Dr. Shafali, welcome to Money Rehab. Oh, I'm so happy to be here. I'm so happy to have you here because I do have to come clean that I bought only one parenting book while I was pregnant.
Dr. Shefali Tsabary 1:22
Mine.
Nicole Lapin 1:23
It was yours. It was not like what to expect when you were expecting, you know, there was gonna be weird stuff that happened to my body, I could deal with it. But what I was really focused on was how do I raise my daughter without some of the childhood trauma that I went through. So I grew up in a really chaotic upbringing, and all I was scared about while I was pregnant. and thinking about how to educate myself was how do I not pass that down on to my daughter. Wow. So thank you. Well for helping. I hope it
Dr. Shefali Tsabary 1:53
helped. I hope it uh calmed you and I hope it gave you some direction. It's not easy to do conscious parenting, you know, and it never It never has a clear destination. It it doesn't have a goal, you know, like, oh now this means I'm a conscious parent. 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 is this about them? And th that question is the grounding principle of conscious parenting and conscious living in every moment, in every relationship, to ask, to dare to ask, is this what's coming up about me or about us? You know, and that's so hard to do because we want to blame the other person, you
Nicole Lapin 2:38
know.
Dr. Shefali Tsabary 2:39
But you have to look in the
Nicole Lapin 2:39
mirror. You have to look in the mirror. So much of that really comes from Your own story and your own self. So parental ego really resonated with me in that way. Where you have to clean up your side of the street in all
Dr. Shefali Tsabary 2:54
relationships. Right? So so the trauma piece, many people can understand, especially when they grow up in trauma. They'll they they know very clearly that this doesn't feel good and I don't want to pass it down. Okay. So we we can come to that awareness. But you know where people find it really hard? to decide to be conscious. The ones who don't have that much trauma. They're like, okay, I am conscious. They don't believe that there's more to be done in terms of look at your belief systems anyway. Who said your belief systems around money? sexuality, race, religion are right anyway. Just because you weren't traumatized doesn't mean you're still not so unconscious about what it means to get an A grade, what it means to look a certain way, what it means to be happy.
Dr. Shefali Tsabary 3:41
So that level of deconstruction and piercing examination, people don't want to do. The traumatized ones are the humble ones. They're like, I was traumatized, I don't want to pass it down. Can I look at myself? Oh. But the whole other range of the non-traumatized people who say they're not traumatized. They're like, we're good. Why should I look at anything? And why should I upend any belief systems? But conscious parenting is not just about trauma. It's about looking at all your crap.
