Do you ever feel like your life is running you—and not the other way around?

In this solo episode of Change Made Easy, Paul unpacks the concept of being a “hostage of circumstance”—when your current life limitations dictate what you can or can’t do. Whether it's your finances, health, or relationships, feeling like you have no control is one of the worst experiences a human can have.

But here’s the good news: You don’t need to fix everything. You just need to build your capacity for when change becomes possible.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

  • What “agency” is and why it’s essential for mental health

  • How to mentally shift from victimhood to preparation

  • A real-life client story that shows how unseen preparation leads to future freedom

  • Why reading, journaling, fitness, and therapy are investments in future choice

  • How to stop wasting energy on what you can’t control and focus on what you can

🎯 Action Step:
Do one thing this week—physical, mental, emotional, or financial—that puts you in a better position to win in the future, regardless of your current situation.
