Feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of the world? You’re not alone. But what if the power to make a difference isn’t “out there”… but instead staring back at you in the mirror?

In this empowering episode, Shola Richards reveals how you can reclaim your agency by focusing on the only three things truly within your control: your actions, your effort, and your attitude. Through personal stories, powerful mindset shifts, and practical strategies, you’ll learn how to step off the sidelines and into meaningful, sustainable action.

In this episode:

• How small “meaningful micro-actions” create massive ripple effects
• The trap of perfectionism—and how to embrace “right-sized effort”
• The 6-and-6 rule for keeping your attitude in check
• What to do when your mindset feels out of control

Whether you feel powerless at work or discouraged by global problems, this episode will remind you: you have more control than you think.
