Michelle Madrigal Instagram – Becoming a mom to Anika has transformed how I approach parenting. I’ve embraced conscious parenting, prioritizing her needs above all else. Coming from a different era, I had to learn the art of gentle parenting, aiming to create a deep bond with my daughter. I feel incredibly blessed that she confides in me without hesitation. My goal is to encourage a safe, nurturing environment for Anika and any future children I may have. I believe in providing guidance without TYING THEIR WORTH to achievements, whether it’s in sports or any other pursuit. Parenting is complex; it’s about striking a balance between guidance and letting them explore. It truly takes a community filled with love, empathy, and patience to raise kind-hearted, respectful children. 🩵
