You’ve worked so hard to be successful, but do you actually know how to enjoy it?
In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Hala Sabry—ER physician, mother of five, and founder of the Physician Moms Group (PMG) and the National Women Physicians Day—to explore the complex relationship women have with perfectionism, identity, and success.
Dr. Sabry opens up about her journey from being a people-pleasing perfectionist to embracing her power and how letting go of societal expectations allowed her to build one of the most impactful communities in modern medicine. With raw honesty, she discusses shame, cultural pressures, parenting as an immigrant daughter, and how to own your success without apology.
Together, they explore:
✅Your success is worth celebrating, not surviving.
✅Letting go of “perfect” might be your biggest power move.
✅Knowing what you don’t know is wisdom, not failure.
✅ How to build and enjoy your successful legacy.
