S8E6: Breaking the Cycle of Perfectionism and Imposter Syndrome in Medicine

Perfection sneaks into medical training so quietly that you may not notice the weight of it—until you are already carrying too much. Austen and Sanila are joined by classmate, Jade Kho, for a conversation about imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the moments that made them question whether they were "good enough" for medicine. They unpack the hidden standards students carry, the struggle of wanting to excel while still learning, and how reframing self-doubt can open the door to actual growth. For anyone who has ever felt behind, inadequate, or like everyone else has it figured out—this one is for you.
