Decir que no puede ser una de las cosas que más ruptura genere en una relación, incluso en la que tenemos con nuestros hijos. Pero, ¿qué pasa cuando es justamente nuestra responsabilidad decir que no una y otra vez?
Los límites son tan necesarios como la conexión en la crianza consciente. Si no sabemos ponerlos de forma clara, amorosa y conectada, pueden traer resultados negativos: distancia, resentimiento y una relaci...
Saying no can be one of the things that creates the biggest rupture in a relationship, even in the one we have with our children. But what happens when it’s actually our responsibility to say no again and again?
Boundaries are just as necessary as connection in conscious parenting. If we don’t know how to set them clearly, lovingly, and with connection, they can lead to negative results: distance, resentment, and fragi...
Am I doing this right for my kids? What should I actually be focusing on? Which boundaries really matter?
The Adolescente series has opened the door to some incredibly important—and much-needed—conversations around parenting. It’s been powerful, eye-opening, and validating for so many of us. But at the same time, it’s also brought a whole lot of noise: a sense of urgency, scarcity, and confusion about how to move forwa...
Lo estaré haciendo bien con mis hijos? En qué debería enfocarme realmente? Qué límites son los que de verdad importan?
La serie Adolescente abrió la puerta a conversaciones increíblemente importantes —y muy necesarias— sobre la crianza. Ha sido poderosa, reveladora, y para muchos, reconfortante.

Cuando en unos años le pregunten a nuestros hijos, "cómo eran las navidades en tu casa" qué queremos que nuestros hijos digan? qué recuerdos queremos que se lleven?
No son los regalos lo que realmente queda en su memoria, sino esa sensación de calidez, la conexión que sienten en esta época, los momentos compartidos en familia y el ambiente que perciben en casa.
Por años, me he quejado de que en Australia &quo...
When, in a few years, someone asks our children, "What were Christmases like at your house?" — what do we want them to say? What memories do we want them to carry with them?
It’s not the gifts that truly stay in their memory. It’s that feeling of warmth, the sense of connection they experience during this season, the moments spent together as a family, and the overall atmosphere they perceive at home.

A very personal episode where I share how different the birth experiences of my two children were and the lessons each one left me with. These are learnings I've carried with me ever since, not only as a mom but as a human being.
We’ll talk about perspective, creating our own story, realising what truly matters to us, and, most importantly, learning to let go of that need for control that we all feel sometimes.
I h...

Espero que lo disfruten.
Con amor,

Esta mañana no eran ni las 10 y ya sentía que había tenido que decidir más de 15 cosas! A veces ser padres se siente como una constante toma de decisiones: le digo que sí a que se quede a dormir en casa del amigo?, seguiré dando pecho?, tendré que llevarla al doctor?, lo dejo ver YouTube?, estará listo para caminar al cole solo?, será que le escribo a la mamá del amigo que le hizo bullying?, dejo que se venga a mi cam...
