96: The Big Break I lost when shame hijacked my decisions

Hello Doctor Humans,In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into something that quietly sabotages so many of us: the belief that we’re not good enough. We share a very personal story about being handed a “big break”… and almost destroying it from the inside out.We unpack how self-sabotage can masquerades as high standards, how opportunities often feel like risk, and why it’s not the lack of opportunity holding us back, it’s our Imposter Syndrome.If you’ve ever felt relief instead of celebration, dread instead of excitement, or like you’re one mistake away from being found out… this one is for you.In this episode, we explore: • Opportunities often feel terrifying because they expose us to possible failure. • External validation doesn’t fix Imposter Syndrome. • Doctors are conditioned to avoid doing “the wrong thing,” which can lead to playing small. • The real skill isn’t confidence, it’s learning how to fail without destroying yourself. • Big opportunities are earned through tiny daily acts of courage. • You build self-trust by practicing risk in low-stakes moments.Where does “not enough” show up in your life? Have you ever sabotaged a beautiful opportunity because you didn’t feel good enough?
