The Mindful Corner Podcast


Hosted by clinical psychologist Dr. Erika Velez, The Mindful Corner is a series of candid conversations with everyday individuals from all walks of life–single parents, college students, career professionals, roaming travelers, and more–who share stories in the hopes that we can earn from each other and, simultaneously, grow together. Have you ever experienced a moment in your life that felt isolating and hopeless? Did you wish you could connect with someone who was dealing with the same emotions you felt? Although our experiences as individuals may be unique, there's far more that we have in common than what separates us. The Mindful Corner will be our place to have authentic and raw conversations about the human experience while discussing the gift of mindfulness and how we can all benefit from some time in a mindful corner.

In this enlightening episode, Dr. Velez hosts the renowned psychologist and author, Dr. Shefali, who is celebrated for her transformative books, including "The Conscious Parent," "The Radical Awakening," and "The Parenting Map." Dr. Shefali shares her profound insights on conscious parenting and personal growth.

Dr. Shefali discusses the shift from traditional, authoritarian parenting to a more soulful and connected model. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and mindfulness in parenting, highlighting how our conditioning and anxiety to create the "perfect child" can hinder our ability to truly connect with our children.

The conversation delves into the power dynamics between parents and children, stressing that children are not meant to be controlled but rather guided with love and understanding. Dr. Shefali emphasizes the significance of mothers and their ability to nurture and empower their families.

This episode offers a powerful message: by becoming conscious, doing the self-work, and prioritizing self-growth, both parents and children can lead more abundant and empowered lives.

Dr. Shefali's wisdom is a guiding light for all listeners, offering valuable insights for conscious parenting and personal transformation.
