Hello doctor humans!
Today, we’re diving into a topic that hits every doctor’s nerve: why we don’t leave work on time.
If you’ve ever found yourself staying late to finish that “one last thing,” or if you’ve felt guilty walking out on time while others keep working — this episode is for you. We’re unpacking the seven hidden reasons we stay past our shifts, from the sneaky “hero complex” to cultural expectations and even our perfectionist brains chasing that sweet, sweet dopamine hit of a cleared to-do list. We promise — this one’s going to stir up some feelings, but also offer a whole lot of clarity and compassion.
In this episode, we’ll dive into:
If this episode hits close to home — if you’ve found yourself torn between being a “good doctor” and taking care of yourself — we’d love to hear from you.

Hello, doctor humans!
In this episode we’re unpacking a familiar but sneaky story many doctors carry: the belief that “if it isn’t hard, it isn’t worthy.” From choosing a specialty, to surviving exams, to finally finishing training and wondering why we can’t just relax. We talk about where that drive comes from, how it shapes our choices, and how to intentionally choose ease (without shame) so we can build a fuller life beyond constant struggle. If you’ve ever felt like you must earn your worth through effort, this one’s for you.
In this episode, we’ll dive into:
We’d love to hear from you — do you feel confident enough to choose the easier path? Or does the idea of not having your foot heavy on the accelerator terrify you?
Share this episode with a colleague who needs permission to take their heavy foot off the accelerator — let’s normalise choosing ease together.

Hello, doctor humans!
In this week’s episode, we’re diving into something that feels like a game-changer for both of us in clinic and beyond—finding what we’re calling “The Sweet Spot.” It’s that place where we’re not in survival mode, not overextending ourselves trying to be the “perfect” doctor, but instead showing up authentically, with enoughness at the core. We can’t wait to share it with you because we know so many of you will resonate with the tug-of-war between “not enough” and “trying too hard.”
In this episode, we’ll dive into:
We’d love to hear from you—do you know this feeling of neutrality or is it a new concept for you? Have you found your own “sweet spot” in medicine or life?
Experiment in your clinic and report back. We can’t wait to keep this conversation going with you.

Hello, doctor humans!
In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic we know so many of us can relate to: that tempting urge to pretend. Whether it’s in front of patients, colleagues, or even friends, there are those moments where we feel pressure to act like we know more, feel less, or have it all together.
Today, we’re unpacking what’s really happening underneath that urge (often shame, fear, or people-pleasing) and exploring how telling the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable, can free us and deepen our relationships.
In this episode, we’ll dive into:
What situations have tempted you to pretend, and how did you handle it? Drop us a comment, send us a message, or share this episode with someone who might need the reminder that honesty really is the more powerful path.

Hello our beautiful friends and doctor humans!
Ever catch yourself feeling grumpy, drained, or inexplicably furious at a meeting, a shift, or a project you technically said yes to? Yep, that sneaky little monster is called resentment, and today we’re talking all about it.
From unpaid overtime to those “this could’ve been an email” meetings, we explore why resentment shows up, what it really means, and—most importantly, how we can stop it from sucking our energy and joy.
Doctor Becc shares a real-life moment (yes, just yesterday!) of getting stuck in the resentment loop, and we both unpack the layers of this heavy feeling with humour, humility, and practical tools to help you move through it.
In this episode, we’ll dive into:
🔁 Why resentment is a lie built on fantasy planning and unrealistic expectations
🚗 A real-time story of Becc’s weekend resentment spiral and how she pulled herself out
📉 How resentment hurts us, drains our energy, and sabotages our goals
⛓️ The lie that we’re “stuck” or “forced” into things (and how that lie fuels resentment)
🧠 Why just telling yourself “you chose this” doesn’t work—and what to do instead
🧾 The power of a good, ugly Thought Download (yes, even the thoughts you’re ashamed of)
💡 Practical mindset tools for transforming resentment into empowerment and connection
Where does resentment show up for you in doctor life? Is it meetings? On-call shifts? The sneaky projects that eat your weekends?

Hello our beautiful friends and doctor humans!
In this episode, we’re diving into something that so many of us in medicine quietly wrestle with: the emotional chaos of being on call.
Not just the practicalities, but the deeper, stickier stuff, like the loss of freedom, the hypervigilance, the interruption of joy, and how that bloody phone ring can yank you straight out of flow and into fury. 😤
Kristeen opens up about her very real struggle with on-call life (and her deep dislike of it), and Doctor Becc walks her through the emotional layers behind that resentment, grief for lost control, perfectionism, and the pain of feeling your goals slip further away.
Whether it’s just a 60-second phone call or being called in to operate all night after being called in that whole day so far…
If being on call ever makes you feel like you’re constantly bracing for impact, this one is absolutely for you.
In this episode, we’ll dive into:
📞 Why being on call feels like a bomb that could go off at any moment
💣 How living life around “maybe” calls steals more than just your time
🧠 The hidden link between being interrupted and fear of not reaching your goals
😣 The emotional cost of avoiding pain… and how that avoidance steals more than the call itself
💡 Coaching questions to help you untangle what’s really upsetting you on call
🥴 Real talk about overreactions (that aren’t actually overreactions)
💬 And an example from Becc about where she was not owning her emotions herself - and what if really means to take responsibility for generating them instead of blaming the world.
We want to hear from you: What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to being on call? Is it the sleep? The uncertainty? The lack of control?
Drop us a comment, message us, or leave a review telling us your on-call story (the good, the bad, and the grumbly). 💬✨
Let’s talk about it. Because you deserve a life that feels like yours, even when you’re on call. 💖

Doctors, are you holding back because you’re afraid to be... rubbish? 😅
In this cringe-filled yet power-packed episode, Doctor Becc (aka Dr Rebecca Nothrop) and Kristeen Barker dive deep into one of the biggest unspoken blocks for so many high-achieving medics: the fear of being bad at something new.
Whether you’re dreaming of launching a business, creating educational content, or starting a podcast of your own—there’s a big ol’ cringe tax at the beginning... and surprise! Cringe is forever.
This episode is for the creatively curious, the impact-driven innovators, and any doctor who's ever said, "I have this idea, but…".
Doctor Becc and Kristeen get real about:
Why being bad at something is the price of doing anything bold
How perfectionism sneaks in disguised as “reasonable planning”
The magic of letting it be easy—and letting it be cringe
Strategic byproducts: why your creative side hustle gives you more than just a goal
How building your cringe muscle might just unlock your best self
🎧 Come hang out, laugh with us, cringe a little, and leave with a whole new lens on growth.

Hello our beautiful friends and doctor humans!
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like their story is falling apart. Whether you’ve experienced a personal loss, faced professional rejection, or find yourself sitting in the middle of something that just hurts, we’re right here with you.
Today we’re unpacking that gut-wrenching moment when you don’t get what you wanted and the False Finality (thought error) that our brain creates.
We’ll explore why it feels like the end of the story (and why it isn’t), how to spot this mindset trap in real time, and how to open to the possibility that your heartbreak might actually be a plot twist… not a failure.
We’ve found - and we bet you have too - often a loss is actually a gain disguised as a loss in the moment.
We’re sharing our own stories, coaching insights, and powerful real-life moments from our doctor community to help you move through disappointment with more compassion, wisdom, and unshakable next-level confidence.
In this episode, we’ll uncover:
✨ Why not getting what you wanted can feel like the end of the story—and why that’s a lie
🌍 A heartfelt moment from our support peer group, where specialty rejection turned into hope
💔 Kristeen’s experience of personal loss and the unexpected growth it sparked
🧠 Why grief is valid but unnecessary suffering is optional—and how to tell the difference
🔄 How to stop judging a painful chapter as “the ending” and actively create an opportunity
If this episode speaks to you, we’d love to hear from you.
Share your story, send us a DM, or leave a review if this helped reframe something tough.
We love hearing from you.

Hello our beautiful friends and doctor humans!We’re celebrating one whole year of Dare Darling, and this episode is the ultimate love letter to the glorious messiness of transformational growth.
If you’ve ever felt like everything is going wrong when you step outside your comfort zone, this one’s for you.
Join us as Kristeen shares a hilariously relatable story of a tech-meltdown mid-presentation, and how that imperfect moment became the perfect proof she’s now totally unshakeable.
We’re unpacking the three phases every doctor goes through on the way to becoming unshakeable with next-level confidence, self-trust, and showing up big even when everything isn’t perfect (spoiler: it never is!).
In this episode, we’ll explore:
💥 The 3 Phases of Becoming Unshakeable: Phase Zero (safe + stuck), Phase One (action-taking, shaking), and Phase Two (unshakeable, bold action)
🎤 How Kristeen’s live talk went completely sideways, and why that was the best case scenario
🧠 What actually builds real confidence (hint: it’s not “doing it perfectly”)
❤️🔥 Why Phase One is messy and emotionally challenging… and absolutely necessary
🧘♀️ Self-trust as a skill: building it with every imperfect moment
📚 Yes, Dare Darling counts for CPD (and we’re giddy about it)
We’d love to hear from you!
What phase are you in right now? Are you feeling stuck in Phase Zero, braving the wild of Phase One, or basking in your unshakeable glow in Phase Two?
Leave a comment, message us, or drop a review—we’re here for the real talk and the messy wins. Let’s start a convo. 💬✨
Ever find yourself saying "yes" when you really mean "no"?
In this episode, Kristeen and Becc get honest about people pleasing — how it shows up in the lives of doctors (often without us realising), what it quietly takes from us, and what you can do to break the cycle.
We explore:
🧠 3 sneaky ways people pleasing shows up
😞 3 things it’s silently stealing from you
💡 3 practical tools to shift from pleasing to authentic professionalism
Whether you’re drowning in obligations, stuck in “yes mode,” or just wondering if this is part of why you’re so exhausted — this conversation is for you.
You’re not alone. And you can reclaim your time, your energy, and your why.

Are you brave enough to be that doctor?
In this heartfelt and fiercely real episode of Am I Doing It Wrong? — the podcast for doctors by doctors — Doctor Becc (Dr Rebecca Nothrop) and Kristeen Barker open up the emotional floodgates on one of the toughest challenges in medicine: speaking up when something isn’t right.
Whether it’s toxic gossip in the tea room or uncomfortable political clashes around the ward, the cost of staying silent can be far greater than the risk of speaking out.
⚡ Doctor Becc and Kristeen Barker dive into:
Why doctors often don’t speak up — and what stops us
The unseen ripple effect of hospital culture and public shaming
Real-life moments where staying silent wasn’t an option
How to sit with the discomfort of being “the unpopular one”
The art of speaking truth with empathy (and surviving the fallout)
This episode isn’t about telling you what’s right or wrong. It’s about helping you build your own inner compass, find your voice, and stand by your values — even when it’s scary, uncomfortable, or unpopular.
🌱 Expect plenty of laughs, a few emotional gut punches, and that signature Doctor Becc & Kristeen warmth as they ask the real questions: Am I doing it wrong… or am I just being brave?
💌 We want to hear from you!
Have you got a personal experience here? We'd LOVE to hear it and be inspired. Or to have a look at the challenges together.

Hi, friends! It’s Kristeen Becc here, and we are so excited to have you join us for today’s episode where we talk all things friendship.
As doctors, we often feel stretched thin between work, family, and other commitments, leaving little time for friendships. In this episode, we explore how to foster deeper, more meaningful friendships—even with limited time.
We'll be shining light on the limitations of "catch-up culture" and together setting the goal of creating shared experiences which truly strengthen relationships and enrich your life.
We hope you love this episode and share with all the friends you want to make memories with.
And if you are enjoying the poddy don't forget to subscribe and leave us an honest review.
Thank you so much for being here and we looking forward to hanging out with you again very soon.

Hi there beautiful friends and doctor humans!
It’s Kristeen and Doctor Becc here. We're so glad you're joining us today for another heartfelt chat.
In this episode, we’re diving into a topic we know many of you will relate to: the tension between wanting to be good, kind, and giving while learning to balance that with the realities of life and our human limits.
1. The Myth of Goodness:
Being "nice" or a "good person" often comes with perfectionistic definitions that set us up for self-doubt.
2. Perfectionism’s Trap:
High performers, like doctors, are especially prone to believing they must operate at 10/10 all the time. This mindset not only leads to burnout but also undercuts our ability to appreciate our efforts.
3. Redefining Goodness:
Instead of striving for perfection, we can focus on showing up with authenticity and giving our best within the energy we have each day.
4. Boundaries Are Key:
Being kind to yourself and setting healthy limits allows you to sustainably care for others without depleting your own reserves.
5. Rejecting Perfectionistic Thinking:
Learning to validate our own efforts, even when they’re not “perfect,” creates space for compassion and growth.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode! Have you ever struggled with perfectionism or doubting whether you’re "good enough"?
