Summary

Themes: Parenting, Ego, Social Media, Child Development Summary: Today I’m excited to welcome Dr. Shefali to the podcast. I have been a longtime fan of her work, and as I step into parenthood myself, this episode comes at the perfect time! In it, we dive into concepts from her most recent book, The Parenting Map, and explore the traditional parenting paradigm (and why it’s not working anymore), plus how to develop awareness around your behaviours to foster a deeper connection with your kids. Dr. Shefali received her doctorate in clinical psychology from Columbia University. Specializing in the integration of Western psychology and Eastern philosophy, she brings together the best of both worlds for her clients. She is an expert in family dynamics and personal development, teaching courses around the globe. She has written four books, three of which are New York Times best-sellers, including her two landmark books, The Conscious Parent and The Awakened Family. Discover: The traditional parenting paradigm and why it’s not working anymore Why shifting from control to connection is key in conscious parenting How to nurture your child’s essence, so they develop resilience and self-worth Why our children trigger us (hint: it’s about you, not them) How your past pain influences the way you parent How social media impacts your child’s self-worth and self-image How to identify your child’s ego pattern 00:00 Intro 01:05 The traditional parenting paradigm 05:28 Conscious parenting 11:28 It’s not your kid; it’s you 12:52 Parents are not aware that their love is conditional 16:43 Parenting from ego & parenting as spiritual growth 26:08 Recognizing your ego patterns 28:56 Projecting onto your kids 34:40 The impact of social media on parents and kids 42:37 Repairing parenting mistakes 44:13 Dismantling the ego 48:40 It’s a difficult time to raise children Links: Website | drshefali.com Instagram | @doctorshefali Book | The Parenting Map Sponsors: Organifi | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% off sitewide at organifi.com/createthelove Create the Love Cards | Use code CTLCARDS15 for 15% off at createthelove.com/cards Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
