What if your child’s behaviour isn’t the real problem?

In this powerful conversation, Donna Moala is joined by Dr. Shefali (@doctorshefali), clinical psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of the Conscious Parenting movement, to explain why behaviour management alone doesn’t work, and what actually creates lasting change in families.

Together, they unpack:

What conscious parenting really means (and what it doesn’t)

Why behaviour is a signal, not the issue

How parents unknowingly project their own childhood wounds

Why connection, not control, builds resilient kids

How to become your child’s outer nervous system

Why it’s never too late to repair or strengthen your relationship with your child

📌 This episode is especially powerful for parents of strong-willed children, teens, and parents who feel like traditional parenting advice just isn’t working anymore.

Dr. Shefali also shares insights from her upcoming work on raising Gen Z and Gen Alpha children in a digitally overwhelmed world, and what parents need to do differently now.
