You Have Money in the Bank and Doctors Exist

The Self-Advocacy Workbook for People Who Forgot They Have Agency

This workbook maps every resource you already have to every problem you have not solved with it yet.

This is for:

For the person who has resources and is not using them. Money in the bank and no dentist appointment. Internet access and no research done. Free time and no action taken. This workbook is for the person who has internalized powerlessness in a context where they actually have power — and needs to name every resource they have and map it to every problem they are not solving.

The Name It First Experience

You have money in the bank and no dentist appointment — you have access and no action, time and no movement, knowledge and nothing done with it. You Have Money in the Bank and Doctors Exist maps every resource you currently have — money, time, access, knowledge, people — against every problem in your life that those resources could solve today, and builds the documented self-advocacy plan that turns what you already own into the results you have been waiting to pursue. This workbook is for the person who has internalized powerlessness in a context where they actually have power — who has the tools and has not picked them up. The Self-Advocacy Workbook for People Who Forgot They Have Agency starts with the audit of what you have — and ends with it deployed.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What resources do you have right now — money, time, access, knowledge, people — that you are not deploying against a problem in your life?
  2. What have you been waiting on that you could start researching today, from where you are?
  3. What would change if you treated your resources as tools rather than reserves?

Research basis

Grounded in health behavior research on the gap between access and utilization / Herd and Moynihan (2018) on administrative burden and its role in non-uptake of available resources / behavioral economics research (Thaler and Sunstein, 2008) on friction as a determinant of whether people use benefits they already have.
