Here’s what some of women who graduated from Brave Balance have to say: 

I have now led hundreds of women physicians through Brave Balance and witnessed first-hand how they have changed their lives for the better. Women finish Brave Balance with fierce boundaries, the ability to make daily time for themselves, and clarity around both their work and their purpose. They are healthier, happier, and many navigated their way out of toxic environments and work conditions.

The Brave Enough Master Class was excellent.

The topics and time spent on reviewing the weekly lectures and reflection work were very well constructed to move through a process of self-awareness and improvement. No specific improvement suggestions.

This course helped me develop strategies to combat burnout and grow as a healthcare professional.

I learned skills to develop a growth mindset while remaining true to my values and pursuing my professional goals. I also developed supportive relationships with other women in medicine. Prior to this course, I had done lots of work on boundaries, including reading and implementing strategies from Dr. Shillcutt's book; hence why I rated that topic as least impactful below, for me personally.

I have already made daily changes on all levels in my practice.

This course helped provide deep and clear self-awareness of mindset and efficiency modifications significantly influencing my daily approach to bringing patients the best and most focused care.

Sasha scripted out a lovely way to say that I no longer wanted to be involved in X,Y, or Z committees. It worked!

Before, I was overcommitting to requests that no longer or did not serve my goals. Sasha scripted out a lovely way to say that I no longer wanted to be involved in X,Y, or Z committees. It worked!

I was renewed, quit a few commitments, communicated my needs better to my family, started to find myself again!

Before I took Brave Balance, some of the challenges in my work/career/life included burn out and lack of assertiveness. After I finished Brave Balance, I was renewed!

The Brave Enough Master Class taught me how to better understand, appreciate, and care for myself.

So that I can be the best version of me, which has lead to stronger and more enjoyable relationships with my family, friends, and colleagues, and has allowed me to establish and achieve my goals. 

What I loved most about the Brave Enough Master Class is the friendships that help me continue the lifelong work on the journey of transformation.

Also, the permission to put myself first, and the timeless application of the lessons no matter where you are in life.

If I can summarize the impact of the Brave Balance Class, I would summarize it in one word: Clarity! 

Clarity of my goals, and clarify of my inner self that I was able to understand the conflicts, clearly state my goals at work and home, and being able to delegate unnecessary work based on my priorities.

I would like to thank Dr. Sasha for such an amazing initiative to elevate other women.

I believe that self-care is an ongoing process, I was able to prioritize myself at least once a week. I was able to prioritize my goals at work and at home. I am working on establishing boundaries at home, and getting slightly at work.

This is the only leadership class I have seen and participated that address the different role all women leaders have - physical, mother, wife and the person you were before took on all these roles.

And you can't teach to lead on one area without addressing the others - they are all connected. 

Sasha's authenticity, energy, and honesty jump off the screen and motivate me to do the hard work!

Program Description 

Brave Balance 2.0 is a NEW in 2025 12-week CME e-course led by Dr. Sasha Shillcutt. The course will give women physicians and other professionals strategies to identify their professional and personal goals, assess and identify causes specific to their workplace burnout, learn how to set healthy work-life boundaries, understand their specific stress response, and develop tools to help women negotiate and lead crucial conversations in their workplaces and communities. 

The course includes online weekly small group coaching with Dr. Shillcutt, an accompanying study guide for attendees, small, doable assessment and worksheets that help you devise your specific goals and plan, and audio/videos you can listen to on the go. The entire class is designed for the busy, working woman physicians. It is NOT overwhelming, but stripped down information to give attendees what they need to change their life one week at a time. Attendees will be in a safe, private environment to coach through topics such as: 

  • When to know it’s time to quit vs. change roles 
  • How to ask for help and delegate in stressful environments 
  • How to draw firm lines and boundaries around work vs. home 
  • How to identify your specific stress triggers and respond appropriately 
  • What to do when you are lost, stuck, and feel completely hopeless in your job 
  • How to create daily time for yourself & prioritize your health 

Students will be able to complete self-study homework each week, and small group live sessions at the conclusion of each week for review and Q/A. The curriculum is graduated and is released in weekly modules, so that physicians can work through the strategies each week and discuss in forums after each teaching in small, doable chunks. 

It’s time to transform your life and be your own success story. Enroll Now!

About Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Dr. Sasha Shillcutt!

I am a cardiac anesthesiologist, author, speaker, mom to four amazing kids, and wife to the love of my life, Lance.  

Five years ago, I was flailing. I was burned out, and I lacked healthy boundaries in my work life. I also was struggling to find the self-confidence to negotiate for and claim what I needed to help me live authentically as ME. It took some time, but I finally found myself again. And now, I want to help you do the same!  

I created the Brave Enough Master Class: Brave Balance in order to help high-performing professional women thrive in their daily work and home life. Over 200 women just like you have made HUGE changes in their personal and professional lives.   

You can be next!
