Gender Bias with Sasha Shillcutt | Ep. 61 - a podcast by Emma Koch
from 2020-05-13T12:00
Dr. Sasha Shillcutt joins me on the podcast today to talk about gender bias, confidence, and she empowers women to take action and fight for their dreams. Dr. Shillcutt’s experiences in her twenties taught her not to sit back and watch others get promotions but to seek after the promotions herself! She encourages us to do the same. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Shillcutt.

Noteworthy quotes:
“Confidence comes from taking action.” - 9:47
“The more we spend time alone, the more we have clarity about who we are supposed to be and our purpose and our passion in life.” - 17:32
Questions for consideration:
- Are there areas of your life where lack of confidence is holding you back? How can you take action? Who can encourage you along the way? Who can YOU encourage in their dreams or aspirations?
- Are you able to find solitude in the midst of your schedule? Are you able to reflect with the Lord on your life?
