In this deeply personal episode, we explore the universal challenge of being a people pleaser—something that many physician and executive moms grapple with daily. From constantly apologizing to seeking approval, we often fall into the trap of shrinking ourselves to fit others’ expectations. But today, I’m sharing my journey of how I broke free from the habit of apologizing unnecessarily and reclaimed my power—starting with a pivotal moment as a surgical resident.

I’ll walk you through my own experience of being pushed to apologize for things beyond my control, how it negatively impacted my life, and the steps I took to stop the cycle. You’ll hear why I no longer apologize for success, ambition, or even being “different.” Instead, I’ve embraced my true self and learned valuable lessons that I want to pass on to you.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

• The turning point where I stopped being a people pleaser
• How apologizing weakens us and keeps us from achieving our full potential
• Five key lessons to help you stop apologizing and start thriving:
• 1. Never apologize for building wealth and financial success
  2. Embrace your uniqueness—because it’s your superpower
  3. Build your own dreams, not just someone else’s
  4. Leave toxic relationships behind without guilt
  5. Set big goals and never apologize for being ambitious

If you’re a physician or executive mom balancing it all—work, family, and your personal life—this episode is your reminder that you don’t owe anyone an apology for striving for success or living authentically. The moment I stopped being a people pleaser, my life improved tenfold—and yours can too. Tune in and discover how to live unapologetically, while still achieving your goals.

Key Takeaway: Stop apologizing for your success, your uniqueness, and your ambitions. You are worthy of pursuing the life you desire, and you don't need to seek anyone's approval to do it.
