In the latest episode of the podcast 'Željka Markić & Narod.hr,' which continues from the previous format '55 minuta sa Željkom Markić,' host Željka Markić invited Marija Livaja, a devoted mother and preschool educator. Livaja shared her deeply personal experiences growing up in an SOS children's village in Ladimirevci and discussed how her role as a caregiver and mother to her five sons is profoundly fulfilling. Markić noted that the timing of the podcast coincided with International Women’s Day, highlighting Livaja’s journey as a strong, emancipated woman as a significant example for listeners.

Looking ahead, the Livaja family is preparing to welcome a new addition in August, which Marija humorously expressed a desire for to be a daughter, wishing for some female presence among her sons. This light-hearted comment adds a personal touch to the narrative, showing Livaja's warmth and sense of humor in her family life. She and her husband are also involved in entrepreneurship, illustrating a balance between family responsibilities and professional aspirations.

The podcast not only serves as a platform for personal stories but also emphasizes the values of family care and women's empowerment. Livaja's insights resonate with many listeners who may also find themselves navigating similar challenges and joys of family life, and the discussion enriches the discourse around the roles women play in both private and public spheres. This episode showcases the importance of sharing personal narratives and supporting one another through shared experiences.
