I am Dr. Stephanie Byerly, and I am an academic anesthesiologist, Certified Life Coach, and published author. I help women physicians take back control of their lives. Having worked in the medical profession for 30 years, I know first-hand the burden that women face as they navigate the challenges of working in a demanding, competitive and patriarchal field. I want them to rekindle their feelings of joy and fulfilment in both their personal and professional life so that they don't have to leave medicine. The medical profession cannot afford to lose any more amazing women! I have experienced many challenges in my own life: childhood trauma, divorce, becoming a single parent, dealing with the addiction of a loved one, and physician burnout. I hit my rock bottom and embarked on a journey of self-healing. This has been a long journey, but definitely the most important and fulfilling of my life, and it is still ongoing. My journey has led me to want to help women who are dealing with trauma in their own lives, and I have undertaken specialist training to help me support these women in my coaching practices. A lot of women are burnt out from working in high-pressure and high-stress environments or simply from existing in a patriarchal world that places heavy expectations on them. I am passionate about helping these women step into their power and take up space in the world. I am a champion of gender equity, wellness, and mind-body medicine. I am a fierce advocate for wellness for physicians, and I have a special interest and training in working with women physicians. I published an article entitled “Female Physician Wellness: Are our Expectations of Ourselves Extreme?” and have written many other articles that advocate for rights and equality for women physician. My other big passion in coaching is women in Leadership. I have held a number of leadership positions throughout my career: Chief of Staff, Medical Director, Chair of Resident Recruitment, Chair of The American Society of Anesthesiologists Committee on Women Anesthesiologists, to name but a few.

My guest, Dr. Stephanie Byerly, is an Academic Anesthesiologist, Certified Life Coach for Women Physicians, and a mother of two amazing daughters.  After experiencing trauma during her childhood and teenage years, and then having her marriage end in divorce, she suffered a major episode of burnout from the personal and professional challenges.  She found a way out of burnout and understood she had to find the peace, joy, and happiness she wanted in her life.  Becoming a Life Coach changed her life in unbelievable ways. Her training, along with her own experiences of dealing with trauma, addiction, and burnout, provided her with the tools to impact the lives of other women, and especially women physicians, by showing them a way out of “survival mode” back to a life of personal fulfillment, joy, happiness, and realizing they are enough just the way they are. In this episode we talk about: Thinking about your career and leadership journey who or what may have been instrumental in that decision? What does a day as a women physician on the frontlines look like? Whom do you serve? What challenges do you face? Define for us what self-care means to you and what self-care looks like when it comes to being a woman on the front lines during this pandemic? Why is diversity in leadership as it pertains to having more women physicians vital to healthcare? When we look at the pandemic and how the lid has been lifted and exposed healthcare ad workplace disparities, how would the ability to retain women in healthcare leadership diversity help reduce those disparities and improve care? What would it take for organizations to support women in healthcare, especially during these times? What would you say to someone who is hesitant about getting vaccinated? What myth would you like to debunk? What do you want people to know about this pandemic and how we can all move forward to a safer and healthy environment?

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). 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. She speaks frequently to executives and leaders on the topics of professional resilience and gender equity. Her TEDx talk titled Resilience: The Art of Failing Forward has been viewed by thousands of people. Her writing has been published in both the New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA.  She leads conferences and retreats for professional women through her organization, Brave Enough. 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).

Her first book, Between Grit and Grace: How to be Feminine and Formidable, was released in February 2020.   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.   Homework for Women Physicians It's time to grow deep in self-awareness, set clear boundaries, and develop strong time management skills to create the work-life balance you desperately need (and deserve!). 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

Tonya continues to enjoy her clinical practice and remains an on-call faculty for the Alaska Family Medicine Residency Program.  Dr. Caylor has 21 years of post-residency clinical experience, 12 of those years involving academic medicine at the residency level. She completed the faculty development fellowship through the University of Washington. Dr. Caylor is a certified culinary coach through Harvard's Institute of Lifestyle Medicine as well as a Certified Professional Coach through the Life Coach School.  She has completed additional coursework at the Co-Active Training Institute. She coaches medical students through the AMWA-Ignite program, residents, early-career physicians, and faculty through her own program. She is a generalist at heart and sees her clients as whole, capable and resourceful.    Coaching is for Everyone You don’t have to hate your life to invest in a powerful life transformation through coaching. In fact, that’s exactly what happened when Dr. Tonya Caylor came to me for coaching. She said, “I like my life,” and how powerful is that? Coaching helps you apply all those tools you read about in self-help books. Coaching gives you a sounding board, in either a group or private setting, to figure out your next best steps to take. Tonya offers both private and group coaching. She shares the benefits of group coaching and why she loves it so much. In group coaching, you can bounce off the other folks, learn from what issues they’re receiving coaching on, and work on your own critical thinking skills while figuring out what you’d do in their position.   The Importance of Self Care As a self-branded “woo coach,” Tonya worried how other people saw her. But she’s also started releasing other people’s expectations of the type of person and coach she should be. This is one of the reasons you should approach coaching with an open mind; you never know if a certain approach to coaching is exactly the type you need. One of the most common complaints Tonya works with her clients about is burnout. As physicians, it’s so common to experience burnout due to the nature of the job. But by prioritizing self-care and filling your own cup first, you can avoid, or at least minimize, burnout. Self-care is so important! We both urge you to prioritize your self-care. Do what lights you up, make time for what rejuvenates you, and take care of yourself. You will absolutely be a more effective and present physician.   Homework for Women Physicians How are you prioritizing self-care this week? What are some of your favorite self-care activities? Where do you fall short in taking care of yourself?

But what coaching does it take those tools and helps you apply them. Without that coaching piece, you’re just reading nice things that tell you what you should think. But the coaching really makes it tangible.” [9:48] “There’s evidence out there. Mayo Clinic, Harvard - There are published studies, evidence-based, randomized controlled trials showing the benefit of physician coaching.” [20:21] “You have to prioritize whatever it is that rejuvenates you and take care of yourself. Then you can be more effective and more present for those you serve.” [22:48]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Find Dr. Tonya Caylor Online Follow Dr. Tonya Caylor on Facebook | LinkedIn | YouTube | Twitter 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 51: Dr. Daisy Ramirez-Estrada On Learning to Prioritize Self Care  Episode 53: Dr. Harita Raja on Mind-Body Transformation  Episode 52: Dr. Stephanie Byerly on Healing the Healers

It’s a very real thing to experience burnout from being kind and caring all the time. It’s called compassion fatigue and it can have some pretty serious health complications. I’m joined by Dr. Pete Economou to talk about overcoming compassion fatigue, making peace with your body, and grace.   How to Make Peace with your Body Meditate Regularly Exercise Often Eat a Balanced and Healthy Diet Practice Gratitude and Joy   About Dr. Pete Economou Pete J. Economou Ph.D., ABPP is an Associate Professor at Rutgers University in the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP). He is board-certified in Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a certified mental performance consultant (CMPC), and licensed in NY and NJ to practice psychology.  Dr. Pete works with high performers at the collegiate and professional level, including NY and NJ universities, athletes in the NHL, MLS, and NFL. Dr. Pete is also a student of Zen Buddhism studying at the Morning Star Zendo with Robert Kennedy, Roshi for several years, which has translated into his mindfulness practices offered through the third wave CBT theories. Listen to his podcast, When East Meets West, and follow Dr. Pete on Instagram.   Compassion Fatigue and Grace Being compassionate all the time does come with a cost - and for us high achieving women, it’s usually time for ourselves. Dr. Pete Economou explains what compassion fatigue is and how to identify if you’re experiencing it. Pete is very familiar with eating too many Oreos at times - something all of us understand. What Pete teaches is to accept these moments as they are normal, we all give in to a binge. It’s okay. When you learn to accept the behavior, you learn to give yourself grace when they happen. Part of compassion fatigue is having a lack of boundaries. Setting boundaries does not have to make you any less compassionate. In fact, you’ll probably be more compassionate as you’ve had space to fill your own cup first.   Make Peace with your Body Pete talks about body neutrality. He says that every single person has some kind of distorted body image. It’s normal, especially in our body-focused society.  But he also shares what happens when you achieve body acceptance and make peace with your body. Your body is your vehicle on this planet, it doesn’t have to look or behave a certain way. Once you find this peace, you can commit to making change. Finally, Pete explains how you can start making peace with your body. It’s the daily changes, physical and emotional, that help. For him, the two most important factors are regular meditation and reclaiming joy.   Homework for Women Physicians Do you practice gratitude? Regular practice of gratitude can have significant benefits in so many areas of your life. Start a new habit of writing three things you’re grateful for every day for the next three weeks. Let me know in the comments on the episode page how you get on.   In This Episode  What compassion fatigue is [6:30] The signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue [10:00] How to accept that you might have a binge [13:45] How to have compassion and boundaries [19:00] What happens when you make peace with your body [20:30] The importance of laughter [24:00]   Quotes “Compassion fatigue is a depletion of compassion, whether for self or for others. If we’re putting our mask on first, then we’re focused on that self-compassion. This means that yes, you will miss an exercise. You will eat an extra Oreo. You will mess up and you have the permission to do so.” [13:01] “There is not a human being who doesn’t have a distorted image of their body. With 100% accuracy, each individual has some distortion, whether a thought around their body or an actual perception of it. It’s not until you get to a place of acceptance where it is, it’s your body. In the Third Wave mentality, our body is a vehicle, it’s not actually ours. It’s a vehicle in this life. If we can just have compassion for our body, accept it as it is, for all of its imperfections  (whether rational or irrational). It’s about getting to a place of peace around it. I can’t commit to change until I’ve come to peace.” [19:30] “I really encourage people to find joy. You have to create joy. In terms of compassion fatigue, what I will say is that it’s a lot easier to stay unhappy, apathetic, and depressed. It’s a lot harder to maintain a balanced and well life.” [24:51]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Buy Mindfulness Workbook for Beginners: Exercises and Meditations to Relieve Stress, Find Joy, and Cultivate Gratitude Online Listen to When East Meets West  Find Dr. Pete Economou Online Follow Dr. Pete Economou on Instagram | Twitter | The CWC Twitter 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 51: Dr. Daisy Ramirez-Estrada On Learning to Prioritize Self Care  Episode 53: Dr. Harita Raja on Mind-Body Transformation  Episode 52: Dr. Stephanie Byerly on Healing the Healers
