Dr. Shefali on Why Most Parents Are Unconsciously Passing Down Their Trauma
I’ve been looking forward to this conversation for a long time. Today, I’m joined by the brilliant Dr. Shefali – a clinical psychologist, best-selling author, and the global voice behind the conscious parenting movement. Her work has changed the way millions of people approach not only how they raise their children, but how they reparent themselves.In this episode, we explore the ways we become disconnected from our authentic selves, how childhood conditioning shapes our adult lives, and why so many of us unknowingly carry generational trauma into our relationships — especially as parents. Dr. Shefali speaks with such clarity, compassion, and raw honesty, and she shares her own experiences of being a mother, a woman in transformation, and someone who has had to face her ego head-on. This conversation is a powerful reminder that our healing begins with awareness — and that true liberation often starts with the courage to look inward.If you’re struggling, consider therapy with our paid partner.
