The Inner Critic: Your Greatest Foe and How to Silence It. The most formidable obstacle to your success isn't external—it's internal. Your inner critic, a powerful force residing in your mind, can be your greatest saboteur. This voice, often rooted in fear and self-doubt, can significantly impact your personal and professional life, hindering your progress and well-being

Do you ever feel like you’re just getting by, stuck in a cycle of stress and burnout? You’re not alone. I have been there many times and have met hundreds of people who have been there too. Many professionals, especially in high-pressure roles, such as physicians and other healthcare workers, feel overwhelmed and disconnected from their own well-being, key relationships, and struggling in performance.

The big question is: Have you become dangerously desensitized to the deadly unexplored stress levels you or your leaders operate under?

If so, your life is likely being diminished at such a slow pace that you won’t even notice it until it’s too late. Unexplored stress acts as a slow poison, affecting your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. And, it doesn’t just affect your work. It impacts your family, friends, hobbies, and even the quality of your later years. You can run your engine for quite a while with the check engine light on, but it doesn’t mean you are not harming the vehicle and shortening the life span and enjoyment of it.
