Dr. Shefali on Conscious Parenting: Why Our Kids Trigger Us | Teddy Talks After Hours S2 Ep. 2

Why do we lose it over shoes and being late for school? Conscious parenting expert Dr. Shefali says it's rarely about our kids, and almost always about us. 🧸 In this grown-ups-only Teddy Talks After Hours, school psychologist Dr. Rebecca Branstetter sits down with Dr. Shefali Tsabary, clinical psychologist, New York Times bestselling author and founder of the conscious parenting movement. They unpack our kids' episode on speaking your truth, and why our children are the clearest mirror we'll ever have. Dr. Shefali shares her own very real trigger moment (one innocent question from her 23-year-old daughter about her hair!), what she'd whisper to her younger self, and the one thing she wants every parent to know: love the kids you have. Plus, she introduces us to Charlie, her daughter's well-loved teddy bear. 🐻 ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Welcome to After Hours 0:40 Dr. Shefali & The Conscious Parent 2:10 Meet Charlie the teddy bear 3:15 Parenting as a mirror for your own growth 5:40 The shoes-and-running-late meltdown, unpacked 7:20 Dr. Shefali's own trigger moment 10:20 Teaching kids to speak their truth 11:00 Loving your own inner child 12:00 What Dr. Shefali would tell her younger self 13:30 Kids, social media & the approval trap 14:00 Raising Conscious Sons & Raising Conscious Daughters 15:40 Her advice: love the kids you have 16:30 Bonus: our childhood bears 17:50 Where to find Dr. Shefali 📚 Dr. Shefali's new books, Raising Conscious Sons and Raising Conscious Daughters, are available on Amazon 🌐 drshefali.com: free summit, community, and the Conscious Parenting Coaching Institute 💛 Teddy Talks listeners get $500 off Coaching Institute tuition.
