#11 – From Pain to Purpose. Conscious Parenting With MamaMaria.

Today I share my conversation with Maria Bordallo – a psychologist, certified Aware Parenting instructor, and a mother. Maria founded Mamamaria to help parents prepare for and navigate the journey of parenthood, with a focus on healing childhood wounds and building strong, loving bonds with their children. What a beautiful mission. 

In our conversation Maria shares her personal story. We also talk about what dysfunctional family is and how to identify it, about the role of community and how the whole world of parenting is becoming yet another 'market' to sell something to. While Maria wants to create something much more profound and deep – an event, BBABBY Fair, meant to bring us back to the core and redefine how we approach parenting. 

Takeaways: 

• True happiness comes from within, not external validation.
• Crisis often leads to significant personal growth.
• Understanding family history is crucial for self-awareness.
• Health issues can serve as wake-up calls for change.
• Addiction patterns often stem from family dynamics.
• Parenting requires emotional awareness and self-understanding.
• Community support is essential for new parents.
• Involving fathers in parenting is vital for family health.
• BBABBY fair as an attempt to redefine an approach to how we approach parenting
