Today’s episode is a wake-up call.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll have an entirely different approach to how you think about life.

This is one of the most profound and insightful episodes of all time on The Mel Robbins Podcast.

Joining Mel today is the renowned clinical psychologist and spiritual teacher, Dr. Shefali.

This conversation strikes deep into the core of what it means to be alive and the mistakes that you are likely to make in every relationship you have.

It is an invitation for you to really consider your own experience and how your parent-child relationship impacted you, including how you show up in your day-to-day life and how you do (or will) show up as a parent.

Dr. Shefali will help you break cycles and reparent yourself. She’ll give you the steps to find your authentic self and maybe even have a spiritual awakening.

And you’ll learn the BEST advice for raising kids (and supporting adult children) that Mel has ever heard.

Dr. Shefali received her doctorate in clinical psychology from Columbia University. She's an expert in family dynamics and is known as the pioneer of the conscious parenting movement. She specializes in the integration of Western psychology and Eastern philosophy and is a New York Times bestselling author of 7 books.

Her simple words will change how you think about yourself, your life, and your relationships in a whole new way.
