In this powerful episode, I’m joined by the incredible Emily Cleghorn, a trauma-informed mentor and advocate who supports trauma-surviving mamas in managing their triggers, healing their nervous systems, and creating peaceful, thriving homes. Emily brings a deeply compassionate, holistic lens to healing — rooted not only in practical tools, but in the truth of how difficult a journey motherhood can be.
Together, we explore the raw and real journey of motherhood after trauma — the moments where triggers hijack your nervous system, the shame of not getting it right, and the powerful truth that healing while parenting is not only possible… it’s profoundly transformative.
You’ll hear us unpack questions like:
What is a “Trigger Toolkit” — and how can it help a mama in the middle of a spiral?
How do you know the difference between being overwhelmed vs. being triggered?
What does it look like to embody the Sacred Witness in real-time, especially when your child is activating your deepest wounds?
How can we begin to break generational cycles… even when we’re still healing?
Emily shares her personal awakening — the moment she realized she couldn’t keep parenting from a place of survival — and how everything changed when she began to pause, breathe, and witness her triggers with compassion.
