episode description
066: Understanding Autonomy
Autonomy. What the heck is that? Another buzzword? Nope! According to BP, autonomy is being able to stand firmly on your own feet in the spaces you choose to be in. How can we be comfortable in our own skin with our own choices? How can we foster autonomy in our children, to help them learn and embrace who they really are so they can fulfill the roles they have been called to do? How does autonomy play into our marriage? We're talking about ALL of this and more in this episode. We also share actionable ways you can improve the autonomy in your life. Grab a notebook (trust us, you'll want one!) and listen in!

Only vent when "big girl pants" are present.
Use meditation. Consider using these meditation practices found here.
Write a "I Am Someone Who" list (and have your kids do one, too).
