Today’s guest is Dr. Shefali - renowned psychologist, bestselling author and internationally recognised voice in conscious parenting. Featured on leading platforms and with leading voices including Oprah Winfrey, Jay Shetty and Mel Robbins, her work has helped thousands of families transform old wounds into wiser parenting, and shift from control to connection.

In this conversation, we explore what conscious parenting really means: looking inward so we don’t pass down fear, patterns, or control. We talk about projection, entitlement, teenage years, and why children often become mirrors reflecting the parts of ourselves we’ve ignored — or tried to hide.

We also dig into a growing concern: Parental Alienation and the emotional distance between parents and kids. Dr. Shefali shares how unresolved patterns, ego, or silent expectations can lead to the painful reality of feeling disconnected — and how healing starts with courage, awareness, and the willingness to repair.
