I’m excited to be joined on the podcast by one of my dear friends and a fellow physician coach, Dr. Shideh Shafie. Shideh brings so much wisdom, humor, and honesty to this conversation, and I loved having the chance to explore how she lives with intention across medicine, parenting, work, and personal growth.

Today, we dive into understanding the practice of sovereignty and how it differs from freedom. Sovereignty isn’t about being completely untethered from your life. It’s about choosing, with intention, where you focus your energy and attachments. We discuss how women often lose their sense of sovereignty through cultural conditioning and caregiving, and how reclaiming it doesn’t always require doing less. When you shift to making decisions with more awareness and self-trust, you create more space to become a favorite version of yourself.

Dr. Shideh Shafie is a board-certified emergency physician and high-performance coach who helps leaders and high achievers live and lead without breaking. Through her work, she blends neuroscience, conscious leadership, and behavioral psychology to help people transform the way they experience stress, success, and connection.
