Episode 43 - Sharon McMahon, known as “America’s Government Teacher” and author of the bestselling book The Small and the Mighty, joins us to talk about how even small actions can lead to big change in our communities. Sharon brings her signature clarity, warmth, and humor to topics that often feel overwhelming: civic engagement, political polarization, social media overload, and how to maintain hope in the face of discouraging news.

Together, we unpack what it looks like to live with intention and purpose, even when the issues seem too big to solve. Sharon introduces us to the concept of doing “the next needed thing,” a small but powerful shift in perspective that can lead to real, lasting change—starting in our own homes, classrooms, and neighborhoods. She also explains how forming real-world connections, like the women’s clubs of the early 20th century, can combat the loneliness and division so many feel today.
