Ep. 37 - Dr. Shefali: Lessons on Conscious Parenting - Allow the Mess, Squash the Ego, Reframe Divorce (Part 2)
Moms, doesn’t it feel so good when someone lets us off the hook?! Like when someone tells us that being perfect really isn’t the goal…or that loving ourselves first does, in fact, make us a better parent? This is the liberating conversation we’re been looking for! I’m honored to sit down with Dr. Shefali, world-renowned clinical psychologist and New York Times bestselling author for Part 2 of our conversation. As the preeminent voice in modern parenting, Dr. Shefali unpacks key truths from her groundbreaking work to challenge cultural norms and inspire authentic connection between parent and child. In this episode we explore:*why being your child’s “best friend” is a one-way street when they’re young—and why that’s okay*the surprising truth that unconditional love isn’t required to be a great mother (phew!)*how to stop people pleasing and show up for your kids and yourself with presence*what it looks like to reclaim your identity in the midst of motherhood, even if you’re living in the fog or feel like a “hot mess”*how perfectionism is rooted in ego, not love—and why letting go is the key to true connectionMake sure to follow Dr. Shefali on IG @doctorshefali, connect with her on her website drshefali.com and listen to her podcast "Parenting and You" Find Demetra at thelocalmomsnetwork.comFollow us on IG @thelocalmomsnetwork
