In this episode, Susan Piver discusses the path to inexplicable joy and how self-friendship can change everything. She shares this powerful statement, “I can’t defeat my enemies, but I can strengthen my friends,” which offers a different kind of hope that shifts our focus from fighting battles we can’t win, to caring for the people and communities closest to us. Susan shares what real power looks like, not dominance, but care, and also shares five practical ways to cultivate personal power in everyday life. This is an episode about moving from overwhelm to meaningful action. One friendship, one moment of care at a time.Feeling overwhelmed, even by the good things in your life?Check out&nbsp;<a href="https://www.oneyoufeed.net/overwhelm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Overwhelm is Optional&nbsp;</a>— a 4-week email course that helps you feel calmer and more grounded without needing to do less.
