Doctors, What If the Easier Path Is Enough?

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. 💜 Work with Dr Becc Inside Dare, Darling, Becc helps doctors become truly UNSHAKEABLE. ◽️ Apply for a free consult: https://2ly.link/27dxL 💌 Want FREE 1-line mindset upgrades every M/W/F to make you more UNSHAKEABLE? 💌 Just drop your email here: https://2ly.link/27dxJ 📚 Study with Kristeen If you’re preparing for physician exams — or just want to truly understand immunology & renal medicine — start here.
