Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Why so many physicians struggle to feel proud—even when they should." Jessie explains how medical training conditions doctors to downplay success, deflect compliments, and equate pride with arrogance. She shares her own journey of learning to name and celebrate achievements, and how creating space for physicians to express pride can foster authenticity, confidence, and cultural change in medicine. Jessie highlights moving stories from reflective circles where physicians express pride in acts of courage, resilience, and alignment with values. Listeners will gain insights into how embracing pride can shift the culture of medicine from quiet suffering toward intentional, compassionate leadership.
