When Our Childhood Wounds Wound our Children: The Parenting Map With Dr. Shefali

Whether you are a parent or not, this episode is going to open your eyes! This week on Language of Love, I sit down with one of my faves, Dr. Shefali. She is a renowned author, psychologist, and parenting expert. Her book The Conscious Parent really changed my life. Now we sit down to talk about her newest endeavor, The Parenting Map.

In this episode we get into it all, including:

• All the unconscious ways our own wounds play out in our parenting style 
• The specific ways our triggers in adulthood actually developed in childhood and how we can stop the cycle with our own kids
• How our attempts to raise “successful” and “happy” kids is actually misguided 
• The secret guilt I’ve been carrying about a mistake I made with my son Sammy

Do you want to know how you can be there for your kids in a more fulfilling, meaningful, and loving way that will serve them and aid in their development? This episode is for you!
