ELEVATE Podcast

For every leader, there’s an Elevation. What's an elevation? A moment or series of moments of clarity that can be put into action to elevate your life or purpose. We elevate through empathy, respect, inspiration, impact, and maybe most of all, diversity of thought. Why do we do it? Leaders are taught to be so self-reliant, that they often lose themselves. We believe that clarity of purpose is a human necessity and that sharing is the best philosophy for leadership. We turn the challenges we face into conversations and those conversations into clarity.

#132. Your Ego Is Raising Your Kids | Dr. Shefali

July 25, 2025 • Elevation Barn • Season 12 • Episode 1

What if the biggest challenge in parenting… is not the child, but the parent?

In this powerful and revealing conversation, clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Shefali unpacks the revolutionary concept of conscious parenting—a journey that begins not with changing our children, but transforming ourselves. With wisdom, humor, and unflinching honesty, she explores how our own egos, projections, and childhood wounds quietly shape the way we parent—and how we can break the cycle.

From her personal spiritual awakening to being “fired” by clients who weren’t ready for the truth, Dr. Shefali shares the insights that sparked a global movement. She introduces “The Parenting Map”—a practical and deeply human framework to help us recognize the masks we wear, navigate cultural conditioning, and reconnect with our inner compass.

Whether you're a parent, a child, a leader, or someone seeking deeper self-awareness, this episode will forever change how you think about love, control, legacy, and yourself.

Listen now and discover what it truly means to parent, live, and lead with presence.
