Brief Synopsis of the Podcast:

On a personal level, I have admired Sharon Eubank for years as I have observed her humanitarian work and listened to her speak on several occasions, and there have been so many times I have wanted to ask her for guidance.

My question was essentially, “What should I do so my efforts have the greatest impact?”

When I heard that Sharon had written a book, I ordered it right that minute and then reached out to see if I could help promote it in any way because I knew it would be incredible. And it is!

This quote from the introduction of her book shared that others have had similar questions to mine: “I have become sensitized to the pent-up desire so many feel to give of themselves and help others with something useful and honorable, and I also have a sense of the fear or self-criticism many have that what they offer will never be enough to make a difference.”

Here at LearnDoBecome, we have an amazing community of people who want to create lives where they wake up excited and go to bed content. They want to get organized, they want to prioritize their families, and they want to do good with their energy–whether that is through their paid or volunteer work.

And in today’s world, we all want to feel empowered to DO something that can help create more peace and unity. It just often feels hard and big and complicated to actually make a difference.

Not anymore!

In the interview, we cover three key lessons I learned from the book (and more–but here’s a start):

(1) Being a humanitarian is less about money and more about connection.

(2) You are the gift.

(3) Exchange and sustainability are important in any type of humanitarian work.

Here are a few quotes from her book that I asked her to elaborate on:

“No one is too poor, too disabled, too marginalized, too street weary, or too anything else to contribute something of value to society.” (We shared how everyone brings value, and service is not about one person who HAS resources giving to someone who DOESN’T. It’s about connection and exchange.)

“In humanitarian circles, the tidal wave of unusable donations that clogs up the logistics is called the second disaster.” (She shares some specifics that are incredibly eye-opening and offers a great perspective on how to give what is needed when, where, and how it is needed.)

“Of course it is harder to work where you live. It’s harder because we understand the dynamics and real barriers that may be invisible to us in unfamiliar cultures and places.” (It often feels cleaner/easier to go to a foreign country and do good, but if we can slow down, ask the right questions, and actually help meet the needs are right in front of us, we can create lasting change.)

There is so much more, so please go listen to the podcast! I know you will feel uplifted in a way that won’t cause you to feel exhausted.

The ideas shared here literally contribute to World Peace–in a way that empowers each one of us.
