Rediscovering Yourself When Survival No Longer Defines You
About this episode
Emily Cleghorn discusses the challenges of identity reconstruction after trauma and encourages mothers to reconnect with lost parts of themselves.
In this episode of Mamahood After Trauma, host Emily Cleghorn explores one of healing's most profound challenges: identity reconstruction. Emily vulnerably shares how early childhood trauma left her unsure of who she was beyond survival, and guides listeners through the disorienting "middle space" of healing — where the old self no longer fits, but the new self hasn't fully emerged. She encourages mothers to reconnect with lost parts of themselves through powerful reflective questions. Emily also shares updates about community support and introduces The Rising Room, her healing community for mothers navigating trauma recovery and motherhood simultaneously.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.
