From imposter syndrome to overcoming shame and vulnerability, Shahbaz shares what it really took to choose growth and healing, even when life felt overwhelming. Whether you’re the child of immigrants, a parent, a professional navigating bias, or someone quietly suffering under the weight of expectations, this episode is for you.  Time Stamps  00:00 – Intro & early childhood  10:00 – Returning to the UK & fitting in  20:00 – Academic life-changing moments  30:00 – Racism, belonging, and cultural challenges  50:00 – Spiritual turning points and identity  1:00:00 – Career hurdles & professional identity  1:14:00 – Burnout, therapy, healing, and self-discovery  1:36:00 – Wisdom for the next generation Key Quotes "I wanted to be anything but me – but in the end, I had to face myself."
