    Jun 14 2026
    What if the fear you've always been told to "get over" is actually a signal worth listening to?Dr. Manju Dawkins is a board-certified dermatologist, founder and CEO of Thimble Health, the first over-the-counter needle care platform designed to take the pain and fear out of needles. When her newborn daughter looked up at her during a vaccine appointment, something shifted. That one moment became the seed of an entire company.In this conversation, Dr. Dawkins shares her journey from full-time dermatologist to healthcare disruptor, what it costs to self-censor as a woman of color entrepreneur, and why perfectionism nearly kept her playing it safe. She also opens up about motherhood, the NBA Foundation All-Star Pitch Competition, and the quiet hug from her daughter that meant more than any prize.Episode Takeaways:Why 63% of adults experience needle fear and why we rarely talk about itThe moment that sparked the creation of Thimble HealthHow the Prepare Patch and Recover Patch work and why post-procedure pain mattersWhy medical training can work against the entrepreneurial mindsetThe real cost of perfectionism in medicine and beyondWhat self-censoring looks like for women of color in leadershipWhy dreaming matters more than mapping out five-year plansHow collaboration beats competition every timeOne piece of advice for anyone sitting on an idea: write it down and take one stepReferenced:Jill Bolte Taylor’s TED Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU About the guest:Dr. Manju Chacko Dawkins is a board-certified dermatologist, founder and CEO of Thimble, keynote speaker, and mother of two.

Thimble's two-part system includes Prepare, a topical lidocaine patch that numbs skin before injections, and Recover, a turmeric and arnica patch that soothes soreness afterward. She holds a B.A. from Columbia University and her M.D. from the University of Maryland, completed her dermatology residency and served as Chief Resident at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and was twice named Teacher of the Year as an Assistant Professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

  • Ep 68. How Imposter Syndrome Differs in Perfectionists and How to Create Confidence

    Ep 68. How Imposter Syndrome Differs in Perfectionists and How to Create Confidence
    Jun 7 2026

    Have you ever landed a major accomplishment and immediately thought, that was just luck? Or received praise and felt your stomach drop, terrified someone will finally realize you're not as competent as they think?

    That's imposterism, and if you're a perfectionist, you're not just experiencing it. You're experiencing it on steroids.

    In this solo episode, Dr. Amna Shabbir breaks down why imposterism isn't a syndrome or a character flaw, but a pattern. She explains exactly why perfectionists are uniquely wired to feel it more intensely, and shares one simple, evidence-based tool you can use the next time these feelings creep in.

    Episode Takeaways

    • Why feeling like a fraud is actually evidence of self-awareness, empathy, and humility — 70% of people experience imposterism, including the most successful people in the room
    • How deficit thinking makes perfectionism and imposterism deeply intertwined, keeping perfectionists stuck in a cycle of achieving and dismissing
    • External attribution bias and why perfectionists give luck the credit while keeping themselves the blame
    • The Evidence Log: one practical tool to interrupt imposter feelings with objective data the next time self-doubt creeps in
    • How identity, culture, marginalization, and lived experience shape the unique flavor of imposterism you carry
