A messy or cluttered space around us can have a very real impact our levels of stress and anxiety. Too much 'stuff' around us is distracting and taxes our brain in ways that can reduce our ability to focus, think properly and function well. We can end up feeling completely overwhelmed and find it really hard to know where to start. 

In this fascinating conversation, psychologist Dr Erika Penney helps us understand why we feel the way we do when surrounded by mess and clutter, how it affects us and, importantly, strategies for tackling mess that help even the busiest among us!

Declutter Your Space, Settle Your Mind with Dr Erika Penney

Parenting can be one of the most meaningful – and most challenging – roles we’ll ever have. But what if the key to raising emotionally healthy children isn’t about fixing our kids… but about understanding ourselves?

In this powerful conversation, Dr Jodi Richardson sits down with world-renowned clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr Shefali, often described as Oprah Winfrey’s favourite parenting expert and the pioneer of the Conscious Parenting movement.

Dr Shefali shares how traditional parenting models rooted in control, fear, and perfectionism can unintentionally disconnect us from our children – and how a conscious parenting approach can transform not only our relationships with our kids, but also our relationship with ourselves.

Together, Jodi and Dr Shefali explore:

Why parenting is not a talent but a skill we cultivate

How our children can become mirrors for our own healing

The hidden pressure parents place on themselves to be “perfect”

Why awareness and presence are the first steps to conscious parenting

How to repair after conflict and strengthen connection

Why the most important work of parenting is actually raising our own inner child

If you’ve ever felt guilt, overwhelm, or the pressure to get parenting “right”, this episode is a powerful reminder that perfection isn’t the goal – growth and awareness are.

Dr Shefali will also be visiting Australia for two special live events where she’ll dive deeper into conscious parenting and how it can transform families for generations.
