Psychologist Reveals the One Thing Self-Aware Parents Do Differently | Dr Saliha Afridi
What if being self-aware isn’t enough to be the parent you want to be? In this eye-opening episode, I’m joined by clinical psychologist and parenting expert Dr. Saliha Afridi to explore the often overlooked connection between self-awareness and conscious parenting. Whether you’re a current or future parent who’s done the inner work — or you’re just beginning your self-development journey — this conversation will give you practical tools, powerful insights, and a deeper understanding of how to raise emotionally resilient, self-aware kids. And some of the tips are NOT what you would expect! We cover: → When and how to start teaching self-awareness → The biggest mistake even mindful parents make → Tech, toddlers, and what actually harms your child’s brain → The parenting style that builds confident, grounded humans → Why your personal healing does impact your kids — and how to use it wisely 👶 This one’s for parents who want to break cycles, raise better humans, and stay true to themselves in the process.
