Authentic Confidence with Dr. Aziz
Do you worry what other people will think? Does it make you doubt yourself, feel guilty, and ultimately stop you from being fully yourself?
This can show up as people-pleasing and difficulty saying no. Or as social anxiety, staying silent in meetings, replaying conversations for hours afterward.
Dr. Aziz Gazipura is a clinical psychologist and bestselling author of Not Nice. He’s helped thousands of people break free from self-doubt and the fear of others’ opinions.
After 20 years of clinical work, Dr. Aziz discovered one pattern running underneath all of it. He calls it the approval trap: prioritizing approval over being yourself, saying what you mean, and going for what you actually want.
This show is for the person who looks confident on the outside and doesn’t feel it on the inside.
