In this episode, Dr. Shadé Zahrai and Jay Shetty talk about what really drives your self-doubt. She says it comes down to four things. She shows you how to spot which one is yours. Shadé shares a study where people were given a fake scar. Then the scar was secretly wiped off. They still felt judged by everyone they met. She opens up about hiding behind her cubicle at a law firm, sure she was a hiring mistake. And Jay shares why his hands shake before a big talk, and why he stopped fighting it. Learn why feeling like a fraud can be a good sign. And learn the short reply to say when someone tells you, "You've changed."
