    Identity, Uncertainty and The Pressure of Ending

    Episode 7: 📍 Identity, Uncertainty & the Pressure of Ending As medical school approaches its final chapters, uncertainty becomes louder — and the future suddenly feels real. In this episode, Sarina sits down with Intern Dr. Seher Yıldız to explore the invisible parts of becoming a doctor: the shifting sense of identity, quiet self-doubt, the fear of not being ready, and the pressure of having to choose a specialty — often without knowing what truly fits at the end of the road. Narrated by Diba and Gizem, this conversation reflects on standing at the edge of an ending — on what changes, what gets lost, and what slowly takes form beneath expectations, grades, and titles, also looks back at the hardest days of first two years of medical school — and the struggles that felt overwhelming then, even when no one else could see them. From uncertainty to self-trust, from searching to becoming, this episode is for anyone who feels they’re still in progress — and learning to be okay with that.
