Can consciousness transform our lives and relationships? 

My recent conversation with Dr. Shefali would suggest so. What began as a discussion about self-awareness evolved into a deep exploration of how consciousness can transform every aspect of our lives, from our relationships to our sense of purpose. 

Dr. Shefali not only offers insights and strategies, but we confront truths such as: Are we self-aware? How can we reclaim power in relationships? Why is understanding our shadow essential? 

Whatever the main relationships in your life, be it romantic, professional or as a parent, this episode will shine a light on how you can show up with self-awareness and authenticity. 

Dr. Shefali is a NYT bestselling author of books on conscious parenting and living. Oprah calls her "revolutionary" and "the best child expert" she's interviewed, and her message has reached millions through social media and appearances. 

This conversation gave me a new perspective on conscious living and tools for self-discovery, and I hope you take away from this as much as I did.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts, 

Sarah Ann
