In this episode, our crew continues the deep dive into confidence in EMS. Building on Part 1, this conversation turns to practical tools and strategies: how to cultivate grounded confidence through mentorship, peer support, and self-reflection. From recognizing early warning signs of overconfidence to reinforcing healthy habits in training and practice, this episode equips medics at every level with ways to strike the right balance.
