Taking Power Back: Boosting Self-Efficacy

The podcast episode explores the concept of taking back one's power and how it relates to the self-efficacy theory. Feeling powerless can lead to overthinking, anxiety, and self-doubt, but engaging in small, achievable tasks that boost self-efficacy can counteract these feelings. The episode provides examples like crossing a busy street at a pedestrian crosswalk to demonstrate small power moves that prove one's power. These small acts of success erode the feeling of powerlessness over time. The self-efficacy theory suggests that successful experiences boost self-efficacy while failures lower it. By recognizing and celebrating small wins, individuals can build a belief in their worth and ability to act. The episode emphasizes the importance of thinking and acting small to create real transformation and reclaiming one's power.
