Is Advocacy Your Side Gig or Career?

I have found such a great way to make a little change from speaking and writing about my health condition. At first, I felt bad making money off of my story, but I realized my story is worth being told, and I am worth being paid to tell it.

If you are making money from your advocacy, How many of you felt weird at first but now are ready, willing, and able to make money for your advocacy?
