Stop Trying to Fit in

Dr. Shefali sits down with entrepreneur, bestselling author, and Habits & Hustle podcast host Jennifer Cohen for a conversation about confidence, resilience, and becoming your most empowered self. Jennifer shares the inspiration behind her book, Bigger, Better, Bolder, and explains why she is passionate about giving women practical tools to build confidence and take action. She also reflects on her experience as a working mom, feeling like the black sheep in many mommy groups because her career didn’t fit the expectations of the traditional stay at home mom.

As a mother, Jennifer believes that children learn by watching their parents. She shares how striving to become the best version of herself has had a positive influence on her children, who have adopted many of those same qualities through observation.

Together, she and Dr. Shefali explore why supporting other women, leading by example, and living boldly can create a lasting impact on the next generation.

Why More Parents Are Choosing Homeschooling ?

On today’s episode, Dr. Shefali is joined by two moms and founders of Mindful Mantas to explore the world of homeschooling. They share their personal journeys as mothers and entrepreneurs, and explain what inspired them to create a different learning path for their children. The conversation covers the pros and cons of homeschooling, the importance of recognizing that every child learns differently, and how one founder’s own experience with ADHD helped her better understand her child and create a more supportive learning environment.

Dr. Shefali and the founders discuss why homeschooling is not the right fit for every family, but for some children it can be a powerful way to reduce stress, build confidence, and foster a lifelong love of learning.

The Secret Struggle of Modern Fathers

As we celebrate Father’s Day, Dr. Shefali sits down with Dominic Watts, mindful father, holistic coach, and author, for a powerful conversation about conscious fatherhood and the importance of presence in parenting.

Dominic shares how men rarely talk openly about what it truly means to be a mindful dad and why so many fathers struggle to stay emotionally connected in the chaos of everyday life. He discusses the practice of presence, developing continual awareness of both the inner and outer moment, and how deeper attunement with our children can transform the parent child relationship.

Dominic also opens up about the power of meditation and how it became a game changer in his own life. He shares that conscious parenting is not about perfection, but about continually returning to awareness, especially during the moments when he notices himself slipping away from the father he wants to be.

I Thought I Was a Conscious Parent… Until I Wasn’t

Dr. Shefali is joined by her dear friend and mentor Barnet Bain, an Academy Award winning and Emmy nominated director.
