I Didn’t Realise I Was the Problem | Dr Deon Weyers

What happens when success keeps ticking boxes, but something inside starts to feel off? Dr Deon Weyers is one of South Africa’s most respected plastic surgeons. On paper, his career reflects precision, excellence and high performance. But in this episode of Cheers to Failure, he speaks candidly about a quieter kind of failure, the kind that doesn’t explode, but slowly erodes you from within. This is a deeply honest conversation about leadership under pressure, the weight of expectation in high-stakes professions, and the internal warning signs that are easy to ignore when the world keeps applauding. Dr Weyers reflects on ego, emotional intelligence and the moment self-awareness became unavoidable, both as a leader and as a human being. Rather than dramatic collapse, this episode explores the subtler reckoning: choosing humility over image, responsibility over defensiveness, and growth over comfort. In this episode of Cheers to Failure, Dr Deon Weyers discusses: ◽ Life inside a high-performance medical career ◽ The pressure of leadership and decision-making ◽ Ego and professional blind spots ◽ Emotional intelligence and accountability ◽ When success no longer feels like success ◽ Choosing growth through discomfort This is a conversation about honesty before healing. If you’ve ever looked successful on the outside but felt unsettled within, this episode will resonate.
