Persistent self-doubt in high performers isn't a confidence problem. It's a protection mechanism — built early, running quietly — designed to prevent one thing: shame exposure.

Stacking wins doesn't fix it because every achievement gets processed by the same architecture producing the doubt. The system doesn't update based on evidence. It updates based on identity.

This episode breaks down why the doubt survives every win, what's actually generating it, and the only move that changes it.
