The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
When we hide our rejections, we become small. When we talk about them, the rejections become small. Today's special guest is Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, a trailblazer in both medicine and women's empowerment. Dr. Shillcutt is a cardiac anesthesiologist at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and the founder and CEO of Brave Enough, a community dedicated to empowering women. Along with being a researcher, speaker, author, wife, and mom of four, Dr. Shillcutt is an advocate for gender equity and making space for women in leadership roles. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who's faced rejection and wants to turn it into an opportunity for growth and redirection. Being rejected can propel you forward, if you choose to step out of shame, and instead learn to stand tall, embrace your journey, and keep moving forward with optimism. If you want to live a big and meaningful life, you will experience a lot of rejection. Rejection happens when you put yourself out there. When you stand out, you get cut down more often. When you get cut down as “Tall Poppy”, you can grow back taller and stronger, but it takes self-compassion, mindfulness, patience, and support. Rejection doesn't usually reflect our abilities or our work; we can be the best, and still face setbacks, not get a role, or have a marriage fail. Rejection is often not about you. It is also about fit, timing, and other people. It often means: "Not Yet, Not Here, or Not Now.” It can be a signal to course-correct and move toward something that aligns better with your true purpose. When we can learn to embrace rejection with curiosity, rather than internalizing it as a judgment of our worth, it can become a catalyst for growth and a life well-lived. High-achieving women often face criticism, resentment, and rejection. The more accomplished you are, the more likely you will be to face aggression and/or rejection, from those in positions of seniority and/or from your peers. If you want a kind and supportive community to help you navigate the world as a Tall Poppy, join Ongoing Presence Small Group Coaching. You can join the spring 2025 cohort until February 25th. Pause & Presence Retreats are also a beautiful nourishing space to turn your past rejections into growth experiences. You will acquire all the tools you need to turn them into catalytic events and launching points for a more aligned, meaningful, and joy-filled life. Join Jessie and Sasha at the Brave Enough Conference in September. Jessie will be leading a mentorship group, offering coaching, and teaching yoga and mindfulness.

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls' Night! Today, we're revisiting a conversation I had with my friend, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, on setting boundaries. If you've been a Girls Night listener for a while now, this isn't the first time you're hearing me talk about boundaries. And it's because this has been a HUGE lesson for me. I am historically bad at knowing what I want and what I need — at drawing lines and saying no. And for the longest time, I was okay with that. (Maybe even a little bit proud of it?) I like being helpful. I like being needed. I like feeling useful, capable, and strong. For years I thought that this was the best way to love the people I love: To always put their needs above my needs, to say yes to everything, to give but never take, and to have everything that's mine be theirs without limit — whether it was my stuff, my space, my time, or my energy. This is what I thought would lead to the healthiest, closest relationships. But over the last few years I've learned that the opposite is true. Boundaries are an absolutely essential part of healthy relationships. They're an essential part of a healthy life, of a healthy US. And that's what we're talking about here today. Our guest, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, is a renowned cardiac anesthesiologist, professor, bestselling author and CEO and Founder of Brave Enough. Sasha is also a wife and a mother who has walked through seasons of loneliness, anxiety, and complete burnout. Needless to say, she has had to learn about boundaries the HARD way. She wrote a book called, Brave Boundaries: Strategies to Say No, Stand Strong and Take Control of Your Time where she helps us find the courage to implement boundaries in our own life. Here are just a few of the things she's going to teach us in this episode: How to take a personal boundary inventory and identify what boundaries we need Why saying no to others and yes to ourselves isn't selfish and can actually help us be a better version of ourselves (and love our people better!) How to kindly respond to someone if we receive backlash for the boundary we've set And so much more! One of my favorite things that Sasha says in the episode was, "The world will set your boundaries if you don't set them for yourself” and that couldn't be more true. Friends, if you're feeling anxious, burned out, or overwhelmed in life right now, this episode is for you! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Continuing our series, “Your Work Matters”, today we are talking about boundaries at work, balance, and avoiding common pitfalls as women with our work. I'm with my good friend and client, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt. Sasha is a physician, gender equity researcher, speaker, author, wife, mom of four amazing kids, and Founder and CEO of Brave Enough. Sasha's book, Brave Boundaries teaches us strategies for saying no, standing strong, and taking control of our time. Join Sasha and I as we talk about: (04:12) What women get wrong about boundaries (05:04) Being afraid to have boundaries, especially in the workplace (06:14) Boundary backlash (09:03) Feeling confident in responses to extra work (13:46) Importance and impact of women in the workplace (16:12) Common types of self-sabotage (17:58) Moving forward from the fear of failure Favorite quotes: (04:29) “Boundaries are more about keeping the good in than they are about keeping the bad out.” (04:46) “The more we love people in our lives, want to serve people in our lives, and the more we want to show up as fully ourselves, the more boundaries we need.” (06:47) )“I always remind myself I want to be a person who shows up and does the good work on my job description. If it's not on your job description, you aren't required to do it. Or if it's more than your job description, it's an opportunity for you to see if you want to do it or not. Then the boundaries, really, and the power lies within you because I always say, ‘You would much rather be a woman who's respected than a woman who's liked.'” (17:54) “...We often self-sabotage because we are so afraid of failing at things, things being hard, not getting it right, and making mistakes that we just take ourselves out of the game.” Coaching this week: (37:02) In our Coaching this week, we talk about delegation. Delegation helps us stay focused on the work that only we can do - our zone of genius. Most people are terrible at delegating. Listen as I share three non-obvious tips for mastering delegation. ( 38:29) 1 - Embrace the art of ‘good enough'. (39:40) 2 - Play to people's strengths - not just what you want to get rid of. (40:58) 3 - Communication and trust are key. Recommendation (43:23) My recommendation for the week is a light therapy light. It's a tiny change that will give you a big result in your life.

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.

In this episode of "The Elegant Warrior," we have a special guest, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, an accomplished physician, author, and advocate for women's empowerment. Sasha is the founder and CEO of Brave Enough, a platform dedicated to helping women set boundaries, say no, and take control of their time. In her book, "Brave Boundaries," she shares valuable insights and strategies for establishing boundaries to lead a more fulfilled and balanced life. Key Takeaways: The Struggle with Setting Boundaries: Dr. Sasha Shillcutt discusses the societal expectations that often make it challenging for women to set boundaries for themselves. Women are often seen as caregivers and helpers, making it difficult to prioritize self-care. This tendency can lead to boundary backlash and challenges when trying to set personal boundaries. Persuading Yourself to Set Boundaries: To overcome the difficulty of setting boundaries, Dr. Shillcutt advises persuading oneself by telling a new story. She encourages women to identify false beliefs about boundaries and replace them with the understanding that boundaries are essential for wellness and self-care. By persuading ourselves, we can enforce boundaries confidently. Identifying Boundary Categories: In her book, Dr. Shillcutt outlines different boundary categories, such as professional life, personal life, family, social media, and more. By identifying and understanding these categories, women can take the first step toward establishing meaningful boundaries in their lives. Approachable vs. Accessible: Dr. Shillcutt highlights the distinction between being approachable and being accessible. Being constantly accessible can lead to burnout and disengagement. Setting boundaries allows women to control when and how they engage with others, ensuring they can give their best to every aspect of their lives. The Power of Compartmentalization: Compartmentalization can be a powerful tool for creating balance and productivity. Dr. Shillcutt shares how she compartmentalizes different aspects of her life, like work and family, allowing her to focus on one area at a time and be more present in each role. Boundaries are essential for well-being and empowerment. Dr. Sasha Shillcutt's book, "Brave Boundaries," offers valuable insights and strategies for setting boundaries that lead to a more balanced and fulfilled life. By persuading ourselves of the value of boundaries, identifying our priorities, and learning to compartmentalize, we can create a life that aligns with our mission and purpose. To learn more about Dr. Sasha Shillcutt and her work, visit her website at becomebraveenough.com. Don't forget to check out her book, "Brave Boundaries," for practical tips and inspiration to create a life with healthier boundaries. Remember, elegance is a choice, and setting boundaries is a powerful step towards living an elegant life. Embrace your power, say no when necessary, and stand strong in setting your boundaries for a more fulfilled and empowered life.

After years of stress and burnout, award-winning physician Dr. Sasha Shillcutt shares how a dedication to saying “no” revolutionized her life and put more joy in her days. Quotes “Many women struggle to set boundaries because they feel guilty, and they feel like they're going to be letting someone down. They would rather overextend themselves and live in constant burnout, which is unhealthy, so that they never have the feeling of guilt.” - Dr. Sasha Shillcutt “I prayed and I asked God to help me. I said, ‘I don't know how I've gotten to this place where I feel so alone, and it's such a dark place. I am not living at all the life that I thought I was going to be living.' And that very moment was a pretty pivotal moment.” - Dr. Sasha Shillcutt “I think I was so afraid of disappointing my family and work colleagues by saying no to things. But the truth of the matter is that I was actually able to show up more fully for the things that I said yes to when I started saying no routinely to more things.” - Dr. Sasha Shillcutt “Jesus walked the earth as a human, and He set boundaries. So I need to do that too.” - Dr. Sasha Shillcutt Guest's LinksDr. Shillcutt's website Dr. Shillcutt's Facebook Dr. Shillcutt's Instagram Dr. Shillcutt's Twitter Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeBrave Boundaries by Dr. Sasha Shillcutt Connect with Sally Lloyd-JonesJesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*
After saying yes every day, to every ask, to every need, to every responsibility, and to everyone, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt reached her breaking point. Externally, she was successful: An anesthesiologist. Wife. Mother. Tenured professor. Sister. Friend - the “yes woman” to anything and everything.

We all often struggle to ask for help. It's common to think that if we can't ask for help, it's a sign of weakness. But asking for help isn't a weakness. It's a strength. In this episode, I'm discussing what happens when we become aware that we need help and then ask for help. How to Ask for Help Admit that you need help Be vulnerable enough to ask someone for help Accept the kindness offered Get Vulnerable and Ask for Help It's difficult to ask for help. Putting yourself out there, admitting what you feel are weaknesses, and asking for help is such a vulnerable thing to do. But there is actually so much power in admitting you need a helping hand. If you're not sure where you might need to ask for help, I will encourage you to look for those areas of your life that feel a bit sticky. That feels difficult to you. On a day-to-day basis, where are the specific areas you can ask for a little bit more help? These are the areas where you could reach out and ask for help. Asking for help is not comfortable. But you have to ask yourself if you want to keep going the way you are, or whether you want to put the work in and change it. This often means asking for help. What Happens When You Ask for Help When you ask someone else for help, you're not only helping yourself. You're helping show other people that it's okay to be vulnerable. That it's okay to open up and ask for help. In a way, it's giving the other person permission to be vulnerable. Asking someone for help lets them know that they can ask you for help if they need it. Finally, I talk about how setting boundaries and saying how you would like others to treat you is also a way to ask for help. Ask people to treat you how you prefer to be treated. What feels uncomfortable when you ask for help? What's stopping you from doing it? If you are able to do it, how would your life be different? Let me know in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode Why so many people have difficulty asking for help [1:45] The importance of identifying what areas you need to ask for help [8:30] How asking for help helps other people, too [12:30] What happens when you ask for help [23:30] Why you need to decide how you will allow people to treat you [25:00] Quotes “What's the fear of asking for help? The fear of asking for help is admitting that you can't do it all and then putting yourself out there. You have to be vulnerable to ask for help.” [5:35] “When you're asking for help, you're actually helping somebody, too.” [12:42] “Asking for help and having the vulnerability to say, ‘hey listen, we want this to go differently. We need help.' It's amazing. It's not comfortable. It's not comfortable evaluating what we're constantly doing and putting our ego aside to say, ‘this isn't working. How can we come together?' It is not comfortable because we have to put it out there and say, ‘something's off here. Do we want to keep going on this way, or do we want to put the work in and change it?” [19:04] “If we can think about help less about ‘I can't do this on my own' and instead, ‘wow, look at the opportunity that I have to better myself more so I can create more connection, adventure, freedom, and peace, all those things that I want in my life. I'm taking advantage of it.'” [21:53] “As we are discovering how we want to be treated, we need to ask for help in discovering that.” [26:51] Resources Mentioned 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 63: Understanding The Enneagram with Dr. Sasha Shillcutt Episode 96: Dr. Shillcutt on Discovering Self-Love Through Boundaries Episode 125: Brave Boundaries with Dr. Sasha Shillcutt
When someone asks you for help, what do you say? For many, the answer is typically “yes” - especially for women! And many of us have an “if not me, then who?” mindset - especially high-capacity leader types. Reality is that when we consistently say yes and prioritize the needs of others, we often find ourselves exhausted, overcommitted, and empty. Anyone? Today, we are talking about much-needed boundaries. Ironically, it's a misunderstood concept. Dr. Sasha Shillcutt is with us today to offer her insight. Dr. Shillcutt is a renowned cardiac anesthesiologist, professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, bestselling author, and CEO/Founder of Brave Enough. Sasha's TEDx talk titled Resilience: The Art of Failing Forward has been viewed by more than 50K. Her writing has been published in both the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA. She's the author of the new book, Brave Boundaries: Strategies to Say No, Stand Strong and Take Control of Your Time (HCI Books, September 6) and host of The Brave Enough Show podcast. Sasha is also a Christian, wife, and mother, who has walked through seasons of loneliness, anxiety, and complete burnout. She has written this book, Brave Boundaries, out of a tender place in her heart for the woman who has found herself in a similar place.

Simply Worth It: Physician Negotiations with Dr. Linda Street
Boundaries are associated with protecting ourselves from negativity, and even great things can become toxic without boundaries. Many of us love our jobs, but because we have so much on our plates, we're always one stressful moment away from completely falling apart. In healthcare, it feels like we're caught between accepting burnout as part of the job and quitting entirely. So is there a happier medium? How do we overcome this internal tug-of-war between what's healthy for us and what burns us out?

She shares how to set boundaries so we stop over-functioning and stretching ourselves too thin. Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode - Where our over-functioning stems from Could our struggle with boundaries have little to do with ego or an over-identification with our careers? - The first boundary we have to set at work One major cause of burnout and stress is responsibilities that aren't even part of our job description. How do we protect ourselves from this pain point? - Why our boundaries allow us to protect what's good The hardest boundaries to set are with the people we care about most. How do we have those hard conversations?

In this episode, I interview Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, and we dive into how to set boundaries and WHY they are so important. In Dr. Sasha's new book, Brave Boundaries, she discusses how saying YES to every ask, to every need, to every responsibility, and to everyone, caused her to reach her breaking point. Externally, she was successful: An anesthesiologist. Wife. Mother. Tenured professor. Sister. Friend. The “yes woman” to anything and everything. But it wasn't enough; it was never enough. Exhausted, overcommitted, and empty, she decided, out of necessity, to radically change her approach to everyday life. We chat about why it can be hard to say No to others (especially as women). We discuss the problem with being the "Yes Mom", and how to set boundaries in both your personal life and your professional life.

You need to start setting better boundaries. Boundaries help prevent burnout and resentment, even when you're doing something that you love. I'm joined by my friend, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, on the release of her new book, Brave Boundaries, to talk about the steps to take to start setting boundaries in your life: both with yourself and other people. How to Set Boundaries Take a boundary inventory - write a list of everything you do Start from the bottom - stop doing things you don't like to do for free Move to the middle - stop doing paid things you don't like About Dr. Sasha Shillcutt My friend, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, has a new book that I think you would all find life-changing. In her book Brave Boundaries, Sasha utilizes practical and powerful tools, concepts, and exercises, to invite you into an empowering and peaceful way of life. She shares personal and professional expertise on how you can overcome burnout and take back control of your time and your life by learning to set clear work-life boundaries. She examines the hopeless cycle of self-criticism, the social expectation of what a woman “should” be, and the incessant drive to please. Then, she guides you down the path of discovering who you were created to be by helping you take a boundary inventory. I encourage you to purchase it HERE! Set Boundaries to Avoid Burnout Dr. Sasha Shillcutt is here on the exciting release of her book, Brave Boundaries, to talk about why we, as women, need to start setting boundaries to avoid burnout. Sasha shares how she burned out in 2019 by doing the work she loves to do – I think this is so important to note. You can still burn out doing what you love to do. This is why it's vital that you set boundaries, especially if those boundaries are with yourself. I know all too well that when you love to do something, you might be way more flexible with your boundary. And this is what leads to burnout or resentment. What exactly is a boundary? Sasha says that a boundary is something that allows you to live your priorities and have your priorities match your calendar. This is both with yourself and with others. Setting Boundaries with Others Not sure how to set your boundaries? Sasha says to start by writing a list, with your paid commitments and priorities at the top all the way down to what you do for free. Start setting boundaries from the bottom of your list and work your way up. It might be difficult to set boundaries with other people. You might experience something Sasha calls boundary backlash. She explains that this pushback on your boundaries usually comes from people who never thought about setting boundaries for themselves – you haven't done anything wrong if you've received boundary backlash from someone! We both agree that it's so special to find a friend who respects your boundaries with ease. These friends are like gold dust; I really feel like you can exhale around them. Hold onto these friends, and don't let them go! If you're struggling to set boundaries in your life, write down a list of everything you do like Sasha suggests. Start by setting a boundary with the bottom thing on your list. How does this feel? Let me know in the comments on the episode page what this experience was like. In This Episode How something positive that you enjoy can lead to burnout [2:30] The importance of setting boundaries [3:30] What a boundary is [4:30] How to set a boundary with other people [8:00] What happens when you receive boundary backlash [12:00] Why it's important to have close friends who understand your boundaries [22:00] How to handle friendship that crosses your boundaries [24:30] Why you need to have boundaries around every group [28:00] Quotes “It's almost like a cycle. I found myself again, in 2019, right before the pandemic, totally burned out, realizing and wondering how I got to this place again. Instead of negative things burning me out, it was all these positive things.” [3:00] “Anything good in your life can become a drain on you and become toxic if you don't have boundaries around it.” [3:29] “We have to respect one another's boundaries. There are going to be people in your life that you literally have to tell a boundary to 100 times. It doesn't mean you're wrong or you're doing anything wrong; it just hasn't clicked in their brain. It has nothing to do with you.” [9:58] “The boundary backlash comes especially for people who never themselves thought, ‘well why can't I set boundaries?' These people are afraid of your empowerment, they're afraid of your agency. When you say that you're not doing that when other women said they would for free, you are showing your power, and that is offensive to people who don't have their power. You might get backlash. It's okay, it doesn't mean you've done anything wrong. Set the boundary, toughen up a little, you can handle backlash.” [11:59] “It doesn't matter how good you are at it; no one is going to pay you for work you're doing for free until you stop doing it. Until you say that you're not doing it anymore.” [16:35] “Find your friend you can exhale with.” [26:36] Resources Mentioned Join Transform Now Brave Enough Women's CME Conference Buy Brave Boundaries: Strategies to Say No, Stand Strong, and Take Control of Your Time: The Key to Living Empowered by Sasha K.

Dr. Sasha Shillcutt is a physician, researcher, speaker, author, wife, mom of four amazing kids, and Founder/CEO of Brave Enough.

Thousands of people viewed her TEDx talk, Resilience: The Art of Failing Forward. She also leads conferences and retreats for professional women, and her second book, Brave Boundaries, releases in the Fall of 2022. Listen in to learn more about: How Sasha defines boundaries and how you can live your life in a way that reflects your priorities. What burnout looks like in Sasha's life and how she flips the script on it. Boundary backlash, especially when people call you selfish for setting them. Favorite quotes: ~A boundary allows you to live your life that reflects your priorities. ~The only thing that is going to allow you to fulfill that life where you put your energy and time where you want is boundaries. ~If you don't have boundaries in your life, someone else will. ~When we set boundaries for ourselves, we are honoring the person we want to be. It is like preventive medicine. ~Boundaries don't just keep the bad out, they keep the good in. Without boundaries our biggest strengths can become our biggest time and energy sucks and wastes. ~We have to be women who are approachable. It doesn't mean we have to be women who are always accessible. In this episode I answered this question: How do you recommend getting started marketing a new business with virtually no resources?

Overwork and overwhelm are huge problems in today's society, yet they are highly revered in many cultures. From the story of Elon Musk sleeping in the Tesla factory, to the parents so committed to their children they haven't had a night out in three years. We shake our heads in dismay when we hear them, but smile in admiration at the same time. Why? Because finding balance is an issue many of us struggle with. On this week's podcast, we meet a medical doctor and mother of four who found herself consumed by burnout, overwhelm, disappointment, and isolation. She made a huge change in her own life and now writes, speaks, and coaches women to set boundaries and find balance in theirs.

Make Group Programs Work for You In this third and final installment of personal transformation stories from actual people taking my group programs, we're hearing from women who want you to invest in yourself. My first guest explains how to get the most value out of a group coaching program. The key is to make it work for you - whether you're attending live classes, which we recommend, or catching up on a replay, it really is how you can best fit the classes into your schedule! And schedule them in at the start of your week - schedule you first and slot everything in around you. Honestly, these programs are so much more than fat loss or weight loss programs. The thought work and mental health aspects are just as, if not more, important and will definitely help you make substantial changes in your life.

You can accomplish so much in just ten minutes! It's about staying consistent with the changes that you want to make. Do it for yourself. I truly believe that the key difference in success is having a strong and supportive community around you. That's the difference in a group program.

That was never my goal, whatsoever, and I was able to have my own transformation, mostly working with the thoughts and the thought work was the best for me.” [17:32] “More than anything, I have completely changed in every aspect of my life. In my work and my relationships, I was in a really toxic relationship and was able to establish boundaries. I learned that I was important and I was worth it. I was worth this work.

Your health is literally your wealth and Dr. Erica Howe joins me again to talk about how her life changed after her cancer diagnosis. We talk about the power that comes from a community of supportive women, the importance of baseline fitness, and why we're ditching diet culture for good. Key Takeaway Find a community of women who will support you through all the good and the bad. Find those people who will lift you up when you need support and who will cheer with you as you celebrate. Find your people. About 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—a 3-day event hosted in Aruba, Grand Cayman, and Amelia Island exclusively for women physicians--as a way of bringing them 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. The Power of a Community of Women Dr. Erica Howe opens up about her breast cancer diagnosis and how this impacted every aspect of her life. She explains how she was so nervous to tell anyone about her diagnosis, but that when she did open up, she received an outpouring of love and support from her community. It was her community coming together to support her through these dark days that kept her going. We are stronger together, always. Showing up for each other, whether to support through the hard times or help celebrate the good, is such an important part of sisterhood. This experience solidified Dr. Howe's decision to go to her Women Physicians Wellness Conference just a few short weeks after her surgery. She shares that while, at first, she wasn't able to participate in much of the exercise portion of the experience, she was eventually able to join us at the end of the trip. Exercise Can Help You Recover from Illness Your health is the most important thing in your life. We all come to this realization sooner or later - and your baseline fitness will help determine how well you recover from surgery. Dr. Howe talks about how she is so over fad diets; she's all about lifestyle changes from now on. As Dr. Howe prepares for her next surgery, she's building up her fitness and wellness habits so that she can heal and recover quicker. One motto that's really helped Dr. Howe, as well, is to only look to The Next Best Decision. This mindset has really helped her keep focused on what's important and helps her navigate all the difficult decisions she needs to make. Finally, we talk about how exercise is important for more than just our physical health. It's directly related to our mental health, healing abilities, and more. Do you have a circle of women around you that you can rely on? If not, I'd encourage you to seek out women and start building your support system. Maybe we'll see you at the Women Physicians Wellness Conference? Let me know in the comments on the episode page how you're nurturing your relationships with other women. In This Episode How women physicians can support each other through difficult times [8:00] Why community support is so important [11:30] How to start exercising after surgery [18:00] The importance of putting lifestyle changes over fad diets [20:00] How your fitness level can help you recover faster [21:00] The power of ‘The Next Best Decision' [23:15] The connection between your mental and physical health [23:45] Quotes “They don't have a guidebook they give you when you get cancer that says, ‘this is how you tell everyone. This is what you should do next.' So I just posted it and the community came and circled around me in such incredible ways. To this day, it just warms my heart so much to think of how we, as women physicians, can support each other in these dark moments.” [7:55] “It just speaks to our community and how incredible we are. We are stronger together. We're all going through things, we all have major life events entering and exiting our lives, and we're all going through different things at different times. We can be stronger together. We can show up for each other. It doesn't have to be sitting at someone's bedside for five days; it's those little things that just help push us all forward and help us all rise together.” [11:26] “I just felt overwhelmed with everything that had happened and all the changes. Ali said to just start walking. Just walk. Get my steps in every day. People completely underestimate how powerful that is.” [18:24] “There is more than having a nice shape to your body. There is the privilege of strength, of being able to get up on your own, of not having to rely on somebody else, of being able to walk by yourself. I'm now coming at it from the mindset of needing as much strength, stamina, and endurance as I can get so when I have surgery a second time around, I can recover faster.” [21:05] Resources Mentioned The Women Physicians Wellness Conference 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 111: Dr. Erica Howe's Walk Down The Hall of Strategy Episode 96: Dr. Shillcutt on Discovering Self-Love Through Boundaries Episode 90: Transformational Conversations with Dr. Linda Street
Having a growth mindset, prioritizing strength training, knowing your body type, and practicing regular self-care are the keys to taking control of your life. I'm joined by Dr. Weili Gray, a sleep and lifestyle physician who recently took one of my programs, to talk about the benefits she's seen in her life since adopting my recommended practices. Key Takeaway Prioritize your self-care to improve all areas of your life. What do you do for your health, fitness, and well-being? About Dr. Weili Gray Dr. Weili Gray is a board-certified sleep, integrative, and lifestyle medicine physician who practices in Vermont. She is also a Registered Life Planner and the founder of Dare to Dream Physician, where she offers life planning and hosts a weekly podcast. The Importance of Body Types and Strength Training I've just met Dr. Weili Gray, but honestly, I feel like I've known her for a long time. What I love most about her, and it's evident in this conversation, is how much she values her self-care. She also has a growth mindset which helps her continuously develop herself, her life, and her goals. Dr. Gray says that she never used to prioritize strength training, but now that she does include it in her movement routine, she's seeing the benefits across her life. Not only did she learn about the importance of strength training during my program, but Dr. Gray also learned about different body types! She really stresses how much her knowledge of her own body's needs developed when she started understanding the different body types out there. She also learned that actually making time for exercise is so beneficial to her as an ectomorph, the naturally slender body type. Prioritize Yourself for More Control in Your Life Dr. Gray explains why she prioritizes investing in herself. She says that it makes her a better person all around - she feels she improves in her roles as mom, wife, and physician when she practices self-care and puts her own needs first. When she practices regular self-care, including her four days of exercise, Dr. Gray says she feels more in control of her life. She's less stressed and better equipped to focus on everything she has going on. Dr. Gray also explains how she includes her family in her self-care routine and helps encourage their health and wellness, too. Finally, we talk about the importance of adopting a growth mindset. It's fine to know this stuff in principle, but to actually put it into practice takes dedication and a desire to grow as a person. Have you adopted a growth mindset to improve your life? How often do you include your self-care practices in your routine? What do you do? Let me know what works best for you in the comments on the episode page! In This Episode How strength training is a tool for wellness [4:45] The impact of learning about different body types [6:00] What happens when you make time to exercise [9:00] How investing in yourself impacts your goals and plans [18:00] How practicing self-care helps you feel more in control of your life [19:45] What happens when you include your family in your self-care journey [21:30] The importance of adopting a growth mindset [27:00] Quotes “What I learned and solidified in your program is that running is great, it's good to move your body. Any kind of movement, even walking, as you say. But that's not enough. It doesn't address all the muscle groups. This was my lightbulb moment. This is my new step. I'm going to uplevel myself as an athlete. Not only am I going to be a runner, but I'm also so excited that [strength training] is going to be my goal!” [16:11] “I already feel that I am a better person. I'm a better mom, I'm a better wife, I'm a better physician because I actually feel and prioritize, at least four days a week, my self-care. Really putting that first is so important.” [18:48] “The little things that we do every day add up to how we feel. I want to continue that!” [19:38] “Once you find your why, it's so much easier to make decisions, prioritize your life, design your life in a way that's in full alignment with who you are, what you really want, and why you're on Earth.” [30:28] Resources Mentioned Listen to the Dare to Dream Physician Podcast Find Dr. Weili Gray Online Follow Dr. Weili Gray on Facebook | Instagram | 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 96: Dr. Shillcutt on Discovering Self-Love Through Boundaries Episode 106: Honoring Your Authentic Body Episode 105: Go All-In On You
