My guest, Kristina, was fortunate to have at least two significant female role models in her life. One being her mother and the other, her maternal grandmother, Lucia, who was the more compassionate one.As the oldest of three children, Kristina felt that her mom was hardest on her.  She shares wonderful stories of cooking delicious Italian food with her mom, everything from scratch  and loves having all the family recipes. Her mother was very talented and creative, very charismatic yet her mom didn't believe in herself, didn't have the same confidence that her daughter has.  "She was an amazing seamstress, made all their Communion dresses and gowns."  Unfortunately, Linda Marie "suffered from  a lot of anxieties and narcissism as well and it would affect her and make her really insecure," reflects my guest.As an adult, Kristina has been in therapy and it's helped her to start her healing process.  This has been a difficult journey however, Kristina  has come to understand and appreciate that "her mom was doing the best with what she had.  She was working to  be the best version of herself every day."Lucia also shares with us her beautifully crocheted -Curiously Created Creations-Bella and friends.  Lucia's mom always wanted her daughter to be a teacher. Now, Kristina has created these darling children's books and stuffed animals "to help children process their feelings and help them navigate through their range of emotions. "These books are love letters to my mom. I think it's important to acknowledge the trauma, it's important to see the dysfunciton, but the healing is equily as important because it's showing that we do have a choice. My mom's choice was to raise the best kids she could possibly raise."Her main character of the series is Bella Lucia.  The mission of the series, explains Kristina, "is communication between parents and children. I like to  focus on that because when we're able to identify through our feelings and communicate with each other, we're able to acknowledge it and get down to the why."I hope you enjoy our conversation.WWEBSITE: https://cccokl.com/FB: https://www.facebook.com/KristinaLucia21583INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ccc_of_kristina_lucia/PINTEREST: https://www.pinterest.com/kristinalucia0006/TIK TOK: @ccc_kristina_luciaLINKEDIN:https://www.linkedin.com/company/curiously-curated-creations/about/https://www.subscribepage.com/a-simple-activity-to-spend-quality-time-with-your-child_copy
