We'll explore the difference between advocating for yourself and expecting the world to meet your expectations, why victim mentality may be a bigger threat than politics or technology, and how taking ownership of your happiness is the first step toward building the life you want. If you've ever found yourself frustrated by what other people won't do, this episode is a reminder that your future is still yours to shape.
