In this very personal episode, Dr. Shaw shares one of the topics that is very important to her in manifesting her own personal growth, and that topic is the process involved in breaking away from old habits and developing a new "muscle" in order to evolve. She describes the process as it works for her, and that process begins with self-observation. In observing ourselves, we see how we are and we can in turn compare that to how we want to be. That re-set in our mind is so valuable in creating the path to betterment. Then, in the course of this podcast, Dr. Shaw outlines the road map for personal transformation.... it begins with intention, focuses on attention, and then we can recalibrate if our old patterns that we observe and that we hold onto don't serve us any longer.

In this brief but very powerful episode, Dr. Shaw coaches us on how to have confidence and also that by being confident, we can manifest our best life. She begins by acknowledging that confidence is not about having swagger, nor is it about one-upmanship... it's about having a strong belief in oneself. By valuing yourself, the world will meet you as someone of value. She shares some of her own goals, and by doing so Dr. Shaw illustrates how meeting your goals gives you self-worth which in turn improves your station in life. We all have an old belief system in which we don't believe in ourselves, but when we see that, we simply need to recalibrate and move ahead. And again, having confidence does not mean that you need to outshine others.... in fact by shining light on others even more light reflects back on us.

In this fascinating episode, Dr. Shaw put forth the notion that SINCERITY leads to greater fulfillment. On the surface that may seem like a leap, but as she discusses and illustrates how it works, and it comes together as a smart, interesting and very true theory. She begins by talking about the power of the word, and specifically, she talks about words of affirmation. For example, if words of affirmation are offered without sincerity, they won't have the power. The same thing goes for actions in addition to words... actions that should be sincere but are not will not be as fulfilling as actions offered and received with sincerity. As with all of Dr. Shaw's teaching and podcasts, listen and ponder, and watch the puzzle pieces of life fit together.
