Sasha K. Shillcutt, MD, MS, FASE is the best-selling author of Between Grit and Grace: How to be Feminine and Formidable. In her new and empowering book Brave Boundaries: Strategies to Say No, Stand Strong, and Take Control of Your Time (HCI Books, September 6, 2022), Shillcutt describes how she moved from simply surviving to thriving by stepping out of everyone's expectations of her, stepping into her own power, and recreating her life according to her values, priorities, and well-being. She began saying no to others and yes to herself. She began to set boundaries. “When I overcame burnout, found my passion in medicine again, and started to embrace my full and authentic self, I realized this important truth: the ONE change I made was not a career change, a partner change, or some life-gimmick—it was learning to see the cracks in the foundation of my well-being and seal them up with boundaries,” she writes. “The single most powerful weapon we possess to fight against overwhelm, exhaustion, and burnout is not what you think ...The key to living an empowered life is the ability to create and enforce radical, lifesaving boundaries—boundaries no one is teaching us, as women, to set.” As a physician, professor, speaker, and CEO & Founder of the organization Brave Enough, Sasha has taught thousands of women to achieve work-life control through her courses and conferences and speaks frequently to executives and leaders on the topics of professional resilience and gender equity. Family caregivers struggle with boundaries and the result is exhaustion and burnout. This impacts not just our own health, but the people we are caring for. This valuable conversation will save you time and energy, helping you feel empowered to say "no" and not feel guilty as a result.

We discussed how her "Why" did not change, but how she did her "Why" changed and that made all the difference. Setting boundaries has been the key for showing up for herself. We talk about consequences of not setting boundaries and how boundaries at work may differ from boundaries at home. She shows how we all can be empowered to create boundaries for ourselves! Boundaries Wellness Pearls: 1. You can set boundaries! Anyone can. 2. The areas where you don't set boundaries match up to your biggest pain points. 3. A boundary in your head is not a boundary until you speak it! 4. The more successful you are, the more boundaries you need to set.
Show yourself some love and self-care by setting boundaries! I'm joined by Dr. Sasha Shillcutt to talk about how to set boundaries at work, at home, and with ourselves to improve our lives.

Why Setting Boundaries is So Hard I know we talk about the importance of boundaries a lot, but I think this conversation with Dr. Sasha Shillcutt really drives home the point of how setting boundaries is self-care and the biggest form of self-love you can show yourself. When we don't have any boundaries in place, we can feel frazzled, all over the place, stressed, and like we're only giving 3% of ourselves to the people we're helping. It's not healthy! It can be difficult to open conversations about setting boundaries, as well. Not knowing how the other person will respond can lead you on a cycle of what-ifs, but Sasha assures us that having these conversations will change your life for the better. One of the most common complaints Sasha hears from the women she works with is that they don't have any work/life balance. But she says this is actually the easiest boundary to put in place, especially as women physicians! Your colleagues, employees, and patients will understand and appreciate what you put in place. Setting Boundaries with At Home and Yourself The harder boundaries to set are in your home life. Sasha says this is because we love and care about our family and don't want to hurt their feelings. But, believe it or not, while these conversations will be difficult to have, your family will understand and respect the boundaries you ask for. Sasha explains how you can start setting these boundaries. Opening up the conversation and explaining why you need to set these boundaries is so healthy. She says that even your youngest kids will learn your boundaries, even if you need to remind them a few times. The most important boundary, however, is the one you set with yourself. If you don't respect your boundaries, how do you expect anyone else to? Finally, Sasha talks about how to improve your boundaries in four simple steps. What boundary do you feel you need to set the most? How will setting this boundary improve your life? Let me know in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode What it feels like to not have boundaries in place [6:45] What can happen when you open communication about your boundaries [10:30] How to set work/life boundaries [12:30] Why it's harder to set boundaries in your home life [13:00] How to set boundaries with your family [16:00] Why the most important boundary is the one you set with yourself [23:00] Quotes “I got to this very unhealthy place around the start of the pandemic where I felt like I had no control over anything. How did that happen? I'm the woman that preaches about being empowered and I'm the person who is making more money than ever, has more power and leadership roles than ever, and I feel like I have less control in my life. It's because I didn't have boundaries. No one had even talked to me about having boundaries. I had no idea what professional or personal boundaries were despite all of my years of training in medicine or going to leadership conferences.” [4:30] “Most of the pain points in my life almost always come back to not having a boundary, either with a person, myself, work, colleagues, or my relationship. It always comes down to a lack of boundaries that I have not set as a person around whatever that is.” [5:57] “I think the work/life boundary is often easier to fix. It's really hard for your work to not respect your boundaries because you, as a woman physician, are so much more empowered than you believe yourself to be.” [12:30] “A boundary that lives in your brain is not really a boundary because you haven't communicated it.” [20:07] “I'm not telling people to earn less or make less, everyone has to do what matches their priorities. But I do want to encourage you that if you are not living your priorities, you probably are lacking some boundaries.” [25:43] Resources Mentioned Transform with Ali Novitsky: FREE Training Series Buy Between Grit and Grace: The Art of Being Feminine and Formidable Save Your Spot: Brave Enough 2022 CME Conference Find Dr. Sasha Shillcutt Online Follow Dr. Sasha Shillcutt on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative Related Episodes Episode 92: Taking Care of Our Mental Health with Dr. Sylvia Gonzalez Episode 87: When Old Thoughts Resurface Episode 81: Say "Yes" to Yourself

In our final episode of the trilogy with Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, she gives us some really valuable insight into the power of the Enneagram. Ever heard of it before? The Enneagram test consists of 9 different personality types and wings that help you gain more self-awareness. Sasha breaks down briefly what each of the 9 Enneagram types' core values is. This knowledge can help you understand yourself and others more. It's not just a personality test - understanding and applying the deeper values can completely change your life. Sasha does warn against trying to type anyone other than yourself. The test pulls out your deepest thoughts and beliefs, many of which you won't know about someone else, to get to their core values. This is something so personal that only an individual can figure out for themselves. Learn About Your Enneagram Type We talk about our own Enneagram types. I'm a 6w7 and Sasha is an 8w7. Getting into our types really helps me understand myself more. It also helps me understand Sasha on a deeper level. It's fascinating that we both have the same 7 wing but it manifests differently in us. The wings represent what other Enneagram type you're influenced by. Hire Dr. Sasha Shillcutt to teach your team, group, or family to be more productive, more efficient, and have more joy - through the Enneagram! Your group will learn to work through conflict better together because they will gain a deeper understanding of themselves. Find out more about Understanding You: The Brave Enough Enneagram Course.

It's so funny. Once you understand yourself, you also start to understand other people.” [4:53] “Enneagram 8s don't actually care about leading other people as much as leading ourselves and feeling independent. We have this huge fear of being controlled. Our biggest fear is that someone will be in control of us. Once I learned that about myself, I realized it explained so much of the conflict I've had in my life. I don't like being controlled but I don't need or want to control other people.” [10:33] “A 7 is The Entertainer. Their core motivation is to have every day be extraordinary, cool, and unique. Their biggest fear is emotional or physical pain. They will do whatever it takes to have fun and entertain and not have pain. Every day is a new day for a new experience.” [15:50] Resources Mentioned Find out more about Understanding You: The Brave Enough Enneagram Course.

Establishing boundaries is one of the healthiest practices you can do for yourself as a woman. Dr. Sasha Shillcutt joins us for her second episode all about boundaries. Why we set them, how to set them, and how life unfolds once we do. Where to Set Boundaries At Home At Work With Yourself In Your Community With Your Relationships About Dr. Sasha Shillcutt Sasha K. Shillcutt, MD, MS, FASE is a tenured and endowed Professor and the Vice-Chair of Strategy in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC).

Her first book, Between Grit and Grace: How to be Feminine and Formidable, was released in February 2020. Setting Boundaries Societal expectations conditioned women not to have boundaries. The world actually relies on a woman's lack of boundaries to exist. Think about it: childcare, housework, lower wages, and so much more. Dr. Sasha Shillcutt believes that setting boundaries is the first step towards gender equity. But boundaries are not easy to set - and even harder to stick to once we have set them. You need to be firm, especially when you haven't had any boundaries in the past. You might think that the first place you need to set boundaries is at your place of work. But Sasha disagrees; the first place to set your boundaries is at home. Rely on the people who share your home to take their part in the housework and childcare. Enforcing Your Boundaries When you start to establish and uphold your boundaries, you'll notice that other people will assert theirs, as well. Not only is this a healthy practice that might help you learn where you're overstepping, but it also helps to reaffirm and build more trust in your relationships. It's also natural to get angry when someone crosses or doesn't respect your boundary. But, as Sasha points out, you have to ask yourself if they know about your boundary. While some boundaries might seem obvious, and you feel like you don't actually have to say anything about them, that isn't always the case. You can never overstate your boundaries. And if someone keeps pushing past yours when they know them, then that person isn't respecting you! Homework for Women Physicians Do you struggle to say NO or unsubscribe from toxic situations?

Boundaries are the first step of gender equity.” [10:00] “The biggest thing that I tell women is to start with their biggest pain point. All of us have a pain point. It could be a person, a family member, a project at work, or something that we're avoiding like the plague because we don't want to say no to it. It could be anything: part of our job, our community, whatever it is, I guarantee that you lack boundaries around it. Just start there. Just start asking yourself what boundaries be like? What would it look like to have boundaries around this?” [23:32] “Your boundary does not exist unless you speak it into existence.” [26:16] Resources Mentioned How To Create Boundaries Around Social Media and Overcome Backlash Find Out More About the Brave Enough Master Class 5th Annual Brave Enough CME Conference Between Grit and Grace: The Art of Being Feminine and Formidable by Dr. Sasha Shillcutt Find Dr. Sasha Shillcutt Online Follow Dr. Sasha Shillcutt on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative Related Episodes Episode 59: Dr. Tonya Caylor on Thinking Outside The Box Episode 60: Dr. Ashley Sandeen On Finding Herself Again Episode 52: Dr. Stephanie Byerly on Healing the Healers
Sometimes it's necessary to stop what you're doing and figure out the next step. Dr. Sasha Shillcutt calls this process a pause and pivot and she believes it's essential to move forward. What Happens When You Pull Back and Pause Get space to examine your life and figure out what you want Release yourself from what's holding you down and back Experience your emotions Move forward About Dr. Sasha Shillcutt Sasha K. Shillcutt, MD, MS, FASE is a tenured and endowed Professor and the Vice-Chair of Strategy in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC). Sasha is the CEO & Founder of Brave Enough, a well-published researcher in cardiac anesthesiology and gender equity, author, and international speaker. Sasha's greatest passion is empowering and encouraging others to achieve well-being in their professional and personal lives.

Why You Should Pause It can feel so overwhelming when you're stuck in the constant mode of go, combined with people-pleasing. The internet can be a harmful place and Dr. Sasha Shillcutt talks about her experience with running her first Facebook group. Sasha talks about how miserable she was while running her Facebook group. She explains how she was keeping it a positive experience for all the group members, but at a detriment to her own mental health. She knew she had to pause and pivot, but the idea of closing her group scared her. But when Sasha finally did pull back from what she was doing, she realized what a good decision it was. What Happens After a Pause When Sasha took her pause and pivoted, she truly felt free to make better decisions for her life and business. She was no longer tied to something that didn't feel aligned with her values and caused her more stress. It wasn't easy, but Sasha broke free from what held her back. Sasha describes the pause as not being easy - at all - and one of the hardest things she's done, but also one of the most worthwhile. She encourages everyone to pause and pivot when they feel it's necessary. While she was in this space of pause, she also allowed herself to feel her entire range of emotions, including those perceived negative ones she tended to aggressively push aside.

In the Brave Enough Masterclass Brave Balance, you will learn tools to live an empowered life and create a long-lasting work-life balance so you live a life you love. Have you ever taken a pause to pivot your life and move forward in a different direction? I'd love to hear about it if you'd like to share. If you haven't, is this something you feel might benefit this era of your life? Let me know in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode Why pulling back is a good thing [6:00] What a pause can allow you to do [15:15] How to break free from what's holding you down [20:00] What happens emotionally after a pause [21:30] Why it's okay and essential to feel your whole range of emotions [22:00] Quotes “Give ourselves permission, as women, every year of our life, or every minute if you feel like it, to pause and pivot. Pull back to have to move forward. Success isn't linear, it doesn't just move from one axis to another, there's a lot of stops and pauses along the way.”[5:20] “The pause hurts so bad. If you think about your success in life, you probably didn't learn much from it. But if you think about the times in your life that were horrible, you probably learned the most life lessons.” [10:34] “I think it's so easy to get sucked into likes, followers, and people-pleasing. But it's a really dangerous, risky place to be. It's so easy to cross that line and make it be unhealthy.” [25:37] Resources Mentioned Find Out More About the Brave Enough Master Class 5th Annual Brave Enough CME Conference Between Grit and Grace: The Art of Being Feminine and Formidable by Dr. Sasha Shillcutt Find Dr. Sasha Shillcutt Online Follow Dr. Sasha Shillcutt on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative Related Episodes Episode 59: Dr. Tonya Caylor on Thinking Outside The Box Episode 60: Dr. Ashley Sandeen On Finding Herself Again Episode 52: Dr. Stephanie Byerly on Healing the Healers

The concept of identity is a lofty one to wrap our minds around, and we are often encouraged to make sure our identity aligns with who God has called us to be. But how do we do that in real life? It often takes a situation beyond our control, where we feel over our heads, to get us to a point where we realize we have to realign our priorities. It’s there, in that space, that we often find God, and we see clearly what He wants for us. All Elite Wrestling star Brandi Rhodes is the wife of Cody Rhodes and daughter-in-law of the legendary Dusty Rhodes and is a star herself in American Elite Wrestling, talks about how faith and family played a role in forging her into the strong woman she is today.

And I love that because it was a situation, at least back then, where everybody was okay with everybody. We had all kinds of people across the board at that little school. Everyone was accepted, and we learned so much. I think that alone is the reason why I continue to pursue faith today.” - Brandi Rhodes “I remember I just prayed that whole time that I was just warming up around, God, please be my legs. I can't feel them. This is important. I really need You right now. And that was the best I ever skated in my entire life.” - Brandi Rhodes, on prepping for one of her biggest skating competitions as a young adult “I felt like I was failing as a mom. And when I would spend time trying to be the best mom I could be, I felt like I was failing as a physician. I think this is something that happens to a lot of women. I recognized how isolated I was, how I had really drifted away from the person God had called me to be.” - Dr. Sasha Shillcutt “When you bring women together from diverse backgrounds, you recognize that so many of our trials and tribulations are similar, and we may be in different stages of our life or different phases, different states, different countries even. But we often face the same struggles.” - Dr. Sasha Shillcutt “There's times as a doctor that it’s 3:00 in the morning and I'm in the operating room, and I don't know the next thing I should do to help a patient. I don't know the best thing. I'm not sure we're gonna make it out of the operating room. I'm struggling. And I can tell you in those moments, what I lean on is Christ.” - Dr. Sasha Shillcutt “I pray that when I show up, I will affect the people in the room--sometimes that's two people, sometimes that's a thousand people--but that God will just help me bring kindness and clarity wherever I go, because the world is hard right now and there's a lot of anger and anxiety. And I just want to be a person that can bring clarity and kindness.” - Dr. Sasha Shillcutt ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel: Audio Playlist: https://bit.ly/2PrbuwH Video Playlist: https://bit.ly/2PsmEkJ What’s Good?

My guest today, Sasha Shillcutt MD, is a dear friend, coaching client, and hero on the front lines during this global pandemic. Today, it's such an honor to share her story! We spoke a few weeks before the Coronavirus hit the US and Sasha shared her incredible story of how burnout and overcommitment led her to make radical life changes and even start an organization to help others! She talks about how she found herself again, found community and friendships after a season of loneliness, and how she bravely pursues authentic leadership. We also chat about: -Common problems women face in leadership and why most find themselves unhappy the higher they climb. -Why she started her community, Brave Enough. -The power of women sharing their skills and gifts. Favorite quotes: 1. The reality is that most of the time, our life is that in between. We're between grit and grace, and it's a spectrum, and it's okay. 2. I'm a research nerd on gender issues in the workplace. If you look in the psychology literature, there's an interesting phenomenon that as women have become more successful in the workplace, we've actually become less happy in the workplace. 3. Spend time with yourself and unplug. Because what I hear and what I see is that women, when you have 30 minutes, you don't want to be with yourself. You don't want to think in your own head and do a little internal checklist on how you're doing because it's scary. I can tell you that clarity comes, I think for most of us when we spend time alone, and that means unplugging. In this episode, I'm answering this question- Did God create evil if He created everything? Links to great things we discussed: 1. Sasha Shillcutt 2.
