the WOMAN MADE WELL Podcast

 

Navigate the challenges of parenting with honest conversations, empowering stories, and expert advice.

Welcome to ‘Woman Made Well’ with Candice Wood, a podcast that empowers women through the highs and lows of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or isolated, this is your supportive space.

Hi, I'm Dr. Candice Wood.

I am a board-certified OB/GYN with added certification in perinatal mood disorders. I have loved treating women's health for 18 years. My journey has led me to focus the 2nd half of my career on women's mental health, an area that I feel is tragically undertreated.

My goal for this podcast is to create a space that is as safe as my clinic couch - a place to feel understood, motivated, and prepared to meet the challenges and find the beauty of parenthood. You don't have to lose yourself to be a good mother - in fact, finding yourself in motherhood will take you to depths of joy you never imagined.  

Will you let me show you how?

With Candice Wood, MD

Episode 7: "Taking Back Control"

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.
