In today’s episode of The Tamsen Show, Joanna Strober (CEO and co-founder of Midi Health) sits down with Tamsen Fadal to discuss the habits, mindset shifts, and resilience you need to build the unstoppable confidence to go after what you want.
The lesson Joanna shares in this episode is harsh but true: it doesn’t matter how accomplished you are, confidence is something we all want and need more of.
The good news is that confidence isn’t something you have or don’t have. Confidence is a byproduct of the opportunities you create for yourself, the people you surround yourself with, and the courage and curiosity you bring to every chapter of your life. Joanna’s life and career teaches us that confidence is strengthened by doing it before you feel ready, by taking the first step without worrying what the second step might look like.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What it takes to build a billion-dollar company
- The daily habits of highly successful people
- What to do when you realize you’re on the wrong career path
- Mindset shifts to overcome career setbacks
Plus, Tamsen and Joanna discuss:
- The future of women’s health and telemedicine
- The gaps in (peri)menopause and midlife healthcare
- The changing conversation around weight management, obesity, and GLP-1’s
The most interesting thing about Joanna isn’t her accolades, but how many chapters she’s lived. With each milestone, she learned how to move through fear and rejection with more strength, how to pivot when doors close, and how to carve out new opportunities that are changing the world.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a framework to do the same.
