Making a 3x Ms. Olympia Champion- Behind the physique and mindset of Andrea Shaw
Episode Overview
Sometimes when you meet someone, you feel like you've known them your whole life. Well, that's what it was like for me to meet Andrea Shaw. Known to her friends and now to me as Draya. What impressed me about her was not just her incredible physique, but also her humility, light, her personality and the kind of person that she exudes. We'll find out a lot about what sets her apart, how her mindset has taken her this far in her sport and where the rubber met the road for her in terms of her making a decision to take this route in the first place.
“Don't let the environment control you. You control the environment and take charge of what you can.”
- Andrea Shaw
“Pick a day! Once you take action, there's definitely going to be some sort of follow up step, or something else is going to happen to help move you into that next phase and that next dimension
