Empowerment means having choices and some level of control over the results you get in your life. Disempowerment, as you know, is quite the opposite.

In my book, I take you on a journey from disempowerment to empowerment. In this episode, I summarize the path to empowerment so that you can get a good start.

Some people have a strange way of balancing their lives. Some folks will pick up a hobby or hang out with friends.

But others may take a darker route. They’ll betray their partner or become addicted to drugs or alcohol. You may not see that as balance, but for those people, that’s how they get it.
