It Was Never About the Phone — Dr. Shefali on Raising Conscious Sons & Daughters

I threw my 16-year-old's phone out the window of a moving minivan. Then I sat down with the founder of conscious parenting and asked her what I actually did.

Dr. Shefali — clinical psychologist, NYT bestselling author, and the person whose book changed how I parent when I was 23 — joins me the week her two new books drop, Raising Conscious Sons and Raising Conscious Daughters. She tells me why taking the phone backfires, what "becoming a light" looks like when you're exhausted, how to have the porn conversation with a teenage boy, and why most of us apologize to ease our own guilt. I tell her about the apology to my son that finally worked. She roasts twin moms. I deserved it.
