What happens when Eastern philosophy meets Western psychology and is shaped by a lifelong dedication to human and women's rights? The answer may lie in the work of Catherine Borgman-Arboleda. In this dynamic interplay of ancient wisdom and modern psychology, Catherine presents a conscious coaching approach that combines insights and compassion to foster meaningful, lasting change.
We discuss the evolution of our perspectives on parenting, highlighting key takeaways from our own experiences with conscious parenting pioneers, including Dr. Shefali Tsabary and Dr. Gabor Maté. These encounters have encouraged a deeper, more introspective approach towards parenting, emphasizing the need for compassion, both towards oneself and others.
Catherine encourages parents to trust their instincts and view challenging times as opportunities for growth. She advocates for conscious conversations that focus on connection and curiosity without judgment or predetermined outcomes, fostering a nurturing environment for both parents and children.
In a world where change feels constant and demanding, embracing a new way of being and connecting can be revolutionary. Catherine's approach is a beacon for those looking for transformative guidance in their parenting journey.
