Listener Question: "How can I help the world when I feel like nothing I do is enough? It just feels like the problems are too big and I'm just one person. Burying my head in the sand isn't the answer, but I want to." — Feeling Overwhelmed on the East Coast

In this episode, Molly answers a listener question about how to stay compassionate without drowning in hopelessness from all the terrible things happening in our world right now.

Molly breaks down how our desire to help often becomes trapped inside our dominant culture’s mindset, demanding immediate results and perfect outcomes. When we treat compassion like a job to be mastered, our emotional health tanks.

Using the powerful stories of Harriet Tubman and the original creator of Monopoly, Elizabeth Magie (whose original vision for the game was VERY different than the popular version many of us know), Molly illustrates how we can reclaim our heart-centered power by focusing on the unique role we’re supposed to play in this world rather than focusing on trying to fix all the broken systems alone.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to spot the “performance rubric” in your own life.
• Why releasing the need for a specific outcome is a key to preventing burnout.
• How to find your unique calling and trust in the "compassionate revolution."

No need to bury your head in the sand: All you need to do is start moving into heart-centered power, one small action at a time.
