You’ve made the decision to leave corporate medicine and start your own practice. It’s exciting. It’s bold. It’s exactly what you’ve been working toward. And yet… you find yourself hesitating. Procrastinating. Convincing yourself you’re “not ready enough.”

These safety stop moments are completely normal. In fact, they can be a valuable part of your decision-making process—if you know how to handle them. But when they go unchecked, they often lead to endless overthinking, getting pulled off course by other people’s opinions, and staying stuck in analysis paralysis instead of building the practice you envisioned.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through a simple three-step framework to help you spot and move through these moments so you can manage overwhelm and take confident action (even if you don’t feel fully ready). Whether you’re preparing to leave corporate medicine or facing another major business decision, these tools will help you navigate doubt with clarity and momentum.
