How can having the sense of control be so elusive?

Somewhere along the way in this career in medicine and in the role of a mom, autonomy slips, or it’s seemingly taken away.

And that matters – quite a lot.

It feels disheartening to not control what matters most. This can lead to chronic stress and the massive fall out from how stress hurts the mind and body.

But there is hope.

A loss of control over some areas of life does not mean the ability, confidence and drive is lost.

There is still a fire in you that wants to be set free.

You can step back into the ring and take back agency.

When you have it, it is gloriously rewarding.

This episode will discuss 2 common thieves of control.
