Good Shift – The World We Made Up – E233

from Makes Sense - with Dr. JC Doornick Hosted by Dr. Jean Claude Doornick

Dr. JC Doornick spent some time watching the birds at his feeder and noticed something that kept him curious: no opinions about themselves, no ranking, no unfinished business. In this Wednesday episode, pulled from the best of the Makes Sense Substack, he explores the second world we quietly built on top of the first, the one made of meaning, rank and invisible scorecards, and how we forgot we ever made it. You’ll hear why imposter syndrome and constant comparison only exist inside that world, what happens when the scoring stops, and a simple practice for catching yourself in the middle of it.
