Why Your Influence Matters More Than You Think | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life

Welcome to episode 123. Do you think of yourself as someone with influence? In this episode, I explore the power we all hold in our everyday lives — whether as parents, friends, colleagues, voters, customers, teachers, or simply people moving through the world. We look at why it can feel uncomfortable to acknowledge our influence, and why recognising it is an essential part of stepping into our power. Because even when we feel small or insignificant, our actions, choices, and voices have an impact. Let's dive in! In this episode: • You have more influence than you think — whether through relationships, parenting, social media, spending choices, or everyday interactions, your actions shape the world around you. • Power comes with responsibility — recognising where your voice carries weight allows you to use your influence more consciously and intentionally. • Small actions matter — from how you show up for others to where you spend your money, seemingly ordinary choices can create meaningful change over time.
