On today’s Life Question, Michael responds to a children’s rights activist who struggles to maintain her compassion given the atrocities she witnesses in her work.
Next, Michael sits down with Shefali Tsabary, a clinical psychologist specializing in the integration of Western psychology and Eastern philosophy, bringing together the best of both worlds for her clients, and author of the bestselling books Conscious Parenting and The Awakened Family, and her latest, The Parenting Map. During their time together, Michael and Shefali discuss several parental myths and fantasies around who and what they believe their children are and should be; why discipline doesn’t work; the three lies about parenting that need to be debunked in order to raise resilient, healthy children; the spiritual ideas and practices parents can learn from their children; and more!
**Please note that today’s episode contains explicit language.**
Michael then closes this episode with a brief guided meditation that embraces the energy and teachings of their conversation.
You can learn more about Dr. Shefali’s many programs and workshops including her Coaching Institute for parents and parents who want to help other parents, as well as schedule consultations with her at www.drshefali.com, and by following her on social media.
