I absolutely loved this conversation with Lina Aristizabel-Villa. She has dedicated her life to becoming a conscious parent and defining that for her and now she’s here to share what that looks like and why we should consider taking this path for ourselves as well. Lina is a Social Scientist from the University of Sussex a leading research-intensive university in England, UK. She also holds an MBA from the University of North Carolina where she specialized in Operations and earned a Six Sigma certification.
She has spent the last 2 decades researching the link between society and human behavior and thus, understanding how and why people behave the way they do as individuals and groups. Lina moved from the UK to the USA where she has held a corporate career developing and integrating software to improve processes through automation.
Lina lives in Los Angeles with her husband Frank, their 2 children Nico and Isa, and their 2 Australian Shepherds Osa and Bronco.
Her children are first-generation Americans and she has made her life's purpose to raise them confident and free, which lead to creating @ItakesaVilla as a way to speak, write and spread the conscious parenting philosophy.
This is her mission for conscious parenting and for parents to really get to know themselves so that they can craft they way they want to parent. You’re gonna want to listen to this multiple times, take notes and hold your hand to your heart to heal any shame you might feel from “doing it wrong”. This episode is dedicated to my own mother. Thank you for your grace and your sacrifice so that I may live this life in my full expression. Let's go.
Takeaways with Lina:
Did you get something out of this episode? If you did please share with a parent out there that could really use this episode.
@Itakesavilla is based on the African proverb it takes a village. We help each other and raise children together.
1. All the problems and all the solutions are inside you.
2. We all hit rock bottom and thats the beauty in it. All ideas happen out of a lot of pain.
3. You decide and have a choice to change.
4. BE-ing is a place of inquiry of who your kids are. If you don’t do that you start crushing them.
5. Look at your kid and ask what are you teaching me.
6. Have humility for your mistakes and own them.
7. Meditation allows you to sit with the ugly and create that resilience.
8. It doesn’t matter what they do. Its there well being thats important to us. nothing else.
