What if the very way you think about parenting could change the world? Join us as we dive into a transformative conversation with Dr. Shefali, a trailblazer in the realm of conscious parenting. Known for her revolutionary ideas, Dr. Shefali uncovers the dangers of conditional love and the importance of honoring a child's true self. We explore her latest book, "The Parenting Map," and her new podcast, "Parenting and You," which offer practical wisdom not just for parents but for anyone interested in personal development and conscious living.

Ever wondered why the quest for exceptional children leaves so many parents stressed and anxious? We tackle this societal pressure head-on, reflecting on Steve Carell's humorous remark about having "average" children, and challenge the stigma around averageness. From the narcissistic tendencies of parents projecting their unfulfilled dreams onto their kids, to the undervalued nurturing qualities often overshadowed by a success-driven world, Dr. Shefali shares invaluable insights on why it's crucial to let children live on their own terms.

The journey to accepting the ordinary and flawed nature of humanity is a powerful one. In this episode, we delve into the unrealistic expectations parents often have for their children, driven by their own egos and unmet needs. Dr. Shefali advocates for allowing kids to experience authentic emotions, including sadness, and stresses the importance of healing one's inner child. We also cover the challenges and rewards of conscious parenting, from managing shame and guilt to navigating co-parenting conflicts. Tune in for a compelling and candid discussion filled with transformative lessons for parents and individuals alike.
