Not Just Baby Prep: Why Healing Your Trauma Is the Most Important Thing You Can Do Before Kids
About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of healing personal trauma before becoming a parent.
In this episode, we explore why healing your own wounds is one of the most powerful things you can do before having children. Drawing on research around intergenerational trauma, attachment, and parental stress, we unpack how unresolved experiences from your childhood can quietly shape your reactions to crying, tantrums, and everyday parenting triggers. You’ll hear practical, compassionate strategies for nervous system regulation, reparenting your inner child, and beginning to “reorganize” your story so you can show up as a more grounded, responsive parent for the next generation.
