Lucía Galán in Tenerife: MATERNIDAD REALverified
Lucía Galán brings her talk 'Maternidad Real' to the Teatro Cine Realejos in Los Realejos, part of a series reaching Seville and the Canary Islands in November 2026. The talk grows out of a conviction she wants mothers and fathers to hold on to: children do not need a perfect mother, they need a real one. The session is for adult audiences and covers guilt, self-demand and mental load.
The talk 'Maternidad Real' grows out of a question that has accompanied Lucía Galán for years in her consulting room, in her books, in her courses and in her own life as a mother: how often does a parent feel they are not measuring up, and how often does that silent guilt appear after shouting, after losing patience or after not being as present as they would have liked. From there comes the conviction that gives the talk its title: children do not need a perfect mother, they need a real one.
The conference addresses guilt, self-demand, mental load, bonding, secure attachment and emotional repair, and it speaks about parenting as well as about mothers themselves, about a motherhood that sometimes weighs heavily and sometimes transforms. It is a warm and moving talk, with science, with humour and with truth, aimed at mothers and fathers and at adult audiences. It takes place on Tuesday, 24 November 2026 at 19:00 at the Teatro Cine Realejos in Los Realejos.
