Episode 9: "Doing the Inner Work" with Dr. Zoe Shaw


Listen Later

I wanted to have this conversation with Dr. Zoe because over the years, I’ve come across more and more people who are acknowledging the importance and valuing the impact of therapy, and how important our mental health is to our success in life, as a parent, as an entrepreneur, as a person. And who better to have this conversation with than someone who helps people every day? So let me introduce you to my guest

Dr. Zoe Shaw is a licensed psychotherapist, motivational speaker, podcast host, life coach and fitness fanatic. She is passionate about helping women who struggle in difficult relationships- especially that sometimes difficult relationship with themselves.

After 15 years in traditional psychotherapy practice, Dr. Zoe jumped off the couch and now helps women using a different modality with a mix of virtual therapy, coaching services and programs designed specifically for women trying to have it all, who sometimes struggle in the superwoman game.

Dr. Zoe is a graduate of UCLA and Pepperdine University. She is a frequent blogger (writing about helping women redefine their Superwoman) and loves answering women's burning questions in her advice column at the Grit and Grace Project (an online women's magazine). 

Some notes from the episode:

Dr. Zoe laid out the following suggestions to consider when looking for a therapist:

  1. Find a connection
  2. Understand their qualifications
  3. What are their fees? Do they accept your insurance?
  4. Are their values/faith/cultural practices in alignment with what you need or want in a therapist?

When I asked her about being uncomfortable with a session or in a therapist’s office, she said “SPEAK UP”. If no one told you before, please listen to me today - if you are uncomfortable, or not getting the level of care you expected, please speak up.
