The Law of Attraction: Mindset or Magic?
In this episode of the She Is Courageous Podcast, I’m jumping into a topic that’s everywhere in the personal development space and everyone has a view on ... The Law of Attraction.
Now, I want to say upfront, I do believe in the Law of Attraction. But not in the way it’s often portrayed. I don’t believe you can simply visualise success, stand in front of a mirror repeating affirmations, and expect the universe to deliver everything you want. That’s not how this works.
What I do believe in is the power of mindset—and more specifically, how your brain filters your world based on what you focus on. I’m talking about the Reticular Activating System (RAS), the real, scientific explanation behind why focusing on what you want can help you move towards it.
In this episode, I break down:
Why the ‘just think positive’ version of the Law of Attraction isn’t helpful
How the RAS actually works, and why it matters
What it really means to “attract” success
Why getting clear on what you want is absolutely essential
And the mindset work required to actually believe you can have it
Plus, I share a really simple daily practice, that can help you train your brain to see what’s already working, so it can filter in more of what you want.
This isn’t about waiting for signs from the universe. It’s about choosing to take action, to back yourself, and to create momentum.
And if you need support doing that, this is exactly what we focus on inside the She Is Courageous Collective.

Hey, I’m Shelley Bosworth, International Business and Mindset Coach, keynote speaker and founder of The Se Is Courageous Collective
Beginning my career in the heart of the UK’s corporate world, I spent 25 years climbing the ranks across retail and hospitality, from Harrods to Starbucks to Haven Caravan Parks. Along the way, cultivating an ability to bridge the gap between strategy and people, leading large teams through transformation and growth.
In late 2019, I left the corporate world to launch her coaching business, going all in on a vision to empower others, just as the world began facing an unprecedented global pandemic. Since then I’ve worked with businesses and individuals worldwide, empowering hundreds to break through self-doubt, overcome imposter syndrome, and take bold courageous action toward their goals.
Known for my high-energy, authentic, and no-nonsense approach, I like tithing I inspire others to take courageous action and embrace the mindset shifts that make success possible. Life is too short not to go for what you want, my own story is proof of that and she I can’t wait to help you write yours.
My mission is to help women like you stop overthinking, start taking bold action, and finally go after the life and business you really want.
If you’re ready to stop second-guessing and start building real momentum—you’re in the right place.
