If you’ve ever felt like the problems of the world are too big, and your influence is too small to matter, this conversation with Sharon McMahon will help you realize how powerful even just your small actions can be.

Sharon is a former high school government teacher turned trusted online educator and advocate. In her new book The Small and the Mighty, she highlights 12 lesser-known Americans whose quiet courage changed history. In this episode, she shares the stories of three women whose steady choices and persistence still shape our world today—and shows how small, consistent actions in your own life can create a ripple effect too.

Tune in to hear:

🌎 Why doing the next needed thing can be the most impactful—and most accessible—form of change

🌎 How helping just one person can expand your capacity, bring you hope, and ripple outward in unseen ways

🌎 What it looks like to keep showing up, even when others don’t understand or support you

Sharon’s storytelling is rich and inspiring, and her perspective will help you reframe your role as a mother, a neighbor, and a citizen. You don’t need to be extraordinary to do something that matters. You just need to begin.
