## Resource

In this episode of Mamahood After Trauma, host Emily Cleghorn introduces the powerful concept of "energetic overdraft" — the exhausting cycle of giving more than you have. Speaking directly to trauma survivors who became "the strong one," Emily explores how hyper-independence, people-pleasing, and fear of disappointing others silently drain our reserves.With honesty and compassion, she challenges listeners to examine where they're overspending their energy and reminds them that strength doesn't require carrying everything alone. This episode is an inspiring invitation to choose awareness, embrace rest without guilt, and begin reclaiming yourself — one small, courageous decision at a time.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Become a Mamahood After Trauma Supporter- https://buymeacoffee.com/mamahoodaftertrauma Take the quiz here: https://freebie.mamahoodaftertrauma.ca/calmquiz If you’re ready to go deeper and connect with a community of women who get it, I’d love to invite you into the Rising Room—our safe space for mamas navigating healing, growth, and motherhood after trauma.
