Summary

In this powerful episode, trauma recovery coach and host Emily Cleghorn tackles one of motherhood's most challenging realities: parenting while still healing. Emily explains how trauma survivors' nervous systems interpret everyday parenting moments as threats, creating overwhelming triggered responses followed by crushing guilt. Her transformative message reframes the experience entirely — a triggered response is information, not identity. By shifting from self-attack to self-awareness, healing becomes possible, not through perfection, but through recognition, repair, and recovery. A must-listen for any mama navigating the beautifully messy middle of healing.Join the Rising Room here: https://coaching.mamahoodaftertrauma.ca/risingroom 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. https://www.patreon.com/c/MamahoodAfterTrauma 💬 And if you’ve got a story, insight, or wisdom to share, I’m always looking for new voices for the podcast!
