Explore every episode of the podcast Am I doing it wrong? For Doctors by Doctors.

Hello Doctor Humans 💛

This is Part 2 of last week’s conversation — but this episode isn’t really about picking a word for the year.

It’s about something deeper.

Why is it so hard to be yourself as a doctor?

Why does visibility feel uncomfortable?

And when did humility quietly turn into hiding?

In this episode, we unpack how clinician conditioning shapes the way we see ourselves — and how even the most caring, capable doctors can end up turning their volume down without realising it.

Using our 2026 words as a lens, we explore why real growth doesn’t feel neat or motivating — it feels uncomfortable, exposing, and sometimes downright scary. And why that discomfort is often the clearest sign you’re moving in the right direction.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why being “fully yourself” can feel unsafe in medicine
• How humility can quietly become a way of shrinking
• Why goals often trigger resistance before results
• What it really means to stop judging yourself (and others)
• Why visibility and self-recognition are deeply uncomfortable — and deeply necessary
• How choosing a word can act as a compass back to who you actually are

If last week helped you choose a word, this week is about understanding why that word might feel hard to say out loud — and why that’s the point.

If you’ve already chosen a word for 2026, we’d love to hear it. And if you haven’t, let this be your permission to slow down, reflect, and choose a word that doesn’t just sound nice — but asks you to show up more fully in your own life.

Hello Doctor Humans,

Welcome to 2026 with us, Kristeen Barker and Doctor Becc!

Today we’re sharing a simple but powerful tradition that completely shifted our 2025: choosing one word to anchor the year. Not goals, not resolutions — an identity. A compass we carry into every consult, every boundary, every decision. This episode is for every doctor who wants to thrive without burning out, invest in what truly matters, and step into the next version of themselves with intention and courage.

In this episode, we explore:

• One “Word for the Year” works as a compass and filter for decisions and boundaries
• Our 2025 words (like intentionality, impact, discernment, double down) shaped our identity, behavior, and clinic energy
• The word should represent a stretch or transformation, not safety or convenience
• Accountability hack: share your word publicly so your community holds you to it
• Use your word on a vision board or environment reminders for effortless reinforcement
• Reflect first: Ask yourself what aligned, what didn’t, what keeps knocking on your mind

If we’re honest, 2025 was incredible because we were intentional — and 2026 will be even bigger, braver, and more aligned.

We’d love to hear your reflections — What word are you choosing for 2026? Drop it in the comments, tag us, or share a story where truth-telling or intentional decisions changed your clinic or life.

Hello, Doctor Humans!

Today, we’re diving into a topic every single one of us deals with: procrastination.

We’re breaking down why we avoid the simplest tasks, why it has nothing to do with the task itself, and how procrastination is really just emotional discomfort in disguise. We walk through the 3 step process we use ourselves to move through procrastination with compassion, curiosity, and way less drama. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why am I avoiding something so easy?” — this episode is going to make you feel incredibly seen and get you back on track

In this episode, we explore:

• Why procrastination is rarely about the task itself
• Emotional avoidance as the hidden driver
• Step 1 — Identify the emotion you’re avoiding
• Step 2 — Commit to feeling it (timers help!)
• Step 3 — Gather real-life evidence that you survived it
• The surprising difference between overwhelm vs boredom
• How to build confidence by celebrating the smallest wins
• A gentle reframing of productivity as emotion regulation, not discipline

What’s one tiny task you’ve been procrastinating on, and which step are you starting with today? Tell us in the comments!

Hello, Doctor Humans!

Today, we’re unpacking the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways the medical system teaches us to stay quiet, overwork, and accept “normal” as “okay.” This one’s all about reclaiming your worth, speaking up respectfully, and understanding that gratitude for your job doesn’t mean surrendering your basic rights. If you’ve ever been afraid to “rock the boat,” this is the reminder you didn’t know you needed.

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

• Just because something is normal in medicine doesn’t mean it’s acceptable.
• Gratitude for your role should never equal giving up your boundaries or rights.
• You’re far more valuable to your workplace than you think — hospitals depend on you showing up and thriving.
• Self-advocacy isn’t arrogance — it’s a reflection of self-respect and professional maturity.
• Recognize the difference between “rocking the boat” and simply standing up for what’s reasonable.
• Mindset + understanding your rights = empowerment that changes how you show up.
• When you value yourself, you teach others how to treat you — including your peers, seniors, and the system itself.

We’d love to hear from you — what’s one situation where you realized your value as a doctor?

Or maybe where you forgot it for a while?

Hello, doctor humans!

Today’s episode is one of those raw, real, “we almost didn’t record this” moments.

We’re talking about the times you think, “I can’t do this.” But here’s the truth — every single time you thought you couldn’t… you did. Today, we’re inviting you to pause, take stock, and remember the times you’ve proven yourself wrong. Because sometimes, our greatest growth comes from those messy, imperfect moments when we just show up anyway.

• Those “I can’t do this” moments are often the doorway to discovering how much capacity you really have.
• You’ve already done hard things — and you’ll do them again, often more beautifully than you think possible.
• Life rarely gives us perfect conditions. You can still create something meaningful even when you’re tired, sick, or overwhelmed.
• Knowing when to rest and when to push through is part of emotional mastery — both are essential skills.
• Asking for help isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom. Sometimes the reason we can do the impossible is because we’re not doing it alone.
• Real leadership (and real humanity) isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence, imperfection, and compassion for yourself.

If this conversation resonated with you, we’d love to hear from you. Share your own “I thought I couldn’t do it — but I did” story in the comments or send us a message.

Your story might just remind another doctor-human that they can too. 💙

Hello doctor humans!

Today, we’re diving into a topic that hits every doctor’s nerve: why we don’t leave work on time.

If you’ve ever found yourself staying late to finish that “one last thing,” or if you’ve felt guilty walking out on time while others keep working — this episode is for you. We’re unpacking the seven hidden reasons we stay past our shifts, from the sneaky “hero complex” to cultural expectations and even our perfectionist brains chasing that sweet, sweet dopamine hit of a cleared to-do list. We promise — this one’s going to stir up some feelings, but also offer a whole lot of clarity and compassion.

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

• The Hero Complex – That internal belief that “if I don’t do it, everything will fall apart” — and how this noble intention can quietly burn us out.
• Being Overly Available – How being too approachable and visible keeps you stuck doing extra work that isn’t yours.
• Toxic Culture & Expectations – Why hospital culture normalizes staying late — and how to start challenging it (with empathy and courage).
• Short Staffing ≠ Your Responsibility – Learning to set limits, advocate for yourself, and stop carrying an entire team’s workload on your back.
• The To-Do List Trap – The myth of “finishing everything” and how chasing that relief keeps you stuck in an unhealthy cycle.
• Self-Worth & Avoidance – Exploring how staying late can sometimes be about avoiding our own lives outside of work.
• Redefining What Makes a ‘Good Doctor’ – Choosing alignment over exhaustion and giving yourself permission to go home.

If this episode hits close to home — if you’ve found yourself torn between being a “good doctor” and taking care of yourself — we’d love to hear from you.

Today’s episode is especially close to our hearts because we’re diving into what it really means to show up as a positive leader in medicine. Whether you’re managing a whole team, supporting a stressed-out colleague on night shift, or holding space for a loved one who’s struggling, this conversation is about navigating emotional emergencies with compassion, calm, and true leadership.

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance empathy with effectiveness—or how to hold space without trying to “fix” everything—this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

• Why doctors step into leadership without formal training—and why that matters.
• How to handle emotional “emergencies” from colleagues (or even loved ones) without rushing to fix them.
• The hidden cost of trying to make distress “go away” (and how it can backfire).
• The power of validating, normalising, and simply holding space for emotions at work.
• Three real-life scenarios to practice your own responses as a leader and support person.
• Why your own emotional self-work is essential to leading with empathy and impact.

We’d love to hear from you—what’s been your biggest leadership challenge when supporting someone in distress? Did your medical training give you the tools to deal with it?

Hello, doctor humans!

In this episode we’re unpacking a familiar but sneaky story many doctors carry: the belief that “if it isn’t hard, it isn’t worthy.” From choosing a specialty, to surviving exams, to finally finishing training and wondering why we can’t just relax. We talk about where that drive comes from, how it shapes our choices, and how to intentionally choose ease (without shame) so we can build a fuller life beyond constant struggle. If you’ve ever felt like you must earn your worth through effort, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

• The “no pain, no gain” narrative is common in medicine and leads us to equate worthiness with hardship.
• Many doctors choose harder paths (or avoid ease) because of an underlying sense of “not enough.”
• Finishing training often leaves a weird limbo — we expect relief but can feel guilty for wanting ease.
• Practical examples: specialty-choice paralysis, doing medical reading on holiday, and abandoning hobbies during exams.
• How to spot the drivers behind decisions: look at the thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that push you toward hard or easy choices.
• The cost of always choosing hard: missed presence, relationships, creativity, and micro-moments we can’t get back.
• Small experiments to test a new way of living: try bringing work to the beach and being present, or deliberately choosing the easier route and noticing the outcome.
• Reframing: acknowledging we are already enough and that ease, joy, and presence are valid, valuable ways to live.

We’d love to hear from you — do you feel confident enough to choose the easier path? Or does the idea of not having your foot heavy on the accelerator terrify you?

Share this episode with a colleague who needs permission to take their heavy foot off the accelerator — let’s normalise choosing ease together.

Hello, doctor humans!

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into something that feels like a game-changer for both of us in clinic and beyond—finding what we’re calling “The Sweet Spot.” It’s that place where we’re not in survival mode, not overextending ourselves trying to be the “perfect” doctor, but instead showing up authentically, with enoughness at the core. We can’t wait to share it with you because we know so many of you will resonate with the tug-of-war between “not enough” and “trying too hard.”

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

• Kristeen’s breakthrough in clinic: discovering “The Sweet Spot” between survival and over-performance.
• Why both extremes—barely coping and overextending—leave us drained.
• How subconscious narratives of “not being enough” sneak into our work and self-image.
• The idea of the infinite hypothesis—why the “I’m not enough” story can never be proven wrong if we keep feeding it.
• What changes when we stop performing and simply show up as our authentic selves.
• How feedback from patients and colleagues can affirm that who we are is already enough.
• Why aging, life experience, and self-awareness can open the door to releasing old narratives.

We’d love to hear from you—do you know this feeling of neutrality or is it a new concept for you? Have you found your own “sweet spot” in medicine or life?

Experiment in your clinic and report back. We can’t wait to keep this conversation going with you.

Hello, doctor humans!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic we know so many of us can relate to: that tempting urge to pretend. Whether it’s in front of patients, colleagues, or even friends, there are those moments where we feel pressure to act like we know more, feel less, or have it all together.

Today, we’re unpacking what’s really happening underneath that urge (often shame, fear, or people-pleasing) and exploring how telling the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable, can free us and deepen our relationships.

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

• Why the instinct to “pretend” shows up in professional and personal spaces.
• How people-pleasing and small “white lies” can erode trust over time.
• A vulnerable story about missing commitments and the pull to hide versus choosing honesty.
• The powerful role of shame in driving us to cover up—and how truth is the antidote.
• Why patients, colleagues, and loved ones can handle the truth—and why it honors them when we share it.
• How practicing authenticity sets healthier expectations in both personal and professional relationships.

What situations have tempted you to pretend, and how did you handle it? Drop us a comment, send us a message, or share this episode with someone who might need the reminder that honesty really is the more powerful path.

Will you challenge yourself to come on a truth-telling journey with us? Even for the ‘little’ white lies? Tell us in the comments if you’re in!

Hello our beautiful friends and doctor humans!

Ever catch yourself feeling grumpy, drained, or inexplicably furious at a meeting, a shift, or a project you technically said yes to? Yep, that sneaky little monster is called resentment, and today we’re talking all about it.

From unpaid overtime to those “this could’ve been an email” meetings, we explore why resentment shows up, what it really means, and—most importantly, how we can stop it from sucking our energy and joy.

Doctor Becc shares a real-life moment (yes, just yesterday!) of getting stuck in the resentment loop, and we both unpack the layers of this heavy feeling with humour, humility, and practical tools to help you move through it.

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

🔁 Why resentment is a lie built on fantasy planning and unrealistic expectations

🚗 A real-time story of Becc’s weekend resentment spiral and how she pulled herself out

📉 How resentment hurts us, drains our energy, and sabotages our goals

⛓️ The lie that we’re “stuck” or “forced” into things (and how that lie fuels resentment)

🧠 Why just telling yourself “you chose this” doesn’t work—and what to do instead

🧾 The power of a good, ugly Thought Download (yes, even the thoughts you’re ashamed of)

💡 Practical mindset tools for transforming resentment into empowerment and connection

Where does resentment show up for you in doctor life? Is it meetings? On-call shifts? The sneaky projects that eat your weekends?

Hello our beautiful friends and doctor humans!

In this episode, we’re diving into something that so many of us in medicine quietly wrestle with: the emotional chaos of being on call.

Not just the practicalities, but the deeper, stickier stuff, like the loss of freedom, the hypervigilance, the interruption of joy, and how that bloody phone ring can yank you straight out of flow and into fury. 😤

Kristeen opens up about her very real struggle with on-call life (and her deep dislike of it), and Doctor Becc walks her through the emotional layers behind that resentment, grief for lost control, perfectionism, and the pain of feeling your goals slip further away.

Whether it’s just a 60-second phone call or being called in to operate all night after being called in that whole day so far…

If being on call ever makes you feel like you’re constantly bracing for impact, this one is absolutely for you.

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

📞 Why being on call feels like a bomb that could go off at any moment

💣 How living life around “maybe” calls steals more than just your time

🧠 The hidden link between being interrupted and fear of not reaching your goals

😣 The emotional cost of avoiding pain… and how that avoidance steals more than the call itself

💡 Coaching questions to help you untangle what’s really upsetting you on call

🥴 Real talk about overreactions (that aren’t actually overreactions)

💬 And an example from Becc about where she was not owning her emotions herself - and what if really means to take responsibility for generating them instead of blaming the world.

We want to hear from you: What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to being on call? Is it the sleep? The uncertainty? The lack of control?

Drop us a comment, message us, or leave a review telling us your on-call story (the good, the bad, and the grumbly). 💬✨

Let’s talk about it. Because you deserve a life that feels like yours, even when you’re on call. 💖

Doctors, are you holding back because you’re afraid to be... rubbish? 😅

In this cringe-filled yet power-packed episode, Doctor Becc (aka Dr Rebecca Nothrop) and Kristeen Barker dive deep into one of the biggest unspoken blocks for so many high-achieving medics: the fear of being bad at something new.

Whether you’re dreaming of launching a business, creating educational content, or starting a podcast of your own—there’s a big ol’ cringe tax at the beginning... and surprise! Cringe is forever.

This episode is for the creatively curious, the impact-driven innovators, and any doctor who's ever said, "I have this idea, but…".

Doctor Becc and Kristeen get real about:

• Why being bad at something is the price of doing anything bold

• How perfectionism sneaks in disguised as “reasonable planning”

• The magic of letting it be easy—and letting it be cringe

• Strategic byproducts: why your creative side hustle gives you more than just a goal

• How building your cringe muscle might just unlock your best self

🎧 Come hang out, laugh with us, cringe a little, and leave with a whole new lens on growth.

Hello our beautiful friends and doctor humans!

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like their story is falling apart. Whether you’ve experienced a personal loss, faced professional rejection, or find yourself sitting in the middle of something that just hurts, we’re right here with you.

Today we’re unpacking that gut-wrenching moment when you don’t get what you wanted and the False Finality (thought error) that our brain creates.

We’ll explore why it feels like the end of the story (and why it isn’t), how to spot this mindset trap in real time, and how to open to the possibility that your heartbreak might actually be a plot twist… not a failure.

We’ve found - and we bet you have too - often a loss is actually a gain disguised as a loss in the moment.

We’re sharing our own stories, coaching insights, and powerful real-life moments from our doctor community to help you move through disappointment with more compassion, wisdom, and unshakable next-level confidence.

In this episode, we’ll uncover:

✨ Why not getting what you wanted can feel like the end of the story—and why that’s a lie

🌍 A heartfelt moment from our support peer group, where specialty rejection turned into hope

💔 Kristeen’s experience of personal loss and the unexpected growth it sparked

🧠 Why grief is valid but unnecessary suffering is optional—and how to tell the difference

🔄 How to stop judging a painful chapter as “the ending” and actively create an opportunity

If this episode speaks to you, we’d love to hear from you.

Share your story, send us a DM, or leave a review if this helped reframe something tough.

We love hearing from you.

Hello our beautiful friends and doctor humans!We’re celebrating one whole year of Dare Darling, and this episode is the ultimate love letter to the glorious messiness of transformational growth.

If you’ve ever felt like everything is going wrong when you step outside your comfort zone, this one’s for you.

Join us as Kristeen shares a hilariously relatable story of a tech-meltdown mid-presentation, and how that imperfect moment became the perfect proof she’s now totally unshakeable.

We’re unpacking the three phases every doctor goes through on the way to becoming unshakeable with next-level confidence, self-trust, and showing up big even when everything isn’t perfect (spoiler: it never is!).

In this episode, we’ll explore:

💥 The 3 Phases of Becoming Unshakeable: Phase Zero (safe + stuck), Phase One (action-taking, shaking), and Phase Two (unshakeable, bold action)

🎤 How Kristeen’s live talk went completely sideways, and why that was the best case scenario

🧠 What actually builds real confidence (hint: it’s not “doing it perfectly”)

❤️‍🔥 Why Phase One is messy and emotionally challenging… and absolutely necessary

🧘‍♀️ Self-trust as a skill: building it with every imperfect moment

📚 Yes, Dare Darling counts for CPD (and we’re giddy about it)

We’d love to hear from you!

What phase are you in right now? Are you feeling stuck in Phase Zero, braving the wild of Phase One, or basking in your unshakeable glow in Phase Two?

Leave a comment, message us, or drop a review—we’re here for the real talk and the messy wins. Let’s start a convo. 💬✨

Ever find yourself saying "yes" when you really mean "no"?

In this episode, Kristeen and Becc get honest about people pleasing — how it shows up in the lives of doctors (often without us realising), what it quietly takes from us, and what you can do to break the cycle.

We explore:
🧠 3 sneaky ways people pleasing shows up
😞 3 things it’s silently stealing from you
💡 3 practical tools to shift from pleasing to authentic professionalism

Whether you’re drowning in obligations, stuck in “yes mode,” or just wondering if this is part of why you’re so exhausted — this conversation is for you.

You’re not alone. And you can reclaim your time, your energy, and your why.

Hey, Doctor Humans! 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

In this episode, we’re diving into an unexpected way to use ChatGPT (aka Sparks, Kristeen's AI bestie) to simplify everyday life—starting with meal planning and grocery shopping. If you’ve ever felt the cognitive load of figuring out what to eat, making sure you have the right ingredients, and dreading the grocery store, this one’s for you!

Kristeen shares her genius AI hack that’s changed the game for her weekly grocery planning, helping her stay organized and avoid those dreaded “trip of shame” supermarket runs. 🛒✨ But it doesn’t stop there! We also chat about:

✔️ How AI can streamline repetitive tasks (so you can spend less time on life admin and more time doing what matters)
✔️ The power of Custom GPTs to personalize AI for your needs
✔️ AI-powered ways to reduce mental resistance and get things DONE
✔️ How AI is already making waves in clinical practice—and why we refuse to get left behind

Whether you’re an AI skeptic or already besties with your own ChatGPT, this episode will spark (pun intended) some ideas on how to make life a little easier. Let us know in the comments—how are YOU using AI to level up your personal or professional life? 🚀

In this powerful episode of Am I Doing It Wrong?, Doctor Becc (Dr Rebecca Nothrop) and Kristeen Barker break down the silent stress response that so many doctors unknowingly operate from—and how it's quietly hijacking your energy, clarity, and well-being.

Whether you’re running on adrenaline without realising it, skipping lunch again (guilty), or feeling wired-but-exhausted by 10 a.m., this one’s for you.

You’ll learn:

• The subtle signs you're stuck in fight-or-flight mode (spoiler: it’s not always a racing heart)

• 3 science-backed, real-world tools to actually reset your parasympathetic nervous system

• How to weave calm into your clinical day—without needing extra time, yoga pants, or a retreat in Bali

Doctor Becc shares a game-changing moment of self-awareness mid-shift, and Kristeen reveals how adrenaline used to fuel her registrar years without her even knowing it. This is the kind of wisdom that comes from being in the trenches—and finding a better way out.

Are you brave enough to be that doctor?

In this heartfelt and fiercely real episode of Am I Doing It Wrong? — the podcast for doctors by doctors — Doctor Becc (Dr Rebecca Nothrop) and Kristeen Barker open up the emotional floodgates on one of the toughest challenges in medicine: speaking up when something isn’t right. 

Whether it’s toxic gossip in the tea room or uncomfortable political clashes around the ward, the cost of staying silent can be far greater than the risk of speaking out.

⚡ Doctor Becc and Kristeen Barker dive into:

• Why doctors often don’t speak up — and what stops us

• The unseen ripple effect of hospital culture and public shaming

• Real-life moments where staying silent wasn’t an option

• How to sit with the discomfort of being “the unpopular one”

• The art of speaking truth with empathy (and surviving the fallout)

This episode isn’t about telling you what’s right or wrong. It’s about helping you build your own inner compass, find your voice, and stand by your values — even when it’s scary, uncomfortable, or unpopular.

🌱 Expect plenty of laughs, a few emotional gut punches, and that signature Doctor Becc & Kristeen warmth as they ask the real questions: Am I doing it wrong… or am I just being brave?

💌 We want to hear from you!

Have you got a personal experience here? We'd LOVE to hear it and be inspired. Or to have a look at the challenges together.

Maybe you want to prepare yourself for what's right for you in the next situation?

Hi there beautiful friends and doctor humans!

It’s Kristeen and Doctor Becc here. We're so glad you're joining us today for another heartfelt chat.

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic we know many of you will relate to: the tension between wanting to be good, kind, and giving while learning to balance that with the realities of life and our human limits.

1. The Myth of Goodness:

Being "nice" or a "good person" often comes with perfectionistic definitions that set us up for self-doubt.

2. Perfectionism’s Trap:

High performers, like doctors, are especially prone to believing they must operate at 10/10 all the time. This mindset not only leads to burnout but also undercuts our ability to appreciate our efforts.

3. Redefining Goodness:

Instead of striving for perfection, we can focus on showing up with authenticity and giving our best within the energy we have each day.

4. Boundaries Are Key:

Being kind to yourself and setting healthy limits allows you to sustainably care for others without depleting your own reserves.

5. Rejecting Perfectionistic Thinking:

Learning to validate our own efforts, even when they’re not “perfect,” creates space for compassion and growth.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode! Have you ever struggled with perfectionism or doubting whether you’re "good enough"?

Welcome back to the Poddy, team! We’re here to set the tone for your most successful and easy year yet.

In this episode, we’re sharing small, practical tweaks that make achieving your goals a breeze. Think “low-hanging fruit” that clears the path to better habits and bigger wins.

From walking routines to morning hacks, you’ll wish you knew these tips sooner! Let’s make this the year you actually stick to your resolutions—without the struggle.

KEY POINTS:

Start Small, Win Big

Success isn’t always about motivation or discipline—it’s about identifying friction points in your routines and fixing them with simple systems.

Key Examples from Kristeen and Becc

Kristeen’s Walk Fix: Keep an “outdoor box” in your car with all-weather essentials so you’re always ready for a spontaneous walk.

Becc’s Morning Hack: Use comfy yoga pants for early walks to eliminate resistance and start your day effortlessly.

Always be Hydrated: Place a bedside cup or bottle with a straw to ensure you hydrate first thing in the morning.

Make It Easy, Not Hard

Systems > willpower. Reassess the small hurdles keeping you from your goals, like packing gym gear or keeping chargers in your bag.

Permission to Choose Convenience

Sometimes the upfront “cost” of convenience pays off in sustainable habits and a better quality of life.

What’s one goal you’ve struggled to stick to this year? Reflect on where friction exists in the process and share your insights with us! We’d love to hear your stories and strategies—DM us on Instagram, email us, or leave a review with your thoughts. Let’s make 2025 your easiest and best year yet. ✨

Welcome back our beautiful friends and doctor humans!

In this episode, we explore a transformative SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE framework to help you set meaningful goals and create a fulfilling life in 2025.

We're going to think your life as a business to borrow from those powerful strategic planning processes.

What’s your mission? What are your values? And how will you allocate your resources to make it all happen? These three questions are game changers for clarity, focus, and intentional living. Grab a cozy drink, settle in, and let’s dive into creating your best year yet!

Here's some cliff notes to follow along with the 3 steps:

• (1) Your Mission for 2025:

  • What’s your one big-picture goal for the year?
  • Examples: prioritising health, deepening relationships, or advancing professionally.

• (2) Your Values (Your Word for the Year):

  • Define the values that will guide your actions.
  • Choose a word or phrase to focus on for the year (e.g., “Impact,” “Let it be easy”).
  • Use your values as a decision-making filter to stay aligned with what matters most.

• (3) Your Resource Allocation (no fantasy planning):

  • What do you need to let go of to make room for your mission?
  • Reflect on your time, energy, and other resources—what’s truly worth your investment?

Actionable Steps:

1. Write down your mission for 2025.
2. Choose your word for the year.
3. Assess your commitments and decide what to release.

In this episode, we're dishing out one of LEAST WELL-KNOWN but MOST POWERFUL steps in your 2025 goal-setting.

Listen to the episode to find out what!

Here are some other bonus things we discussed:

📈 The Importance of Reflecting on 2024: Why looking back honestly at your goals, successes, and challenges is crucial.

📈 Fantasy Planning: How overestimating time and energy can derail our ambitions and how to avoid this trap.

📈 The Power of Forgiveness: Why forgiving yourself for missed goals is the key to maintaining self-trust and staying committed to big dreams.

📈 Iterative Goal Setting: Using past experiences to refine your goals for the year ahead.

📈 Long-Term Perspective: Shifting from one-year milestones to multi-year visions for transformative growth.

📈 Permission to Be Ambitious: Set goals to grow, not just to achieve.

Build the ability to reflect on what worked and what didn’t in your year without judgment. Throughout our dream- and goal-chasing lives, we need to keep a good relationship with ourselves through the highs and lows. This means we need to embrace forgiveness as a necessary step in our journey.

💌 We want to hear from you! What big dreams are you chasing in 2025? Are you going to add in this step of forgiveness into your goal-setting process?

Hey beautiful friends & doctor humans!

Kristeen Barker and Doctor Becc, and welcome back to *Am I Doing It Wrong?*, the podcast for doctors by doctors.

In this week’s episode, we're redefining imposter syndrome - what it ISN'T and what it IS.

Together, we explore how our confidence doesn’t always have to rely on competence, and why rethinking the narrative around imposter syndrome can be the key to thriving in medicine.

Our Key Points on Imposter Syndrome:

🧠 What is Imposter Syndrome, Really? We question this syndrome and whether there's actually anything to panic about here.

🧠 Imposter Syndrome - Redefined. We talk about what Imposter Syndrome is: this doubting your good-enough-ness and belonging.

🧠 Cultural Pressures in Medicine: The hidden influence of medical culture on our self-perception and how to break free from unrealistic expectations.

🧠 Confidence vs. Competence: Why tying your confidence to your competence might be holding you back—and how to flip the script.

🧠 Mindset Mastery: Practical tips to identify and challenge the thoughts that fuel self-doubt.

🧠 Confidence as a Skill: How to cultivate confidence in uncertain situations to enhance your performance and growth.

Your Next Steps:

Reflect

1️⃣ Do you WANT to feel confidence? Why and why not? (Uncover your confidence blocks + motivation)

2️⃣ How would your life be different if you could feel confident in a specific area?

3️⃣ Where are you doubting yourself? How are you defining competence here?

And... SHARE: Share your thoughts with us!

Drop a comment, send a DM, or connect with us on social media. We’d love to hear how you’re redefining your relationship with imposter syndrome. 💌

 Hey beautiful friends & doctor humans!

Kristeen Barker and Doctor Becc, and welcome back to *Am I Doing It Wrong?*, the podcast for doctors by doctors.

WE ARE GOING TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT THIS UNTIL WE CHANGE THE RHETORIC IN HEALTHCARE.

If you're going through a difficult time recently and you're JUST STARTING to treat yourself and talk to yourself more reasonably... AND THEN SOMEONE COMES ALONG and says something like,

☄️ "Just be positive"

☄️ "You're just being fragile"

When you've always been someone who criticises yourself (ahem, many doctors), this familiar dialogue can easily infiltrate your assessments of yourself.

This week, we’re diving deep into how to stay in your integrity when people give unsolicited dismissive 'advice'

And why we believe it’s okay - and even productive - to NOT just 'be positive' and to actually spend time experiencing the emotions your body is producing. We explore how we can navigate these interactions without letting others’ words derail what we know is best for us.

Join us, Doctor Becc and Kristeen, for an empowering discussion on how to stay grounded and in your integrity in the face of critical and misguided advice.

In this episode:

🫀 How to recognise when someone’s “advice” is actually dismissive and lacks logic and self-awareness.

🫀 Why it’s essential to embrace and validate our negative emotions rather than suppress them.

🫀 The problem with societal pressure to always “stay positive” and how it leads to a disconnect from ourselves.

🫀 The impact of toxic positivity in medical culture and why we need more compassion and open space for processing emotions.

🫀 Tools for processing unsolicited advice from a place of self-awareness and emotional resilience.

🫀 Why tuning into your values and recognising your own expertise on yourself is the key to making empowering choices.

Let’s keep this important conversation going AND CHANGE THIS DEFAULT RHETORIC IN HEALTHCARE! We all deserve better. If this episode resonated with you, share your thoughts, stories, or questions 💌

Speaking of MANAGING YOUR ENERGY & REJUVENATING, have you tried Kristeen's AFTER WORK UPWARD SPIRAL track? In just 5 MINUTES, Kristeen helps move up up the energy & emotional scale energy by directing your mindset to be able to go into your evening with intention and energy:

 Hey beautiful friends & doctor humans!

In this episode of Am I Doing It Wrong, we dive into a common self-care misstep: thinking that JUST ANY time away from work will be rejuvenating.

Nope.

Just because you're not at work or working doesn't mean you're putting deposits in your energy bank.

In particularly in this episode, we dive into how we've fallen into the trap of mistaking *socialising* for a method or rest and rejuvenation. Maybe you can hear this in your thoughts too as you say, "I've had the weekend off and spent time hanging out and having fun with friends. So I should be refreshed for work on Monday".

In fact, having MORE social time can actually create the need for MORE rejuvenation time. It's all about making sure you can listen to what your body & mind is asking for in the moment.

There are 2 main ideas we want to prompt you with

1️⃣ We want you to stop thinking something is wrong with you if you DON'T feel refreshed after a weekend socialising. For may of us, we have to recognise this as something that we want to invest energy in but that we don't *always* get energy back from.

2️⃣ We want you to be so clear about HOW YOU REJUVENATE so that when you want do, you can hit the right buttons to get that result.

In this episode:

🧠 Kristeen and Dr. Becc share personal stories of how, even with a break from work, genuine rest and rejuvenation often require solitude.

🧠 Reflecting on how grief, loss, and intense social commitments can amplify the need for personal time and self-connection.

🧠 Discussion on how social interactions, while meaningful, may still be exhausting due to the "hypervigilance" required to maintain energy and connection.

🧠 Importance of examining social expectations and giving yourself permission to step back and find peace alone, without guilt.

🧠 Reminders that even with loved ones, it’s okay if time together isn’t always relaxing. We don't have to make it mean it's not a 'good' relationship. Sometimes, what’s missing is reconnection with yourself first.

🧠 Practical advice on how to build authentic, fulfilling social interactions and ensure you’re meeting your personal needs too.

Have you got some self-care fails to share with us? We want to hear them! 💌

Hey beautiful friends & doctor humans! Kristeen Barker and Doctor Becc, and welcome back to *Am I Doing It Wrong?*, the podcast for doctors by doctors. Today we have a fun and super practical episode for those of you who are balancing the demands of a clinical day with the need to study in the evenings. You know, those nights when you’re mentally exhausted but still need to hit the books? We’ve got just the thing to help you feel energised, focused, and ready to make the most of that time. Sounds too good to be true? Like magic? Well, it kind of is. Our minds are so incredibly powerful. We're going to show you how to use them to make magic happen. We’re excited to bring you tool a tool to GIVE YOU THE ENERGY YOU NEED for your evening study session (or for our consultants, whatever other goals & priorities you have in your life). ... EVEN AFTER a DRAINING, challenging clinical day. We're going to walk you through transitioning from a busy clinical day into productive study time by harnessing mental shifts that boost energy, focus, and positivity. Here are 3 Elements to Shift Your Energetic State using your MINDSET: 1️⃣ Appreciation – appreciation is a TOOL to move you UP the emotional scale. This can help change your physiology and actually CREATE energy or TURN OFF stressful energy spending processes. 2️⃣ Recognition – not everything is EASY. And, notice, you wouldn't have it that way even if you could. When things are difficult, you get to see in no unclear terms how resourceful, capable and skilful you are. Instead of ignoring or resenting the things that were hard in your day, recognise what you feel proud of and strong in. 3️⃣ Connecting with Your "Why" – Reconnecting with the purpose and motivation that inspired you to pursue medicine. This isn’t about pushing through exhaustion — this is about creating energy where you had none. Download the free recording linked below to start practicing these mindset shifts WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO THINK. 🔓🚀 https://tutorials.kristeenbarker.com/pages/doctor-wellbeing 🚀🔓 Let us know how it goes! 💌

Hey beautiful friends & doctor humans! 🧠🥂 

WELCOME to the last video in the UNSHAKEABLE MINDSETS Series. 

We're bringing this series to you on the poddy because doctors deserve to be able to show up as their most confident, calm and in control version of themselves in their lives. 

Don't they?

And these mindsets help you do that. Our general experience and upbringing in society has created so much confusion about what we should do, what's expected of us, what's our responsibility and what's the good/right answer for how to do life.

Our medical training and culture has only reinforced and taken that confusion and never-enough-ness to a-whole-nother-level.

Let's correct this together. 🧠

So that we can be unshakeable. 📈

Ready?

THIS SERIES will bring you mindsets to be unshakeable in 4 KEY AREAS:

Pillar 1️⃣ Your relationship with yourself

Pillar 2️⃣ Your relationship with uncertainty

Pillar 3️⃣ Your relationship with emotions (esp suffering)

Pillar 4️⃣ Your relationship with others

👑 These are my 4 pillars of being unshakeable. 

📚 Each with its own collection of mindsets that make you unshakeable. 

Welcome to Pillar 4 today: Your Relationship with Others

👉 These are the mindsets related to your relationship with OTHERS that make you unshakeable. 

This is usually the mindset pillar that my clients find the most life-changing because it is the place that we're often most confused an accidentally, innocently disempowered. In fact, most of us are implicitly and very explicitly taught disempowering mindsets when it comes to others.

This one's for my people-pleasers, over-givers and only-want-to-make-everyone-happy-ers 😉

I'm about to flip your world upside down for the better.

Which one of these mindsets do YOU think you need to be more unshakeable? Which one do you WANT to believe for yourself the most? Let us know in the comments! 💌

Hey beautiful friends & doctor humans! Kristeen Barker and Doctor Becc, and welcome back to *Am I Doing It Wrong?*, the podcast for doctors by doctors.

Ever felt a pang of jealousy or envy when comparing yourself to other doctors? In this episode, Doctor Becc and Kristeen dive deep into the common struggle of comparison in the medical profession.

We explore how these emotions can spiral into self-doubt and shame, and offer practical strategies to reframe your perspective and harness the power of comparison for personal growth.

Key Points

🧠 Except comparison - it's a normal function of our brains. As a doctor, it's common to compare yourself as a part of the process of developing and maintaining your standards.

🧠 Use the experiences of jealousy and admiration to increase your self-awareness and emotional intelligence.🧠 We don't want to get rid of our comparison - we want to transform our emotional experience of it from jealousy to admiration

🧠 Harness comparison for growth. We talk about how you can use comparison as a tool for getting what you what and becoming who you want to be.

Ready to thrive in your career without being dragged down by comparison? Let's go.

Hello our doctor humans, our beautiful friends,

It's hard to believe it's already been a year since we launched "Am I Doing It Wrong." We've come a long way, and we couldn't have done it without your support. We are so grateful to have been able to connect with you and to have a community to share our experiences as doctors.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

To celebrate this milestone, we're taking a trip down memory lane and revisiting some of our favourite episodes.

🎧 YOUR favourite episode was "Doctors, Do You Self-Sabotage?" (Episode 24)

Kristeen still wants to claim the Self-Sabotage Queen Crown. Any of you willing to step forwards and challenge her title? You've told us self-sabotage resonates with you!

🎧 Becc's favourite episode was Episode 15, where we shared her "BOARDROOM MODEL OF THE MIND" concept as a model of how to WORK WITH instead of against our minds. She uses this with her clients ALL - THE - TIME - and wants OUR PODDY LISTERNER to have this total advantage too.

This is a high-yield episode to refresh your memory on some of the most powerful lessons we learned about self-sabotage, emotional regulation, and imposter syndrome. We'll also be sharing some practical tips for managing stress, anxiety, and burnout.

Join us as we reflect on our journey and share insights that can help you thrive as a doctor.

What was YOUR FAVOURITE EPISODE? Was there any episode that particularly impacted you? We'd LOVE to hear your favourite episodes and lessons learned in the comments!💌

Are you tired of letting uncertainty hold you back from making those big life decisions? You're not alone. We've all been there, second-guessing ourselves and wishing for a crystal ball. In this episode, we're spilling the tea on how to confidently navigate life's crossroads and stop being paralysed in decision-making. We'll help you ditch the idea of a 'right' answer and embrace the power of choice - before and after the decision. So, grab a cuppa, get cozy, and let's empower you to make decisions with the confidence you deserve. Hey Doctor Humans! Welcome back to our podcast. We know that making decisions can feel like a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs. That's why we're here to be your trusty companions on this journey. Let's dive into the world of decision-making together. Key Points 🔮 Busting the 'right' answer myth: There's no perfect choice. Recognise when you're trying to figure out the 'right' decisions when that's not available and stop letting that fallacy stifle you. 🔮 Commit and conquer: Once you've made a choice, back yourself 100% to give yourself the BEST SHOT at that outcome you want. Your outcome isn't just determined by your decision - but what you do WITH that decision. 🔮 Accept uncertainty. Don't waste time on questions that can't be answered. It's hard for doctors, but when we accept uncertainty, we make better decisions. Notice how your brain DOESN'T WANT TO accept that uncertainty exists - coach yourself into your ability to handle uncertainty. So, what big decision are you facing right now? We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts and experiences with us. And don't forget to subscribe to our podcast for more tips and support. You're not alone on this journey, and we're here to talk it out and cheer you on every step of the way. 💌

Hey Doctor Humans! Are you tired of living for the weekend? Dreaming of a life where every day feels like a mini-vacation? Join us as we dive deep into the art of crafting a life you don't need a holiday from. We're talking about ditching the 'arrival fallacy' and finding joy in the everyday. Let's redefine success together. In this episode, we start with a POWERFUL question to use to guide the way you set up your life and therefore the decisions you make. ... Better than, "Do what you're passionate about" ... Better than, "What's the RIGHT thing to do?"; "What does everyone else say?" We're diving deep into the concept of creating a life where you don't need to escape. We share personal stories about the pursuit of balance and fulfillment, and explore practical steps to bring more joy and meaning into your daily life. We challenge the idea that happiness is a destination so that you don't get caught in the COMMON trap of many doctors of putting your life on hold. We talk about everything from appreciating appreciating what you've actually got to changing your circumstances. Let's break free from the endless cycle of 'almost there' and start living our best lives now. Are you going to answer this powerful question for yourself? Share your answers and other thoughts and experiences with us on social media! We can't wait to hear from you! 💌

Hey Doctor Humans!

Empathetic and overwhelmed?

Kristeen Barker and Dr. Becc explore the complexities of empathy in medicine. From wedding tears to the realities of the ICU, they delve into how to harness this powerful emotion without burning out.

Being an empathic doctor can be both a strength and highly fulfilling and a weakness and great challenge - it depends on how you use it! Kristeen Barker and Dr. Becc discuss the challenges and rewards of empathy in medical practice.

They explore how to balance emotional connection with patients while maintaining professional boundaries.

🫀 Empathy is a powerful tool for doctors: Connecting with patients on a deeper emotional level can improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.

🫀 Understand the difference between cognitive and emotional empathy: Cognitive empathy involves intellectually understanding a patient's perspective, while emotional empathy involves experiencing their feelings. Both are important for effective patient care.

🫀 Manage the 'fixer' mentality: Sometimes patients and people in general don't want most for you to' fix' anything but they want you to use your empathy to see them and connect with them.

🫀 Practice emotional regulation and self-awareness: Developing strategies to manage emotions is crucial for doctors. Are you an empathetic doctor? Join the club with Kristeen & Becc ...And let them know in the comments! 💌

Hey Doctor Humans!

Feeling burnt out?

... But that you don't have enough time to take care of yourself...

In this episode, Dr. Becc and Kristeen Barker debunk the myth that self-care has to take a lot of time. They’ll share some self-care that you can easily incorporate into your day to boost your energy and well-being.... AND get you more time back.

Dr. Becc and Kristeen Barker acknowledge the challenges that doctors face in finding time for self-care. They discuss two unconventional and controversial self-care practices that can be powerful, bold changes:

1️⃣ Ditching the news: Exposing yourself to constant distressing news can be a powerful, insidious drain your energy.

It is a privilege to be able to simply 'shut off' from the terrors of human life both locally and globally. If you find that watching the news is helping you make changes in the world, please continue. But if it is draining your energy without moving you to action, it's time to start valuing your energy.

2️⃣ Evaluating the close-circle energy vampires in your life: Not everyone is good for your well-being. It’s okay to distance yourself from people who drain your energy. If you're someone who values making an impact in the world, it's all about looking at if net-good is created from your choices.

The hosts acknowledge that these practices can be controversial, but they encourage listeners to consider the overall net impact of their choices and, make sure they actually factor themselves into that equation.

Let Kristeen and Becc know your thoughts! We are open as always to your perspectives and different opinions 💌

So, doctor humans,

... No matter how hard you try, you can't seem to keep to the appointment schedule. You're not alone! 

In this episode of Am I Doing It Wrong, Dr. Becc and Kristeen Barker explore the surprising reasons why doctors often run late, and why it has almost nothing to do with your efficiency.

This episode of Am I Doing It Wrong tackles a common struggle for doctors: running behind in clinic. Hosts Dr. Becc and Kristeen Barker debunk the myth that doctors who run late are simply not good enough. Instead, they explore the hidden factors that contribute to this problem, such as unrealistic appointment times, unclear expectations, and the pressure to prioritise speed over quality care.

The episode also highlights the importance of self-compassion. Many doctors blame themselves for running late, leading to feelings of shame and frustration. 

Dr. Becc and Kristeen encourage doctors to make choices in their practice that align with their professional standards of patient care, even if it means adjusting appointment times or clinic workflows.

Key points discussed:

• Doctors often feel like failures when they run late in clinic.
• The reasons for running late are often complex and not related to a doctor's competency.
• Unrealistic expectations, allowing medicare to suggest standards for doctors, people-pleasing your patients and being unwilling to take more authority are common reasons doctors run late.
• Doctors need to prioritise their own values and standards and practice in a way that feels authentic.

Are you struggling to keep to time in clinic too? Share your experiences and frustrations with us. Let's start a conversation about how to create a better system for doctors and patients alike.

Hello Doctor Humans!

Feeling overwhelmed and behind on your 2024 goals?

... Avoiding checking in with your goals at the midpoint of the year?

You're not alone! Dr. Kristeen Barker and Dr. Becc riff on the common pitfall of getting stuck in the weeds and forgetting to check-in with your big dreams. This episode is your pep talk to hit the pause button, re-evaluate, and get back on track to a thriving second half of the year.

Dr. Kristeen Barker and Dr. Becc open the episode acknowledging the common struggle of doctors – feeling busy but not necessarily accomplishing what truly matters. They emphasise the importance of quarterly check-ins with your goals to avoid the feeling of overwhelm and disappointment.

Here are the key takeaways:

🧠 Confusing busyness with productivity: Just because you're working hard doesn't mean you're moving the needle on your goals. It's easy to get stuck in the comfort zone of busy work without actually achieving anything meaningful.

🧠 The Gap vs. The Gain: Our brains are wired to focus on the gap between where we are and where we want to be, leading to negativity and self-doubt. It's crucial to acknowledge your achievements and shift your mindset to focus on the progress you've made.

🧠 The Truth & Dare Protocol - Two Truths and a Dare: A helpful tool for self-reflection. Reflect on two truths (what went well and what didn't) and use the "dare" to identify one thing you'll do differently moving forward.Don't wait! Take some time to reflect on your 2024 goals. It doesn't need to be perfect or elaborate. Use the Two Truths and a Dare exercise for a simple check in protocol to get out of the gap & into the gain.
