109. Is Your Identity Holding You Back?

Stimulus | Helping Doctors overcome burnout, excel in leadership, and unlock their most fulfilling careers

We wear many hats in life, and one of them can become disproportionately large: our professional identity. Don’t get me wrong, being a physician is amazing and the associated identity is imbued with meaning and purpose. The challenge comes when identity becomes calcified and too narrowly defined. When that happens, it can limit us.

In this episode, we delve into the diverse and often unforeseen roles of a physician, the constraints placed on one's identity due to deeply entrenched beliefs about our own capacities, strategies to overcome limiting beliefs, how the term "just" can undermine one's potential, the significance of embracing alternate identities, and the common thread between Ted Lasso and Deion Sanders.
