Summary
In this powerful episode, host Emily Cleghorn dismantles the damaging myth that cycle breakers must be fully healed before they can raise healthy children. With honesty and compassion, Emily reframes what breaking cycles truly means — not perfection, but intentionality. She walks listeners through practical steps including repairing after ruptures, learning emotional regulation, setting boundaries, and challenging inherited beliefs. Emily reminds trauma-surviving mamas that they are not behind — they are doing courageous, generational work. She also invites listeners to join The Rising Room, a community built to support mamas healing and parenting differently, together.
