On today’s episode, Dr. Shefali explores father wounds with licensed psychotherapist, relationship expert, author and podcast host Terri Cole.
Terri explains how many women, especially high-achieving women, may be carrying a father wound without even realizing it. That wound can come from a father who was absent, abusive, emotionally unavailable or simply unable to give the connection and support a child needed.
She shares that a father wound does not always come from something dramatic. In her own life, it was less about a major event and more about emotional neglect and what was missing.
Terri and Dr. Shefali break down how these wounds can show up later in relationships, self-worth, boundaries and the way we move through the world. Most importantly, they offer insight into how to recognize the wound, heal from it and move forward with greater awareness and freedom.

On today’s episode, we explore how to navigate grief, especially the unimaginable loss of a child — one of the most heartbreaking experiences a parent, grandparent or family can endure.
Dr. Shefali is joined by New York Times bestselling author Dr. Laura Berman, who experienced the devastating loss of her son firsthand. She opens up about what happened, how social media played a role in his death, and what she has learned through the grieving process. Dr. Berman shares how she found a way forward through unimaginable pain and why she is now committed to helping other parents and families facing loss. This is a deeply emotional and powerful conversation that will move you, challenge you and may even change the way you look at grief, parenting and the world our children are growing up in.

On today’s episode, we dig deep into overparenting with Dr. Siggie Cohen, a renowned child development specialist and parenting expert.
Dr. Siggie explains how, with the best intentions, parents may actually be holding their kids back by doing too much for them. We overtalk, overlecture, overprotect, overaccommodate and overdo almost everything, which can lead to helplessness, weaker coping skills, fragility and increased anxiety. It’s an important conversation about when helping our kids becomes too much help, and how we can give them the space and confidence to handle more on their own.
As parents, it can be difficult to know when to step in and help—and when to step back. Should I bring my child’s forgotten homework to school? Should I get involved when they’re having issues with a friend? This week I’m turning to Yahoo Scout to identify common issues and get a perspective from reliable sources as we explore how to support our kids while helping them build independence.
