in one's own way
1. as the best one can do; using a personal and individual strategy. I don't know the answer to the problem, but perhaps I can help in my own way. She couldn't go to war and carry a gun, but she helped the war effort in her own way.
2. in the special way that one wishes or demands. I don't like doing it your way. I want to do it in my own way. I prefer to do it in my own way.
