Why do you still feel stuck, stressed, or not good enough, even when you’re succeeding?
Dr. Tara Perry returns to the I Choose Health Podcast with Stefan Lessie to explore subconscious patterns, imposter syndrome, people pleasing, and the childhood beliefs that can shape our adult lives.
Drawing on her background in acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and hypnotherapy, Dr. Perry shares her perspective on the mind-body connection and integrative healing. We discuss how parents model emotional patterns, why high achievers struggle with self-doubt, and how mindfulness, breathwork, boundaries, and celebrating progress can support emotional well-being.
