Parents Our Greatest Teachers (en Inglés) - Alex Balgood

Alex Balgood spent most of her youth disliking her mother, forgetting about her father, and not caring for her siblings. It was not until she had to translate the death certificate of her father, reading aloud that he had passed away at the young age of 41, that she realized time was irreversible. After this, her perspective for life was never the same. She searched within herself for forgiveness, compassion, and appreciation, realizing that the hardships given to her by her parents were all lessons for her future. Join Alex Balgood in this book as she takes you along her roller coaster relationship with her parents. Her personal experiences combined with the diverse stories from her amazing guests will be sure to leave you with a new take on life. See how she is able to overcome critical situations by overcoming her stubborn mindset. She hopes to inspire others to break psychological chains that will better the future generations.

On this journey of self-analysis and meditation, Alex opens the doors of her home and her heart to us, to show us the origins of her family and to tell us the story of her parents, which is, at the same time, her own story. In addition, through stories from guest writers that range from comedic to cathartic, she offers us exercises that will help us let go of that heavy burden and, therefore, walk more lightly, experiencing through her eyes the events that shaped her and made her grow, as well as the healing process, and, why not, the redemption she had to go through to become the strong and fearless woman she is today. We are the sum of all the teachers we encounter along the way. Her message is honest and profound, a message that invites you to make peace with your past and to live fully in the present.
