  • Self-Advocacy Superstar – Wow! You have a lot going right in your healthcare life – you answered that you have great support across many domains. Yet, I’m guessing you wanted to take the quiz for a reason, maybe a specific concern or question is bothering you? We’d love to chat and find out what we can do for you.

    Work in Progress!  – It sounds like you have a lot going well in your life and are well supported in some areas! However, you may need some help in other areas. This is how most of our clients start out – you are not alone by any means. We would be honored to help solve any problems that are going on right now and set you up for long-term success with or without us. Please schedule a fit-check call or a 1-hour coaching session anytime! Visit us at lostcoastadvocacy.com

    Hot Mess Express (said with love) – If you are feeling like part of your life is a hot mess right now – you are not alone. Many of our most rewarding client experiences start in this space. You likely have more strengths than you realize; we just didn’t ask the right questions to find them. We would love to talk to you in more detail and figure out what we can help with right away. Chaos, overwhelm, or helplessness does not have to be where you live. Please schedule a fit-check call or a 1-hour coaching session anytime! Visit lostcoastadvocacy.com

    This is not for me – If most of the questions felt like they didn’t apply to you, maybe full-scope advocacy isn’t the right fit right now. If you need help with something that wasn’t covered at all, consider calling 2-1-1 to be connected to the United Way who can help you find local resources, or try GNA helpline to see if your situation is a fit for patient advocacy. Thanks for playing anyway! Maybe you are interested in writing, editing, research, or a targeted advocacy services in 1-hour coaching sessions? Visit us at lostcoastadvocacy.com
