm to the chaos.

If you work in healthcare, advocacy, caregiving, or simply want to better understand this growing field, I would love for you to join us October 12–13.

And right now, we’re offering a special pre-launch sale through May 31. Tickets are available for $250, and that includes your conference ticket plus a free ticket to the October 12 dinner networking event and comedy show.

This offer was previously opened to alumni only, but we’re making it available during this pre-launch window.

I hope to see you there.

Starting a patient advocacy business can be exciting, but it can also be overwhelming if you do not know what to avoid.

Many new advocates struggle because they:
- Do not clearly understand the business side
- Try to serve everyone instead of identifying the right audience
- Underprice their services
- Lack a clear process for finding clients
- Try to build alone without mentorship or structure

In Teri’s free webinar, From Nurse to Professional Patient Advocate, she’ll walk through what this career path looks like and how to avoid common mistakes when launching your own advocacy business.

Elder neglect is not always obvious.

It may not be a single event or a clear point of failure. It can look like:

-understaffing
-delayed care
-no one having enough time to notice changes or warning signs

In long-term care settings, staffing levels, workload, and system pressures all play a role in the quality of care residents receive. When those systems are strained, risk increases.

And the people most affected are often those with the least ability to advocate for themselves.

These are not just individual failures. They are system-level issues that require system-level attention. Until these systems are designed differently, families and their advocates are often the last line of protection for the people they love.

Whether as a family member or advocate, what have you seen that made you pause or question the level of care?

Burnout doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it often means you’ve given everything you have.

And the truth is, your experience in healthcare is still incredibly valuable.

If you’ve been wondering what else is out there for you, this could be the moment to start exploring new possibilities—whether that’s patient advocacy or another path that gives you more flexibility and fulfillment.

Our self-paced program is currently 30% off through tonight, and I’d love to help you take that next step.

Unfiltered Friday.

Some cases stay with you—not because of what was done, but because of what could have been done differently.

This is a reminder of why patient advocacy matters so deeply.

When patients can’t speak for themselves, we need professionals who will step in with clarity, compassion, and a strong understanding of their rights.

Let’s keep raising the standard of care—together.

Not all health challenges can be seen.

In fact, it’s estimated that over 70% of disabilities are invisible—ranging from chronic illness and long COVID to autism, dyslexia, and mental health conditions.

Too often, people are misunderstood, overlooked, or even dismissed simply because their struggles aren’t obvious.

True inclusion starts with awareness.
It continues with empathy.
And it shows up in how we choose to respond—with patience, curiosity, and respect.

As patient advocates, this is at the core of the work we do every day: helping individuals and families feel seen, heard, and supported—especially when others may not recognize what they’re going through.

I had the opportunity to write more about this in The Daily Wire.
