Taking Back Control
Welcome back to Woman Made Well! Today, we’re taking a deep dive into one of the three pillars of mental well-being from self-determination theory: autonomy. This episode focuses on understanding what autonomy means, why it’s vital for your personal growth and confidence, and how it can transform your experience in motherhood.
I’ll explain what it looks like to have autonomy—how it’s about regaining control over your life, doing what truly aligns with your values, and moving toward your goals with intention. Through the story of one of my clients, we’ll explore how easily autonomy can feel lost in motherhood and the impact that can have on your mental well-being.
You’ll hear practical tips to help you regain control in your life after having a baby, from the questions to ask yourself to the steps you can take to reconnect with your goals. Autonomy isn’t just about independence—it’s about reclaiming your confidence and creating a life where you feel empowered and fulfilled.
