In this episode, I explore what happens when we lose ourselves in the roles we play—doctor, parent, caregiver—and forget who we are beyond them.

We cover:

• How tying self-worth to titles leads to burnout and identity loss
• Societal pressure to equate value with productivity
• My personal journey of redefining myself outside of being “just a doctor”

I share practical ways to reconnect with your true self:

• Spend time alone
• Revisit forgotten joys
• Ask: Who am I beyond what I do?

You are enough—just as you are. It’s time to reclaim your authentic self.
