Episode 114: Control vs Agency   Becky teaches Diana about the value of agency and how it empowers us.   Agency gives us more choice about the direction of our path. Believing in agency is a mindset. Agency gives us independence. We get to ask ourselves, “What can I influence?” When we have agency over our lives we can take back our power. Agency can’t be conferred; it has to be claimed. Agency allows us to make empowered choices. It gives us the confidence to take a risk and the ability to rebound if we fail. In relationships, agency allows us to empower and support those around us, instead of trying to control them. Removing the element of control from relationships gives them room to grow and flourish. With agency we don’t feel attached to a particular outcome.
