Heal Squad
About this episode

Maria, Kelsey, and Pooja discuss their enlightening interview with Dr. Shefali, an esteemed clinical psychologist and the bestselling author of "A Radical Awakening: Turn Pain into Power, Embrace Your Truth, Live Free." Their conversation centers on society's expectations of women, particularly within the realm of relationships.


As they delve into their thoughts, Maria takes the lead, passionately sharing her personal journey with marriage and why she chose to wait until later in life. They engage in a heartfelt conversation about societal pressures and how they can impact women's choices and experiences.


Deepening the discussion, they explore the powerful practice of "who said?" which Dr. Shefali emphasized during the interview. They reflect on how this simple question can revolutionize one's perspective and liberate individuals from the shackles of societal norms and expectations. By challenging the origins of these beliefs, they realize the potential for personal growth and the ability to reclaim their own truth.


Maria explores the profound concept of childhood baggage and its lingering effects in adulthood and the significance of self-awareness and the potential for healing and growth when we confront our past experiences.


This is a must-listen-to conversation filled with introspection and empowerment.
