We love to call ourselves independent in work, in love, in life.
But most of what we call independence is really reaction.
Weโre proving, rebelling, performing for a system we still orbit.
Autonomy is different.
Itโs not about pulling away.
Itโs the calm that comes when you no longer need a wink, a nod, or permission to be yourself.
In this episode of F. Freud. Shrink Me? I share the story of a seven-year-old who thought he was free, and what he taught me about belonging, confidence, and true leadership.
