When you have spent your entire life being the “good girl,” following the rules, ticking every box, and making everyone proud, breaking out on your own can feel terrifying. For many women physicians, that mindset is what helped them thrive through years of training and corporate medicine. But when it is time to make the switch to owning an independent practice, that same “good girl” conditioning becomes one of the biggest mindset challenges to overcome.
This is the first episode in my mini-series on the mindset challenges I have seen physicians face when moving from corporate medicine to running their own independent practices. In it, we explore how the “Good Girl” persona shows up during that transition, why it keeps you playing small, and how you can start defining success and leading your business on your own terms. If you have ever caught yourself waiting for permission to do things differently, this episode will help you see that your next level of freedom starts when you stop trying to be “good.”
