About this episode
Emily Cleghorn discusses the impact of trauma on motherhood and introduces tools for healing and support.
In this episode of Mamahood After Trauma, host Emily Cleghorn explores the deeply rooted pattern of hyper-awareness and self-blame that many trauma survivors carry into motherhood. She explains how these survival mechanisms, developed in childhood to maintain safety and connection, often manifest in adulthood as chronic guilt and emotional over-responsibility. Emily also introduces the "Peace Pack," a monthly trauma-informed tool delivered by mail, alongside a private Patreon community for ongoing support. With warmth and lived experience, she empowers mothers to recognize outdated patterns, honor their resilience, and embrace healing — so they can truly mama in peace.Schedule a heart to heart call: https://coaching.mamahoodaftertrauma.ca/hearttoheart 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!
