I passed my driving test — but the biggest lesson that day wasn’t about the road.

In this episode, I share the story of a rainy test-day morning, a surprising birthday connection with the examiner, and the one piece of feedback that hit deeper than the score: “The only thing I have for you is your self-criticism.”

I reflect on what that meant, how it connects to self-doubt, and what I’ve been learning about self-efficacy, belief, and the quiet power of talking to yourself with more trust.

If you’ve ever had trouble owning your progress — even when you're doing well — this one’s for you.
