I've been attempting this journey you describe. It's been shocking to discover just how much decision-making and responsibility there is to reclaim and how unaccustomed most of us are to exercising these muscles. It can be very intimidating... choosing a different route and taking ownership. The social repercussions are surprisingly impactful... which I imagine is why so much $$$ is spent on behavioral research. But the rewards of owning yourself, and giving future generations a chance to own themselves, are well worth the discomfort.
