About this listen

Most physicians rise through their careers believing that self-reliance is the key to success — until the moment it no longer works.

In this candid conversation, Dr. McNamara recounts:

  • The rejection that forced her to confront her fear of asking for help.
  • How mentorship transformed her belief about what makes a strong leader.
  • The emotional cost of compartmentalization — and the freedom she found in integration.
  • Why building genuine relationships, not perfection, is what inspires lasting leadership.
  • The two tools that reshaped her leadership mindset: “above the line” thinking and “who, not how.”

This episode reveals the hidden truth: real leadership starts when you stop pretending you can do it all alone. Dr. Erin McNamara, a pediatric urologist at Boston Children’s Hospital, shares how early academic success created an identity rooted in self-sufficiency — and how her first major failure shattered that illusion.
