You Don’t Need to Fix Your Kids — You Need to Heal Yourself. Uncut with Dr Shefali

We are the self help generation. There is so much access to information on how to better ourselves, work through all the sh*t from our childhoods, and break cycles. Today’s episode is going to be particularly interesting to anyone who is a parent, but even if you don’t have kids yourself, it will help you understand some of the psychology of your own experiences growing up and how those experiences show up in our day to day lives.

Dr. Shefali is joining us today and she has been described by Oprah herself as “one of the most profound parenting experts of our time”.  With a doctorate in clinical psychology, Dr Shefali is a New York Times bestselling author multiple times over, and the founder of the Conscious Parenting movement. Much of her work centers around healing a lot of the stuff that we are carrying with us from our childhood into our adult lives - and how it shows up in our parenting styles. She also answers one of the biggest parenting questions we tend to ask ourselves - how to build resilience in kids in today’s chaotic world. 

We chat:

• How Dr Shefali’s work was revolutionary at the time, but we are now immersed in it
• Our ego gets in the way when we are parenting
• How much of our experience as a parent is impacted by our own childhood
• The real reason children have tantrums
• Our kids don’t need the ‘heavily architectured’ lives we give them full of extra curricular activities every day
• Building resilience in kids and how to find the balance
• Unpacking our challenging relationships with our parents
• Is parenting actually a selfless act?
