## Resource

Many trauma-surviving mothers are haunted by the fear: "What if I become the person who hurt me?" This episode dives into the heart-wrenching moments when old patterns surface, and self-doubt takes over, making you question your ability to parent differently. But just because you recognize familiar behaviors doesn’t mean you’re doomed to repeat them. The belief that your past determines your future is a myth — you have the power to choose a new path, even when it feels impossible. In this episode, Emily promises to show you how noticing patterns is the first step to breaking them, and why striving for repair, not perfection, is what truly transforms families. She’ll guide you to see yourself not as a product of your past, but as the author of your family’s future. As a trauma survivor, mother, and certified trauma recovery coach, Emily Cleghorn brings lived experience and professional expertise to every conversation, offering compassionate, practical support for mothers on their healing journey. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Become a Mamahood After Trauma Supporter- https://buymeacoffee.com/emilycleghorn Take the quiz here: https://emilycleghorncoaching.ca/quiz 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.
