In today’s episode, Róisín Ingle is joined by clinical psychologist, parenting expert and bestselling author Dr Shefali to talk about raising children in the algorithm era. Dr Shefali’s work regularly appears on the New York Times best seller list and she is a regular on Oprah’s Super Soul Sundays. Her latest books, Raising Conscious Daughters and Raising Conscious Sons, tackle some of the biggest challenges facing families today. In this wide-ranging conversation, the pair discuss the pressures facing girls in a culture obsessed with appearance and perfection, the crisis of modern masculinity, and her warning that many boys are now being mentored by pornography and the manosphere rather than trusted adults.
But first, Irish Times podcast producer Suzanne Brennan is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week, including the crisis in Ireland’s national care system which is putting extremely vulnerable girls at risk and the reaction to Joanne McNally’s American TV debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
