A Better You is A Better Me…

Writing a book (s) doesn’t make you smart as some people tend to think—it makes you vulnerable—especially if you’re transparent for the purpose of your and others’  wellbeing. My life experiences have taught me invaluable lessons—consequently, I am committed to the philosophy of "When you learn, teach." So, I have found my purpose in being dedicated to sharing with others that may want guidance with personal growth—or navigating life's challenges. I believe that if we put our hearts and minds together—self-improvement becomes  inevitable.

What happens when the heart breaks and the brain won't let go? In The Heart Is a Real Place, Christie Y. Shaw offers a rare blend of storytelling, psychological insights, and unapologetically faith-rooted wisdom. This book is a compassionate companion for women navigating heartbreak, emotional trauma, and spiritual rediscovery.

Shaw invites you into a love story that becomes a healing journey, tracing how memory, attachment, and "cycles" of thought keep us tethered, and how prayer, reflection, and renewed self-regard help us gently untether. With clarity and care, she shows why grief after love is both a "heart thing" and a "brain thing," and how to move through it without minimizing your pain or losing yourself.

If you're longing for language that validates your ache and a pathway that restores your worth, this book will meet you where you are, and walk with you toward who you're becoming.

Depth. Sincerity. Emotional resonance. You'll find them here, in a voice that feels like a steady hand on your shoulder.
