So I make mistakes all the time, but yeah, it's having that true North star of knowing who you are and doing the things that you want to do and not because you're a people pleaser or everyone thinks you should or shouldn't be doing something.
It's very difficult. Sometimes as a woman, you have to be stern in order to be taken seriously. If the patient all of a sudden in the middle of surgery is not doing well, and I need to command the attention of the room and I raise my voice, people are like, Oh, she was very stringent there or very bossy. But if a male does it. than he's seen as taking charge and getting control of the room.

So I think there is a double standard when it comes to how men and women have to behave in the workplace. Sometimes after something terrible has just happened, I try to comfort the nurses or comfort my medical students, but I see my male colleagues just take off their gloves and leave the room.

So you have to balance this assertiveness and ability to command the room and command respect of those who you work with but still have a softer side so that you don't get labeled with a certain word. It's difficult.

The first step is to not take yourself so seriously because if you're serious and like, oh, I'm an anesthesiologist, I'm a surgeon, I'm a CEO, then you're not going to get on the floor and do the funny things and make sounds and pretend to be an animal.

Or in my case in 2020, when we were all stuck at home during the pandemic, that's when I started doing TikTok dances and making like quarantine fashion and like making a dress out of toilet paper or something like that. The first step is to get over yourself. You're not that big of a deal.

Everyone's just trying to have a good time and you will be much more likable and relatable if you just let down your guard and just be yourself. So for me, that was the number one thing. The second thing is to stop caring what other people think. I have a coaching business and I sometimes work with my clients on business coaching or social media coaching and marketing.

And they'll be like, oh no, Dr. Moon, like I can't possibly do what you do on social media and make these skits or post pictures of myself. Like I, and I'm like, why not? Why can't you? Oh, well I have patients and my grandmother, she's like very religious. I don't want her to, and it's, you have to stop. Living your life according to what other people might think or say about you.
