    9.12 Radical awakening: to Parent or Not? Breaking Free from Internalised Oppression and Embracing Authenticity

    9.12 Radical awakening: to Parent or Not? Breaking Free from Internalised Oppression and Embracing Authenticity

    Dr Shefali is a clinical psychologist. She has written five books with the aim of helping us to live more consciously in order to live our best life. She focuses on parenting and how, as adults, we are ravaged by the consciousness of the parenting we received in our childhood. Dr Shefali helps people to return to their authentic selves.



    On parenting: Dr Shefali explains why we are captive to our parents' unconsciousness. She also dispels myths of parenting and gives a very honest take on the reality and guilt surrounding parenthood.

    On childhood: We journey through Dr Shefali’s own upbringing and how she felt constricted by Indian culture. She tells us why she believes it’s important to honour ourselves through our parents.

    Her Saturn Journey: Dr Shefali speaks candidly about her divorce which she describes as ‘divorcing herself from the unauthentic role she was playing.’ We touch on how we can turn our pain into power and why acting with abundance and empowerment can lead us to better alignment.

    Showing up as Women: Dr Shefali gives us her take on modern day feminism and where she thinks we should shift our focus. We reflect on how women have contoured themselves and how this has led to further confusion and misalignment. We dissect how this nuanced micromanagement of women has come at the sacrifice of our true authentic selves.

    Honouring the oppressed: We explore the victimisation by patriarchy and why Dr Shefali believes we should also have compassion for men as well as ourselves. We also discuss how internalising the oppression has enabled us to become our own oppressor and how women have themselves become part of the patriarchy.

Spiritual, wise, and insightful

Love this podcast! Caggie is funny, warm, thoughtful, and insightful - listening to her and the conversations she guides her guests through are interesting and fulfilling, like time spent with a very wise, reflective friend. This podcast has been an anchor for me through lots of ups and downs over the past 18 months. Thank you Caggie!
