In this powerful conversation, Dr. Shefali is joined by author and podcaster Jon Fogel, a father of four and advocate for conscious parenting. Together, they explore the importance of showing up fully and intentionally as a parent—especially as a father. Jon opens up about the parenting patterns he inherited from his own upbringing and how he sometimes falls into those same traps. With honesty and vulnerability, he discusses the moments he reacts in ways he wishes he didn’t, and how conscious parenting offers a better, more connected path forward. This episode is a heartfelt look at the journey of breaking generational cycles and parenting with presence and purpose.
