#85 — Are your supports holding you back?
Think back to learning how to ride a bike. Training wheels help you stay upright—but eventually, you have to let them go if you want to truly ride.
The same thing happens in science and in life. We lean on habits, routines, and support systems that once helped, but over time they can quietly start to hold us back.
In this episode of The Happy Scientist, we explore how to recognize the “crutches” you might still be relying on—like always checking with a colleague before making decisions, sticking to outdated routines, or avoiding tasks that feel uncomfortable. More importantly, we’ll show you how to move beyond them with confidence.
Listen in to learn how to let go of what no longer serves you, while building the skills, resilience, and self-trust to thrive without the training wheels.
