Your Journey to Mental Wellness With Dr. Shefali, Dr. Christi Hibbert, Dr. Sarah Allen & Jill Ceder! Blog
As parents, we bandage scraped knees, prepare healthy meals and schedule well checkups to keep our kids healthy, but what about their mental health? And what about you, Mom? Moms tend to put themselves on the back-burner in all areas, but especially when it comes to mental health. We’ve gathered some extraordinary women who excel in the field to help you and your family start – or enhance – your journey to emotional wellness. We’re so fortunate that all of these amazing women are expert contributors at 30Second Mom!
Who We Love: Dr. Shefali Tsabary
Dr. Shefali Tsabary is a world-renowned clinical psychologist, international speaker and Oprah-endorsed author of the books “The Conscious Parent” (forwarded by His Holiness the Dalai Lama) and “Out of Control – Why Disciplining Your Child Doesn’t Work and What Will.” She specializes in the integration of Eastern philosophy and Western psychology.
Why We Love Her:
Dr. Shefali is a visionary who helps raise parents into a higher state of mindfulness. Her first book, “The Conscious Parent,” revolutionized the parenting journey and allowed parents to transform their relationships with their children. Her unique perspective in her second book, “Out of Control,” explained why traditional means of discipline just don’t work on kids and what we should do about it. She invites parents to enter the realm of the transcendent through inspirational words with #consciouscards, #consciousconversations and #consciousinsights. Dr. Shefali takes it even a step further with her #endshame movement, where she explains why parents need to stop shaming their kids and start creating connections.
