Today’s conversation is going to challenge you. It’s going to push you and hopefully open your eyes to different perspectives on subjects like divorce, healing, boundaries, parenting and relationships. My guest is not only a New York Times best selling author, she is also a clinical psychologist whose work focusing on parenting, family dynamics and mindful living is flat-out revolutionary. I am so excited to interview Dr. Shefali. You may be familiar with her paradigm-shifting books including “The Conscious Parent”. Her newest book “A Radical Awakening” will be the focus of our chat today. Dr. Shefali’s unique ability to blend clinical psychology with eastern mindfulness is quite inspiring and changing lives.   Our conversation today touches on becoming aware of toxic patterns and taking the steps to heal from them.
