This week, my special guest is Dr. Shefali Tsabary. If her name sounds familiar, you may have seen one of her appearances as the resident parenting expert on Oprah. Dr. Shefali is the author of multiple books, including her latest, The Awakened Family. She is a clinical psychologist with an incredibly unique East-meets-West approach to helping adults become who they need to be through a relationship with children. I knew that I needed to have Dr. Shefali on the show to share her incredible insight on the anxiety that many families experience. This anxiety can be present not only between parents and children but also between adults. As we talk today, Dr. Shefali shares her own personal journey, from growing up in Mumbai in a strongly patriarchal society to finally striking out on her own and heading to San Diego and then New York. Her growth is an inspirational story of what you can achieve with supportive parents, a dream and the drive to succeed. Listen in to learn to determine how to help people to emerge into a life that’s happy, fulfilled and in a place where you can be truly yourself.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: How Dr. Shefali experienced the death of her former life...and why you might want to as well.Why, as parents, we need to let go of what "we" want for our kids.How kids can be a profound vessel of liberation for parentsWhy we are so afraid to step into who we truly are.The unique way Dr. Shefali’s parents helped her to become who she is today.What Dr. Shefali holds most sacred for childhood development.Be mindful of your child's journey of figuring out who they are.Why Dr. Shefali has a deep respect and reverence for Sigmund Freud.

  • Just a very quick note before we dive in.

  • If you've been hearing me talk about Camp GLP, our awesome gathering of human beings at the end of August, quick note, the final early bird discount for that.

  • The $100 off discount expires in just a few days on June 15.

  • So if you want to grab your spot and make sure that you lock in the $100 off, make sure you do it by June 15.

  • Of course we're happy to see you there with open arms no matter what, but if that matters to you, I just didn't want you to miss the cutoff date.

  • You can learn more and grab your spot@goodlifeproject.com.

  • camp or just go ahead and click the link in the show notes onto our show.

  • If I'm given the message that work is life and life is work, life is an adventure and my moment to moment evolution is of sacred purpose, then when I break up with my boyfriend, I'm going to look at it as a growth awareness.

  • If I fail in a test, I'm going to learn from it.

  • And every moment becomes about evolution on the being level versus an achievement on the ego level.

  • My guest today is Doctor Shafali Sabari and she's the author of a number of books.

  • The latest is the awakened family, and she's also a clinical psychologist and kind of known as Oprah's parenting expert.

  • You may have seen her a number of different times on the show.

  • What's really fascinating to me is that she has this extraordinary lens, sort of east meets west approach to helping grownups become who they need to be through a relationship with children.

  • And her take on this and her take on a lot of the anxiety that happens in families, not only between parents and kids, but also between adults and who they blame and what's really behind it and how to emerge into a life that's happy and fulfilled and where you are actually truly yourself.

  • Pretty interesting process and lens.

  • She also has her really own fascinating personal journey, growing up in Mumbai, India, and then moving around there and then making the decision at the age of twelve that she was going to leave and then finally actually leaving at the age of 21 and landing in Haight Ashbury in San Francisco.

  • And how that happened and why she picked that place and what happened when she landed is all part of today's really enjoyable and fascinating conversation.

  • I hope you enjoyed as much as I did.

  • I'm Jonathan Fields and this is good life project, so let's take an interesting step back in time.
