In this episode, the ever-evolving nature of Dr. Shaw's podcasts becomes evident as she once again uses a personal experience and the observations generated by that experience to examine the human psyche.  Her experience was the result of attending a recent retirement party for a fellow teacher, and the emotions and feelings that came up for Dr. Shaw at that event gave way to an examination into useful information.  The story she shares opens the door for the listener of this podcast to alter their approach to both their own day-to-day as well as their approach to certain aspects of parenting.
