In this episode of The Brave Enough Show, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt discusses:  The specific loneliness of recovery — the silence on the other side of getting well, when you've become yourself, and nobody around you quite speaks your language yet.  That loneliness was the foundation of Brave Enough — not as a business decision, but as a response to a feeling.   The story of the first conference — what she hoped for, what she was afraid of, and what actually happened in that room of women physicians.  The identity formation, the years of training, the permission structures, the specific way medicine asks women to disappear into the role.  What BE became, the scale of the proof     Brave Enough 2026 CME Conference For ten years, women have gathered at the Brave Enough Conference to step away from the demands of medicine and into a space of renewal.

In this episode of The Brave Enough Show, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt discusses:  The unedited, unpolished version of what burnout looked like for me  The overfunctioning pattern of what it actually feels like to be boundary-less, saying yes to everything  The biggest promise I made to myself, and how it changed everything.  How I got well, kept my promise, found health and joy — then discovered something no one had warned me about.   "The version of me that had dreams and desires and knew what she wanted had quietly left the building while I was busy meeting the expectations of everyone around me. I didn't have the words for it then. I just knew that I looked fine. I looked successful. And I did not recognize myself." - Dr. Sasha Shillcutt   Brave Enough 2026 CME Conference For ten years, women have gathered at the Brave Enough Conference to step away from the demands of medicine and into a space of renewal.

What happens when one of the country's sharpest mathematical minds decides that being brilliant isn't enough, that the real work is holding power accountable?In this episode of B the Way Forward, host Brenda Darden Wilkerson sits down with Cathy O'Neil, mathematician, data scientist, founder of the algorithmic auditing firm ORCAA, and author of the landmark book Weapons of Math Destruction, which exposed how opaque algorithms amplify inequality across hiring, credit, criminal justice, and beyond.Cathy's path has been anything but linear: from PhD mathematician to Wall Street quant to Occupy Wall Street activist to public critic of the very systems she once helped build. She has spent the decade since her book's publication doing the unglamorous, legally constrained, financially risky work of algorithmic auditing, turning down lucrative clients whose ethics didn't pass the "can I tell my kids about this?" test, and founding a new nonprofit, Ocean, focused on AI child safety.Brenda and Cathy unpack what it actually costs to follow your conscience in tech, why urgency is a deliberate ethical bypass strategy, why AI is not a math problem, and why the window for federal AI regulation is coming faster than most people think. This is a conversation about accountability, clarity, and what it really means to channel something bigger than yourself.Connect with Cathy on http://mathbabe.org/contactWe Learned About:Why "big data" and "AI" are marketing terms engineered to evoke trust rather than describe something objective, and why that matters for how we regulate themWhat it felt like from the inside to work as a Wall Street quant building models that front-ran California teachers' pension funds, and why Cathy's body gave out before her brain caught upHow Occupy Wall Street taught a pure mathematician that race, sex, and class were not distractions from the financial crisis but the actual storyWhy the lack of accountability, not the technology itself, is the core problem with algorithmic systems deciding who gets a job, a loan, or a prison sentenceHow urgency is used as a deliberate strategy by the tech industry to bypass ethical reflection, and Cathy's triage framework for responding to it anywayChapters:0:00 Introduction & Season Theme1:00 Meet Cathy O'Neil, Author of Weapons of Math Destruction2:00 What "Big Data" and "AI" Actually Mean: Marketing, Hype, and Misplaced Trust4:00 The Lack of Accountability That Drove Cathy to Write Her Book5:30 Starting ORCAA: Trying to Make Algorithms Comply With Anti-Discrimination Law7:00 From Naive Quant to Activist: The Financial Crisis That Changed Everything8:30 What Occupy Wall Street Taught a Mathematician About Race, Class, and Power11:00 When Cathy's Body Knew Before Her Brain Did: Leaving Finance13:00 Front-Running Teachers' Pensions and the Moment It Became Real15:00 Practices and Boundaries That Keep Cathy Grounded Now16:00 The "Can I Tell My Kids About This?"

Along with two other students, ⁠Maeve Halligan ⁠founded the Cambridge Univers⁠ity So⁠ciety of Women, an association for female students at the university, “providing a place for free speech, discussion, and association among women.” You would think such a thing wouldn't be controversial in these modern times, but of course it was, because these young women don't believe that men are women.

Every AI tool you use was built to keep you happy, not to make you right. That's a problem when "happy" is also the fastest route to content nobody remembers.Sonja Silveira has run content teams at Meta, athenahealth, and now Cisco, and she's done with the idea that AI is either a job-killer or a magic answer box. Her real argument: these tools are optimized for engagement, not accuracy, which means the marketers using them need more suspicion, not less. She also names the thing most B2B brands won't say out loud — they all sound the same now, AI just sped up the slide into sameness, and the fix has nothing to do with the tools.We also cover:Why treating AI like "an answer machine" is the fastest way to lose your edge — and what to check before you trust a single stat it gives youThe real reason beigefication isn't new, why it's "safe," and why safe is exactly what's killing your contentWhy almost every B2B brand that tries to become a media company hits the same wall — and what Cisco's Story Lab is doing differently

I hope everyone had a great FATHER DAY break!! I sure did'Now it's time to get back to it!The MAC Effect just finished cooking a great episode for you.  We welcome Fabio Iqbal to the podcast! It was a great honor, a great conversation and so much knowledge in just an hour of conversation. Fabio gets personal, vulnerable and raw! Why?? Because the power in vulnerability is way stronger than the weakness of pretending that everything is FINE!  He shares his upbringing; the importance of having a mom in his life.The factor of missing his dad, but how God brought them together never the less thru the Holy Spirit.To coming to the states and quickly getting married with no process, no true mentor, no one really teaching him, trying to figure life out on his own.Quickly realizing… men must CONNECT, women must CONNECT, we where built for community and the right community.Hope you guys enjoy the convo just as much as I did, blessings!Please feel free to reach out and ask any questions for myself or guest, comment, email or reach out directly.My email is Themaceffect19@gmail.com for all questions and inquiries.Remember; You are not alone; We share together, walk together and heal together'As each season passes us; we remain humbled and appreciative for all the love and support.

In this episode of The Brave Enough Show, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt discusses: Why women hate uncertainty  The nervous system during transition  How to stop rushing clarity  Anchoring yourself when there are no answers  "There is a period of time, a few minutes, where you have intubated an hypoxic patient, and the sats are still low. Everyone around you is second-guessing you, because the pulse ox sound is still ominous. But you know the tube is in the trachea…you watched it go in. The worst thing you can do is doubt yourself and pull the tube out. You must remain, even if everyone around you doubts. This is like a transition, and the waiting period. Don't doubt; remain." -Dr. Sasha Shillcutt    Brave Enough 2026 CME Conference For ten years, women have gathered at the Brave Enough Conference to step away from the demands of medicine and into a space of renewal.

Are you dressing for yourself or for an invisible audience that never stops grading your outfit? We're pulling on that thread and getting honest about the bravery it takes to look in the mirror and trust your own taste without running to a rule book, a seasonal color chart, or a “safe” capsule wardrobe formula.  But that safety comes with a cost. When we rely on checklists, we stop listening for the internal yes that shows up when something truly feels like us, and our wardrobe starts to act like a uniform. I share how personal style becomes effortless when you stop performing and start choosing, one small decision at a time.  If you're in your late 40s, 50s, or beyond and ready for style reinvention that actually fits your lifestyle and personal brand, this is your reminder that it's a marathon, not a sprint. THE SIGNATURE EDIT NEWSLETTER http://the-executive-edge.kit.com/560a58e519THE FOUNDATION EDIT: http://www.theeverydayicon.co/the-foundation-editWEBSITE:www.theeverydayicon.coYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/@tiffanyodeanINSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/styledbytiffanyo/

Vanilla Ice just dropped truth bombs on the radical Left — music has NO political rules, and he is refusing to bow to woke pressure! The 1990s icon is standing tall, defending his decision to perform at the Great American State Fair's Freedom 250 celebration while other artists are running scared because it's tied to President Trump. Vanilla Ice isn't backing down. He even said he would perform for Biden or anyone else — because real Americans are tired of the constant division. This is what patriotism and common sense look like. While Hollywood elites try to politicize everything and cancel anyone who doesn't toe the leftist line, Vanilla Ice is bringing back the '90s vibes, good times, and unity through music at America's 250th birthday bash on the National Mall. We also cover: Trump gives Fox News a ballroom tour. Robot dogs will patrol DFW.  Graham Platner's wife is upset at the media. James Talarico takes the lead in Texas? Joe Biden DIDN'T have a health decline. If you love real talk, American pride, and stars who refuse to bend the knee to woke nonsense, this one's for you.

Alan sits down with Broadway producer Brian Anthony Moreland for a candid, high-energy conversation about the realities of commercial theatre. Brian shares the fascinating story of how he caught the theatre bug playing Santa Claus in the third grade , his formative years at a performing arts boarding school , and his early career as a non-union dancer dealing with the exhausting audition grind in New York City. He opens up about the pivotal moment he decided to pivot to producing, starting with a grueling five-and-a-half-year journey to bring Thoughts of a Colored Man to Broadway. Alan and Brian pull back the curtain on the industry's economic pressures, debating Broadway financials, escalating production costs, and what it truly takes to balance commercial viability with meaningful, artistic storytelling. The conversation centers deeply on Brian's extraordinary relationship with the work of August Wilson. He recalls the serendipitous train ride to Pittsburgh that led to him producing the record-breaking revival of The Piano Lesson , and how Denzel Washington personally asked him to lead-produce his next Wilson project. Brian breaks down the profound themes of identity, healing, and family preservation driving his latest production at the Barrymore Theatre, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, sharing delightful insights into working with legendary director Debbie Allen and the joyful, nurturing energy that stars Taraji P. Henson and Cedric the Entertainer bring to the rehearsal room. Finally, Brian takes on the 60-second plot challenge, pitches a classic musical, and reflects on the timeless power of theatre as a space where you can be anything. Brian Anthony Moreland is a transformative Broadway producer dedicated to shaping the contemporary cultural landscape through visionary, inclusive storytelling. Originally from California, he began his career as a performer before transitioning into producing. His impressive Broadway repertoire includes the ground-breaking global hit Othello starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, the record-breaking revival of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson, The Wiz, The Lifespan of a Fact, Sea Wall / A Life, and The Sound Inside. A respected industry leader, Moreland serves on the Board of Governors of The Broadway League, where he co-chairs the Multicultural Task Force. He also holds leadership roles as a Trustee for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, a Trustee of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, a Board Director for NYC Tourism and Conventions, and is an active member of the Theatre Development Fund (TDF).

Have you ever been absolutely sure you'd hold up under pressure — until you didn't? That's Peter's story in Mark chapter 14, and honestly? It's most of our stories, too. Peter is one of Jesus's closest friends. He's bold, he's passionate, he's all in. And when Jesus tells him that before the rooster crows twice, Peter will deny knowing Him three times — Peter can't even accept it. Even if everyone else falls away, I won't. He means every word. And by the end of that same night, he's standing by a fire, cursing and swearing that he has never met this man. Here's what I don't want us to miss: this isn't a story about Peter being uniquely weak or uniquely bad. This is a story about what fear does to all of us, faster than we expect. Fear reshapes our behavior before we even realize it's happening. We also spend time in the Garden of Gethsemane, where we get one of the most raw and human moments in the entire Gospel. Jesus — fully God and fully man — is on His knees asking His Father if there is any other way. He's not performing. He's not distant. He is agonizing. And while He's drawing on the strength of His Father through prayer, His disciples are... asleep. Again and again. And that difference — Jesus prepared through prayer, the disciples unprepared through sleep — that's the whole point. Because here's the thing about being spiritually alert: you don't build it in the moment of crisis. You don't decide to run a marathon the day of the race. The courage to follow Jesus under pressure is built in the quiet, daily, unsexy work of being in His word, staying in prayer, and paying attention to what God is doing around you. If your spiritual life feels like an insurance policy you're just keeping current — I want to gently say, you are missing out on so much of what Jesus actually came to offer. So this week I'm asking you to sit with one question: Is there any place in your life where you're following Jesus at a distance? Because that's where the gap is. And that's exactly where Jesus wants to meet you. Want More? Read along: Mark 14:27–72 Psalm connection: Psalm 56:3 — "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you" One-sentence prayer for the week: "God, help me bring my fears honestly to you instead of pretending I'm stronger than I really am."

My apologies. I get emotional I get fired up and I get very raw. This is Shavuot like you have never heard, because we are living with anti semitism like we have never heard. Its time we fight fire with Torah fire! Also Reb Aron Kutler makes a deal with Joe Bananas the Mobster, Enjoy and Chag Sameach. 

What would it look like to give your very best to Jesus — not what's left over, not what's convenient, but your actual best? That's the question sitting at the center of Mark chapter 14, and it comes to life through one of the most striking contrasts in all of the Gospels. In the same passage, on what feels like the same night, we have a woman who breaks open an entire year's worth of perfume and pours it over Jesus's head — and a disciple who slips away from the table to sell Him out for money. Devotion and betrayal, side by side. Mark puts them there on purpose, and I think we're meant to feel the discomfort of that. Here's what gets me about the woman: nobody defends her. The people at the table — including the disciples — moralize about what a waste it is, what the money could have done for the poor. And Jesus steps in and says, leave her alone. She did what she could. I want us to just sit with that for a second. She did what she could. Not what was expected. Not what made sense to everyone else. What she could. And Jesus says that every time the gospel is preached, people will remember what she did — which is remarkable when you consider that women in that culture had no vote, no voice, and no property rights. And then there's Judas — the one holding the money bag, the one moralizing about how the perfume should have been given to the poor — who is at that very moment plotting to hand Jesus over for cash. The irony is impossible to miss. You can be religious and still be completely missing it. You can be physically close to Jesus and have a heart that's miles away. We also spend time in the upper room, where Jesus takes the Passover meal — one of the most sacred remembrances in all of Judaism — and completely redefines it. The bread is His body. The wine is His blood. He is the Passover lamb. The freedom from bondage that God's people had been celebrating for centuries? Jesus is saying that's me. That's what I'm about to do. And this table, He says, is for everyone — the devoted and the broken and even the betrayer. So here's the question I'm leaving with all of us today: what would costly devotion actually look like in your life right now? Not in theory — in practice. Is it your time? Your forgiveness? A relationship you've been holding at arm's length from God? What would it look like to bring your whole heart? Want More?

This week, Thomas sits down with speaker and renowned author of “Wild,” Cheryl Strayed, for a conversation on the profound healing power of writing and creating, the catharsis of truth-telling, and the importance of physical embodiment in trauma recovery.Cheryl shares how grief and trauma left her feeling isolated, and describes her difficult but meaningful journey to healing through community connection.

In this episode of The Brave Enough Show, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt and Dr. Erica Howe discuss:  How successful women get so isolated  How to come back after a failed friendship  How communities of strangers can be the place to find your true connection "When I am struggling, my default is to withdraw. But it is only when I reach out and am vulnerable with my friends that true healing can begin." - Dr. Erica Howe  Dr. Howe is a board-certified Hospitalist and a nationally known educator, wife, and mother to three crazy kids.  As a prolific speaker and lifelong advocate for improved wellness in medicine, she has given hundreds of talks both nationally and internationally on topics like conflict management and boundary setting.  In 2018, she founded the Women Physicians Wellness Conference in Aruba, Grand Cayman, and Amelia Island exclusively for women physicians.  Then, in 2024, she founded the Women Professionals Wellness Conference –a 3-day event in the Bahamas each January--as a way to bring women from various demanding professions together to share their struggles and their strategies for success. She believes that women are stronger together and wants to inspire them to find the courage, clarity, and community to succeed on their own terms, instead of someone else's.  www.womenphysicianswellness.com  www.womenprofessionalswellness.com   https://www.facebook.com/groups/WPWconference  https://www.instagram.com/wpwconference/    The Boundaries Blueprint, my new, short, on-demand course, is designed to be your toolkit for making small changes that add up to a big reset.

In today's episode, Ryan shares a rare behind-the-scenes moment when his kids start to realize what he actually does, and then his son takes the mic to ask the questions. You'll hear him interview Kenny Curtis, host of Nat Geo's hit kids podcast Greeking Out, in a genuinely fun, curious, and unexpectedly thoughtful conversation, and later Ron Chernow, the historian behind Hamilton.

At some point, you realize courage isn't something you are born with, it's something you build. In this episode, Ryan sits down with bestselling author Cheryl Strayed (Tiny Beautiful Things, Wild) to talk about what it really means to be brave. They discuss how fear and courage always show up together, why you can't wait to “feel ready,” and the difference between saying you'll change and actually doing it. Cheryl shares what hiking alone on the Pacific Crest Trail taught her about courage, loss, and starting over. Cheryl Strayed is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, which was made into an Oscar-nominated film. Her bestselling collection of Dear Sugar columns, Tiny Beautiful Things, was adapted for a Hulu television show and as a play that continues to be staged in theaters nationwide. Strayed's other books are the critically acclaimed novel, Torch, and the bestselling collection Brave Enough, which brings together more than one hundred of her inspiring quotes. Her books have sold more than 5 million copies around the world and have been translated into forty languagesYou can grab copies of Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed at The Painted Porch: https://www.thepaintedporch.com/Follow Cheryl Strayed on Instagram @CherylStrayed and check out more of her work at her website CherylStrayed.com
