#155: Parenting Expert: "Boys Don't Have A Blueprint For Manhood Anymore"

Dr. Shefali has helped millions of parents rethink what it actually means to raise a child, and in this episode she breaks down why most parenting struggles trace straight back to the parent's own unhealed childhood. Se unpacks conscious parenting, the difference between masculinity and toxic masculinity, why boys today are growing up with no real blueprint for manhood, and why every trigger you feel as a parent is really an invitation to look at yourself first.

We also get into raising sons versus daughters differently, why physical challenge matters for boys, and why a parent's own consciousness, not the child's behavior, is what actually shapes how a kid turns out.
