22: The Gift of Agency: Reclaiming the Lead in Your Own Story
What does it really mean to be in the driver’s seat of your own life—aware, engaged, and choosing your next move without white-knuckling the wheel?
We often find ourselves caught between what we can’t control and the pressure to manage everything else. On one side is the urge to over-function; on the other, the sense that life is just happening to us. This episode explores that in-between space—the grounded middle where you acknowledge circumstances AND recognize your agency as the leading actor in your own life story.
We’ll explore:
- How a growth mindset can turn every experience into meaningful progress
- Why anchoring to your deeper purpose brings strength—especially when you’re walking into the dark or standing alone
- How small, purposeful actions help ease overwhelm and restore momentum
This conversation invites you to redefine what it means to take action—and reconnect with your power to choose from a place of self leadership, not control.
