The Unstuck Career
Break Free from Approval with Shiraz Baboo - Ep. 161
This week, we visit with Shiraz, an expert in helping people identify and break through their mental roadblocks. Together, we dive deep into the pervasive fear of what others think—a struggle that Shiraz estimates affects over 95% of people. From personal stories about dressing for approval to unraveling the voices in our heads that shape our identity, Ken and Shiraz explore how these beliefs are formed, why they’re so persistent, and most importantly, practical ways to retrain your mindset.
Shiraz shares transformative insights into how our internal narratives—often shaped by past experiences, family, and societal expectations—can hold us back, sometimes for decades. But there’s hope: with daily “mental workouts,” you can not only quiet those negative voices but also replace them with encouragement and self-belief. Listen in for Shiraz’s own powerful examples, from overcoming struggles at border crossings to making major business leaps, and learn actionable strategies to start getting unstuck and reclaim control over your career—and your life.
