The Power of Women Gathering: Connection as Healing

from The Brave Enough Show for Women Physicians · host Dr. Sasha Shillcutt

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.
