Are you battling self-doubt and endless distractions that keep you from creating something that matters? You’re not alone.

In this episode of the Modern Pain Podcast, I share how I spent six months fighting my own inner critic and finally took action on a project I deeply care about.

We’ll talk about:
✅ Why even experienced clinicians feel like imposters sometimes
✅ The small, practical steps that helped me beat procrastination
✅ Tools and habits I’m using to stay focused and off the doomscrolling hamster wheel
✅ How these same principles apply to helping patients living with persistent pain

• Real-world tips for breaking through perfectionism and fear
• How to use tools like Pomodoro timers, productivity apps, and mindset shifts
• Why your “inner critic” isn’t telling the truth (and what to do instead!)
