Episode notes

Understanding oneself is fundamental to navigating challenges in life; once self-awareness is achieved, positive changes often follow effortlessly. Many mistakenly conflate their actual problems with the self-inflicted struggles arising from those problems. While external circumstances, such as admission into medical school, are often out of individual control, one's response to these situations remains entirely within one's power. By redirecting focus from trying to control external factors to managing personal reactions and self-talk, individuals can alleviate feelings of shame and inadequacy, ultimately enhancing their success and well-being.
