Dr. Shefali on Conscious Parenting, Inner Work, and Raising Present Kids
In this episode, I sit down with world-renowned clinical psychologist and conscious parenting expert Dr. Shefali. We talk about what it really means to parent with presence, and how doing the inner work as adults is essential for raising emotionally grounded kids. Dr. Shefali breaks down the concept of conscious parenting—why it’s not about being perfect, and how it’s actually a path toward healing our own inner child. She shares powerful advice on letting go of cultural pressure, resetting our nervous systems, and raising children with intention instead of control. We also talk about how meditation has transformed my own parenting, and why creating stillness, boundaries, and joy for ourselves is one of the greatest gifts we can give our kids. Dr. Shefali’s insights are grounding, inspiring, and a reminder that parenting isn’t about performance—it’s about presence. Whether you’re in the thick of toddler tantrums, navigating teen years, or doing the inner work for yourself, this conversation will leave you feeling supported and empowered.
