The Practice of Being Human

Parenting with Presence: What Our Children Really Feel


Listen Later

In this episode of The Practice of Being Human, Marta reflects on the heart of conscious parenting — not as a performance, but as a practice of presence.

Through stories of friendship, belonging, and lessons inspired by Gabor Maté, she explores how our children don’t experience our intentions, but our energy. They feel the nervous system beneath our words — the steadiness, safety, and attunement that say, you’re loved, you’re safe, I’m here.

You’ll hear insights on:

  • The unseen impact of stress, fear, and perfectionism on connection

  • How to bring compassion, not shame, to our past parenting

  • The power of repair, curiosity, and regulation

  • Why conscious parenting begins with our own healing

This episode is a reminder that we can’t give what we haven’t yet received — and that tending to our own hearts is the most loving act of all.

Because the most sacred gift we offer our children is not our perfection, but our presence.
