And she's impacted the lives of countless people, including Oprah Winfrey, as sat down with her many times to extract her wisdom. And now she's here on the model health show to share some powerful insights about one of our most important relationships. Let's jump into this conversation with the one and only Dr. Shafali. Welcome to the model health show. I'm so excited to be here. Awesome. Our team has been excited to have you here. We've got so many questions and congratulations on your new book coming out. One of the things that you teach is that we need to destroy our fantasies about parenting. What do you mean
Speaker 1
by that? Well, I think we enter the parenting journey with these grand, mighty expectations and fantasies that we're going to have these little mini me creatures who are going to follow what we say. And we're going to create this picture perfect family of success and bliss. And those fantasies really then when they don't come true, which is on day two, and they come crashing, we begin to feel like we are failures. Like there's something wrong with us. You know, so many mothers have told me how they couldn't breastfeed right away or their baby wouldn't latch or their baby was crying all the time. And the guilt sets in right away or if you have postpartum depression, you know, or if you and your partner are not getting along on day three, you begin to have this panic attack because you had this vision. And whenever we preemptively have visions for anything, we set ourselves up for possible disaster instead of living in the moment, right? Having a child is such an incredible journey, a constant adventure in the unknown. But if we are not ready to embrace the moment by moment utter unpredictability of this journey, especially till they are 16, 17, you just have no way of knowing how it's going to go the next day. And if you don't embrace and surrender to that utter unpredictability, you will suffer. You will suffer. And then when you suffer, you get triggered and then your children suffer and then the relationship suffered. So instead of setting ourselves up for these expectations, I teach parents to surrender preemptively to the fact that now their life is no longer in their control. Any idea or delusion of control that they think they're going to have over this other human being needs to be destroyed so that you can truly enter the present moment and connect with your children as they need you to connect to them, which is a moment by moment connection. Yeah.
