In this soul-shifting episode of ARISE with Anita, we’re diving deep into emotional legacy, childhood wounding, and the power of equipping the next generation with what most of us never received.
My guest today, Ana Cristina Gordillo, is the founder of The Magic Box for Children —a transformational toolkit designed for children ages seven and under to help them build emotional intelligence, regulation, and confidence from the start.
This conversation was born from a prayer to meet a counterpart doing the soul work of identity repair, healing, and emotional freedom. Ana and I explore everything from:
The unspoken stories children carry into adulthood
How cycles of shame and self-abandonment start early
Her powerful journey from Mexico to emotional educator
The real reason healing begins with us, not just our kids
Whether you’re a parent, cycle-breaker, or soul-led woman rewriting her story—this episode will speak to every version of you that needed to be seen earlier in life.
