Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin · Wednesday, September 23, 2026
Psychologist Dr. Shefali explains that conscious parenting is not just about addressing significant childhood trauma, but also about examining ingrained belief systems around money, relationships, and societal expectations. She emphasizes the importance of parents looking inward and asking if their reactions are about themselves or their children.
“It's really the willingness to constantly show up and be courageous and humble and evolve, and look in the mirror and ask yourself, is this more about me or about them?”
“So much of that really comes from your own story and your own parental ego resonated with me.”
“But conscious parenting is not just about trauma, it's about looking at all your crap, and patterns.”
