What if the biggest obstacle to your trading success isn’t the market-but your own ego? In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden ways ego shapes your trading decisions, from the need to be right to tying your self-worth to every win or loss. Discover why these patterns are so persistent, how to spot them in real time, and-most importantly-the practical steps you can take to break free.

You’ll learn why redefining success as plan adherence (not just profits) is the ultimate mindset shift, and how tools like journaling, mindfulness, and radical acceptance can help you trade with more clarity and confidence. Whether you’re struggling with hesitation, overtrading, or emotional swings, you’ll leave this episode with a clear, actionable checklist to keep your ego in check and your trading on track.

Tune in if you’re ready to move beyond self-sabotage and become the disciplined, resilient trader you know you can be.
