In this episode of The Brave Enough Show, Sasha and Erin Lane discuss: What it is to be “Someone Other Than a Mother”   Mothering as a verb  The pressure on women to become mothers  About the guest:  Erin Lane grew up being told there was no love as strong as a mother's love. As a young Catholic girl growing up in the Midwest, she was given two options for a life well-lived: Mother or Mother Superior. She could marry a man and mother her own children, or she could marry God, so to speak, and mother the world's children. Both were good outcomes for someone else's life. Neither would fit the shape of hers.  “Not birthing children doesn't mean forgoing a family. It means faith in a wider, wilier vision of family,” writes Lane. “I have practiced making meaning beyond motherhood in two life stages now: one as a person intentionally without children and one as a person suddenly raising three through foster-care. Along the way, I've learned that the problem with the mother scripts is not simply that they don't work for some women. The problem is that they're assumed to work for all women, thereby shaming any woman who lives beyond their cloud of certainty.”   Interweaving Lane's story with those of other women—including singles and couples, stepparents and foster parents, the infertile and the ambivalent—Someone Other Than a Mother challenges the social scripts that put moms on an impossible pedestal and shame childless women and nontraditional families for not measuring up.  Episode Links:   Brave Enough 2023 CME Conference Brave Balance 2023 Order Brave Boundaries Boundary Rebel Book Club Follow Brave Enough:   WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | TWITTER | LINKEDIN Join The Table, Brave Enough's community. The ONLY professional membership group that meets both the professional and personal needs of high-achieving women.

In this episode of The Brave Enough Show, Dr. Sasha speaks with the founder of Solo Parent, Robert Beeson, a successful Grammy-award winning music executive who found himself as the sole parent of three young girls. They talk about common misconceptions about single parents, how to support single parents, and the growth that comes in what Robert calls the “solo season”.  You don't want to miss this episode!  About the guest:  Robert Beeson is the founder of Solo Parent, a nonprofit that provides community, support and restoration to thousands of single parents all over the world. Prior to his work with Solo Parent, Robert had a 17-year career as a Grammy Award winning music executive, overseeing the signing and/or development of artists like Jars of Clay, Third Day, Michael W Smith, Casting Crowns and many others.   In 2006, at the height of his career, Robert's life changed dramatically when his wife left and he found himself raising his three young daughters on his own. Crushed and broken, Robert went searching for support and help for single parents. Unfortunately he came up short and found that there just weren't resources. He felt so alone. During his Solo season, as he calls it, Robert found that his brokenness led him to one of the greatest gifts of his life - a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God. Over time, his wounds healed, he came out of the fog, and found that his life had been transformed by God's grace and love.  Although this wasn't the path he would have chosen, it altered his course and reframed his understanding of every aspect of life. Realizing that more than a third of American households are run by single parents, Robert saw a huge need and wanted to share what he learned with others that had experienced similar pain.   In 2017, Robert started Solo Parent —launching the movement to help single parents and their families thrive. Today, the organization provides in-person and online groups 7 days a week with participants from around the world, a weekly podcast with more than 350,000 downloads, the Solo Parent app where thousands of single parents connect, daily meditations, e-books and other online resources, and so much more.   The results have been overwhelming - lives and families are being transformed. But there is still much to do. Even though Solo Parent has served more than 189,000 single parent families, that's still only one-percent of single parents in America. And so, Robert's mission continues—helping single parents find hope, healing and purpose.  Episode Links:   Brave Enough 2023 CME Conference Brave Balance 2023 Order Brave Boundaries Follow Brave Enough:   WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | TWITTER | LINKEDIN Join The Table, Brave Enough's community. The ONLY professional membership group that meets both the professional and personal needs of high-achieving women.

Guest Bio: Dr. Olga Lemberg is a board certified pediatrician based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Fabled is a small, independently-owned business that has grown organically through word of mouth and now ships to over 6 countries.   Quotes:   “I believed in a few fundamentals in the beginning that have continued to help me: one, that I could trust my sense of style and two, I trusted I could be hella resourceful.” Dr. Olga Lemberg “Doubting things as an entrepreneur never goes away, you just learn to navigate it.” Dr Olga Lemberg Episode Links: Brave Enough 2023 CME Conference RISE: Mastermind The Brave Enough Retreat for Women Physicians Follow Brave Enough:   WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | TWITTER | LINKEDIN Join The Table, Brave Enough's community. The ONLY professional membership group that meets both the professional and personal needs of high-achieving women.

In this episode of The Brave Enough Show, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt and Nicole Trick Steinbach discuss:  The importance of clarity in becoming brave  Knowing what you DON'T want just as much as what you DO want  How collecting “data” of past decisions makes you braver  Embracing the freedom that comes with failure  Nicole Trick Steinbach is the Founder of Trick Steinbach LLC, the host of the Celebrate Brave podcast, and an International Bravery Coach. She helps women build their bravery and shows them how to stress and work less. After spending nearly 20 years working in tech, Nicole had become a Global Senior Director. She spent 13 years living in Germany, traveling the world, and leading global teams across all functional areas in over 25 different countries. In 2008, even with all of her success, Nicole realized that she felt exhausted, unhappy, and alone. Through coaching, Nicole discovered how her relentless pursuit of an ever-changing definition of “success” was pushing away her support network, deflating her confidence, and driving her to burnout. Over the next ten years, Nicole was able to build her own unique, gorgeous, wonderfully fulfilling life, full of connection and appreciation, rest and joy, safety and wealth. The key was realizing that bravery is a skill that she could intentionally develop and practice. Now she teaches women all over the world to build their own brave. Nicole's framework of clarity, momentum, and accountability helps her clients set goals and establish the mindset they need to sustain their success. Nicole coaches women to view all of their successes, mistakes, and even failures as equal stepping stones to building their brave life and career. When Nicole isn't serving her clients you can find her reading a new book, enjoying the outdoors with her two kiddos, and learning with others on her own podcast.    Quote: “Bravery is a skill anyone can build.” - Nichole Trick Steinbach  Episode Links:  BE24 Conference Coaching with Sasha BE24 Conference   Season 13 Sponsor - Freed AI Freed is an AI scribe that listens, transcribes, and writes medical documentation for you.
