Permission to Grow

Dr. Shefali opens up such intimate conversations of courage and vulnerability, engaging thoughtfully in both supporting parents to better guide their kids, and also helping parents to better guide themselves. This is a must listen for any parent who is seeking to break generational patterns and seeking to consciously grow beyond how they were raised as a child.

Straight forward and radically honest

I love this podcast and have followed Dr. Shefali’s work for years with my son. He’s not a teen and we are hitting new territories, resistance and attitudes. These real life episodes are like a warm balm that it’s all a part of the curriculum, we are not alone and there are tools to navigate parenting challenges. We get to grow up together with our kid.
