Today’s episode is a very special one for me. It is with my mom, Dr. Cristiana White. In this episode, we chat about her journey from the Dominican Republic, where she was raised and started her psychology education, to the United States, where she would raise a family, find work in her field and continue her education. We discuss her love for psychology, and her work as a social worker and guidance counselor. We also talk about our relationship and we discuss a period of difficulty we experienced that lasted for several years, starting in about 2006. One of the takeaways from this part of the conversation that I think is worth noting is the role of memory in relationships and how two individuals can remember a significant event totally differently, depending on their interpretation. This episode was a real pleasure for me to get to record and I hope you find it enjoyable as well.
