Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, Board Certified Cardiac Anesthesiologist

I’m Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, a trailblazer in medicine and gender equity,
but most importantly — a leader of women.

As a highly sought-after international speaker, two-time author, double boarded cardiac anesthesiologist, and proud mother of four incredible children, I have devoted my life to empowering women, from executives to creatives, and coaching high-functioning women through Brave Enough.

Brave Enough was founded because about a decade ago, I found myself climbing a successful career as a clinical scientist & national expert, and yet at the same time, in a valley of emptiness and loneliness. I felt so alone, so lost at times as a busy working mom, it was like I had given away every piece of myself and didn’t know who I was anymore. I realized I craved a community of women leaders, creatives, founders, entrepreneurs, executives, and moms who weren’t meant to fit in just one box - and decided to build it myself. So, I created Brave Enough. Welcome!

Brave Enough is a one-stop haven for women who are burned out, exhausted, feel stuck or are plain TIRED of being made to feel like they just are quite “enough”, no matter how hard they try. You will find coaching, teaching, my podcast, my blogs, webinars, conferences, retreats and most important: you will find help to be you again.

I have been the mom who feels guilt as I work in a job where I don’t feel seen or enough. I’ve been the working woman who feels like no matter what I do, it just isn’t quite “right”. I’ve been the woman who collapses at the end of every day thinking, “is this really supposed to be the life I wanted?”, the mom who can’t remember the last time I took time for herself. I am no longer that woman, but I know what it is like to be in that space.

As an author, international speaker and award-winning physician, I can tell you this: no amount of money or accolades will bring you what you so desperately need: space to live well, a career you don’t have to escape from, and time for you to spend with family and friends. What brings you true joy is learning to be brave enough – brave enough to say no, set boundaries, and live life on your terms. I have taught tens of thousands of women how to embrace their worth and potential by reclaiming their time and regaining control over their lives.

It’s time to lead a life on your terms. Welcome to Brave Enough. Let me show you how.

Call me Bossy: Bossy Saves Lives™

In this candid reflection, I share my journey as a female physician who embraces direct leadership, even when it challenges societal norms. From being labeled "bossy" and "domineering," to realizing these traits make me a better doctor, this blog explores the balance between decisiveness and compassion, especially in a male-dominated field. Discover why owning my leadership style has empowered me, and why Bossy Saves Lives™.

"Finding Brave Enough and Sasha's community was a pivotal moment in my career and life.  I was feeling burnt out and seriously considering leaving medicine.  I signed up for Brave Balance and found myself again, rediscovered my passion for medicine, as well as joined a community that I have the privilege to call friends and mentors.  I am proud of being a role model for other women around work life control and setting boundaries.  Additionally, I have discovered new adventures in my career I am ready to take on.  I no longer feel stuck.  I am so thankful for all that I have learned and all the amazing women I have met."

- Dr. Emily Scattergood, MD

"Having had the privilege of being coached and attending group retreats with Sasha has simply changed the trajectory of my life and career. I have had a few journeys through burnout - feeling alone, lost, confused, and siloed. I lost who I was. It was with Sasha and the community that she has created that has allowed me to believe again that I am enough just as I am, that I can be the doctor that I want to be to serve patients and the community in the best way I know how."

Here's More of What  Women Love About Brave Enough

"Your Brave Balance Master Class validated my experience in my career and leadership by normalizing my struggles. The Master Class provided clarity in recognizing stress and shame for what they are, and this recognition has allowed me the opportunity to pause, consider, and react in a way that will foster effective communication and positive change. I have given myself the grace I needed to outsource, delegate, and prioritize my own health through practical tools to operationalize changes in my time, schedule and responsibilities. 100% worth the investment."

- Dr. Marcene McVay Gillam, Pediatric Surgeon and Business Owner

"When I first went to a Brave Enough retreat, I had a side hobby I was passionate about, but I had no idea how to integrate it into my work life or academia. Fast forward a year, and I now have a website, mailing list, a brand new online course that I just released, and I was invited to my 4th speaking gig on the topic, all because of the tips and tools I learned from Sasha and Brave Enough! Thank you so much for teaching me that we can turn passions into reality."

- Dr. Kelly Wright, Surgeon and Founder

 

"I began listening to your podcasts on my commute to a workplace that was an unhealthy work environment for me. The Brave Enough Show podcast helped decide to leave an institution, as well as reading Between Grit and Grace! An awesome position came up, and this time I cried happy tears! I wanted to thank you for all the work that you do. It has made a huge difference to me as a physician just starting my career.    believe again that I am enough just as I am, that I can be the doctor that I want to be to serve patients and the community in the best way I know how."

- Dr. LB

"I am physician in South Africa and Sasha’s work has definitely helped me rediscover my passion for what I do, and the balance between being a doctor, business owner, wife, mother and a part of my church and community. Thank you!"

- Dr. J Schmidt
