Meet: Bershan Shaw!

Introduce yourself and profession to our readers: Hello, I am Bershan Shaw, celebrity tv personality, International motivational speaker, Certified global business and life coach, author, two time stage four breast cancer survivor.

What inspired you to pursue this area of interest? I was told I had three months to live and to get my affairs in order by a doctor. I showed him. Don't let anyone tell you your path but you and GOD. I realized that I was bigger than my diagnosis. My prognosis is to uplift, inspire and heal women worldwide and I'm on a mission to do it.

What advice would you share with those interested in a similar pursuit? To stop being afraid or embarrassed of your story. I don't care if you were abused, raped or grew up in the ghetto that is your story and it made you who you are today. You are stronger and tougher than you can imagine.

I used to be afraid to tell people I had stage 4 breast cancer because I didn't want to be known as the sick girl with health issues and then I realized my story was my journey and my life. My biggest opportunity in my life came from my biggest health challenge. I turned my set back into a set up for greatness. And now I'm a six figure business and relationship coach and I love it. I would tell all the women out there to be authentic with their story and don't try to be like anyone else but themselves.

Discuss a professional challenge and how you overcame it: I overcame going through my stage 4 health challenges in and out of chemo, radiation and the embarrassment the fear, the doubt, the worry and the stress. I changed my mindset and I psyched myself to believe I was going to beat the disease and I did. I said affirmations. I changed my diet to illuminate meat and I started living life. 

I stopped talking about what I wanted to do and I started doing what I wanted to do. And my marriage fell apart from the man I loved and it was hard. I struggled through paying high price NYC lawyers and taking care of my elderly dad and taking care of myself while keeping my business a float. It was a lot

What is next for your brand/business in 2017? I will be launching my Urawarrior digital academy online and an app and I'm coming out with my best seller book. I am growing my personal development business worldwide and I'm loving every minute of it. I am launching my IAMAWARIOR Jewerly--beads and bangles for inspiration and motivation when you need it
